I'm building a site(asp.net) that needs save images for each product, so I'm not sure how implement it. I think i can do it saving all photos in the same folder but i do not like that i would prefer to create a new subfolder for each product and save the images in that subfolder but maybe in the future i have problems due to limitations with number of folders or subfolders.
Do you think that second option (creating subfolders) is better and secure?
You can see in the following link the limits of windows file system

taken from
https://serverfault.com/questions/18692/what-is-the-maximum-number-of-files-or-folders-that-can-be-stored-in-a-single
the limits of files and sub folders changed depending the kind of server/netapp.
you can read in the link above the limits for each one.
I would use subfolders but it is up to you, the important thing is that you need to know the limits and then decide.

I am running into a bit of a dilemma and I was hoping to be pointed in the right direction.
I have Git repository which two (self-explanatory) folders: scripts and data. I keep adding new data files to analyze in data, while in scripts I write R scripts to analyze those files.
I track changes in both folders. Therefore, I commit additions of new data files to data. This has nothing to do with tracking changes. I just want the scripts and the data to move together since I work on at least two machines.
I feel like I am using Git improperly, as (with respect to the data folder) I basically use it as a syncing tool.
So my question: is it bad habit to use Git also for data?
I don't think you are doing something particularly awful. Perhaps you could keep data on its own branch and then use it as a submodule or subtree?

I have a project idea for which I want to mine publicly available data on another website that it received by crowd-sourcing. This is so I have initial data for my own project. To reiterate, I want to write a robot to grab data that is displayed on another website and use it for my own website. Does anyone know the legality of this sort of thing? Does the original website own the data that was given to it by a crowd? Even if so, can I use it?
Web scraping is a legally complicated issue.
The hassles of legal action and enforceability often keep scrapers from getting in trouble.
Outright duplication is considered actionable, although courts have ruled that "duplication of facts" is permitted (US).
I advise you read up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping#Legal_issues
Best,
legally, you should be fine. as long as the data is made available and the people have consented; you aren't hacking and the other site has permission to share. check for a license on the other site, if there isn't one inquire or be prepared for access to be denied at some point. and even though it is publicly available doesn't mean the other site wants it to be.
also, double check and make sure that you don't inadvertently publish private data as well.

I need to find a list of files that contain 2 different words. For example, I need to search for a list of files from a folder that contain the word "Balloon" and then from the result, need to search for files that contain the word "burst".
Is it possible to do this using Textpad?
Edited answer because I see what you want is, in effect, to find any file with both balloon and burst in. You can simply use balloon.*burst (or balloon.+burst if you don't want to match balloonburst in the file):
Don't forget to search In all documents - and my advice would be to hit Mark All to show the results. Bearing in mind you'd need to open these files in TextPad first.

I think I set up a TrueCrypt volume on my Win7 machine a few months ago. Now I cannot remember where I set it up or what the password might be. Is there any way that I can detect this volume? I would have maybe gave it a capacity of 2GB or thereabouts so I don't want that storage going to waste.
If I uninstall TrueCrypt, would that release the volume assigned to it?
GF
Try a disk utility that allows you to locate large files or sort files by size (such as windirstat, although there are many others). A file that's 2GB should stand out.
Search your disk for a file with extension tc (*.tc).
There is no volume assigned unless you assign one (a drive letter). So you can uninstall freely.

I'm looking for a free way to be able to unzip files automatically in a folder. From what I've read, there seem to be a few ways to do this, but I'm limited because I do not have any zip/unzip software other than what is provided with Windows. Additionally, I do want to incorporate the executable/task or whatever it might be into an SSIS package, as this is the only way I have to create a scheduled task in my environment. Is this a tall order? Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.
I hope this helps as i also was looking for such a program as WinZip and WinRar are good but there are limitations and then i found ExtractNow
