Free 3d Design Software

DesignWorkshop Lite: A fast, fun and free tool for creating 3D models, images, and walkthroughs, from sketches to presentations.

I first found this software a couple of years ago. I used it to design some landscaping. Decent tool for the price.

The complete freeware DesignWorkshop Lite software package provides all you need to build your own 3D models for home design and visualization of architecture, landscapes, exhibits, or any kind of spatial design. With DesignWorkshop Lite you can view and walk-through ready-made models of any size, like the free 3D building models in the Great Buildings Online, in DXF, DesignWorkshop, or 3DMF format, with amazing live 3D speed.

You can get the software with documentation and tutorials for $9.95 but the download version is free.

Free Web-Based SSH and Telnet

If you run your own web server, the software is free. For about USD20/year you can use a hosted solution.

Have you ever wanted SSH or telnet access to your system from an “internet desert” - from behind a strict firewall, from an internet cafe, or even from a mobile phone? Anyterm is a combination of a web page and a web server module that provides this access.

Anyterm can use almost any web browser and even works through firewalls. There is experimental support for mobile phones using WAP. If you join my.anyterm.org you can access your systems straight away via our server with no software to install anywhere. Alternatively, you can run the Anyterm software on your own system.

3000+ Free Games

It looks like the people who run this site are car dealers. Whatever. They have a huge selection of neat little games. You won't find an Oblivion clone here but there are some good RPG, Adventure and Platform games.

Voice Recognition Software

For developers, Sphinx is "a set of reasonably mature, world-class speech components that provide a basic level of technology to anyone interested in creating speech-using applications without the once-prohibitive initial investment cost in research and development; the same components are open to peer review by all researchers in the field, and are used for linguistic research as well".

Not for end users but I am sure some enterprising developers are wrapping front ends around this.
