WordNerdFilter: Help me figure out what word my friend is thinking of! The word starts with "v" and you would use it to to describe, say, how you deal with a store that is not giving you what you want. None of us can figure out what the word is, and it's driving me crazy!

Web filter filter: I seem to remember a link to an NYT article that just contained the full text of the article in nice big letters, with no graphics, banners, or ads. It was fully attributed, with links to the original, but it was much more pleasant to read, especially for a long article. Is there a website that will filter out the clutter and provide links that can be forwarded?

Help me try and figure out how many times my podcast is being downloaded. I have requests, unique hosts, bytes downloaded, etc. but while I understand what each mean individually, I'm not sure which to "trust".

I need more tv shows to watch. Specifically, shows which fit the 60 minute drama model. Shows which are best viewed from season one, episode one, and build upon characters and situations.

Do you know of a server-side script for combining RSS feeds, removing duplicates, filtering out items that match keywords, and then generating a new RSS feed as a result?

blogging as a business and taxes - it can't be so difficult! Or can it? The Plan - spouse and I want to start a travel blog (we love to travel and are *good* at it!) as a business. You know, run some google ads, make a little money. Actually, if we make enough to cover our travel, we'll be happy (until the eventual greed kicks in). Soooo... if we're going to make more than $600 here in America, the IRS is going to want it's share. But two can play at that game! We want to take all the deductions we can (home office, website costs and, of course, our travel). It will just be the two of us, no employees. But therein lies the confusion...

"My work here is done." He/she said at the end of every episode, as they walked away to the next challenge... It could have been the A-team, but it's too lonely, or Knightrider but it's too morose; it sounds so familiar, but I cannt find anything about it. I'm starting to think I'm just imagining it, maybe it's a TV show which should have been made, but never was...

Are there uncommon ways to repair a corrupt MySQL table? I have a MySQL database that is experiencing some serious corruption. Using the standard instructions, I have repaired all of the tables but one. No matter how many ways I try those instructions on the ornery table, in all cases either a) nothing happens or b) the data file is emptied, which is, obviously, not the result I want.

I recently migrated from a Windows powered smart phone to HTC G1 running Android. I was able to migrate all my contacts and schedules from Outlook to Google online apps. The only problem is migrating my passwords and accounts database which was running eWallet. eWallet is offered for iPhone but not for Android. The application offers export to a text file but I have no idea what other password management software would support import. Has anyone had to deal with the same problem?

I'm looking for a specific website that had aggregated quite a few links about the current economic crisis. I remember that the background was dark green and it had links to all of This American Life's economy-focused episodes and explanations of the crisis from several other websites. My Goole-fu is failing, please hope me!

Is there a program that will automatically take scans of pages that contain text and images and then extract the images and place them in separate files? Open source would be best.
