Statutul nonprofit al lui Mozilla este secretul cresterii


In Mai fiecare browser major: Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome au castigat teren fata de Microsoft Internet Explorer, care a pierdut 1%, conform acestor date.
Cel mai mare procentaj la castigat Firefox fiind cotat la 22.51, iar in Europa 48% fata de restul browserelor care au avut cresteri minime.

Secretul cresterii lui Mozilla Firefox ? Banii, conform presedintelui Mozilla, Mitchell Baker conform interviului sau de la "Things Digital Conference":
"Mozilla nu poate avea succes cu o orientare pro-profit. Avem succes datorita statutului nostru curent."

Aceasta declaratie poate fi interpretata in mai multe feluri, dar cea mai potrivita ar fi dependenta de comunitate al lui Mozilla, iar acea comunitate este motivata sa contribuie deoarece Mozilla este pentru beneficiul publicului, dedicat sa nu obtina beneficii materiale ci sa imbunatateasca felul in care oamenii folosesc internetul.

Acest model de succes urmareste si Linux Fundation la fel ca si Eclipse Fundation, ambele avand un mare succes. Acest model a fost si va fi urmarit de catre Firefox, motivand Baker.

Fara nici un dubiu Mozilla Firefox va deveni platforma web dominanta a lumii. Pe de alta parte sunt cei doi giganti, Microsoft cu Internet Explorer si Google cu Chrome, care vor avea cateva cuvinte de spus in privinta asta.

Sanitizer provider is not configured in the web.config file. Ajax Control Toolkit and HtmlEditorExtender problems.

The Problem Today I had a hard 2 hours, and if you have found this blog post, I bet we are in the same shoes. I was working on a ASP .NET + windows azure project, and I needed the HtmlEditorExtender   control from the Ajax Control Toolkit . I was lucky to find a control for my needs. So far so good. I've installed the toolkit with NuGet Package manager, it added a reference to the assembly to my web.config. I've used the following code where I needed the HtmlEditorExtender: < ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager runat ="Server" /> < asp:TextBox ID ="txtComments" TextMode ="MultiLine" Columns ="60" Rows ="8" runat ="server" /> < ajaxToolkit:HtmlEditorExtender TargetControlID ="txtComments" runat ="server" /> </ asp:Content > Just to see how this control works. As you can bet ajaxToolkit is the refe

DataTable to TreeView in C#, Displaying Hierarchies

In this article I will show you how to display hierarchies in a TreeView control, when your data is in a DataTable. In this example we have an Employee table with 3 columns: ID, ParentID and Name. ParentID is the ID of the boss for the current Employee. The first step is to sort the table by the ParentID . This step is really important because we cannot insert a node in the tree until it's parent is not inserted. Notice the root of the tree having a ParentID of -1. Here is the code for this: The second step is to use a XmlDocument. The TreeView control does not have the functionality to find an arbitrary node given a node ID. A recursive find function seems to be too much hassle, not to mention the performance, so I decided to take advantage of the XPath search capabilities of XmlDocument to find a given Parent node. Here is the code for this: The third step is to hook up our data to the TreeView. If you try to bind the TreeView control to an XmlDocument you w

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 50: ordinal not in range(128)

Disclaimer: I'm not a python developer :) Yesterday I've found a tool that I needed, it was written in python. Nothing special, get a list of links from a csv, login to a page, and access a link from the opened page by match. The script was old(2 years), and it needed some refinement, but I managed to make it work to start griding my over 7000 links, after 30 minutes later I saw it crashed with a strange error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 50: ordinal not in range(128) I've started to investigate the issue, found some information on stackoverflow, but I was confused, I don't really know python that well. What I've found is to make some changes in the config files from python, which I don't really know how to do and it was not recommended, or to use decode('utf-8') function on the string variable and usage that caused the issue. As you can see in the full error log, listed down below, I tra
