Welcome to Self-Destructive Mail ! This website allows you to send self-destructive mails, with the following features :

    * It's free and unlimited
    * Warning message at the opening of the mail
    * Self-destruction of the mail triggered by a timeout, even on the screen
    * Non printable
    * Snapshot-proof (see the demo, you'll understand)
    * Delivery receipt

Using this site, you too can be an IMF agent, like Ethan Hunt, and send super secret emails to others that will "self-destruct." Now what could be cooler than that?

Download and play Sauerbraten (a.k.a. Cube 2), a free, open-source game

Screenshot - 11_2_2006 , 5_05_08 PM_thumb.png
Sauerbraten (a.k.a. Cube 2) is a free multiplayer/singleplayer first person shooter, built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS.

Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eyecandy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine.

The engine supporting the game is entirely original in code & design, and its code is Open Source (ZLIB license, read the docs for more on how you can use the engine)...

http://sauerbraten.org/

Here is a stunning, free first person shooter. There are versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Numerous screen shots will show the quality of the rendering engine. The game might take a while to download, however, as the files/downloads are over 100 MB.

The Open Source Web Design Project

Screenshot - 11_1_2006 , 4_16_56 AM_thumb.png
To put it simply, Open Source Web Design is a collection of web designs submitted by the community that anyone can download free of charge!
The Open Source Web Design project was founded in September, 2000 by Francis J. Skettino. The goal was to provide the Open Source community with quality web designs to help get people's projects on the web in a way that is both organized and good looking. From personal blogs to content managements systems to full fledged businesses, OSWD has been providing free web designs to those who need them for years. With your help, we will continue to do this for years to come.

Looks like a very cool site.  It was mentioned on http://microisvjournal.wordpress.com/ in the context of a trick to get yourself a link from a high pagerank page, which i find kind of sad and depressing; this is the internet state of affairs these days, everything is about how to figure out how to get linked from certain pages because the almighty google search engine algorithm gives you a better score when you do..  :(  but anyway, it still looks like a nice site.

New Ms Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 - Looks Interesting..

Screenshot - 10_31_2006 , 5_02_10 PM_thumb.png
Overall, I think the Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is a great addition to any office user's desktop. The comfort provided is extraordinary so long as posture is maintained, and the Instant Viewer and Magnifier provided within IntelliPoint help improve productivity. The laser engine and smooth (but close-range) wireless performance make for a smooth mousing experience. Your wrists will love you for it. But be warned, slouchers and gamers will feel the pain from using this mouse, both ergonomically and through the non-ratcheting scroll wheel.
