Have you ever received photos in a PDF? Or any other things inside one, which are impossible to use, because of the expensive proprietor application marketed by Adobe?

Actually there is a suite of free (as in beer) and free (as in permission) applications under the name of SomePDF which can do this job.

They can be installed to a Windows computer. But the directory structure will work in stand-alone mode too.

VideoPad Video Editor

Submitted by johnpieter on June 21, 2009 - 8:58am

VideoPad is a professional fully blown video editor.
It's arguably the best completely free video editor currently available.

It is free for both personal as well as commercial use.

The installer itself is only 600 kb, however, during installation it downloads ffmpeg3.
When fully installed the total size is around 7 mb.

VideoPad has no dotnet, gtk or java depenencies.
It does store its settings in the following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NCH Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NCH Software

BitBlinder - Open Source Torrent Traffic Encryption

Submitted by Quagmire_Jr on June 19, 2009 - 3:34pm

BitBlinder is a new OPEN SOURCE application that is under development. it hides your internet traffic/torrent traffic by routing it through other computers, like TOR, but it runs much faster, because of the system it uses (check their site for more info)

It is still currently in beta, but i would recommend making a portable version of it. A Portable Torrent Engine is good, but an ANONYMOUS PORTABLE TORRENT ENGINE is almost unbeatable... it will be the best thing since portable Firefox.
