I really like www.Dictionary.com, www.Thesaurus.com and www.Answers.com.
"Answers" is especially neat, because you can type any question into the search box, and it'll offer you a dozen or more relevant articles, most of them vetted by professionals in the field and much more accurate than wikipedia.
Oh, yes, and then there is www.FreeRice.com, which is not so much a resource as a worthwhile time-waster and a way to learn new words while donating rice to the U.N.
