From the Peculiar Ideas Departament: Compilr

Say you're away from home and just have to compile some lines of code to prove a theory, how do you do? Easy: browse to http://www.caller.me.uk/Compilr/, type or paste your lines and the code is compiled in a far and away server. It sounds like a strange proposition to me, but who knows, may be there are reams of programmers with Internet access that don't have a compiler at hand... Where's the money in the site? Advertising of course (Google is now generating some really weird spawn.) For the time being, they offer you C#, VB.NET, C, and Fortran compilers. Come to think of it, if they offer a few exotic languages like Lisp, Prolog, or APL, I may very well give it a try...
