The article outlines the very best of the best of the web in the following categories: Archaeology & Paleontology, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth & Environment, Engineering and Technology, Mathematics, Medicine and Physics. Sadly, Slashdot isn't on the list, but some great sites are. It's worth checking out."

  1. Wayback Machine by entrager · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They gave the Internet Archive an award. Interesting idea, but I feel not really award worthy. Although the Wayback Machine is really neat.

    The oldest archived version of /. is interesting. December 21, 1997. My favorite headlines:

    1) Linux 2.1.74 Released
    2) Judge Uninstalls IE in 90 seconds
    3) The poll: I would see Titanic just to see a Prequel Trailer (Yes/No/What are you talking about?)

    Just goes to show how long this Microsoft crap has been going on...

    Shame they haven't added a category for general science education for kids.

    I grew up at a great time to be a science nerd, I remember fondly the Time-Life Science Books, newspaper articles and television coverage of the Apollo missions, playing with a chemistry set...

    I'm not sure what science kids resources on the net will live up to those standards. A couple that I like are Nine Planets and Science Toys you can make with Your Kids, anybody got any others?
