I'm looking for non-US alternatives to a range of popular websites. Real, developed and hosted somewhere else type sites, not just a regional re-branding on the same US server.

I'm mostly after tech news sites, but also a search engine would be nice. Does anyone have a pointer to any indexes of websites that display lists based on country? Preferably in English. Feel free to just dump your bookmark list if you've got a nice collection.

Slashdot is a hellhole. Can anyone recommend any decent and at least semipopular tech news sites with insightful comments, and ones that won't ban my ip after two unjust downmods?

I'm looking for some good, general tech news sites...something like Wired used to be before they were bought out. Any ideas?
