Websites of Knowledge?

Posted by Cliff on from the online-references dept.

AvantLegion asks: "Every now and then, I stumble upon a website that is just a veritable tome of knowledge - be it of a certain theme (like Snopes.com) or more general information (Everything2.com). Free documentation databases are invaluable, but rarely seem to come up very early in Google searches. What websites out there do you consider to be indispensable sources of knowledge? (save the obvious Slashdot jokes). Where do you look up information besides combing through search engine results?"

    Where do you look up information besides combing through search engine results?

    There are these sources I can find without too much difficulty. Usually access is pretty easy. The interface is bit clumsy, but familiar enough to be user friendly. The great thing is that they are permamently static. They are totally unhackable, too. The page design is nice and simple -- no dumb "navigation" graphics. You don't even need to be logged in. I use those sources a lot.
