Are there any alternatives to The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, commercial or open source?
I don't believe the answer is definitively "no," but I do know that CMU is the most popular pronouncing dictionary in my anecdotal experience. I believe it is open source so if it's missing something, perhaps you could find a way to add it (or request it be added).
Barring that, I would check with the folks at Language Log. They deal a lot with phonetics.
I am searching for something similar, too. Next to it I found http://www.voxforge.org/home/downloads
There is CELEX 2, available from the Linguistic Data Consortium, which contains phonology information and costs $300. The problem is that it's a little dated, and the English dictionary is BE, not AE.
You can use CALLHOME, too, but with $2250 it's more more expensive than CELEX.
forvo.com. Free and open.
I found DictionaryForMIDs and desktionary. I haven't used either but both are open source.
Checkout Merriam-Webster for things like this:

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 have read about 1/3 of the GNU Make manual, do you guys know of any resources to really learn the Art of using Make.
Ideally, there might be some examples where two ways of doing something are possible, and the author explains which method he chose and why.
I am primarily using Make not to build C/C++ programs but to operate a processing pipeline for data analysis.
Managing Projects with GNU Make, by Robert Mecklenburg, is the best I've come across. Plus, it's an O'Reilly Open Book, so O'Reilly gives away free PDFs of it on their website. Read it linearly, and start from the beginning (even if you think you already know the basics of GNU Make).
John Graham-Cumming has written a book called GNU Make Unleashed which looks promising, although I have not read it yet. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/gnu-make-unleashed/2937580 and http://jgc.org/

I am writing a program that needs a list of English words as a source file for it to work. I realise that these source files are available for students writing games such as Hangman or Crossword solvers but I am having trouble locating such a source file and wonder if anyone knows how I can attain one without slowly scraping websites and building up a dictionary manually.
What about /usr/share/dict/words on any Unix system? How many words are we talking about? Like OED-Unabridged?
For an English dictionary .txt file, you can use Custom Dictionary.
You can also generate a list aspell or wordlist with own settings.
Also you can take a look at http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
Only english words: http://www.math.sjsu.edu/~foster/dictionary.txt
Also take a look at:
http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
http://www.math.sjsu.edu/~foster/dictionary.txt
350,000 words
Very late, but might be useful for others.
There's also WordNet. Its data files format are well-documented.
I used it for building an embeddable dictionary library for iOS developers (www.lexicontext.com) and also in one of my apps.
#Future-searchers: you can use aspell to do the dictionary checks, it has bindings in ruby and python. It would make your job much simpler.

Is there a free source with basic yellow pages data(name,address, phone#)? I don't mind if its out of date. I couldn't find anything with google. To clarify I'm looking for a data dump, I know I can just go to yellow pages.com or whatever for regular queries. As a last resort I'll probably scrape it.
This sort of data tends to be very expensive, so you're unlikely to find anyone offering a free directory. If they are it will probably be horribly out of date or have many duplicates.
In my previous job the company was looking at business directories - the main stumbling block was the cost of good, clean data.
Yeah, I'd recommend something like Yellabot.com and get the GOLD version if you can and automate scraping the data. I don't know of anywhere that is going to give that data out for free but if you're willing to pay for it, I'm sure there are companies that would sell the whole shebang for 10's of 1000's of dollars. If you do find it though, let me know, lol.

I would like to have the same editor available on all of the platforms I frequent.
Emacs and Vi are not desired solutions.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/edt-text-editor/
There is nu/TPU which is more like EVE/TPU, and also JED, I've never found anything better than either of these.
I used to be the world's biggest fan of VMS and EVE/EDT/TPU - you're probably going to -1 me for saying this but why not get edt mode for emacs. There is a lot to be said for emacs in terms of speed and facilities and it is worth taking the time to learn enough to turn it into your editor of choice, which I think is why us folks who like emacs like it - because we can customise it to do what we want...
Currently I'm using Xemacs - customised to my keystrokes some of which came from EDT.
