How to get consumers to stop deleting cookies? Don't explain "how," but rather "what."
Everyone keeps complaining about cookies, and I'm tired of it. Moreover, the debate seems to be how to deal with first-party versus third-party cookies and other highly technical ideas users don't understand. Today, we'll look at a different way to approach the cookie problem, one based on what cookies are used for, not how they arrived on your computer.
Perhaps the biggest issue is users simply don't understand what cookies are and what they can (and can't) do. Plus, just when we thought we educated consumers enough, we started making highly technical differentiations between cookies: first and third party. To control how cookies are handled in Internet Explorer, one's confronted with a dialogue box that treats these cookie types separately, with no explanation of what they are.
In previous columns, we've talked about the need for a taxonomy to describe products. Using jewelry as an example, metadata in the taxonomy might include metal type (gold, silver), stone (diamond, sapphire), and karat. A similar taxonomy needs to exist for cookies. Once we differentiate cookies by their use and function, and not the technology underpinning them, we'll make headway in the war against cookie deletion. We will also give users an unprecedented amount of understanding and control. The OPS (define) and P3P (define) standards include a category that can be attributed to data, but these standards aren't specifically geared toward cookies.
Asking "What," Not "How"
Cookies are currently defined by how they arrive on your computer. Are they put there by the site you're visiting (first party), or does that site use a different site to generate the cookie (third party). This is a somewhat arbitrary distinction, because how the cookie lands on your computer says nothing about its purpose.
To contextualize a cookie, we must create a simple taxonomy for understanding a cookie's purpose. Here are a few simple examples:
These are just examples. A real taxonomy would be more robust and contain more in-depth information. If users understand the purpose of each cookie type, they'll fear them less. Further, they'll be able to determine which types of cookies they want to keep -- or not.
User Control
Once cookies are formalized into a taxonomy, browsers such as IE must change their front ends to enable users to determine how to respond to these cookie types.
Instead of asking (as it currently does) how the user wants to treat first- and third-party cookies, the browser can ask if they want to allow analytic cookies, login cookies, advertising cookies, and so on. Further, it would allow users to choose to delete a certain cookie type. If users want to delete all advertising cookies, they don't have to delete every cookie on their machines to do so.
Taking a Bite of the Cookie Problem
All this talk about first-party versus third-party expenses seems rather pointless to me. The technology behind cookies isn't the problem. Where a cookie comes from isn't the problem. No technology-centric means of controlling cookies will be correct for all cookies. We must stop looking at the technology and start looking at each cookie's context and purpose. Then we can create rules around how each cookie category is treated.
Thoughts? Let me know.
Until next time...

Potential first boat purchase
Hello everyone! I've been interested in sailing for quite sometime, and am finally at the point where I'm ready to "take the plunge" and buy a boat. I was hoping to get some advice on where to start. My sailing experience is limited to a dinghy course I took in RI a few years ago and then the ASA 101. I plan on taking the 103/104 combo class, as well as spending some hours with a one-on-one instructor.
My questions:
Should I go ahead and buy a relatively inexpensive boat now, do the course and then pay for an instructor to give lessons on my boat (option 1) or
Should I do the course, rent a boat for lessons, and then buy a bigger, pricier boat after I have become more proficient (option 2)?
Of course if I do the first, I'll have the added headache of trying to sell the first boat when I upgrade. OTOH, I'll have a better idea of what I like/don't like in a boat.
The wife likes to sail, but we have a three yr old as well as 8wk old triplets (yes, you read that correctly!!) so we will likely be limited to day-sailing or short overnight trips for a few years.
My current ceiling for spending is $80k
Even if I go with a nicer boat now, I will still be upgrading again at some point further down the road.
We will be sailing mostly out of Clear Lake, TX and Galveston Bay with perhaps some short trips down the TX Gulf Coast.
If I go with option 1, there is a 1967 Cheoy Lee 27' Cadet I've been looking at. Would this be a good boat for a novice sailor? Also, what would be a reasonable price for that boat in good condition? Thanks in advance

