One more bug in Microsoft's account

This morning while logging into my machine I encountered the below issue(?). Microsoft Windows - Found New Hardware Wizard dialog - without "OK" or "Cancel" buttons.

The word behind this Dialog is "QUALITY" ;-).

A very good example on Small mistakes, and their imapct on application

Yesterday we went to MySchools office. A big discussion was going on some database locking issue. It's interesting, their problem is application able to process two transaction successfully, from the third it is locking the table and execution is getting failed with timeout error. We asked to open the code, and we verified further. Finally I found the cause.  Close statement is missing in the code.  :-)

The Code which helped me to resolve the issue



private void OnPostInfoClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string strId = UserId_TextBox.Text;
string strName = Name_TextBox.Text;

ASCIIEncoding encoding=new ASCIIEncoding();
string postData="userid="+strId;
postData += ("&username="+strName);
byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(postData);

// Prepare web request...
HttpWebRequest myRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/MyIdentity/Default.aspx");
myRequest.Method = "POST";
myRequest.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
myRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
Stream newStream=myRequest.GetRequestStream();
// Send the data.
newStream.Write(data,0,data.Length);
newStream.Close();
}

# - Special Character in Google Search


I am a Tester/End User, I'll expect what I want/my requirement not what the product/software is giving to me. In my usage I don't bother about "software limitations" or "Not an issue" kind answers...:-)


Today I tried the below scenario and I felt like It should not work like this. I am not sure how many will agree with me.

Open Browser, Launch Google.
Type C# Tutorial.

Check the Dynamic Search Results window...:-)
