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...
