This Microsoft-Novell partnership's not all it's cracked up to be

This Microsoft-Novell partnership's not all it's cracked up to be by ZDNet 's Mary Jo Foley -- It's now November 21, and both Microsoft and Novell are still spending an inordinate amount of energy trying to convince nonbelievers that their intentions in forming their interoperability alliance on November 2 were as altruistically pro-customer as they originally claimed.

Sending mail by asp.net 2.0

Sending mail by asp.net 2.0 In ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft deprecated the System.Web.Mail namespace and replaced it with System.Net.Mail. The new library introduces some new features, but it also includes some bugs in how mail is sent. Before discussing some of these in detail, let's go through some code sample (which assumes you've added a using System.Net.Mail at the top of the file): MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(); msg.From = new MailAddress("address@domain.com", "Person's Name"); msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("destination@domain.com", "Addressee's Name"); msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("destination2@domain.com", Addressee 2's Name"); msg.Subject = "Message Subject"; msg.Body = "Mail body content"; msg.IsBodyHtml = true; msg.Priority = MailPriority.High; SmtpClient c = new SmtpClient("mailserver.domain.com"); c.Send(msg); Is'n it so easy.

Compiling Linux Kernel

    I'm writing a short how-to to compile linux kernel. This process is for 2.6 series of kernel. Building kernel requires no programing knowledge. All it require is knowledge of hardware u have. Compiling kernel for ur system improves performance of ur system as much as 40% depending on ur system configuration.     First download latest linux kernel from kernel.org. At the time of writing 2.6.18 kernel is released. Downlaod linux-2.6.18.tar.gz file. Extract this using tar zxvf linux-2.6.18.tar.gz. This will extract all files in foler linux-2.6.18. cd to this foler.     Now u have to configure kernel for your system. To configure kernel run make menuconfig or make xconfig     This command will open an window. In this select/deselect option for ur system. Deselect all other driver for devices that you don't have and select only those devices that u have. For example if u have intel motherboard, then in audio driver enable only i...

AMD buy ATI : what does this means for nVidia From past few years nVidia and AMD are very good partners, even there is roumer on the net that nVidia might buy AMD. I think this is not the right move by AMD because of this AMD might get away from nVidia (and closer to Intel) which is definately is not good. Also nVidia is a better platform provider for AMD than ATI. This time AMD has to make sure Nvidia might get away from them and AMD has to give more information to Nvidia than before. After this Nvidia will give equal priority both AMD and Intel and they also have to look for other option for innovation. There is one more option for Nvidia, which not in current scenario is to "build processor based on power architecture of IBM ." Power architecture is used my Apple, now Apple has witched to Intel, IBM might be looking for partner to sell Power based processors. IBM is promoting Power architecture as open source processor architecture through power.org. Nvidia has two options...
Where is my dream OS. If ur tired using Winows, Linux , Mac, *BSD there are few other u can try. There are operating systems u can try, might be one of them suit ur needs. SkyOS Started in 1996 and still in beta, SkyOS is primarily developed by just one person, Robert Szeleney. This proprietary OS has a lot of good things going for it, such as symmetric multiprocessing support, an integrated media subsystem, and a journaled 64-bit file system that lets you recover a partition in the event of a crash. Application support is limited, but SkyOS offers Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, AbiWord, Gaim, Nvu, and Pixel, among others. Installing application software is simple via the SkyOS Software Store; all it takes is a few clicks of the mouse. SkyOS also offers real-time file content query searches with multiple keyword support, similar to Beagle in Linux or Spotlight in Mac OS X. Files and programs are indexed for easy access. Also included is support for system-wide mouse gestures, and a...
Linux kernel gets wifi support The the latest Linux kernel, 2.6.17, was released last weekend. The kernel, dubbed the "crazed Snow-Weasel," includes a range of new features. They include support for Sun Microsystems' Niagara chip architecture and for Broadcom's 43xx-based wireless card family, as well as several performance improvements. Read more..
OpenSuse 10.1 is much better than Fedora Core 5 I have tested OpenSuse and Fedora Core 5. I'm very disappointed by FC5. FC5 have a sober interface. It doesn't any multimedia support for mp3/mpg. On the other side openSuse come with flash player and real player.
