Also, don't lube your cube with WD40. That stuff works great for a while, and takes significantly less prep, but it will eventually eat away the plastic insides.

I bought a white DIY cube from ebay. It has screws you can tighten on each side unlike the Rubik's brand now. Also it came with cube lube, although I used to buy a silicone spray to slicken my Rubik's brand cubes.

I'm doing a little video project and I need to find the longest word I can find in this Boggle-like grid layout. The word needs to be legitimate English, but technical words would be okay. My best so far is "TATTERS" but I'm sure the hive-mind can beat that.

I've now pushed my best up to 9 letters - "RESTATERS," which is longer, but I am also interested in the longest root word we can find, that does not rely on prefixes and suffixes to achieve their length. In this category, my best so far is 6 letters for "AERATE."

After taking a dictionary file and doing a little bit of regular expression work with it, here are the standard English words I found made up only of the letters in your puzzle that are as long or longer than TATTERS:
AERATES
ARREARS
ARRESTER
ARRESTS
ASSERTS
ASSESSES
ATTESTS
ERASERS
ESTATES
REASSERT
REASSERTS
REASSESS
RESTART
RESTARTS
RESTATE
RESTATES
RETESTS
RETREAT
RETREATS
SERRATE
SETTEES
SETTERS
STARTER
STARTERS
STREETS
STRESSES
TARTRATE
TASTERS
TATTERS
TEASERS
TESTERS
TRESSES
There aren't very many double-s instances in the puzzle, though, which limits the results quite a bit. You could probably do this with a greatly expanded dictionary and find some more interesting results.
The regular expression is something like:
^[TEARS]+$

Dictionary-based searches give us some good starting points, but most dictionaries available for this kind of filter (ie text-based word lists on a Linux box :-) are limited in their technical and jargon content. While those words might not be allowed in traditional word games, I'm happy to consider those as well.
And of course, my upvote trigger finger is twitchin' for the words that are *actually* on the board - rather than just "might be." :-)

Oh, I thought the OP was referring to changes in meaning, my bad.
But isn't polish pronounced the same as Polish too? Reading as reading, and job as Job? Am I missing something?

no, the 'o' in "polish" is the 'o' in "polly", whereas in "Polish" it's the 'o' in "pole". likewise "job" (same vowel transformation), and Reading is pronounced "redding".

bush, when not capitalized is pronounced exactly like "bush", but when capitalized it is pronounced "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!" like Capt. Kirk in Wrath of Kahn but with extra viper hiss.

This seemed simple, and I'm not sure if my logic is accurate, but I got the right answer.
You will on average enter 3 doors to get the right one. The average wait time per door is 1 day. 3 days.

I had a lot of fun with the easy ones today. It's amazing seeing the connections between these languages. I'm starting on one of the medium-difficulty ones now.

I've been trying for the longest time to find a solution to this puzzle. This is the only puzzle that I have that I have not been able to find a solution for on Google. Any help? The only identifying information is "1993 SILVER STAR"

Could you re-host the image on imgur? Photobucket seems to be broken.

Just write a computer program to brute force it.
Also, without knowing the other sides, we probably can't solve it.

Nobody help him. If he can't solve it he doesn't deserve the answer. If hints are used it becomes ineffective as a: tool to measure intelligence, tool to foster puzzle-solving thinking. etc.

It's more to prove a point to someone. To solve it, each math statement must be correct. My friend says there is no solution. When I got it, I'm pretty sure it came solved.