Wives!! What do they know!! Haha.
It wasn't so hard but starting with 2 floating clamps was a bit confusing, as I explained in my post in the stringing forum.
Now I understand what you are saying from the manual. Like you say can't do that on modern racquets and I won't try either.
Initially that's why I was interested in your glide clamp; then I could have two fixed clamps to do a modern string job i.e. mains starting in the middle and working symmetircally out. Still interested if you ever want to sell them. Can send them to Melbourne and I'll pick them up from there. But I understand you might want to keep the machine complete. No worries mate.
My plans is to do another badminton racquet and then try stringing an old Wilson aluminium tennis racket with some cheap strings....then it's my wife's Prince O3 white next. She's really the tennis player, not me. I'm just the cheap husband who don't want to fork out for stringing every month.
Thanks mate.

The past three years have been challenging for commercial lenders, particularly small community banks. Massive losses, occasioned by the collapse of the real estate markets for both commercial and residential properties, have eviscerated the balance sheets of many lending institutions. Many banks continue to labor under the burden of regulatory enforcement orders and balance sheets laden with non-performing assets. Provisions for loan losses depleted equity capital, in many cases to levels the regulators deem less than adequate. As a result, many banking institutions need to raise capital to comply with federal regulations, supervisory directives and enforcement orders.

"The designer edited the color design on the back to exactly what I asked and even offered another option to choose from. We have the back with Navy and Yellow and the colors look like natural paint. The paper thickness was nice as well, and we got our to look like a ticket. I got so many compliments about the design."

How To Requery Cascaded ComboboxDec 9, 2011
I use this portion ofcode to get combobox1&2 populated from an Access Database:[code]View 5 Replies
I use this portion ofcode to get combobox1&2 populated from an Access Database:[code]View 5 Replies
Any resolution to make the cascading dropdowns work as expected when used inside edit mode of AspxGridview. I am using DevExpress Controls.
My requirement is as follow:
If I select country="United States" then populate the "State" combobox and on selection of "State" populate the "City" combobox.
If I select "country" other then "United States" then populate only "City" combobox with cities of selected "country" and no need to populate the "State" combobox. Also I need to hide the "State" combobox. i.e. like
Country State City
ROW1 united states Alaska Douglas
ROW2 Canada Toronto
ROW3 Australia Sydeny
ROW4 united states California Yuba City
Same is required in Editmode also.
I am having problems deleting any rows from a cascaded DGV.Ā I get a run time error complaining that I am breaking a constraint almost as if LINQ is try to delete from the parent table. I have 2 DGVs on a form one displaying Species and the other all SubSpecies for the currently selected species and that works fine.
However when I try to delete a SubSpecies I get the following exception:- An attempt was made to remove a relationship between a Species and a SubSpecies. However, one of the relationship's foreign keys (SubSpecies.SpeciesID) cannot be set to null. At first I thought the error was raised by SQL server due to the Cascading Delete limitations on L2S but the error message for that is very different the DataContext.Log doesn't show any attempt to change the data.
The code used to bind the DGV's is as follows:-

I have Form1 based onĀTable1 with unique records per employee/position.Ā Form1 is used to updated position dates/active status/add new position info for an employee.Ā I have Form2 based on Table2 which has unique record per employee.ĀOn Form1, I have a combo box to select which employee's records to view in the detail section.Ā If I select a record from the combo box, the detail displays any existing records from Table1 for that employee.Ā If I need to add a new employee, a command button opensĀForm2 where new employee is added toĀTable2, andĀa new record is also inserted into Table1 with the employee name and ID.Ā When I close Form2 and return focus to Form1, my combo box is refreshed to display the employee just added, however I can't get the detail to show the new, partial record from Table1Āfor the new employee.Ā Form2 is a stand-alone (not a subform on Form1).I've tried hooking Requery to OnGotFocus, but that either doesn't work or isn't activated by returning focus via code.ĀI've tried adding a text box to the detail that contains the unique EmployeeNum and setting the control source of the text box to cboEE.Column(1) (which is the EmployeeNum bound column).Ā Am back to trying to do stuff in code after long absence and

I am using VB.NET together with ADO.NET to create a program. I have set my TableAdapters as needed and bound the correct tables-columns to my comboboxes.My problem though is this:My combobox2 item is bound to a datatable.

