- Words
- Hypertext Webster Gateway at UCSD - This is what I use when I don't have a dictionary handy and am sitting in front of an internet connected computer. It works well for me and should for you as well.
- 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."
- The Register is a news site from the UK.

- CONvergence is a SciFi / Fantasy convertion held every year in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

- authd - This is
where you can find out about the authd in/out mail ruleset-based filter.
Basicly it, using rules you create, decides which mail is allowed in/out of
your SMTP server. We use it here and like it bunches & lots.

Postfix is a kick-ass SMTP daemon that beats the hell out of Sendmail for
speed and ease of configuration.
- KMFMS - This
site exists to show you why Microsoft is Bad(tm) and what alternatives exist
for those willing to try something other than Windows. There's a bit of a
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.
- Red Hat Linux
is one of the most popular Linux distributions.
- SuSE Linux is
another linux distribution which is pretty nice.

OS/X runs on the Macintosh computers and has BSD as the underlying core
of the OS.

WinGuides.com. You can select the length, combination of letters and
numbers, capitalization, punctuation, and wether or not to also include the
phonetic version of the generated passwords (handy to determine between O
and 0, and for telling the password verbally to someone).
- Anti-Spyware / Anti-Popups / Anti-Virus

privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access,

vistors of the site,

add it fairly quickly.
