Good Nerd Websites
Allright, I'll start by admitting there is a large self-interest in what comes from this. I need good nerd sites that I can surf at work (while I'm bored). If it's a nerd site, they won't care if I'm reading up on the latest kernel release or whatever. So... what are some good computer nerd sites you visit? Here's the couple I look at now...
News: Slashdot OSNews Software (note: not individual software sites, but sites that keep track of many differnet programs): Freshmeat Gentoo Packages Site Gear: ThinkGeek Any other good ones I'm completely missing out on? :) |
www.sourceforge.net
Similar to Freshmeat. |

Gotta keep up with the cheap, on sale shit! www.xoxide.com More hardware, mostly cases and shit, really good sales on modding supplies! |
Starship Dimensions is a good site you can waste on hour on. If you run it on IE, you can drag scale models of various objects from various sci-fi continuities (including Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Robotech, Farscape, and various novels and video games). Lots of fun!

www.osdn.com (newletter-based)

pricewatch.com - any piece of hardware or software I buy comes thorugh pricewatch. Security: www.cert.org and humor from www.userfriendly.org :) |

Tech IMO Is one site I frequent, lots of good information on there.
|
It's kinda simple, but Lockergnome.com's got some good stuff. RSS feeds make it quick to weed out the newbie stuff.
|
There are those who are amused by Acts of Gord. It tells of the true and surprising antics of a video game store owner...
|
For some humor, don't forget the following sites:
The chronicles of george http://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com/ Computer stupidities http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/ |
