google drive 400 bad request Reason bad request.

If you are getting this error, and you can't figure out why, and the error message from google doesn't help at all (not very uncommon) the most likely cause is
  1. You are trying to copy folders ( mimetype application/vnd.google-apps.folder )
  2. The filename contains an character that you have to escape, f.x. \ should be \\
  3. And it doesn't seem to like the character ' in File.Name

Using S3Cmd on Windows

1) Setup python 2.x - Python 3 is not supported.
2) Download s3cmd from www.s3tools.org
3) Add python directory to your global path (should be C:\python2x)
4) Run python setup.py install
5) Run python s3cmd --configure (from the build path)

You can edit the values in the setup configuration at c:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\ in a file called s3cmd.ini

I'm using s3 with Greenqloud and if you download a the tarball from them you can replace the contents s3cmd.ini with _s3cfg from Greenqloud.
Then you can run commands
python s3cmd ls
Comment below if you run into trouble, I could try to help.

Adding permanently to path in Windows through console.

path=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\bin\
setx path "%PATH%"


where C:\cygwin\bin is the addition to the current path.

Simple way to backup code, zip and copy to dropbox

Download 7zip, add it to the path (or just copy the program files to C:\windows\)
Create a .bat file containing
For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%c-%%a-%%b)
For /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ("%TIME%") do (set mytime=%%a%%b)
echo %mydate%_%mytime%
md C:\temp\%mydate%_%mytime%
robocopy C:\myfoldertobackup\ C:\temp\%mydate%_%mytime%\ *.cs *.js *.aspx *.ascx *.master *.csproj *.sln *.bat *.html *.htm *.css *.sql /s
7z a c:\temp\dropbox\codebackup\codebackup_%mydate%_%mytime%.zip C:\temp\%mydate%_%mytime%
rmdir C:\temp\%mydate%_%mytime%\ /Q /S

Run it.
I would recommend dropbox or something similiar to upload the files to somewhere safe.
Be careful with the rmdir command, make sure you don't delete anything of value.

Pause in dos (.bat files)

For any MS-DOS or Windows version with a TCP/IP client, PING can be used to delay execution for a number of seconds.
If specified (-w switch), PING will wait for a number of milliseconds between two pings before giving a time-out.

PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 60000 >NUL

Automatic submit on enter on input type=text ?

Depending on the browser, the Enter key may only cause a form submission if the form has exactly one text field, or only when there is a submit button present. The interface should not rely on a particular behavior for this key unless the issue is forced by observing the keypress event for presses of the Enter key.

so fix is add this
" input type="text" id="Text1" style="display:none;" /"

began the autopsy?"
A: "No."
Q: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
A: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."

law somewhere."

Gustave Gilbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nuremberg trials

Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Should robots have rights? : philosophy: "At what point do we say, 'here is a level of intelligence worthy of rights?'
I'll go with the level of intelligence where when you deny said entity rights it can start to plot against you."
