There's an option in your blog's admin panel to do this.
It’s your content; you can do with it whatever you like. Go to Tools -> Export in your WordPress.com dashboard to download an XML file of your blog’s content.
In addition to any manual backups you make, blogs hosted on Wordpress.com are regularly backed up by their own processes.

Word press has an openid plugin. I am not sure if it works with the other login services.
This plugin can do also other services like
Quickly register and login users with their existing accounts from Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, Windows Live, MySpace, AOL or OpenID

I am using Wordpress 3.0 so I am not sure if this applies to previous versions of WP or not.
In the WP admin, go to Tools > Import. Then you'll see a list of import tools you can install and use.

No, you are not permitted to do that on Wordpress.com blogs.
AdSense, Yahoo, Chitika, TextLinkAds, and other third-party advertising is not allowed here at WordPress.com. If you would like to run ads on your blog, one of these options may work for you:
We have a feature called WordAds that lets WordPress.com bloggers with moderate to high traffic ...

Yes it is removed from the blog post as well. These videos are embedded in your blog so there is a direct link to anything that happens on the hosting site.
The video will appear to still be viewable on your site, but the moment you click play you should see otherwise.
To keep it on your site, you will need to host the video yourself.

You don't necessarily need a plugin to do that. Here are 2 alternate methods:
FriendFeed
You can use FriendFeed (details here, disclaimer it's my blog).
FeedBurner
If you use FeedBurner to manage the RSS of your blog, you can go to the Publicize tab, then click on the Socialize sidebar link and set-up FeedBurner to post on Twitter when a new post comes ...

Blackbird Pie (now defunct) used to do exactly what you are looking for: simply paste the URL of any tweet into the form on that page and it will generate static HTML that you can embed into your blog.
You can now embed directly via the Twitter UI by clicking "Embed this Tweet"
There is additionally a Wordpress specific plugin as well as a Google Chrome ...

JavaScript is not allowed on wordpress.com blogs due to security reasons. This means that the following will not work (among others): <script> tags; javascript: links; and events such as onclick.
In fact, that's the reason I switched from wordpress.com to blogger.com. Your only Wordpress option is to either host it yourself, or find some hosting ...

The Settings Menu is the place you are looking for. Everything you described can be turned off using the settings.
As for the menus and pages, you can create pages right off the bat, and menu's can be created via Appearance->Menu. As to their placement - see widgets.
A little bit of fiddling around with the system should be quite self explanatory.

As the only way ifttt.com can post to Wordpress, is using the XML-RPC API, and that API currently doesn't support supplying custom post type while calling insert post methods(will support from 3.4), you can make use of the filter wp_insert_post_data. I accomplished that last month while building a hack. Here is a hack that would work the way you want, just ...

To delete the "Uncategorized" category:
Use the category dashboard under Posts > Categories to create a second category (if you haven't already)
Select a new default category on the Settings > Writing panel
Return to Posts > Categories and use the checkboxes & drop-down menus to delete "Uncategorized"
You can also just edit the "Uncategorized" ...

You don't need a plugin for this if you make the user a "Contributor":
A contributor can edit their posts but cannot publish them. When a contributor creates a post, it will need to be submitted to an administrator for review. Once a contributor’s post is approved by an administrator and published, however, it may no longer be edited by the contributor.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-latex/ is the answer ;-)
Developed by Automattic's Michael Adams and live on WordPress.com, it is well supported and maintained.

As far as I know, there's also a Twitter-web app you can find via their site, that allows you to embed a user-specific timeline via html.
It's not static, since it's basically just a miniature timeline window, but it sure looks genuine and non-photoshopped :)
EDIT:
Now I also found the Link :)
(Scroll down on the Twitter main page and look for "goodies" ...

You can autopost to blogger, WP and other services, if you have a blog at Posterous. Posterous lets you autopost to several other services automatically.
If you have a self hosted blog at WP, you can try out a few WP plugins which would let you do the same thing.

Yes, it seems all you have to do is paste your own CSS. However, if the theme requires custom PHP or HTML, you will need to host Wordpress yourself (through a web host) which is much more complicated.
If you purchase the Custom CSS Upgrade you can modify the stylesheet of any theme. Moreover, the Sandbox theme allows a great deal of flexibility and is a ...

You can use a free account at http://box.net or Ubuntu One to upload and share .zip files, but unless you have a LOT of code that you want to share, you're probably better off embedding your code samples into your posts.
Wordpress now supports posting source code on blogs hosted through their site:
While WordPress.com doesn’t allow you to use ...

I would recommend Joomla or even Drupal. From my experience Joomla is easier to configure but Drupal is more powerful but harder to learn. They both have tons of free plugins / addons that can do what you need. Both also have tons of free templates / themes to make your site look the way you want.
Wordpress would be great if you just want to post status ...

there are two popular ways (among others) to transfer a dev WP site to production:
copy all files to your destination server and then deal with the data issues by going into mysql and updating the urls (via find and replace) to thenew url
alternatively, you can just simply install a new version of wordpress on the destination server and do a data import ...

Try Anthologize. It's for Wordpress too. :)
According to ReadWriteWeb:
Anthologize enables anyone working
with WordPress to easily publish their
content in a variety of book formats,
including PDF, ePUB, and TEI, an open
XML format. Anthologize can handle
WordPress blog content as well as
feeds from other sources, allowing

Download the source code to the BlogML project and use the binary in the
Schema Validator\bin\Release
directory to see what problems your BlogML file has. If there aren't any, the problem is probably on their end.

For self-hosted WordPress or WordPress.com? (The former is really off-topic for this site.)
Self-hosted, there is this plugin, which allows visitors to use OpenID to identify themselves to register, log in, and leave comments.
For WordPress.com, you can use your blog as an OpenID provider for other sites. You can see the sites where you use this under ...

Do you remember your FTP account password or your browse filesystem password? If so, FTP into the site, go into the directory you installed WordPress in and look for wp-config.php file. That contains your database's password in clear text.
Not sure what protects phpMyAdmin, but if that's .htaccess or .htpasswd, you can edit or delete that one.

The Import HTML Pages plugin might help you. If you haven't installed WordPress yet, you might want to start with WordPress 2.9.2 (the current maximum version tested with the plugin) and then update to 3.0.1 once you've completed the import.
Potentially the plugin could have problems with HTML that isn't well-formed, but you can use HTML Tidy and/or the W3C ...

You need a default category (perhaps with different name) because that's where the posts go when you delete a different category. There is a need for some sort of 'none of the others' place.
The question is, why do you care? Are you saying that you don't want to display that empty category? Then look for plugins that hide a specific category instead.

Currently there is no web application to do this.
I have tried using Yahoo Pipes to recreate the feed but the data does not parse. If possible you can try scraping the html with the Fetch Page Module. This become a bit hard for pagination. If you are able to reach this far. You will have to get in the WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR) format.

A search for
wordpress "this post is super awesome"
with the quotes revealed some blogs about the "Surprise Me" option that has been added to Wordpress. Checking "Surprise Me" enables this checkbox on posts.
A lot of the posts mention that if you check this option something happens after you hit "Publish" but are coy about what that "something" is.

I never worked with either of them really closely, but I think you should also give a try to Google Apps for Business and even better start with the free version.
Among other great features that the company can be benefitted from, you can create the intranet using Google Sites.
