Super User - question and answer site for power users
Software gurus Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood released Stack Overflow last year, a site for software developers to pose questions and help each other out with answers. Since then they've been busy putting together more sites on the same engine. They now have what they are (just for fun) calling their "Stack Overflow trilogy": Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and Super User.
Since we already know what Stack Overflow is all about, let's have a quick look at Server Fault and Super User.
Server FaultServer Fault is a question and answer site for system administrators. It's the place to go if you need help with networks, servers, or managing many user's PCs. Typical topics include configuring mail servers, Active Directory, routing, and network security.

They're the people out there that are not necessarily programmers, not necessarily network administrators, but still know how to make their computer system bend to their will, and if they don't know something, they can eventually figure it out. Super User might make the job of figuring out your next problem a little easier, since it allows you to browse a huge database of questions, and pose your own questions that other power users can answer.
Since Super User only released to the public yesterday, it's still pretty fresh and just getting going. But I suspect it serves a very large market that is hungry for a solution like this, and it will grow very quickly.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
