eek, i hate that you leave out search engines :P
google is the primary key of learning things (or finding things to learn)
and hopefully you find good articles and not ones written by wannabe programmers
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

I left out search engines because google would most likely be on top of everyones list (And it prob. should be) I was looking for sites that people use on a regular basis. For instance, if I have a DNS issue I will look on http://www.dnsstuff.com before I go to google. Same thing with CSS and http://www.devguru.com or MySql and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/functions.html

Its less that its a high opinion, and more that it is more widely available. By way of comparison, I've been looking for a new webhost, and adding "Postgresql included" has reduced my choices by a factor of five.

How about these?
  1. A List Apart
  2. The CodingForums
  3. Photoshop Techniques Forum
  4. Photoshop Forums
I use these a lot less frequently that DevNet, but I still use them now and again.
