I'd love to do some stuff in Prolog. Just need a good IDE for the Mac to make it not a pain in the butt. Which IDE do you recommend?
There is also a free Prolog IDE based on Eclipse, PDT, available from:
https://sewiki.iai.uni-bonn.de/research/pdt/start
Along the lines of "not really an IDE" answers, Textmate seems to be a favorite of OS X developers.
There seems to be some Prolog community support for it as well.
https://github.com/textmate/prolog.tmbundle
http://calltopower.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/prolog-textmate-plugin/
Not exactly about IDes but the current Logtalk distribution includes support for several text editors and syntax highlighters that can also be used for Prolog programming:
http://trac.logtalk.org/browser/trunk/wenv
The Prolog FAQ also contains useful information about editing and publishing Prolog code (sections 15 and 16):
http://www.logic.at/prolog/faq/
There are several plugin's available for Eclipse which work rather well with prolog. Theres a SICStus plug in which we use in Uni, although I dont believe its free, theres also a few other options in the Eclipse Marketplace (Under the Help menu)
Try CiaoDE plus GNU Emacs. CiaoDE is a state of the art prolog system with lots of libraries that runs in OS X, Linux and Windows.
You can try to use XGP for this.

I mean it have features like inline graphics display, worksheet mode, audio playback and ect ... like ipython, maple and matlab
I found winghci on windows but it doesn't seem to have those features. (BTW, I didn't use Windows)
On Linux, I can't find any GUI mode for ghci. I always run ghci from terminal.
Duplicated? this and this show that ghci is capable of do graphics but it is not exactly what I want to know.
There is a Summer of Code project called GHCLive, which looks exactly like what you want.
Quite surprisingly, no one is really talking about it.
I wish they were.
There's no "graphical" version or variant of GHCi. As pointed out in the linked questions, there are plenty of Haskell libraries to do plots, drawings, and other graphics, and there are plenty of libraries that output audio or produce music.
If you just need nicer Haskell programming helpers, you should look at the various Haskell modes for Emacs (my personal favourite is ghc-mod). These also let you evaluate Haskell expression from Emacs, which could allow you to simulate worksheets.
There are also some pure-Haskell editors like Yi or Leksah which do everything the Haskell modes for Emacs do, but in a purer way. In particular, Leksah aims to be exactly what you're looking for: an IDE for working with Haskell.

is there any good equivalent debugger for Mac OS X?
Something that allows patching and saving of the assembly as well (with graphic interface?)
Thanks!
GDB is the gold standard for debugging on *nix. GDB has all of the debugging features you would expect in a modern debugger. For example, reverse debugging is the best feature to have if you are modifying the binary in memory, when you make a mistake just step back and try again. DDD is a popular front end, but seriously you should learn GDB's CLI. It has bit of a learning curve, but once you learn it you'll never go back. Its a lot faster.
Saving a modified binary isn't that great of a feature. Just open the binary with a hex editor like Hex Fiend and modify it directly, not a big deal.
I'm not a OSX person, but you might find IDA useful, however, you will probably need to pay for the linux/osx versions, as there is only a free version for windows.
Have a look at the lldb debugger (http://lldb.llvm.org/) and of course gdb is available.

As a learning exercise I'm building a basic scientific computation environment based on .NET. I'd like the GUI of the app to be much like matlab, in that I have an interactive window, an objects window and the facility to spawn visualisation windows. Intellisense in my command window would be very nice. It seems visual studio itself could almost be used in this manner, is this a viable option? Creating the visualisations within the VS environment seems like the only hurdle. What could I do here?
Eclipse is also an option I suppose but I'd prefer to stay totally with .NET if possible.
Any other suggestions?
You could take a look at MonoDevelop here to provide some help. It is open-source and one of the nicer IDEs.
You could also build something based on GEdit, as it is very pluggable.
Those are the two tools, plus the CLI that I use for .NET development, but I am entirely on Linux/Unix using the Mono tools.
Hope that helps!
I've just discovered VSlab. Its specific to F#, however its a good demonstration of what I would like to be able to do with my own DSL in terms of visualisation and an interactive editor.

I'm into hacking challenges (like rankk.com) and some of the challenges require disassembly and little modifications of PE files.
I'm looking for a disassembler/debugger that is able to dump the strings, walk the assembler code and allow modifications.
My knowledge in this field is very limited so I'm looking for something relatively easy to use and preferably free.
IDA, nothing else comes even close.
IDA Pro
I like OllyDbg. (with a good companion :)
IDA Pro has a nice graph for better understanding of the code flow and the disassembler is amazing. Although i use OllyDbg as JIT debugger and general debugger for MASM.
IDA also has a free version now of their previous version. For light or introductory reversing or getting started it's a great tool.
IDA Pro for common cases, SoftIce for special cases (for example when you need to reverse highly protected application, you can use special SoftIce plugins and so on). I was an experienced cracker in student years :)

I've recently began using dTrace and have noticed just how awesome it is. Its the perfect tool for profiling without placing the burden on programmers to set up hundreds of probes in their applications.
I've found some nice one liner and sample scripts here and there, but I was wondering about what scripts, tools and links others might want to share.
BTW Anybody tried Chimes?
Here are some links I've found useful
A Powerpoint presentation about dTrace:
http://www.nbl.fi/~nbl97/solaris/dtrace/dtt_present.pdf
200+ useful scripts:
http://www.brendangregg.com/
I attended Theo Schlossnagle's Full Stack Introspection Crash Course talk at OSCON this year. In that presentation he gives several examples of using the D-Trace language and at the above link there are some additional utilities.
It's worth noting that because of the differences in Apple's and Sun's implementations, dtrace scripts from Solaris may not (likely won't) work on Leopard, and vice-versa. I'm not sure about FreeBSD's version.
The main problem is a different set of probes made available by the OS. Sometimes the probes will be provided under a different name. Sometimes they'll be more or less specific from one OS to another. Just a gotcha in case you come across a script that, for some reason, won't work.
Unfortunately dTrace is only implemented in/for Solaris OS. People from sun are recommend me to port all my php applications to Solaris, and "dtrace" them. After optimizing to again port them on my previous OS.