I ll put some code here to clarify it a bit more.Public Class Frm_inv
I have a tab control application, each tab loads a particular user control and each of those user controls will then add other user controls that are used amongst other the user controls.Ā For example, I have an "ucQuotes" page and an "ucInventory" page, when the specific tab is selected, the "uc****" user control is loaded on that page, and in the case of "ucQuotes" and "ucInventory" they both use a control called "ucPartNumber"; a user control consisting of a combobox, textbox, and button.Ā I have no issues reusing the shared user controls, in this case.Ā My problem arises with my "ucQuickPrice" control, as it is always present at the bottom of the tab control form (separate from the tabcontrol, but on the same form), and it too uses ucPartnumber.
Here's my issue, as I type into the ucPartnumber combobox, the text I type does not appear in the combobox, it appears in the textbox of the ucPartnumber control that is being used onĀthe tabcontrol page. There are no shared instances of ucPartNumber, nor do I have this issue between typing on one tab page and the text showing on the user control of another tab page.I tried just creating the ucPartNumber controls on the ucQuickPrice control, not adding a new instance of ucPartnumber on the .Load event, and the issue persists.Ā
The combobox(s) in question are bound programmatically with about 40,000 items, ".datasource = dataset.tablename" not to a bindingsource.Ā Autocomplete is set to none, I added code to utilize tool tips and the basic combobox filtering functionality.Ā Is this a bug, or is there something I'm neglecting? I'm about 95% complete with this application, and this just happened today.Ā I made the decision, to just reuse the ucPartNumber control on the ucQuickPrice control (originallly it's size and orientation would not fit, but I added some coding to detect what parent is adding ucPartNumber and to change its appearance accordingly).Ā Before, I made this change, I did not have this problem. And, in trying to go back to how I had things set up before the change, the problem will not go away. if the whole control within a control verbage I used is a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to better explain what is happening.Ā At this point, I'm going to close and reopen vbexpress, as when I started this ordeal, vb started acting weird and wanted me to save all my work, it usually does this before locking up.
I am new to vb.net and I am using visual studio 2010. I have two comboboxes on a form, each combobox is set to DropDownList so that a list of items can show in the combobox, but no text is allowed to be entered.
For combobox A, if user chooses item 1, the list of combobox B should be updated accordingly. I think this is quite common on a lot of applications. But I do not know to implement it. I even do not know the keyword to search for the relevant property or event handler.
I had added the items
3 to the combobox.
Then I gave the "Select" to the text of the combobox.
How can I able to reset combobox to select the text("Select").
I had tried by giving -1 to the SelectedIndex. But it gives only Empty.

I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:
How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?
Update 1: ButtonRenderer After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.
Update 2: What overwrites my control?I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.

I'm making a combobox on a form. I want the combobox to have a list of choices from a table in a db. The two columns are a String and a Date. I want the date column to only show the year. I'm hoping I have the code right as it is above, but I'm not positive I've done the whole date thing right.

