I have this idea for a free backup application. The largest problem I need to solve at the moment is how to access files which are being used or are system files. I would like the application to be able to perform a full backup of files (i.e. not on a disk sector by sector level). I'll turn the server part of the application into a ser...
Are there any free, third-party libraries for rendering arbitrarily scaled and rotated text in dot-NET applications?

Frameworks simplify coding at the cost of speed and obfuscation of the OS. With the passing of Moore's law do you thing that there might be a shift away from Frameworks? I suspect that one of the reasons for Vista not being an outstanding success was that it ran much slower than XP, and, because computers had not improved as greatly i...

Ok - a bit of a mouthful. So the problem I have is this - I need to store a Date for expiry where only the date part is required and I don't want any timezone conversion. So for example if I have an expiry set to "08 March 2008" I want that value to be returned to any client - no matter what their timezone is. The problem with remoting ...
