I was given the task to create statistical reports and integrate them to an asp.net application (Webforms) connected to a MySQL DB.
I was looking at this question. However, the accepted answer is about SQL Reporting Services (I am using MySQL), and the most voted answer lists different tools (Crystal, ActiveReports, XtraReports Telerik, Versareports) but suggests they are all evolving and it was in 2009.
So, what options do I have at the present? Which one would you recommend me? Why?

If you want the quick and dirty, easy to use, and fairly flexible option, then ActiveReports still gets my vote. The most extensive is Crystal, but you have to really need the extra bang to warrant it's use, at least IMO. Telerik fits in between (if you are really familiar with their other UI controls, it is not a bad option, however, as the learning curve is greatly shortened).

Do anybody know about a github repo with a full well organized data science project? Preferable in Python. My hobby project often get mezzy with a mix of Python code and notesbook. A worked out project is the best way to learn some new tricks.
Data Science is regarded a bit differently by different people, so you might consider focusing on what exactly you wish to learn.
But, take a look at those:
https://github.com/bulutyazilim/awesome-datascience
https://www.kaggle.com/
The first one contains lots of relevant sources of information. The second is originally a competition site with varied different problems in ML, but also contains past competitions (and datasets). They added a cool feature called "kernels" which are just code files people publish and you could learn from those.

I'd like to test functionality that's based upon rvest. Are there any websites that are explicitly designed for testing Web Scaping apps, i.e. websites whose structure does not change?
This question is a bit off-topic really, but I'll answer anyway. I just googled for a few things, found this:
http://scraping.pro/web-scraper-test-drive/
which has its test pages here:
http://testing-ground.scraping.pro/
although I think this would make a nice project containing the test cases and the correct results in a form that could be used in any language's test framework...
I'm sure there's other things beyond the first google hit, which you should have done anyway.

I want to make a Vocabulary Trainer and I was thinking about the best way to do it. First I searched some translation APIs to use, to avoid having to build my own dictionary, but I found that most of them are paid and some are free but have limitations.
So, I think the best way is to make my own dictionary, which also allow me to work offline, but I wonder if there is any free database of English-Spanish words to avoid starting from scratch.
Do you know any?
Thanks a lot!
You could try http://www.omegawiki.org/ as they claim this:
The aim of our project is to create a dictionary of all words of all languages, including lexical, terminological and ontological information. Our data is available in a relational database, as a result it is possible to use the data for many purposes.

I had a colleague who is using Xilinx's LocalLink TEMAC
While I find the DS interesting, I would like to learn more about the basics of it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good low-level intro to networking/ethernet book?
I don't need to know "how to be a good network administrator", but rather interfaces like the MII, GMII, and how they communicate with different PHYs that are on the market. My questions that I'd like to learn about are similar to:
What is ethernet?
How are packets structured?
What is a preamble and how is it used?
What is a frame?
I'd also be interested in online sites if it's really much easier to learn from in your opinion. If there is a book series, I would be open to that as well.
One of the best networking books I've found is "The TCP/IP Guide: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Internet Protocols Reference" http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Guide-Comprehensive-Illustrated-Protocols/dp/159327047X/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1312296674&sr=8-5. The only thing this doesn't cover in great detail is the actual layer 1 stuff. Well even then it goes over some basic details, but the book is excellent for most anything you need to know regarding networks, packets, headers, etc....

Anyone who's tried to study mathematics using online resources will have come across these Java applets that demonstrate a particular mathematical idea. Examples:
http://www.math.ucla.edu/~tao/java/Mobius.html
http://www.mathcs.org/java/programs/FFT/index.html
I love the idea of this interactive approach because I believe it is very helpful in conveying mathematical principles.
I'd like to create a system for visually designing and publishing these 'mathlets' such that they can be created by teachers with little programming experience.
So in order to create this app, i'll need a GUI and a 'math engine'. I'll probably be working with .NET because thats what I know best and i'd like to start experimenting with F#. Silverlight appeals to me as a presentation framework for this project (im not worried about interoperability right now).
So my questions are:
does anything like this exist already in full form?
are there any GUI frameworks for displaying mathematical objects such as graphs & equations?
are there decent open source libraries that exposes a mathematical framework (Math.NET looks good, just wondering if there is anything else out there)
is there any existing work on taking mathematical models/demos built with maple/matlab/octave/mathematica etc and publishing them to the web?
You might want to look at Wolfram demonstrations, and at the mathematica web player. This lets you take a Mathematica file and run it from a browser, and the demonstrations site already has thousands of demonstrations.
