I found a lot. But which one is the best? And why? I didn't find yet anything really complete and centralized in one good article or documentation. At least a good book? Thanks.
Our (Riptano's) Cassandra documentation is probably the best one-stop resource: http://www.riptano.com/docs
A good complement from the ASF wiki is http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArticlesAndPresentations.
The Cassandra High Performance Cookbook is the most recent book. It has a how-to format but along the way documents many of the features.

Is there any reason that I absolutely should not write my own delta compression library (in C)? I'm working on proprietary project and cannot include any GPL'd code (and most others in fact).Being not an expert in binary data compression, I'm wondering if I do go this way, where should I start? All data involved is highly patterned binary with roughly the same length (~100K).
Sorry for the rather vague question.. Thanks in advance for any insight
Zlib is freely available and reusable, even in proprietary software. (Here is the license.) There is no reason to try and recreate it.

Is there any easy resource available online or a book which would allow a complete newbie how the database normalization process works and what one should do to perform the transformations on a given database leading it from 1NF to 5NF through all the in-between?
From my research, it seems that the Wikipedia article seems to be the closest to what I'm looking for but is there anything even easier?
This highly depends upon your taste. But I have found that the course in class2go offered by Stanford is quite good. It has a fairly good explanation of normalization up until NF4. For a complete newbie I think this would be quite useful.
You have to sign up but the material is supposed to be there:

Also have you seen this?

Does anyone know of a good web-based GUI I could use for database design? It is going painfully slow in Photoshop.
You can use MySQL Workbench to do this. There are many web-based apps as well. http://wb.mysql.com/
Try this web-based designer
Just had occasion to use this earlier today: http://www.dbvis.com/
Java/uses JDBC drivers so widely compatible
Produces reasonably pretty relationship diagrams
The free version is still pretty capable, and the cost is eminently reasonable
EDIT: Ah, not web-based, but...somethings you really can't fit into that box very well.

Looking for an open-source Thesaurus dataset which contains as many English root words and synonyms as possible. Any solutions and associated links to data would be appreciated.
Thanks to Grady Ward for releasing http://icon.shef.ac.uk/Moby/ in the public domain ;)

Also, OpenOffice.org has a thesaurus and is open source. You should be able to use their thesaurus database at least in another open source project.
Check WordNet: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/
Take a look at this forum post at digitalpoint.
Take a look at previous question here Need a thesaurus database
Note: A simple Google search reveals a lot of links.

This can be community wiki.
I'm looking for a simple, multi-platform, free database browser (ODBC,etc). This is for those times when I want to interface with a database, and just need a simple way to quickly see what the heck is in it. Doesn't need to support any vendor-specific features.
Too much junk out there and I don't want to play with these things all day. What do you use?
I like SqlDbx - the personal edition is free. It supports most of the major databases, and the built in intellisense is useful for queries.
Dbvisualizer has a free version http://www.dbvis.com/products/dbvis/download/
