15 Ridiculously Useful Websites

Web MD

Provides a reference for anyone looking to diagnose his or her symptoms or research medical issues. It is a good place to visit before making that, oh so expensive, trip to the doctor.

E-How

A reference site for just about everything else. Want to k now how to wax snow skis? Make pizza dough? Install a bathtub? This is the place.

Bartleby

One of the better academic research websites I've come across.

How Stuff Works

A very cool website that contains explanations of those mysteries in life that you just can't figure out. A few examples are Murphy's Law, Pickpockets, and Light Sabers (Yes, light sabers).

Seriously, the coolest music-related site I've seen. You choose the mood, intensity, and genres of the music you would like to hear and the site will provide you with a virtual web of music to explore. The web evolves with each choice you make. You can click on any song in the web at anytime.

Ultimate Guide to the Invisible Web

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 17:12:09 GMT

clipped by: cabrown

Clip Source: oedb.org

When you use a search engine on the Internet and can't find what you're looking for, what do you do? Maybe you're seeking to learn something, which means you're probably going to keep trying until you find it. Or give up in frustration. Don't give up that easily. There's information out there that is actually not indexed in the big search engines. Such Web pages are part of what's called the Dark, Deep, Hidden or Invisible Web. Those pages that are actually indexed are known by some as the surface Web. Fortunately, the invisible Web is getting easier to search, with tools beyond the standard big three search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

How to access blocked websites - Top 10

clipper's remarks: see site for the rest

Clip Source: www.webstuffscan.com

1. Use IP address - This is the simplest way to bypass domain name based access restrictions. Instead of the domain name such as www.webstuffscan.com use the direct IP address. To find the IP address use one of the free host to IP online conversion tools such as this.

2. Use Google cache - If you are not bothered whether the content is latest on a site, Google cache is best. Do a Google search for the site and then click on the cached link below the search results.

3. Use an Anonymizer - In this method you access a third party site which in turn routes your request to the required server. Some services provide URL encryption also. The problem is that most of these servers are no longer free. Do a google search for the latest list as this is a very dynamic area Following are some services which still works(free!),

Proxify - Hides original URL and provides an array of access of options. The is one of the best free servers.
Block Stop - New guy in the town!
Anonymouse - This works, but URL is visible and hence may be blocked by the filtering software.

4. Use Online Translation Tools - In this method, we can use the translation service as a web proxy. Following are the best links I know of. Again Google is your best friend for more resources.

Altavista Babel fish - In the above replace www.webstuffscan.com with the site you want. You can also visit Babel fish site.
Google Translate - Similar to Babel fish.

5. Use Google Mobile search - Google mobile search works, but output may not be optimal. This is very similar to using a Web proxy.

6. Use a public Proxy server - There are many free proxy servers out in the Web. Note that in order to use these you have to change internet connection settings in Internet Explorer or whatever browser you use. This is one such list.

7. Get web pages via email - This is useful if you need a single Web page. Obviously accessing large files is not possible. Given below are some examples.

The Largest Web Page In The World

[I'm out, by the way. Normal service will be resumed shortly.]

The largest web page in the world is 9 quadrillion pixels wide by 9 quadrillion pixels tall. It's designed to give you a bit of an idea of the size of the solar system. Try scrolling across it using your wheel mouse ;-)

Apparently, only Firefox can cope with it properly :-)

The Internet is as cyclical as it is expansive. Boom, burst, bust, repeat. And yet some Web sites seem to operate outside the fray, delivering a consistent user experience and gradually evolving instead of flaring up or flaming out. Here at PC Magazine, we call these Web sites the classics both because they tend to be established destinations and because they set the standards for the rest of the Web.

Here is our canon of the top 101 classics for 2006, humbly submitted for you perusal. You've probably heard of many or even most of them, but it's our hope that all of our readers will find something new or rediscover a forgotten favorite on the list.
