Congrate to Wikipedia

Wikipedia is one of my source of knowledges. For your information, wikipedia is not a benefit project since they provide their service for free and they never put any advertisement in their website.

Wikipedia is completely relying on donation from its precious user. If I am not mistaken, their target is USD6 million  and their current meter of donation is shown at the top bar of Wikipedia.

However, this morning I feel something weird since the donation meter is replaced with a banner saying thanks from Jimmy Wales. I guess that their mission of USD6 million is already complished.

As a part of Wikipedia user, I feel glad about this and hope that Wikipedia will go to another stage.

Ps: Curious, will Wikipedia split the money with their editor who works so hard to guard Wikipedia from million of spams daily.

The file name you specified is not valid or too long

Have you ever wonder why sometimes you will get such error when you decided to delete, move or copy certain files in windows XP? Actually, this is not cause by virus but rather the way XP works.

To move data to different partition, the name of a file cannot exceeds  231 characters or such error will occur. Moving data is essential in order to make backup or format our harddisk, so this error will prevent us from doing that. Luckily there is a way to handle this error.

1.Rename the file

Since the problem lies in long fine name, just rename the file. However I know that most of us is too lazy to do this and it is ok if you just have one file to do so, how about if you have fifty? (more…)
