Is this a freak occurrence?
NO! It is a very common occurrence. It is a well-known error. One person has had to file over 100 disputes for mistaken bird sounds. For some reason Google is reluctant to fix this so companies like rumblefish take advantage of it to gain fraudulent income (google makes something also).
Companies registering reference file with the CID are required to manually review any disputed video but rumblefish is one of many companies who just automatically confirm the content regardless of how ridiculous the match is.
@app - Their new platform is quite impressive. Interesting what they had to say about Hitachi drives too. Can't get more of a real world test than what these guys are doing.
Speaking to a few of my cronies, we're thinking crazy thoughts about massive storage like they're doing combined with machines running something like myCloud (see below.) I'm not surprised myCloud has since been acquired by Citrix. Fortunately it was built on an open source platform so it's still available as a free download.
Right now almost all the pieces are in place. There's affordable massive storage technology, open source server and desktop operating systems and software...so all that's needed is a good replacement for the public IPaddress and DNS system (new protocol maybe?) and we'd be at the point where we could implement our very own alternative Internet. Bwahahahahaha!!!

Backblaze
Tried it today. Maybe it's a cheap solution but for an advanced or pro user this isn't probably the way to go. You can exclude folders / drives but it's a cumbersome task if you have a nested folder structure and want to sync several folders inside this structure.
It is _really_ not possible to reverse it and say: Only include these specified folders that I want to sync, no matter what.-highend01 (February 16, 2012, 01:07 PM)
I've got most of our high backup volume clients set up for either Carbonite or Backblaze.
I've been happy with both services.
Everybody knows about Carbonite. Backblaze is a little different in the way it works from most. It's more a continuous mirroring rather than a traditional backup/sync service (although it can be set up to do a scheduled standard backup if you prefer), so definitely visit their website for full details. They'll provide you with a free 15-day trial to see if it works for you. For general backup use I slightly prefer Backblaze. Especially now that they've added support for backing up VMs. Datasheet here. And having the option to have them send a DVD or a drive to restore from is a major plus for me. Sure beats pulling half a terabyte of data down the wire during a major restore.
I'm not too up on what the exact performance is for either of these two services. They're more than fast enough for what we're doing.

So I'll need to buy another hard drive just for Calibre?
Does it at least give you the option not to put all of that on your OS drive?-app103 (February 15, 2012, 10:13 AM)
eBooks aren't all that big, so it's a reasonable choice to take a copy of them into it's library tree, rather than try & track changes that would occur if it just tried to reference them 'outside'. I've currently only got just over 1000 books in mine, and the library around 912MB (Mostly ePub, rather than PDF though).
One advantage not mentioned is that using Stanza on the iPad or the browser on a Kindle, I can access them wirelessly via Calibre's server & WiFi!
It does allow you to choose where to place the library (and to have more than 1 if desired), including moving an existing library tree around.-gwynevans (February 15, 2012, 02:09 PM)
@app103:[/b] The version of Calibre I am using does not move anything around, but copies (duplicates) your documents (Word and PDF) into a folder, and changes the filenames a bit:
Example: C:\Users\[User]\Calibre Library\[Author ID]\Document file name.ext-IainB (February 14, 2012, 10:47 PM)

Does anyone know if XYPlorer, or any file manager for that matter, can intercept calls to "c:\" out of the run dialog, or other shell events?-Josh (February 11, 2012, 02:18 PM)
(Vista actually introduced the 256x256 icons. On XP, the typical max. size was 48x48.)-vlastimil (February 11, 2012, 12:15 PM)

would you like one of the multi-resolution icons, eg 512, 256, 128 ... etc all in one, or just 512?-Krishean (February 09, 2012, 06:54 PM)
I was trying to focus the discussion on the technical point of view, and what can be done to ask the download site to not list you. Is anyone forbid this in the end-user license agrement for example ?-supermimai (February 09, 2012, 03:18 AM)
@Superboyac but how you get the traffic for your software them ? organic SEO ?-supermimai (February 08, 2012, 06:40 PM)
I just asked to Softonic to remove my programs, or to remove the softonic downloader, as I don't like the fact they make money on my back..-supermimai (February 08, 2012, 06:28 AM)
Not so much funny as clever:

I think what most consumers don’t realize is that every time they buy a used game, there is ZERO money making it back to the Game Developers. All of those profits are going directly to the re-seller and making it more and more difficult for us to continue making higher quality products.
