I've just discovered WeatherSpark. Looks neat, and there are tons of weather info there actually.
However, the question is, how accurate are the forecasts for my region?
Your Best Free Online Download Manager - KeepVid - does not seem to be really free. I visited the site today hoping to download it when I noticed it says that one will need to purchase a licence before one can start using it; only the downloading seems to be free.
You're spot on Rajendra Rai. The program for Windows is not free, but it's totally free when you use its online download service without needing to install the program.
This article focuses on the online applications and services. With them, you don't need to download and install anything into your computer for using them—you just need to open up a browser and access them online.
http://www.yourdictionary.com/
This is the best online dictionary for me. It's uncluttered, clean and most importantly provide meanings that can be understood by any layman.
After trying typingstudy (in the speedtest department) I have found that some of the material don't work.
With some searching I've found that typeonline.co.uk is a fairly good ONLINE typing tutor. It simulates word processing in a more "natural" manner, allowing you to back-track and make corrections in your typing. Most other typing tutors don't allow you to do that once you hit the spacebar after typing a word.
One other thing I like about typeonline.co.uk is that I don't have to worry about cookies (I use Sandboxie FREE anyway) - something I try to minimise as much as possible. [This is why I haven't tried typingweb after reading their policy.]
Users in the USA will have to put up with the UK spelling of some words though - a small fee I think.
All in all, the most comprehensive typing tutor IMHO is Kiran's Typing Tutor. It's only drawback is it's not "online" meaning you have to sacrafice a bit of hard drive space.
Hello!

I use to be a Gizmo member years ago until you partnered up with another organization. I loved your newsletters and so did miss them. I could not believe my luck when I came across your website. And from what I have seen so far you appear to be holding to your high standards. A true admirier of your dedication.
Here is a free pasting tool http://www.pasteit.in for debugging the code, similar to any other pastebin website but has support for all major languages syntax. The diff tool lets the programmer/debugger see what changes other user has made in the original code.
This may sound pretty self-centered of me, but have you guys tried Bob? It will fit perfectly under the education section of this site. It is a new site where students can go and ask for help or provide help to other students. But because it is new (less then a month old), there isn't much content on it yet.Stating that, it has had a promising start in my school. It's URL is [edited out]
The site has no content at all, and therefore won't be considered for inclusion here. Sorry.
Okay, I understand. I would just like you guys to keep it in mind, for when it has content. It is just a start up project. Thanks anyways.
Regarding the best PC Games catagory, I'd like to suggest you check out Kongregate,com. Ad-free, hundreds of games with badges and points awarded on many games. It's the best I've seen yet!
Wow!! What an awesome list. Thanks so much for all your time and hard work in putting this together. Much appreciated.
