We clearly all hold a special place in our hearts for NSG (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1227). What other sites do people find useful, funny, insightful, etc., etc.?

Here's my list:

Google (http://www.google.com)-In addition to being a superb search engine, Google makes great maps, blogs, email, basically anything it beats Microsoft to.
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)-The most reliable single source of information on the Web (not that that is saying much).
alphaDictionary (http://www.alphadictionary.com/index.shtml)-Good, clean, linguistic fun.
International Music Score Library Project (http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page)-It has lots of music scores, including some whose copyright hasn't expired in the US. Sketchy.*
Pandora (http://www.pandora.com)-There are probably better internet radios, but this one's pretty good. If you have it on a different tab, you don't even have to look at the ads.


What about you?

EDIT: I should probably add: don't advertise sites. I'm not sure what this entails, but probably any competitor of NationStates is a no-no.

Wow, that's so...offensive. I haven't been able to determine if it's funny or not, I'm still kind of in awe.

Any Lastmeasure mirror.

Also, Goatse.cx...not any Goatse site, the original Goatse.cx as posted in 1999. Accept no substitutes for the original shock website.

".cx" is the domain code for Christmas Island.
I don't know the exact population, but a large percentage is clearly sick in the head.

Actually, it stems from the creation of the Christmas Island domain; for a while, the island was offering free domain name registration to encourage the development of an internet infrastructure on the island.

Naturally, the internets took advantage of this and someone registered goatse.cx in 1999.

And from there, the story of "Eh", "Woah", alt text "stinger", "hello.jpg" and "giver.jpg" was born...
