What's the best dedicated search-and-replace GUI tool on a Mac? "Find & Replace It!" seems decent, but they've ridiculously disabled the replace function in the demo, so I can't give it a real test before paying. Is there anything else comparable or better?
TextWrangler (free) or its big brother BBEdit (not free).
It seems that the version 1.0 of Find & Replace It! allows replacing in its trial version. Personnaly I like it for its preview feature and its scripting possibilities.

[update] New link
you don't have to pay a dime for anything! If your OS has bash/sed/find/etc and other *nix tools, you can do your own script to do find and replace!
eg if you have sed
sed -i.bak 's/find/replace/g' *.txt
Huge overkill, but Eclipse's find and replace dialogue is pretty solid. Supports regexes with excellent syntax help.
I was going to recommend sed as well, if it hadn't been for the gui requirement :)
vim
:%s/pattern/replace/g

Is this the right place for this Question?
May someone please recommend a text editor like notepad++ for Mac. I trolled through the net and cant seem to find anything close or anything that's free.
I have been using Notepad++ for a while but have recently made an enviornment change to OSX to understand and learn more about other platforms.
If you want free, you can download XCode from Apple for free. It's quite a power IDE, so if you're only after a text editor, it may be too much.
I use TextMate. There's a 30 day trial if you just want to check it out. It's not free but you get what you pay for.

Try TextMate http://macromates.com/
lol Jeff you beat me by 15 seconds

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.

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.

Has anyone got any recommendations for tools/utilities to use in creating/debugging XPath queries for Windows ?
SketchPath looks like it might help (and is free)
If you have Notepad++, there's an XML tools plugin. Among the tools in that plugin is a simple XPath expression evaluator. Sketchpatch is much more complete (I've tried it and it's nice) but if you use Notepad++ all the time it's worth knowing about this plugin.
There is a new plugin for Notepad++: XPatherizerNPP. The biggest advantage it has over XML Tools is the reverse lookup feature.
There are a couple of good options on Codeplex ..
XPathVisualiser at http://xpathvisualizer.codeplex.com/
XMLExplorer at http://xmlexplorer.codeplex.com/
Liquid XML Studio comes with an XPath visualizer. The stand alone version is free in the community edition. If you want to integrate it into visual studio then you have to buy it though.
It highlights the results as you type, and has auto complete on the XPath expression.
I've been using XmlSpy.

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 :)
