Tutorial: Introduction to Windows PowerShell 1.0
"If you’ve been around Microsoft Windows any length of time, you’ve most likely seen or at least heard about the “Command Prompt” which, in Windows NT-based Operating Systems (Win2K and beyond), is executed via CMD.exe. Windows PowerShell is a similar relatively new command-line shell and is available to any Windows user (assuming you are using one of the supported operating systems listed below). However, PowerShell was particularly designed for system and network administrators."

458 Reasons to Stop Using Internet Explorer 6
"For one reason or another there are still people using IE6, for example, people still using Win2K where IE8 is not supported. Keep in mind there are other "safer" browser alternatives. The attached PDF contains a list of 458 known vulnerabilities, of which at least 396 are unpatched. After viewing the list, I hope you give some consideration to finding an alternative if you are still an IE6 user."

Free Image Editing Software - Paint.Net
"I haven't had the chance to install Photoshop on my new laptop running Vista Business yet. I caught this link from tech republic yesterday and decided to install Paint.net and give it a shot. user-wise it's nearly as simple as the built in Paint that comes with the OS, but with many of the features of more complex and expensive editors like Photoshop. It includes all the basic familiar tools, like lasso, magic wand, fill, rectangle, ellipse, and many effects common to expensive editors. Image adjustments include auto levels, levels, hue, contrast, curves, etc. And like other editors you can easily work in layers."

Silly (in retrospect) Internet Misunderstandings
"Anyone remember things they thought about how the Internet worked that looking back at now seems silly ? I remember when I first learned what an "HTTP Referrer" was, I used to think that the referrer would contain the last page I was looking at even if I used a bookmark to go to the new page, so I..."

Eolas. Round 2
"Eolas is suing everyone this time. Ridiculous, hopefully the Redhat motion to Scotus to adopt software as part bilski ruling goes into play, Microsoft can counter sue Eolas and recoup the money. Then all these companies sue Eolas for litigation costs already incurred, and Eolas goes bankrupt."

Sidekick user data disappears into the cloud
"T-Mobile customers using the sidekick mobile phone have a good reason to be upset today. Over the weekend, something happened to the server cloud where all of the sidekick stored it's information - including contacts, numbers, calendar events, photos, etc. The server cloud is (was?) owned and operated by Danger, a Microsoft subsidiary, and thus, the giant is taking blame as well. All of the information on the cloud was lost despite all recovery attempts..."

Can Using UTF-8 Degrade Performance in Some Languages ?
"I've been reading up a bit more on UTF-8 lately and one of the disadvantages I came across was UTF-8 using 2 and in some cases 3 times as much space to represent data as a native encoding for the language would use. My first thought was big deal, storage space is pretty cheap these days. But then I thought about the RAM it must be using to work with this UTF-8 encoded data in an application."

How to select an uninterruptible power supply ?
"How do I determine what sort of uninterruptible power supply I need to get ? My only requirement is that it will keep everything I have plugged in here at my desk powered on in the event of a power flicker. A quick look around and I see things with specs listed such as "watts" and "VA". Do I need to find out how many watts each of my PC power supplies are, add those numbers together, and go from there for what I need ?"

Featured Tutorial: Multi-Column Layout Using CSS Float
For this tutorial, we're targeting a layout that has three columns of content with spaces at the top and bottom for a header and footer. The page will be a fixed width and will also be centered in the browser's display area (the figure to your left).
We'll begin with an XHTML page structure in its most simple form. In the <head> of our document, we'll point to an external CSS file.
Once upon a time, web developers used the HTML element <table> to layout content columns. This practice is now recognized as cumbersome and not very semantic.
These days, instead of using <table>, we use the <div> element as a container for content. Once you get the hang of it, using <div> becomes very liberating and greatly reduces the amount of markup needed to layout a page.
This is an intermediate level tutorial that discusses one method of multi-column page layout. It assumes the reader has a good knowledge and understanding of HTML and CSS.
