Ways to count the number of 1's in an unsigned integer

I was just working on some cryptography program while crossing some really interesting algorithms to count the number of 1's in an unsigned integer on the web (some of them are O(1)!). Great time to expand your mathematics! Here is a link to the article:

Not all of the algorithms are straightforward to understand, so feel free to post a comment to tell the algorithm you like or discuss about any of them!

Bounties

Take a look at these bounties, Google is definitely throwing a lot of money into it:

The KDE ones seem to have more specific rules, and even if you don't code KDE, there are bounties for "visionary developers"!

Please comment on the projects, not necessarily what you are willing to do, but what interests you and what you think are the most workable.
