Pure Energy Systems video Written on September 16, 2007, by akafazov.

Pure Energy Systems (pesn.com) is also a great source of information on the latest discovery in science in areas like alternative fuels, zero point energy, anti-gravity motors, etc. This is the kind of stuff you won’t see on the news and [...]

Closing TCP connection in .NET 2.0 Written on September 5, 2007, by akafazov.
I was writing a .NET 2.0 module which open a TCP connection and then closed it on per request basis. I noticed that the connection was not being closed after calling the TcpClient.Close() method.
