Professional Active Server Pages 3.0

Professional Active Server Pages 3.0
By Alex Homer , David Sussman , Brian Francis , George Reilly , Dino Esposito , Craig McQueen , Simon Robinson , Richard Anderson , Andrea Chiarelli , Chris Blexrud , Bill Kropog , John Schenken , Matthew Gibbs , Dean Sonderegger , Dan Denault This book is about Active Server Pages 3.0, as included with Windows 2000. However, because ASP is now a core part of so many Web-oriented features within Windows, this book covers a far wider area than just how ASP works. ASP is maturing all the time to encompass more integration with other Windows services and software, and so there are many other areas that impinge directly on the use and performance of ASP. In particular this involves the Windows operating system itself, including the new security features of Windows 2000, and the Internet server software that comes with Windows 2000 - Internet Information Server (IIS). On top of this are the other less obvious services, which also have a direct or indirect effect on the way that ASP works. These include COM+, the various Internet service administration tools, and (indirectly) the many other services and installed software packages that either provide additional functionality to ASP, or which have interfaces that are available for use in ASP.

Fuels of Opportunity: Characteristics and Uses In Combustion Systems


David Tillman, N. Stanley Harding “Fuels of Opportunity: Characteristics and Uses In Combustion Systems"
Elsevier Science | 2004-01-20 | ISBN: 0080441629 | 322 pages | PDF | 17,1 MB


As electricity generators and process industries are increasingly seeking less expensive fuels for the generation of electricity and process heat, there is an ever-increasing industry-led emphasise on exploring the possibility of utilising opportunity fuels. This book considers a diverse range of opportunity fuels and their application by addressing the following fundamental issues:

* What are the specific fuel properties of these opportunity fuels?
* What are the combustion/conversion characteristics of these fuels fired alone or in combination with conventional fossil fuels?
* How are they best applied in energy settings?
* What are the technical and environmental consequences of their use?
In considering these fuels the book presents detailed updated information on fuel characterization approaches and fuel utilization technologies.
* Explores environmental considerations associated with opportunity fuels, such as, how their utilisation of opportunity fuels can reduce airborne emissions
* Provides professionals in energy generation/energy use industries, a clear definition of fuels of opportunity, evaluates their composition, highlights the modern characteristics, and considers the technologies appropriate for their utilisation in energy applications
* Offers in-depth analysis of opportunity fuel usage, with a strong concentration on the relationship between the combustion processes and subsequent consequences to the structure, reactivity, and related properties of opportunity fuels

The Oxford Handbook of Innovation (Oxford Handbooks)


The Oxford Handbook of Innovation (Oxford Handbooks)
Oxford University Press, USA | 2006-04-13 | ISBN: 0199286809 | 680 pages | PDF | 44,5 MB

This handbook looks to provide academics and students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the phenomenon of innovation. Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and humanities: Management, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Politics, Psychology, and History. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse starting points that much of this literature can be missed, and so constructive dialogues missed.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Resource Kit, Third Edition

cover.jpg

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Resource Kit, Third Edition
Microsoft | 2005 | ISBN: 0735621675 | 1568 pages | PDF | CD 2nd Ed | Total 35 Mb

The definitive resource for installing, managing, and supporting Windows XP Professional-with in-depth technical information and tools from the Microsoft Windows team. Includes new coverage of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and updated security features.

Authors: Charlie Russel and Sharon Crawford

(from an Amazon customer review)
Usually when a book is release as a 2nd or 3rd edition, the publisher is just updating the content to reflect the new features or releases of the software. This book is just that and a little bit more.

This book takes apart the XP operating system from stem to stern and everything in between. Taking it from the deployment to remote users to desktop configuration. In most case that would be enough, but here's where the book is updated.

Adding over 200 pages on security, you will find that book is far more than a Resource kit, it may also be used as a study guide for the 70-270 exam.


The book is actually a repost. The CD is from the 2nd Edition and has not been posted here before. I was unable to locate the CD of the 3rd Ed so would be grateful to anyone who can supply a link, though the 2nd Ed CD should have all you need. It contains:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Resource Kit, 2nd Ed (installation, to be read by IE5 or later. Thanks Microsoft for forcing us to use IE to read it.)
A mystery "Bonus Book" which turns out to be Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Automating and Customizing Installation (PDF) - not much use if you aren't into servers.
A very good set of tools, probably the best part of the CD. Includes sleep.exe for inserting delays, etc.

How to Be Invisible: A Step-By-Step Guide To Protecting Your Assets, Your Identity, And Your Life

It's hard to say how private investigators would react to books like J. J. Luna's How to Be Invisible–while it makes their jobs a lot harder, most of them are paid by the hour. If you want to withdraw from the snooping eyes of the government, corporations, stalking ex-boyfriends, or practically anyone else, this practical, down-to-earth guide will help you and your family vanish. It's not a glamorous James Bond life Mr. Luna is inviting you to take part in; it's probably much like the life you're living right now. Spending much of the early part of the book frightening the reader with tales of stalkers and mistaken identities, the author successfully makes his case that a few adjustments to an individual's personal information flow can make a life-or-death difference. While getting his plan off the ground will take a bit of planning and effort (you have to move at least once to clear your trail), it is sustainable and worthwhile even for those who think they have nothing to hide. Learn about anonymous travel and purchase, using trusts and corporations to keep your assets private, and how recent laws (the book's date of publication is 2000) significantly affect older methods of guaranteeing privacy. Luna makes no claim to know the law where you live and suggests that you consult a trusted local attorney before implementing most of his advice. Just knowing how easily a criminal can learn about and exploit your personal information will make you want to do just that.
