Am I missing something, or will the XOR trick only work for numbers less than the bit-size of your architecture? i.e. if you're doing this on a 32-bit machine, and A or B is greater than 4294967295, it won't work.
To expand on r-jae's comment ("Why must we always swallow CmdrTaco's opinion?"), I think./ should avoid putting too much personal opinion into article headlines. "Sneak Peak of Sony's New VAIO" would be a bit more appropriate than "Sony's Latest VAIO Looks Like Barf". Save the personal comments for the end of the summary, at least.
I agree with Issue9mm. If you've invested a lot of time, and possibly money, developing a product that others find useful, then you shouldn't be castigated for charging for that product. If you decide to be generous and make it free/Open Source, then that's your prerogative. It doesn't make you evil if you don't.
[We use VMWare at work, and pay for all our licenses. We use it because all of the developers are on Linux and sometimes we have do testing in Windows, and it's a lot easier to fire up VMWare than it is to move to another machine.]

So I guess this begs the question: what is the oldest [digital] computer that is still running?
Some friends and I made these in college and they actually were some of the best cookies I've ever had.