I'm having a problem with combo boxes. I usually use Java and it's been awhile since I used VB but I never remember having this much difficulty.My application is using an SDF file. From Data Sources, I drag the details on one of my Tables to my Form to get all of the fields. Three of them are comboboxes. Each of the three is an INT64 and each corresponds to a primary key in a different table. I click the tasks button on a combobox and for data source I select the appropriate table that has the data to go with the combobox, for display member I select the field that I want users to see, and for value member I select the primary key. Then I run a quick test and start the app, open the form, and add a new record. When I select a value from the combobox the selection won't validate because it doesn't think it's an INT64 like it should be. It seems to be using the display member as the actual value instead because if I change display member to the primary everything works great.View 11 Replies View Related
have build some code which goes through the datasource finding records on what a user types, basically if the user types 'P' in the combobox it finds all records from FieldName with 'P' and if you type 'Portugal' it finds all records from the FieldName with 'Portugal, it all narrows down the search list say if there are to entries which match 'Portugal' the combox would only have to items in.ĀTheĀproblem i am have is that when i bound the datasource back to the combobox every letter you type stays at Postion 0 of the combobox andĀdoesn't move to the end of the letter asĀnormallyĀthe combo works, does any one now how to get arround this problem.
At the moment i call my combobox search code from the keypress event of the combobox.This code works fine with recordsets in msaccess combobox but i cannot get it to work with the datasource of the combobox in vb.net Heres the code from the combobox keypress event:
Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ComboSearch.KeyPress
Dim keyascii As Integer = AscW(e.KeyChar)
End Sub
Below is the code at the end of my keypress event send the datasource back to the combobox.

Brand new to VB 2008 Express, but have done some work in VB 6. Not sure what I'm missing, but here goes. I have two comboboxes linked to an Access 2007 database. One box lists the names of the States in the US.
This is what I used for the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard for the combobox "State" SELECT ST_UID, ST_NAME FROM STATE
For the combobox County I used: SELECT ST_UID, CTY_NAME FROM COUNTY ST_UID is an Integer.
I created a label with a bound value to STATE.ST_UID so that when a user selects the name of a state from the State box the appropriate ST_UID populates the label, (i.e, California has an ST_UID = 5).
The problem is when a state is selected, I only want the Counties for that state to appear in the County box, i.e, COUNTY.ST_UID = 5 if California is the selected state.
I then tried to convert the value in the st_uid label to an integer:
This is what I last tried when again using the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard for the table that populates the County box: SELECT ST_UID, CNTY_NAME FROM COUNTY Where ST_UID = 'StUID' Order By st_uid, cnty_name
What I'm getting is a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." I'm sure my error is something so simple.

I have a form in my vb.net application used to take the data about the returned stock. The form contains two comboboxes. One, named combobox5, contains invoice numbers and the other, named combobox3, contains party codes. Both the comboboxes are pre_loaded using sqldataadapter.
Now what i want is to change the party code in combobox3 when the invoice number is changed in combobox5. Elaborating it further, When Stock is issued the party code is stored along with the invoice number to keep track of to which party was the stock issued. Now when stock is returned i want to keep track that which party has returned the stock and i want that the party code should be automatically selected when the invoice number is changed and it should be what is stored in the database against that particular invoice number....
I'm using the following code for doing so:

I am having issues when trying to populate a combobox that is dependent on another combobox. Populating the first combobox works as expected but attempting to set the value member or display member properties of the first combo box cause its selected index changed event to fire. That event seems to fire before the first combobox is fully loaded. The issue is then raised when trying to populate the second combo box, since it is dependent on having a valid value member to complete the dynamic sql statement, and at that point in time, there is no value member.
I can'┐Įt imagine that this is difficult but searching hasn'┐Įt yielded me any results. Should I be using a different event? What is the right way to do this?
I have a simple workaround in place - not allowing the second combo box to attempt to populate unless the first combobox has an index greater than zero but this hack is no good since it clearly prevents the user from selecting the first element in the first combo box.
Private Sub SpecialsForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

As the sun sets, you can walk out to the luxurious balcony, featuring a swinging couch and beautiful 270 degree views of the Newport Coast. After going downstairs, you can enjoy a barbeque on the full sized barbeque, or enjoy the quiet California evening next to one of the three firepits, or even the tri-sectioned fireplace. Turn on the flat screen television next to the pool and jacuzzi to see a football match after swimming, or seat yourself in the covered seating area to enjoy a glass of wine from the outdoor bar. Dazzle your guests by turning on the under the bench fiber optic lighting, or illuminate one of the three smaller water fountains on the side of the house.
After the festivities have slowed, you can retire to the king sized canopy bed for the night, or gaze at the stars from the balcony.

