I would like to learn how to write a small emulator/virtual machine. Does anyone know a good tutorial or a simpler project than qemu/virtualbox?
Thx

Check out my tutorial on how to write your own virtual machine from scratch at http://www.icemanind.com
Its a complete tutorial that will walk you through building a virtual machine and assembler in C#.

Anthony Green did a blog series on coming up with an instruction set, porting binutils, gcc, newlib and so on, as well as setting up sim, and qemu to emulate a machine with this new instruction set. The posts (and patches) are all linked from http://atgreen.github.io/ggx/. There are a handful of posts that aren't linked from there about various tangential issues.

I've been doing research online to find a good IDE for programming in NASM. The only one I found consistently mention is RadASM however, in contains no documentation on how to set it up and on top of that it is riddled with viruses/trojans (according to Norton).
Does anyone know of a reliable, preferably free, IDE that works well with NASM?
I'm looking for something to do the same for NASM as NetBeans or Eclipse do for Java.
I have some links to IDE's here
Both RadASM v2 and v3 are from the authors sourcforge repository site and are virus free
Update
Because the links are broken on the above page, I'm adding the git info here.

My ActivePerl documentation has a section dedicated to this seemingly little-known technology.
I guess that the technology didn't really catch on.
A couple of questions:
where would PerlScript be useful as a drop-in replacement for an equivalent technology like VBScript?
does anyone know of any examples where businesses have employed PerlScript?
ActiveState implemented this for Microsoft IIS, allowing Perl to be used in lieu of VBScript or JScript there. My guess, therefore, is that most Microsoft shops look to Microsoft tools and hence there is limited adoption.

Is it possible to port a certain full-blown website into its mobile version? If yes, how to do so?
The question seems to be a bit vague, but I would also like to get a vague idea as to how it can be done. The scalability issues and all.
There are commercial services available which will make creating mobile version of your site fairly simple, if not even a trivial task. For example check out http://mobify.me/
Some recent articles on this subject I found to be useful:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
http://csswizardry.com/2011/01/forget-responsive-web-design/
I hope this will help in finding a good method to create mobile content.

Does anyone know of a real good SSMS Add-In that beautifies T/SQL, isn't too expensive and also does things around best practices for T/SQL formatting?
I'm well aware of Red Gate's tool, but ~$300 is quite a killer amount.
http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Refactor/index.htm
I've seen this Add-In, but it's purely about indentation.
http://www.wangz.net/sqlpp/ssmsaddin.html
Neither solution addresses the commenting and header best practices.
I came across this tool:
http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_refactor.asp
It's pretty good for a free product. Nothing beats the Red Gate tools however.
Have you tried SQL Enlight?
These ones have some basic features

is there any open-source and extendable tool like what js-kit/disqus provides that could be self hosted ?
Since disqus is made with django, IMHO it is relevant to suggest something similar that is made with django too. :-) From my understanding is disqus is basically a threaded commenting system. The most popular ones in django community for this is django-threaded-comments.
Take a look on Juvia
It's in Ruby and there is a demo available following the Github project readme
