Drudge Report is always worth a giggle.

not a newspaper replacement by any means, but for technology links and news, slashdot.org and digg.com are good. Fark.com for other useless stuff. allmusic.com is good if you are searching for bands etc.

Woooh, slow down Einstein! Some of us aren't as sharp as you.

As internet humour goes, I’d give that a solid 5 out of 10, Femmy. Don’t mind the detractors!

Google News for me!

Or BBC News as it has links to so many other sites with each report.
Unison.ie has lots of Indo group papers, register for free. I wouldn't visit it only The Irish times costs money

Also, I think the Chicago Tribune is free once you register, same with the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal as far as I remember (been a while since I visited).

Despite the silliness of Femmy's suggestion, the other fora on boards are quite good for news in Ireland

BBC.co.uk is still the largest internet site in the world I believe.
If you're into computers, www.theregister.com and www.slashdort.org are the best.
Generally, just go to the websites of the newspapers themselves...

ROFL

Ruu just told you where it is, and exactly how to get there. And you're too lazy to go do it yourself?

When i saw the URL on that i could've sworm it said Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat. I was expecting fanfics and/or horrible horrible cosplaying.

http://www.gutenberg.org/ tbh

I have a dvd with every one of those books. Read the linked novel. It is good.

lol - niiiice - good call. I also hate those predictable lame jokes. It's almost as bad as "Hey, where's Atari Jaguar?" when someone starts a poll.

Er, it should be slashdot.org...slashdort is only useful if you can read Russian.

TomCo · 23-07-2006 12:24PM

Or if you're from D4.
