People keep falling for the same trap over and over again:

Stallman warned of the dangers of using BitKeeper for the kernel and nobody took him seriously until they had to freeze kernel development to come up with Mercurial and Git. Now Stallman warns of C# and again people do not take him seriously - there is nothing about Tomboy notes that requires mono and couldn't be done just as easily in java given that we have a FREE implementation of java (and it was java which originally 'inspired' c#). M$ did try to screw Linux already with their SCO trial so there is no reason why we shouldn't assume that their intentions are malicious in this case as well.

Please move on to a Linux forum where your religious zealotry will be unquestioned. I could care less about Stallman. I think the sky is green and there are lepracauns on every hill. Discuss.

Looks like it has been pulled. Can't say I'm too surprised, they're more or less giving away Vista and Office to anyone who can fill in a form...

 

Instead of the standard you must have a pulse and attend a cult meeting. (roadshow or release event)

Not knocking it. But it is pretty easy getting one new copy of software if you keep your eyes peeled.

I know I know cult meeting makes it sound bad but you can't beat the free shoes and purple kool aid-- its delicious.

warning!  Car analogy starting in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

In a recent radio program I heard a business analyst stating that the car market had dropped for the 'middle market' cars: people were either buying cars they really needed (cheap) or cars they really wanted (expensive).  The middle section of the market has been the worst hit.

I think this is relevant to the PC\Apple markets -- Apple make products that people want which is why they will continue to pay over the odds compared to a PC, while netbooks provide the cheap end of the market.  Everyone I know is buying one or the other.

No its not really ok, table element is for tables of data, not tables of layout. It's certainly doable using the right elements and style.

They already have something close for AV:
http://www.belkin.com/pressroom/releases/uploads/07_10_08FlyWire.html

The downsides I see for your idea are:

It's expensive, based on the price of that item above (assume they aren't just trying to gouge people, this is Belkin after all). It only goes up to 1080P. I don't know if this is  technology/bandwidth limitation, or one of target market.

Note that the transmitter is the big part. Where are you going to fit that in a laptop? What kind of drain on the battery will that be? And if you're going to plug it into a base unit for power and access to a transmitter, why not just use a traditional docking station at that point?

Some counter thoughts:
If a cell phone can transmit to cell tower why can't a laptop reach a transciever 30 feet away power efficiently.

Everything is cost prohibitive for the first couple generations.

Its a bigger software issue than hardware issue. I am sure today through blue tooth or wireless we can send the signals. Making it so the whole experience is seemless to the user and just works takes a while. (Remember plug and pray back in 95/98 days?)

One of the keys software scenarios is making sure all USB devices connected to the monitor talk through this technology too. (an example of where the current technology is lacking.)

This of course is coming looking at some of the Surface demo. I just don't think they have been thinking of it in the general use case. (with existing displays)

I think this is more important than the multi touch technology to get right.

Docking stations are proprietary. New laptop new docking station unless you somehow luck out. I am talking about a standard like USB that everyone uses and is supported by Windows as a feature like Plug and play was. Think about the media center extensibility here. You TV could be aware of the laptop and vice versia and you could say hey look at this guys type UX.

Think of it as your personal area network.

var username = $('#username').attr("value");

var password = $('#password').attr("value");

var isPersistent = false;

var customInfo = null;

var redirectUrl = $.jqURL.get('ReturnUrl');

Sys.Services.AuthenticationService.login(

username,

password,

isPersistent,

customInfo,

redirectUrl,

loginCompleted,

loginFailed);

You know how SMTP works, right? Anyone can send an email claiming to be from anyone. That's why SPF and SenderID were created.

It occasionally happens to me. Spambots trawl the web and usenet for harvestable email addresses then send email claiming to be from those addresses. Since those addresses are used by real people (and not randomly generated) it means basic spam-protection (like DNS lookup to ensure a sending domain exists) can't protect against these attacks.

Sicne you say it's web-based I'm assuming you're with one of the larger providers like Hotmail or Gmail. They already have SPF/SenderID working, so the number of NDR bouncebacks you're getting is less than it could be if they didn't. Nothing you can do about it unfortunately, unless you feel you can remove your email address from the searchable web. It'd be easier to get a new address and start-over.

You might need to get a new USB connector wire for your hard-drive.

In either case, if you have only one copy of your data, you're asking for problems. When you next get access to your data, ensure you have a backup of everything you don't want to lose to an ONLINE repository.

Remember - if your apartment gets torched, you'll lose your laptop AND your hard-drive, and if you don't plan for the worst, you WILL be taken unawares - it's merely a question of WHEN.

have you tried using fiddler to see what happens when you open the web page and enter the data by hand?

if not then do that and make sure you are doing the right steps....

I have written some stuff in the past that did web automation and it can be tricky to get it right.

for example I do not see any cookies in your sample, does google send any?
and you may need to set the referer to say that you are responding to a google page...

sveral small details like that....

It's funny how people can, in one breath, talk about how IE is a dying browser and Firefox and Chrome are mutilating it in market share, brag about record numbers of downloads, and then in the next breath say the mere existence of IE in a Windows installation somehow makes everyone too stupid to know that Firefox even exists.

Having it both ways rocks.

In order for .NET Framework 4.0 to be included with Windows 7, it'd have to be more or less ship-ready in two months.  Given that there's only been one CTP released, and as a VHD image instead of as an installer, it's not likely that they're that close to being finished everything they want to nail down for 4.0.

What's far more likely is that 4.0 will be included with Server 2008 R2, which is where a sizable chunk of the most interesting stuff that's included with 4.0 is going to be most used.

Congratulations new troll!

Love, regular Channel9 users

I think this type of thing should be posted to your Twitter or Blog. But I think posting it here does not make a troll.

IE is losing the browser fight slowly but surely. If they can't make IE 8 a great success this trend is sure to continue.

Microsoft  needs to finally realizes IE is not viable on only OSs in their marketing strategy it will continue to falter. Obviously it takes a force outside Microsoft to get them to realize that so good on the EU. To get Microsoft to listen to anything you have to use a big enough stick I hope the fines continue. You have to give  them a convincing reason to change.

I think the question is not whether but when Microsoft will open up its browser. Will it take dropping to 50% market share, 25% market share, its anyone's guess.

I predict we should expect great things from Google Chrome. Having two viable competitors (15% market share or more) would make Microsoft work that much harder.
