ASP .NET - Development Server(Local Host) - Page Not found problem

I typically, do not use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 from my laptop, but today I had to. I designed a simple page and tried to run that, but it said " Page can not be displayed, check your Internet Connection.. blah blah" . I searched over the internet regarding this error but most of the solutions were regarding IIS which I was not using at that time. 

After some time I found that  the problem is because of IPV6 supports of ASP.NET Development Server. To disable IPV6 so that ASP.NET Development Server runs, we can do as below.

1. Go to c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\.

2. Edit file hosts. Put a ‘#’ before the rows “::1 localhost”.

3. Save it.

If you can not save the file and get some permission errors, follow the following steps:

1.  Run cmd as Administrator ( in Windows Vista) first. 

2. Go to c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\ from command prompt. 

3. Type "Edit hosts" there

4. Put a ‘#’ before the rows “::1 localhost” and save it.

After saving the file go to your visual studio, compile the website again. It will run.

“Apple tablet”: How will it look like?

People are talking about “Apple tablet”. We can see so many news, views, rumors and speculations regarding “Apple tablets” these days. Many designers are sketching their ideas of Apple tablet. I googled “apple tablet” and saw so many pictures about the product which is not even released. I am wondering what will be the name of the tablet, may be something like iTablet (like iPhone, iPod. People are also saying that the name might be iSlate). This might be the fusion of iPod and iPhone in one, or might be way more powerful and useful than those, or might be just another model of Mac book Pro. I am also wondering how this highly anticipated gadget will look like. Will it look like one of these ? Will it bring a new technological breakthrough or it will be just another gadget? I hope Mr. Jobs announces the new gadget soon, and I will get all my answers. :-)

Some Grad students' jokes

You know you're a grad student when... you can identify universities by their internet domains. you are constantly looking for a thesis in novels. you have difficulty reading anything that doesn't have footnotes. you understand jokes about Foucault. the concept of free time scares you. you consider caffeine to be a major food group. you've ever brought books with you on vacation and actually studied. Saturday nights spent studying no longer seem weird. the professor doesn't show up to class and you discuss the readings anyway. you've ever travelled across two state lines specifically to go to a library. you appreciate the fact that you get to choose which twenty hours out of the day you have to work. you still feel guilty about giving students low grades (you'll get over it). you can read course books and cook at the same time. you schedule events for academic vacations so your friends can come. you hope it snows during spring break so you can get more studyi...
