Two years after Microsoft .NET was introduced, most users still don't know what it is or how to use it. Experts dig in to .NET on this week's edition of this weekly radio Webcast. The bottom line: developers should become familiar with Web services protocols and start experimenting with Microsoft's .NET programming tools. Useful server products will begin to roll out next year. http://win2000talk.techtarget.com/?stream=2248 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- THE MISSING LINK | EPA urges recycling, not dumping, computers While you're upgrading, your old computer isn't exactly biodegrading. It's probably sitting in a landfill somewhere giving the environment some toxic lead kisses and remembering the good ol' days when it got turned on. But the dump won't be the destiny of dated hardware much longer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wants Americans to treat their old PCs like aluminum cans and recycle them. EPA officials plan to get computer carcasses classified as reusable and encourage recycling. This is all in an effort to get the lead out of the landfills. Many monitors are loaded with lead, which protects you from nasty X-rays generated by the screen. But pitch the old PC into a dump, and the lead doesn't protect -- it poisons.
