I ran into a minor issue today: I wanted to create a subdirectory under my ASP.NET web application's bin directory, but none of my ASPX pages could access anything within it.

We waited in line for an hour (and we already had tickets) just to get into the auditorium:
I've been searching for this book for a long time. I read it sometime in high school, but had since forgotten what it was called.
For the past three or four years, I've tried remembering the book's name with no luck. On occasion, I would even try a Google search of content I remembered from the book, hoping to stumble across a summary of some sort or a posting by a fan of the book.
