Kasuto's Bookmarks

This is a list of sites in my Favorites list that I visit frequently. Some are useful, and others are just for fun. Some are just plain weird.

00inkjets - Are you tired of paying upwards of $30 to replace your inkjet cartridge? This site has cartridges for dozens of printers at a cost far below anything you'll find at the store. This is so much better than using those messy inkjet refill kits.

Altavista Translation Service - A very handy tool for quick translation of simple text or a webpage. This uses computer translation, so it's not very accurate, but it gets the job done. But don't try to use this to type a Spanish paper or something, it's not that good. It translates between English and Spanish, French, Italian, Portugese, German, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.

Arabic English Dictionary - Most of you probably have no need for this, but I take Arabic in college so I thought I'd put this one up. It's actually a very good dictionary. But you won't be able to understand it unless you can read the Arabic alphabet.

Astalavista Crack Search Engine - I'll warn you right now that using the stuff on this page is illegal. But odds are, nobody will ever catch you. Have you ever downloaded a demo or trial version of a program that stopped working after a certain number of days? This page lists "cracks" which register shareware programs so you can use them as much as you want. Very handy for people who have no money but want lots of software.

Babel Site - Has a whole bunch of small grammar tutorials for many languages, including: Occitan, Catalan, French, Italian, Portugese, German, Hebrew, Turkish, and Japanese.

Bad Candy - If you're a candy connoissuer, this site will tell you which candies to avoid. It is dedicated solely to warning people about the worst candy in the world. I've never tried any of the candies personally, so I'm not sure how bad they really are. I'll take these guys' word for it.

Calc101.com - Lots of tutorials about the scourge of college students: Calculus. It also has links to other math-related sites.

Ciber-Lexico Comparativo - A list of common computer terms in Spanish. I found this very handy when writing papers about computers in my Spanish class.

Dave Barry - An archive of hilarious columns written by the left-handed humor columnist Dave Barry. I highly recommend this site.

Download.com - Contains thousands of shareware programs that will do just about anything. Combined with the cracking site listed above, it's really a motherlode of free software.

Half.com - Run by eBay, this place sells many items for cheap prices. Much of the stuff here is used. It's a great place to find cheap textbooks for the college-bound. You can also sell your books here and get a lot more money back than the school bookstore.

Hindi Script Tutor - I am studying the Hindi-Urdu language, and this is an excellent page for beginners to help them learn the Devanagari script. It shows how to write each letter, and even pronounces it for you in male and female voices. This is a life saver for my Hindi class.

The Integrator - This is a great help for those unlucky people who take calculus. This site has a mathematical applet that will solve any integral you throw at it, even ones that aren't elementary functions.

Japanese/English Dictionary - This is the best online dictionary for Japanese that'll you'll ever find. It's better than published dictionaries. You can look up words and see them spelled in Romaji (our alphabet) and you can even get the Japanese Kanji spelling. This is great for those who want to learn Japanese.

The Javascript Source - Has hundreds of free Javascripts to spice up your web page. I've used many of these on Kasuto.net.

Merriam-Webster - An online version of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate dictionary.

The Onion - The self-proclaimed "World's Finest News Source". This site is the headquarters for the very hilarious sattirical newspaper, The Onion. I really love the articles here. They're great for a good laugh.

Price Watch - Want to find computer components at the cheapest possible price? This site gives listings for all sorts of stuff like graphics cards, monitors, hard drives, etc. I've saved hundreds of dollars using this site as a guide. You must go to this site if you plan on upgrading your computer.

The Screen Savers - This is the website of a show aired on TechTV. It's basically a site for the complete computer nerd. Trust me, you'll love it.

The Straight Dope - Ever had a weird question that you didn't know the answer to? This site is the archive for columnist Cecil Adams, who answers question that people send in. Nothing is taboo here, everything from "Why is the sky blue?" to outrageous questions like "What is the calorie content of ...?" trust me, you don't want to know what that question was.
