What are three very useful online dictionaries?

For proper English m-w.com is useful. It has a thesaurus as well. For a dictionary that has user submission and up to date terms, I find Urban Dictionary.com to be useful. For other terms that are computer related, take a look at the new hackers dictionary. All three are quite useful.
