You already mentioned most of them. Right now, I can think of four other tools:

http://www.mailinator.net
No signup, instant mail. You don't have to give your real e-mail address away any more every time you register with some unknown website.

http://www.changenotes.com
Watches the web pages that interest you and notifies you by email when they change.

http://www.bugmenot.com
Bypass Compulsory Web Registration

http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de
Very comprehensive German dictionary, including synonyms. Includes SOAP web services :-).

http://www.lipsum.com/
A very useful Lorem Ipsum generator, providing text in words, paragraphs, lists or bytes. Unlike some sites, the text generated is clean and free of obscenties. A comfort when creating sample pages for clients. This site also provides information on the history of Lorem Ipsum text.

http://www.whatismyip.com/
This is a handy, clutter free site which will immediately provide the IP address of the machine from which you access it. Can be a big timesaver.

Here are two tools of mine ;-)

http://web-sniffer.net/
A tool to show generated HTTP headers and contents of a webserver.

http://www.ego4u.de/de/dictionary
In addition to Leo I'd like to mention our English-German dictionary – with lesser words (130.000) but a clearer interface and an option to view IPA pronunciation. You can also access the dictionary via Firefox.

babelfish from altavista just uses the technology from SYSTRAN. Google translate (http://translate.google.com/translate_t) also licenses from SYSTRAN. so in theory, there's no difference except a cooler name from altavista referencing the mother of all sci-fi comedies.

i like http://www.ChangeNotes.com – a free service that monitors the web pages that interest you and sends you email when they change.

For understanding what acronyms mean, I use the http://www.AcronymFinder.com website.

I use http://www.FreeTranslation.com for machine translation – their results are usually better than Systran.

When machine translation isn't good enough, I use their http://www.Click2Translate.com website to translate whole documents.

And http://www.DevGuru.com is a great reference for web / software developers.

[Updated name from "Tony" to "Tony Ruscoe". This was actually my first post, self-promoting some sites I was working on at the time (the middle two anyway) – Tony]
