- Words
- Dictionary.com - This is another dictionary site that also has a thesaurus feature.
- TextFiles - A massive resource for "old school" or "classical" t-files plus some recent ones. This is a window into the history of text files of yesterday. If you don't know what I mean by t-file, text file, etc., or you want to view the past of modeming, then check this out! I wish I had done something like this when I thought about it in the past. When I read things from here, I get nostalgic (awww!) and start to feel old. Crimeny!
- News
- Slashdot - "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." Too bad they advocate Linux more than anything instead of remaining neutral, and can't seem to keep the site up for more than five minutes at a time... but it does have some "stuff that matters."

site exists to show you why Microsoft is Bad(tm) and what alternatives exist

Linux slant to the whole site (which sucks), but it does have a bit of
advocacy to other OS's such as BeOS, BSD, and OS/X which is fairly cool.

manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware.

add it fairly quickly.