I did not say that the game wasn't broken in some ways in Vanilla times. But one way in which the game has been worse since the first expansion:
1 pvp geared character can kill almost any number of non-maxxed characters. 5, 10, 15... maybe if they formed a raid and the guy stood still for them? Before the first expac a bunch of lowbies could fight off a max level assassin stomping lowbies (not just because of exploits - gear and stats weren't much higher on most at top level in Vanilla). Since the first expansion those lowbies need a bodyguard on call because the max level characters became invulnerable Mac trucks. That disparity killed world pvp in the lowbie areas and I do miss it. It was an element of leveling and a perk of being on pvp server - much more exciting.

Bear in mind things like sap and sheep lasted 30 seconds + in those days (which was dumb) and was undefendable (also dumb) so level 10s could take max levels out of a fight for a long time if they knew what they were doing. And the warzone junkies and hardcore raiders were much more rare or nonexistant. Even long after the warzones were introduced I remember explaining to groups of people how the pvp trinket worked (on a pvp server). Most players were much less informed than the average player is now; the average player in those days (many of us) did not notice all of the flaws that we call horribly daft gamebreaking oversights nowadays. That's just how it is.

I'm curious, what was the last Sci FI show or movie that had that stand off? I can't think of one off-hand although I am sure I've seen it before.
And contrary to whatever you're experiences may tell you, there are chicks out there that are in a hurry to have sex (some make sure it is with the right guy, some don't). It's ironic that you're complaining that we've seen too many stagecoach standoffs on one hand while also being confused by something that we haven't seen too much of.

The missing chat window is the bad part of the game for me. I don't know how they can fix that with console players running around because they can't all type.
I'm 25 or 30 hours in and I love how much better this is than most mmos - vehicles move fast, critters have AI and attack ranges are long. Also, no trinity. For me this is much closer to a next Gen MMO after EQ1 than Wow or GW2 or SWTOR. Assuming their cash shop doesn't try to nickel and dime me, I'll likely be playing this for awhile.

I called it. At least they're owning the issue, addressing it quickly and trying to fix it which is more than I can say for them about some of their previous efforts with pvp changes. But still, this update has cost them most of their remaining credibility points with me. For the first time in over a year I'm looking seriously at other games. I've backed up SWTOR in the past but there are just too many ill-conceived and sloppy executions - it's like they are trying to get rid of pvpers...

Even after they fix a bunch of things tonight, I am pretty sure that bolstered endgame pve gear will still be better than the best pvp gear outside of world pvp as some are saying it is now.
Why is there NO humor at all ?
Reviews & Impressions « Star Wars: The Old Republic
A: "Kira, join the dark side!" (changed the wording to prevent spoilers)
K: "I'd rather jump out an airlock naked!"
The line was well delivered at a tense moment in the story and was very funny.
The Huttball announcers were also funny the first 50 or so times.
Some of the ds scenes can be morbidly hilarious.
But I do agree that this game is a bit more serious than it should be most of the time compared to, say, WOW.
Obsidian looking to return to making Star Wars games .. could this be Star Wars MMORPG #3?

