Title: Man, I love howstuffworks.com
Post by: Ishmael on Wed 25/08/2004 18:57:38
http://www.howstuffworks.com

Should be pretty self-explaining, but for those who aren't on the mood to use their brain, or just don't get it, it's a sit full of descriptions about how diffrent things work.

Fore example, they tell you how to pick locks, how machine guns fire at that rate, how do to build a nuke (well, almost) and so on... it's great stuff.

Some ofcource know the site, but for those who don't...

Yeah, that site is great.

If you're really into online resources, check out this post (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread74106/pg1) at a science forum I recently found. It has a listing of loads of stuff, and I found out that MIT publishes their courses online because of it.

The internet makes learning or wasting time easy, depending on what you're most interested in. ;)

Yeah, howstuffworks is great. My "high school" computing teacher told us to use it whenever we had something technical we were unsure of. Great stuff.
