Tech Stuff guest columnist
So hey, meet and greet Guest Columnist and my friend Al, who constantly surprises me. When we first met, he was this Goth who swore he was going to be a chef or something. He’s now researching techie and web news and has built up the rights to be called a fellow “nerd”.. just kidding! The boy has done his homework and I’m proud to present his first post, which I’m hoping will be a continuing series, so keep checking back, okay? –Kris

I am not going to get into cracking MD5 hashes on my first post or even going into tools for the modern day software pirate. But before I start rambling on, let me move onto the 5 tools that I highly recommend you using.
1.) Firefox is the alternative web browser (to Internet Explorer) spreading like smallpox infected blankets given to the American Indians. Extensions customize your browser to your likes. A built in pop up blocker lays the smack down on those nosy ads, and what about tweaks and hacks to speed up your surfing while browsing for pr0n (porn for you non-leet speakers)
2.) Winrar-Although not a free application like Firefox, is a great compression tool that should not be overlooked.
3.) Gimp is the open source tool that is in many ways comparable to Photoshop if not better AND free. I linked you to the Windows download because I am assuming you are not using *nix. Forgive me if you are a 1337 h4×0r and have already defaced my site.
4.) Open Office. Who needs that pesky dog in Microsoft Word telling you what to do? I say, feed that son of a bitch some blue cooling liquid you use for your car. Open office is FREE, and can be replaced with Word.
Word…
5.) So you like spyware huh? Ad Aware will reign genocide down upon the unwanted leeches of the Internet.
