no significant reason. I went to the microsoft site seeking information only to get a message that silverlight was required. I have had a few significant problems with microsoft 'upgrades and improvements' so I looked elsewhere. I didn't expect the school ratings I was looking for to be on the microsoft web page anyhow. In addition I found a non silverlight version or at least part of it on another page.

IMHO, Silverlight has caused a positive improvement in the MS Site Layout.
I suggest you get it

I am surprised by his attitude. I access MSDN from a PC which does not have administrative rights and quarantined. But given the privileges, one soul does not want the (silver) light. Is this what they call 'One man's meat is another's poison?'

Well, Microsoft DOES have a negative reputation for most....
A few questions....
Do you use Vista?
Do you leave Windows Update On?
Are you using IE?
Are you using Outlook?

I have just completed my MBA (Systems) in Distance Learning mode from Alagappa University (http://www.alagappauniversity.ac.in/[^])
I am just thinking of doing a Ph. D. topic now. A few of my friends were advising that a Ph. D. would then make oneself turn into academic career again rather than in software.
But I feel that we gain a good knowledge of deeper research if we choose up a good topic. At least from India, I feel that the life in a software field packed with envy and jeolousy does not give a complete peace of mind. But at the same time, as time progresses, switching to an academic line, it gives a greater mental satisfaction of lighting more candles and illuminating the ambience.
Let me know about your views too.
Tip: I originally posted in the Lounge since I believed that should be a more generic forum but subsequently chose to move it here since this is more befitting on the topic. Furthermore, there is a little 'against in academic' topic running in Lounge currently.

You can have an academic career in Software.
You can always hide the fact you have a Ph.D. if you think it is ultimately detrimental.

Eventually, after a period of five years, I am just planning to enter into academic career in full. At least in India, the speed/pace of coding and development which gallops during the starting period then enters a snail's pace.

The environment in India wouldn't be that straight-forward as in your region. I might be low-voted for being an extra-frank though. But the amount of politics that prevails saddens an ethical heart.

I admit. Also, it also stands testimony to our abilities on how efficiently we are able to manage through (wade through) the political turbulences that we are thrown at.

If your worried about politics, I can assure you that the academic sector is second only to parliament.
The thought of working in an enviroment where a piece of paper gains you more respect than your teaching ability, and/or actual knowledge sickens me.
On the positive side. If you enjoy research, working at a university may (with board approval) give you the time and resources to pursue topics that interest you.

Not necessarily true. I know a hand full of PhD's who still go on with a software engineering/developer career.

Hi,
I was just wondering, what the typical atmosphere a developer in California can expect? Are most developer/programmer jobs in California (the San Fransisco or Bay area) relaxed where there is a work life balance or is it more of a "your life belongs to the company" atmosphere?

I believe it is the organization you are associated with dictates this.

We have an asp.net 2.0 intranet web application that provides a listing of the files on our file server. This intranet site runs on the same server as the files. Everyone has access to these files via the W:/ drive. So the issue we're trying to fix is that we want a user to be able to click on a link within the application to a local file on the file server (instead of having to download it) as the files can be quite large. We tried using a basic link = file///w:/test.zip but there are security issues with the browser. What is the best way to get around this?

Wouldn't this qualify for the ASP.NET or Web Development forum rather?

People wouldn't trust this post for the simple reason that it does not contain the company website or profile besides using a FREE Webmail service which any Tom, Dick or Harry can pick it up. This assumes mammoth importance at least during now, with fake passport rackets, godmen and gold rackets are being busted open by the police.

You don't know HoTMaiL's history, do you?? It used to be only the biggest source/target of spam in history. To this day, the domain isn't trusted by anyone who knows of it's past.
