Decrease spam reaching Gmail inbox
No upsurge for me either. Although the damage is done, did you subscribe somewhere recently using this account?
A trick which works in gmail is to add +<website name or something unique> for each service that you subscribe to, for ex. if you are subscribing to example.com, give the id as <yourid>+example@gmail.com. This will land in your inbox but you can easily filter/delete and also figure out who is selling your id.
Sorry, no help for the current situation.

How to Integrate "Repeating Tasks" Into a Text File To-Do System?
If you mark tasks complete or remove them as you are getting done with them, you can start changing the timing of the repeating task to the next one, every time you complete it.
Another approach: When you add a repeating task, add a string of possible completion times in order(say, for a month) and then go on deleting specific times as you get done with them.

Help with MS Outlook 2002
The url for Redemption is http://dimastr.com/redemption . This does exactly what you need but afaik, it covers only MAPI and CDO. Moreover, you'll need to change the system to use this, which probably isn't feasible in your case.

How do I open a ".tar.tgz" file?
If you don't have a linux machine handy, you can install unxutils on windows. It'll be faster/easier than installing cygwin, and it contains file, tar and gzip.

Bingo Pronoiac! I was trying to match magic ids of gz/bz2/tar etc. in the text and hit it just after the first space - 1F 8B 08. Magic id info courtesy filext.com
Just removing the space does the trick.

What is this non-alphanumeric character?
For finding it, as others mentioned, hexdump/vim/emacs on *nix. On Windows: In Textpad, hovering the mouse over that character shows the hex equivalent. Regex equivalent - \x{<hex code>}

What is skype doing?
Check out this article, especially the part around and including this para:
The way Skype handles this so-called "NAT traversal" problem is by inserting a server in the middle that can be seen by connections at both ends. This server for Skype is called a "super node" and may well be inside your computer without your knowledge, because Skype super nodes use borrowed bandwidth and processing power. Lucky us.... [more]
