Fun fact: Everyone calls it "Nye-Nite", but it is pronounced as it is spelled: "Nin-Ite".

Ninite Ninite Ninite.



Why are these links to Ninite.com flag-killed? It's a tremendously useful program, IMO. Is there some secret danger about this tool I'm missing here?

I'd post my one-click-install-all-the-useful-things Ninite link (which preselects a custom selection of software into one installer) that I use for quickly setting up clean Windows machines at the kids' technology centre I work at. But I fear it might get flagkilled too. (ah doesn't matter anyway, I'm sure the average HNer is smart enough to make their own selection, and currently looking at my selection, some of the tools seem a bit out-of-date, wouldn't pick those today anymore).


> Everyone calls it "Nye-Nite"

I have never pronounced Ninite as "Nye-Nite" or heard anyone else pronounce it that way in the UK.

I'm guessing you are American?
