The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (of Webpages)


First, the Good:
These are pages which look nice, are easily navigable, have worthy content, an N16 rating, and quickly loaded.

The Linux.org Web Page
A Nicely done page which is the gateway to reality (that is, REAL computing!)

SlashDot Web Page
The self-proclaimed news center for Nerds. This is one way we all seem to know what the hell we are talking about

TechStore Web Page
This webpage allows users to purchase many a computing item. With online stock availability, great pictures of the items, and huge selectiong, this is the place to shop. Ok, ok, so that has nothing to do with web development, it is still cool.

PriceWatch.com
This web site lets us nerds find the very best price for all our hardware needs. If God needed a new motherboard, he would go to PriceWatch for the best prices.

Distributed.net
This website is amazing for many reasons, mainly for the good purpose it is there for, to test encryption algorithms by brute force cracking them using personal computers (volunteers) from around the world. What makes this amazing is the fact that it keeps statistics of how well your own computer is crunching, as well as the entire network of distributed computers. Nice graphs are also a plus.



Now, the Bad and the Ugly
Neil Diamond Band Page
Ok, I love the guy, but this tribute site is absolutely horrible. It does the poor man no justice. I feel like rming the page

Fuzzy Martian's Web Page
Besides the fact that this lady has way too much time on her hands (as if I don't -- keep in mind, I was LOOKING for a site like this -- for this class, of course), she doesn't seem to keep up with her pages, as one can see, or, as of the last time I accessed this page, there are broken links galore, mainly to images. The only thing this lady has going for her is her apparent interest in Star Trek and Dilbert. God have mercy on her.

The Top 5% of Web Sites
Ok, ok, so this web page was intentionally designed to be as annoying as possible, but it sure does give tips on how to avoid annoying web visitors.

Bob's Wonderful Homepage
First of all, Bob actually claims he has a wonderful homepage. THe title alone would rank this web page as horrible. Not to mention that lovely graphic of his name toward the bottom... Oooh, he made a gradient... And one cannot miss the wonderful background MIDI, the trademark of a wonderful page! LOL Atleast he has been so kind to allow us to hit the "stop" button on the media player applet embedded into the webpage. Well... atleast it is not a terrible song.

Who's Webpage? BOB'S WEBPAGE!!!!!!
Oh yea, he's a pro. Here we visit some other guy. This seems to have some interesting things, well, a lot of things. Except... ORGINIZATION
