A number of things I recommend people download this weekend. All excellent and all free.
Civilization 2
The classic game of world building probably the best PC game of the 90s.
A 1200 page Physics textbook in pdf format.
This book from Motion Mountain is Both entertaining and fascinating. It is comprehensive but easy to read and is even better for being free to download. I believe everyone should have a knowledge of physics in addition to classic literature.
BlackLight from F-Secure
With the news that some CDs from Sony have installed rootkits on users PCs it would be wise for people to download the Blacklight rootkit scanner and remover. It’s unlikely that you have a rootkit installed but for piece of mind take 10 minutes of your weekend to do this. There is an expiry date of 1st of January 2006 for this software so download and run before the end of the year.
