I am currently compiling a list of some great websites to visit for different topics and am wondering what everybody here has to say on the subject.

If you want to suggest one please do it in the following order so it makes it easier for me to add them to the list.

Category | Name/Link | Description

A example of how the list will look:

Figured I would add it to this list and grow it from here :D - What rating out of 5 would you give it?

Renegade:
Well, I've got a few here. I don't visit all of them all the time, but some have some mind-blowing information. I'm leaving out a lot, but these are the sites that I probably visit most and that are probably of broader interest to people -- mostly those that are interested in what is going on in the world.

I could post a bunch more, but this is enough. I'm skipping most of the programming stuff because most people here already use the same sites and know them well.

My ratings are all from extensive use of the sites.

News Info WarsExcellent site dedicated to news on what is actually happening in the world.5News Activist PostExcellent site with news across the spectrum. Includes many editorials. Setup as a blog. 5News Russia TodayOne of the best news sites out there. Regularly exposes the complete insanity that has infected the West. RT broadcasts "The World Tomorrow" with Julian Assange.

Windows7 OS

http://www.sevenforums.com/

Forum for Windows7 related topics including subforums for networking, software, customization, hardware etc..  Also has a great Tutorials section.  Many of the topics have downloads with .reg files if the fix or adjustment requires a registry tweak. Tutorials are broken down into categories. Some examples: how to do a clean install when upgrading, clearing Explorer icon cache How to legally install Windows Seven from an iso image using no product key for an evaluation period etc.. As far as the legal issues go, there are many MS MVPs hanging on the forum. If a tutorial says it's legal to install Windows or extend the evaluation period in such and such a circumstance, and the tutorial has been up for any length of time, you can be sure it would have been taken down if there was anything dicey. Not a site that leads you into dubious territory. :)

In short it's the only Windows7 specific site that I visit.

My main gripe about the site is the search tends to search everything even if you are already in the Tutorials section when you initiate the search. To limit the search to Tutorials you need to use Advanced Search and manually remove everything else from the list of forums to search. A minor quibble. But I wish they'd fix it. :)
