Merging directories:
Merge Directories - Combine two directories into one. If a file with the same name, date/time and size exists in the destination directory, the file being moved will be renamed with a numeric suffix. A text file can also be created in the destination directory detailing exactly what files were moved/renamed.(Via this thread on alt.comp.freeware. Special thanks to Omega and Bjorn.)
File Sieve - Copy or move files from a directory to a new folder, while creating subfolders from A-Z and sorting the files into them based on their name. (Requires VB runtimes.)
ThirdDir - Files in dir1 not in dir2 copied to dir3. (Requires MFC runtimes)
My favorite: XXCopy includes a very powerful directory flattening feature that can process multiple directories and offers many file renaming options.

WORLD SCRIPTURE - A Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts has some real gems, including these quotes from Jesus:
- You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. - Matthew 5.43-48
- Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. - Romans 12.21
- You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. - Matthew 5.38-41
- Then they came up and laid hands upon Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword." - Matthew 26.51-52

Libertarian Quotes is a must read, especially for Americans during this Independence Day holiday. A few selections:
- That measures of this nature [the draft] should be debated at all in the councils of a free government is cause of dismay. The question is nothing less than whether the most essential rights of personal liberty shall be surrendered and despotism embraced in its worst form. - Daniel Webster
- A government which robs Peter to pay Paul, can always count on the support of Paul. - George Bernard Shaw
- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin
- One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation. - Thomas B. Reed (1886)
- Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. - George Washington
- A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. - Thomas Jefferson (1801)
- The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it. - John Hay (1872)
- The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. - H.L. Mencken
- If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams

Jem Berkes (author of JBMail and many other excellent freeware and shareware apps) kindly sent word of his new popURL 1.0. For a given HTTP URL it displays: site name, server software, MIME type, file size, and the complete server response.
According to Jem, popURL is "very useful for debugging, but also in the context of these recent IIS/IE viruses spreading from major sites -- it can help you know that you're not visiting a potentially dangerous site running IIS."
