Hi there. I want to report a bug on IE (6 & 7, and probably 8 when it comes). Assume you're developing a web site named MySite, that has a Funtionality aspx page with a button that loads a 'report' aspx page in a popup window named MyReport.aspx from a reports sub dir from the web app's root URL htpp://ServerName/MySite/Functionality.aspx hit report button and get to see report via url: htpp://ServerName/MySite/reports/MyReport.aspx You test locally on localhost, do system integration testing on that server, and user acceptance testing on another server, production acceptance testing on yet another server, and finally get the thing running on the final production server machine. So the URLS become: htpp://localhost/MySite/reports/MyReport.aspx htpp://SITServerName/MySite/reports/MyReport.aspx htpp://UATServerName/MySite/reports/MyReport.aspx htpp://PATServerName/MySite/reports/MyReport.aspx htpp://ProductionServerName/MySite/reports/MyReport.aspx Now for the bug: If you switch between urls to see the report in each environment, the information is corrupted in a single move between any of the environments. IE somehow allows previously viewed URLs, regardless of what server they come from, contaminate each other. To avoid not seeing contaminated data, or just plain IE errors, you have to clear your cache and history entirely before viewing a different environment's results for the report. This is very frustraiting. The 'report' could be data in a datagrid, results of a sql select, bound to controls in a separate window, or other bound data. Any similar findings? Comments? GaltSalt.

I have a 2gb Sandisk Cruzer Titanium drive that I have ReadyBoost enabled on it.* Anyhow, it seems like after a few hours/days the drive just completely disappears from My Computer. *I thought maybe it was a just a bug so I installed Vista SP1 and the same thing still happens. Is anyone else using readyboost?* Does this happen to you.* It could be a faulty usb thumbdrive.* If I uplug the drive and plug it back in everything works fine for a while.* One time after about an hour of use, the drive felt very warm to the touch.* Do you think overheating*might be the issue? Any ideas? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I've noticed a huge surge in the number of phishing emails ending up in my spambox lately. Each time I go to the relevant banks website and hunt around for the relevant report phishing link and forward the email. Is it worth doing this? Do the banks take any notice or act upon these emails? Do they try and get the servers/domains that host the phishing sites shut down? Do they pass the details onto federal authorities? Or is it a better use of my time to just ignore and delete these emails? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Hey Niners, I have recently been to the local (Romanian) "Heroes happen {here}" event. It was realy awsome and you'd better not miss it when it hits your community. At the end was that every attender was offered a few Vista SP1 Ultimate license. It's very good, though it has some limitations. As it was explained, due to licensing purposes, it will only be available for one year. After that, you can still use it... though I don't know under what licensing agreement. And the second problem is that the DVD inlcuded is the 32-bit edition. I was wandering where I could download the 64-bit ISO as I'm using 8GB RAM on my main machine? Right now I have a Vista Business 64-bit installed and I was unable to change the registration key from Control Panel / System and then install the aditional Ultimate features. Probably the key only works on a SP1 clean install :s Would the key work on my RTM x64 Disc and use Windows Update to get SP1? Thanks, Ovi More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Okay, I've been battling with this problem for a while. If you have an offer from one of the biggest consulting company in the world to join them, but to do so means you'll have to go to India for undefinite time (officially. but, some says its for about one to one and a half years). And being paid with India-based level salary (to me that would like fourth/fifth from what I get right now). Would you take it? Considering you're still young (hey, I'm still in my mid 20s) and meaning that maybe you're going to put everything that you have been worked for the last 3 and a half years to build your life and reach this level of stability in a foreign country that you love so much to jeopardy? Would you still take it? Help! Any input please... :$ Btw, I like the possibilities that I can get with this offer, but*I can't leave my home (Japan)*forever. Actually that's what I'm worrying about, leaving Japan for good. I hope it doesn't come to that point though.[C] If anyone have any experience with this whole thing of going to India, please share it .:) More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Dynamic languages are becoming more popular than ever. Static runtimes (static type system is*baked into the machine)*like the CLR do not natively support languages that have no requirement for explicit types. Implementing languages of this class on the CLR is a rather complicated and arduous task. Some very clever folks like Program Manager,*RubyCLR creator*and IronRuby team member John Lam and Senior Software Developer Martin Maly (creator of the LOLCode programming language implementation*that runs on the DLR, but more importantly one of the devs who writes the DLR) are on the team that makes implementing dynamic languages that can run*on top of the CLR not only possible but easier than one might expect. This is made possible with a new managed virtual machine called the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). The DLR runs on top of the CLR, but you can think of the DLR as it's own managed runtime (or virtual machine). For this interview, it is assumed that you have working knowledge of what the CLR does. This interview focuses deeply on one core question: How does the DLR work. Of course, we talk about the history and future of the DLR, but primarily we find out about DLR nuts and bolts and architecure. This interview is whiteboard heavy and compelling. It was really fun to chat with John and Martin and geek out on the DLR. It is a great technology with a very bright future. Enjoy! Low res file here.

Leveraging Free The sweet irony of the success of free software is that little of it was written for profit. Most of it was written simply to solve practical problems. The result is an endless abundance of highly practical and easily copied (or, in RMS's terms, shared) building materials from which anything can be made, quickly and easily.