SWTOR requires both skill and gear - if you don't have both of them you're going to lose hard and fast to someone else that does.
But there's also team coordination (which plays into the skill requirement) - if you've got someone guarding you, bubbling/healing you and taunting your attackers your healthbar isn't going to go down much, even from the bursty specs out there. Even recruit characters will be fine with that kind of support. And even fully maxxed war heroes can get focus fired and stun/killed in a handful of seconds.
The level 1-49 can be fun for not-so-great players because it is full of a variety of gear and skill levels and most of the coordinated teams are in the 50 bracket. I have a level 47 twinked focus sentinel (with ~200 expertise even) and I have lots of fun stomping people with it occasionally.
In my first level 50 game with a fresh 50 (my 4th 50 but no legacied comm gear and no guildies backing me) a couple weeks ago I got not-so-high damage but 3 solo kills using my recruit - a little later that day I did get top damage for my team a couple times. It _is_ a bit rough but it's supposed to be: without the gear grind I promise SWTOR would have no wzs at all (other than pre 50).
Reviews vs reality check and the F2P future
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
On every topic there are many players with different ideas about how things should work and players with completely different perspectives on what "most players want". You won't go far "listening to the players" - as far as I'm concerned BW listened too much to players that wanted another Wow (whether they knew they were asking for that or not, many posters were).
On msg boards I could easily get a consensus right now saying swtor's pvp doesn't have enough cc, space missions are awesome, everyone should start at level 50 with max gear and VO can be the most important part of an MMO.
Many bad calls in this game that I've heard about have been "because beta tester's said so".
You couldn't get a consensus of players on many boards saying "sandbox features are worthwhile" or "down with the trinity" because most don't know what you mean and/or can't imagine such games. Letting a majority of players determine/drive a feature list is a bad idea.
Even with SWTOR going FTP..............

Star Wars has 10's of millions of fans. I believe that the problem with SWTOR is that there's no good reason for a non-MMO fan to play it. PC Combat is clunky compared to other Star Wars games and space combat is lacking and not multiplayer. The only things left are the MMO grind in pvp that doesn't make sense (War Zones/BGs can be fun but can't be explained to a RPer and the healing dynamic can't be explained to an FPSer) and the MMO grind in PVE (lots of people gather around giant robots/monsters and whack away). While the stories are nice this is an MMO first and it has all of the MMO warts that turn off most sane people. I'm playing and basically liking SWTOR but I wouldn't recommend it to any non-MMOer - I won't even admit I play it to any non-MMOer.
I believe that content-based MMO's for sane people will keep them playing for a few hours a month and not inspire them to quit their day jobs or otherwise reward the hardcore junkies first and foremost. And they will overcome the combat limitations that Verant built their first MMO around; combat should be built around off/def maneuvers to get a solid hit with a decent weapon/spell (that ends a fight), not whittling down an opponent's health bar with dozens (or more) of mortal-looking strikes/blasts. Ironically, the makers of SWTOR's Hero Engine, Simutronics, also made a text game with a combat system that is much more theatrical than any MMO I have seen so far.
New Interview clear as mud. (No not a multi-user dungeon)

My summation:
Q: Will F2P work with SWTOR (most questions were a variation of that)?
A: Based on market research and basic logic, we believe that it will but don't know for sure.
How could they know for sure? What promises can they make? Of course they believe what they're saying but if anything, MMos have proven to be a very unpredictable market.

To the people calling SWTOR a financial failure/flop: where are you getting your numbers from?
The game isn't as successful as 1 or 2 other MMOs, yes, and it doesn't do what many players on forums like these seem to "need". But those factors do not a "flop" make, right?
Questionable sever transfer information

They didn't actually stop transfers yesterday - I was able to transfer characters at various times all night yesterday - they just stopped opening up more servers to the service and sent us a patch last night.
The "disaster" is that they waited until <1 week before releasing the service to tell players anything about it and what they did tell us led us to believe that many if not most would have transfers available yesterday (or at least a full list of origin/destination servers with a timetable). Instead we got a very short list of servers and assurances that it would be updated over the span of "days and not weeks" so we should keep checking the site (which wasn't actually updated properly when new servers were first added to the transfer list). Most players still don't know if they're an origin or a destination and that's very frustrating.

<< Transfers are now live but so far they are a joke. Only 4 servers listed as available to transfer from on the US servers so far. >>
Wow... I'm sure they're starting conservatively but that is a VERY conservative and underwhwelming list.
