Where did these hex named folders come from?
First off, I am using Windows XP. I have multiple hard drives and it looks like something decided to make some folders on the second one ( which is just a data drive, no os ). These folders all have names like "e69f29f1b1f166d3d30b8c9f7156ba" and "bd92c24cc278614082cd88e7a64b". They contain folders named update, whose "access is denie...

What, if anything is typically done in a repository's structure to reflect deployed units?
This is a follow-up to the question Should the folders in a solution match the namespace? The consensus on that question was a qualified "yes": that is, folders == namespaces, generally, but not slavishly (the way java requires). Indeed, that's how I set up projects. But setting up source control has made me hesitate about my current...
Changing the default folder in emacs
I am fairly new to emacs and I have been trying to figure out how to change the default folder for c-x c-f on start up. For instance when I first load emacs and hit c-x c-f its default folder is C:\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin, but I would rather it be the desktop. I believe there is some way to customize the .emacs file to do this, but I am sti...

What's the best way to get the name of a folder that doesn't exist?
What's the best way to get a string containing a folder name that I can be certain does not exist? That is, if I call DirectoryInfo.Exists for the given path, it should return false.

How do you check if a folder is accessible over a network in c#
I need to know if a folder is accessible to other computers on the network, so the first part of this is checking if the folder is shared accross the network. As the folder I'm checking may be a sub-folder, I can't just iterate across shared folders on the computer to check if one of them points to my folder unless WMI allows me to chec...
Concatenating arbitrary number of rows of strings in mysql (hierarchical query)

What is your method of "folksonomy" tagging for files on your local machine?
Way back in the days when "delicious" was just "del.icio.us", I had assumed that everyone had finally caught on that Ontology is overrated. So why am I still having to roll my own tagging system using sqlite and a bunch of ruby scripts in order to address this obvious deficiency on my own local machine? I can tag on-line web links, blo...
