              Just one???? As a hardcore C++ hacker, it would HAVE to be Boost[^]. And then Antlr[^], 'cause my job has entailed writing several parsers.

                        DotNetNuke has opened up web development for me, all the tedious layout\security issues are handled leaving me to develop better websites.

                          Firefox with Firebug and Greasemonkey is essential. For development stuff? CCNet and mbUnit rock. But I have to say that the open source application I most recently fell in love with was apt[^]. Being able to install/update/upgrade/remove anything with just a simple command is awesome. :)

                              Amarok is probably the only app running more than firefox so I´ll have to say that´s my favorite.

                                Picnic is the way to go, don't fancy the Snickers much. Problem for me is the fridge always seems to be full of them (my father in-law wins them on some machine at the club), no one else likes them and as a diabetic I'm trying to stay away from them. The beer and the rum aren't going so chocolate and lollies had to.
