Microsoft ofera alegerea browser-ului pentru utilizatorii IE

Milioane de utilizatori europeni al Internet Explorer-ului, vor avea optiunea ca sa aleaga un browser alternativ incepand cu intai Martie, conform Microsoft.
Aceasta actiune a Microsoftului se datoreaza unei hotarari judecatoresti din Decembrie 2009, dintre Microsoft si a Comisiei de Competitie din Europa.
Microsoft a promis ca va lasa utilizatorii Windows PC din intreaga Europa sa instaleze browser-ul ales de ei, in loc de a avea Microsoft IE implicit.
Statisticile ne arata ca mai mult din jumatate dintre utilizatorii de internet folosesc IE.
Testarile deja sunt incepute in Marea Britanie, Belgia si Franta.
Update-ul de alegere va veni in curand, automat pentru clientii: Windows XP, Windows Vista si Windows 7; conform blog post-ului al lui Dave Heiner, vice presedintele Microsoft.
Utilizatori care vor primi mesajul de alegerea browser-ului vor putea alege un browser alternativ, sau sa ramana cu cel instalat deja pe sistem.
Lista de browsere alternative va contine: Google Chrom, Firefox, Safari si Opera.
Milioane de oameni care pana acum nici nu s-au gandit ce browser sa foloseasca, acum vor fi fortati sa aleaga. Acest lucru este o oportunitate mare de marketing, pentru rivalii Microsoft pe plan de browsere.
Presedintele Fundatiei Mozilla Mitchel Baker si-a exprimat opinia in legatura cu aceasta stire: "este un mare pas spre ajutarea oamenilor pentru a prelua controlul asupra vietii lor online".

In sfarsit, oamenii care n-au avut nici o data tangenta cu calculatoarele sau internetul, acum vor afle din prima clipa despre softurile alternative !
Tu ce parere ai ?

    Firefox, old habits :)
    Nu ma pot desparti de el.
    Daca nu gasesc tool-urile folosite de mine la locul lor, ma enervez si aprind o tigara, asa mai bine raman la firefox si consum mai putine tigari :))

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
