OFFICIAL (hopeful) LINK THREAD
We're all (hopefully) very interested in topics other than basketball. That interest (hopefully) has gleaned us some expertise in those particular areas. We all (hopefully) utilize certain interweb resources to keep up with our favorite hobbies/diversions/skills/vocations.
So...
What are the links you find most useful in your life? What websites help you do what you do best? We want to know what you know ("we totally want to be as cool as you"), and it would (hopefully) be useful to have an expert available to guide our studies.
So.....Share with the group. (Hopefully) everybody can learn something. It doesn't matter what the subject is. Just share. However....
Rule 1: Sports is out. (We do not want to harm RealGM in any way.)
Rule 2: Ditto porn. (Though I'm sure we all have expertise.)
Rule 3: Ditto politics.
So.....whaddaya got? Link us up, folks. Lets learn from each other, in honor of the interweb founder's intents. We want to know how to learn what you know.
**Edit: (Mods, I was/am unable to ask permission to start this thread. But I tried. Honest, I did. But I couldn't PM any of you to ask permission beforehand. If the thread needs to be killed, please do so. But this is (hopefully) still the offseason. I simply thought (hopefully) it would be fun to learn something (hopefully) from other RealGM posters.

Because you mentioned Bill Hicks, you are now officially my new hero. Congratulations Ribalding, and remember to always POST WITH YOUR FU$#*NG HEART!
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

You already use adaware or spybot to scan for malware, right? Well, Hitman Pro scans your system for malware using not one, not two, but eight different anti-malware applications.

Yeah, don't run it while you're using the computer. Set it to run, and walk away.

I guess you didn't hear about the big scandal gamespot was involved with last year....
Apparently, they fired one of their editors / reviewers (Jeff Gerstmann) because he gave Kane & Lynch a bad score. Why would this matter? The publisher of Kane & Lynch had just given the site a huge advertising contract. When the score came out, the company demanded that the review be changed. Words were apparently exchanged, and the dude was fired.
When this story leaked, the game nerd forums were alight. It became clear that the reviews on Gamespot weren't worth s**t; you could buy a good score.
To read about this online, just do a google search for "Jeff Gerstmann". He's the guy that was fired.

Secunia PSI scans your system and makes sure that all of your applications are patched and up to date. If there's a program out of date, it will provide a link directly to the updater. This saves you the trouble of having to visit the website of each program.

EDIT: Don't forget to prevent it from starting up with windows. There's no reason why this should be running all the time.

Sigh. I have never been able to figure out how to reconcile the fact that he owns the Mavs with how much I like most of what he writes in his blog. His financial commentary lately has been awesome.

Say you're shopping on Amazon and you're $2.99 short of qualifying for the free shipping that kicks in at $25. What to do?
Here's where the Amazon Filler Item Finder comes in. Give it a price, and it will search for items within categories that you specify to help you reach that $25 goal.
