I am looking to visualize ontologies for understanding and making others understand. I would prefer to have top-down hierarchy of classes. I have used OntoGraph which comes with Protégé, but I am not happy with the figure :(. I have also used Microsoft Visio and stencils available for Ontology, but that too has not impressed me.
Through this question I would like to know which is the best tool for visualizing an ontology for general purpose, and/or for specific purpose (like writing an academic paper).
Thanks.

I do not have complete answer for your specific problem, but you may try to review the Mike Bergman's list of tools (for ontology visualization).
Note, RDF is a graph, so you may be able to use any graph-visualization software. "Only" need to map RDF to tool-specific model.
While not an ontology specific tool, thejit is a very nice javascript visualization toolkit. I've used it in the past for custom semweb-related visualizations. You won't get much out of the box support but if you don't mind putting in some coding time, you can get some nice looking graphs.
I can highly recommend you to utilize the graphical editor of TopBraid Composer Maestro Edition. The graphics are not the most beautiful ones. However, it's interactive ;-)

I would like to know what would be the best programming languages to develop an open source that can work on mainly windows and mac.
any person should be able to change the source code if he/she wanted to without the need to recompile it. this is to allow further development and bug fixing.
The application does not require a massive computational resources and it would have a GUI.
what would you recommend?
the only thing i have in mind is to do the application using matLab. any other choice?
Many thanks for your feedback,
Python. There are many IDEs available, and the code is extremely readable. The community also maintains excellent documentation. I would advise against using Matlab to develop Open Source Software because Matlab itself is not an open source program. Maybe since you are talking about something mathematical, an open source alternative could be Octave? But I don’t really know what you mean by an application. Hope anything I suggested helped.

I'm completely new to Modelica and was wondering what is the best way to learn on my own? Also I will be using it with MapleSim 5 (or 6 when it will be available) so any information regarding that would be helpful too.
I'll need Modelica to create a few components for a thermal model, then simulate with MapleSim and hopefully I will also manage to co-simulate with another software (EnergPlus) using FMI when it will be available for MapleSim and BCVTB.
Sorry for not being specific with my question, really any reference to a good Modelica guide would be great, thanks.
Clearly, I am biased, but I like to think that my book "Introduction to Physical Modeling with Modelica" is a great way to explore the features of Modelica in the context of engineering problems. I noticed that Wolfram seems to recommend the book as well.
But in the interest of balance, there are two books by Peter Fritzson on the topic of Modelica as well.

I am very interested in machine learning. i have an idea to develop a program which can generate a source code according to a given standards. for example if i have trained the system to how to write something to console and the standard way of using variables then it should be able to generate a source code for anything which i ask to print something to the console, likewise. Is there any resources source codes or existing open source projects?
You might be interested in Genetic Programming. It's a genetic algorithm that operates directly on programs.
The demo I saw used Lisp (Common Lisp, I think), which is a natural fit, but any language with eval should be decently easy to use.
The Wikipedia page lists a whole pile of implementations, many of them open source, so you should be able to start there.
This sounds like this is would be a Constraint Satisfaction [CSPs] or Search Problem, these approaches would probably be your best bet:
Genetic Algorithm
Some sort of goal seaking heuristic [with negative/positive reenforcements]
The algorithms that are under the CSP category.

I want to learn some basics about MSHTML, like how to use IHtmlDocument and IHtmlDocument2 interfaces. I searched for quite a while, but can not find out a tutorial for beginners. Could anyone recommend something to read?
EDIT: I prefer to use C#.
When I was learning to use MSHTML I mostly relied on the MSDN documentation and asked specific details in newsgroups and sites like this.
It also helped me alot to download the whole Windows SDK instead of reading online.
If you are using C#, then you should not be using MSHTML. Use the WebBrowser component if you're using Windows Forms, use any of the XML APIs if you're trying to generate HTML (as XHTML). You might possibly want to use an HtmlWriter, but stay away from unmanaged code, if you can help it.
Links:
WebBrowser Control (Windows Forms)
HtmlTextWriter Class (System.Web.UI)
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?query=mshtml%20tutorial&ac=1
BTW, MSHTML is not a new thing - it's an old thing.
BTW2, is this the George2?
There are some tutorials under the "hosting and reuse" section of IE SDK documentation. But I guess you need to read the DHTML tutorials under the HTML/CSS section as well.

I need a free very simple CMS which i can host on my own server just like Cushy CMS www.cushycms.com. is there any ?
I recently wrote an alternative to CushyCMS because I wanted the open source community to have a free alternative.
Mechedit is an open source CushyCMS like applciation. Runs on PHP5 only though.
Orbis CMS is another open source alternative to CushyCMS. It's built on the same pricinples (simplicity, ease-of-use) and features a stylish interface, but is self-hosted and free.
SnappySnippets is a free and simple alternative; it is highly customizable and has a desktop interface that your clients will find easy to use. It is hosted so that you don't have to install anything
There are many questions like this on Stackover flow
for example:

Just search for CMS
Good question which I was asking myself recently. This is a neglected corner of the CMS landscape. However, I did find:
this rather detailed and intelligent summary list:
http://www.matthijskamstra.nl/blog/index.php/2011/02/16/lightweight-cms-for-simple-projects/
a briefer but recently updated list of 40 lightweight CMSs http://www.abcphp.com/out/top-40-free-simple-lightweight-cms-|-vivalogo-resources/
Two other lists, both from 2012 and neither suggesting much examination of the products:
http://webdesignledger.com/tools/10-simple-and-light-weight-cms-solutions
http://speckyboy.com/2010/07/19/14-light-and-east-to-use-open-source-content-management-systems/
In case you're wondering, the project I was looking at using one of these for got a little more complicated and I ended up going to a more heavyweight system, with a simplified interface on top of it.
There's a lesson there. Many systems that will cope with complex needs (Drupal, MODX etc) can still be installed pretty quickly, and your users' needs are only going to grow more complex over time.
That said, I'd still like to think lightweight systems have their place. Let us know what you chose.
