I chose computer security:

Onlware malware scans (these two sites are useful if you think something might be a virus. The sites scan your uploaded file with many different scanners.)

These two sites are useful if you need help on a security issue:

1. My favorite weather site

http://usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?model=eta&Submit=Change+Source&state=CO&sta=KAPA

3. Refugee Advocacy

THE site to go to is

This organization said it would be wrong to go to war in Iraq, and is unafraid to make political stances as needed.

<snip>
Masquerading as impartial researchers, right-wing "think tanks" like The Heritage Foundation and The Family Research Council disseminate misinformation, distortions, and blatant lies about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to policy makers, the news media, and the American public. They have used their so-called findings to oppose the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, adoption and parenting rights, domestic partnership benefits, same-sex marriage, and gays in the military. It is vital that we produce the unbiased, independent research that will counter these lies!

***

Outstanding Research Needs
What are the social, economic and psychological impacts of the challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people?

* What are the costs to society of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity?
* What is the impact of workplace discrimination on both employers and employees?
* How much do domestic partner benefits really cost employers?
* How well are HIV prevention programs working in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities?
* Which educational policies and programs are the most effective in improving the lives of LGBT youth and in reducing homophobia in our schools?
* How well do existing policies and programs work?
* What are the most appropriate and effective laws and policies to address these and other issues of discrimination?
