Visual Studio 2005: Web Site Projects vs. Web Application Projects

Introduction
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (VS05) offers two models of web projects to its users. The project models are appropriately named – the Web Site Project (WSP) is suitable for web developers building web sites with (perhaps) some application functionality included, while the Web Application Project (WAP) is more suitable for application developers focusing on applications that happen to have web-based interfaces. Microsoft is committed to supporting both models into the future.

Noise Reduction Examples (Using Neat Image)

Neat Image is a tool that belongs in every digital photographer's collection. This program does an excellent job of removing noise from digital photographs and grain from scanned film photographs that are taken using high ISO settings. It's easy to use, and the results are outstanding. You can download Neat Image for free, as long as you don't use it for commercial purposes.

Following are a few photos taken by "Sleepy" John, a friend of mine from Manchester who's now living in Vienna and teaching English. The pictures were taken with a pocket Canon digital over the past few days (I'll ask him for the model number). The images displayed here have already been processed by Neat Image. Mouseover each image to see the unprocessed version. After each photo is a link to the full size processed and unprocessed image, so you can better see the difference made by Neat Image.
