Just received my new-to-me laptop for work. Had to have it since I'm traveling next week but am not thrilled about it since it means work is now officially portable =/ With that said: IT'S CROWDSOURCING TIME!! I need your best FREE file mgmnt system to sync files between my desktop and the lappie. Docs only, not worried about email. GO

If you're looking for an automatic, always-synced type of system, Dropbox is the best (though, it does have a limit on total capacity). If you're looking for something you can sync manually back and forth between the two (either over a network or with the use of an external drive in between), SyncBack is an awesome choice.

- MoTO #TeamMonique
Alright, after a bit of playing around it appear that the desktop and lappie will in fact see each other on the network, which I have to say surprised me a bit. So this means SyncBack is a very viable option for pushing copies from one to the other. Since SB will let me automate the process (at least, it did last time I used it), what are the selling points for DB over SB?
- FFing Enigma
Do you use roaming profiles at work? I've seen trouble with DB when roaming profiles are enabled, since the files cache can get a bit out of hand if you don't have it directed somewhere other than the default. (no experience with SB)

The advantages of Dropbox over SyncBack (as far as I'm concerned) are: 1) Dropbox is Web-accessible, as well; so you can access your files from another computer if need be. 2) You can share your files with other Dropbox users. 3) It is fully automatic (as soon as a file changes on one box, it's synced on the other box).
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
The advantages of SyncBack over Dropbox are: 1) SyncBack has no limits. Sync as much as you want as often as you want. 2) SyncBack allows you to keep files in a folder without syncing them. You choose exactly which files sync and which don't.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Edit: Windows Live *Mesh* works like a charm. You get 5GB and it works with your SkyDrive which is 25GB. You can access your files from the web, share files, and you can remotely control your other computers if you want. That is built in.

From the Director of Corporate Communications at SugarSync when I asked him why SugarSync over DropBox: 1) The reason why most people only use the free version of Dropbox is because it forces users to adopt a new behavior -- you have to learn to drag and drop everything into your special "Dropbox" folder, thus saving it in 2 places (the folder you normally save it in, i.e., My...

Fishnets with socks ATTACHED? A roller girl's dream come true! $30 a pop for something that would last 3 months tops means I'm not likely to participate: 'tis much more cost effective to buy $30 worth of tights and socks in combination so that when one blows out I have backups...

Really? You could get 3 months out of them? I would have thought less.

Well, these would be a "wear for bouts only" type of item, and 2 bouts a month means they might last 6. If I wore them for practice I'd be lucky to get a month out of them. And FWIW it's the velcro straps on our pads that do the most damage to our tights.

I haven't taken antibiotics since I was 15. I have asked for them twice, though, and been denied both times. Once my mom and Shawn came down with the same thing, got antibiotics from their doctors, and were well in a week, while I remained sick for three months. :/

Alix, some doctors are very reluctant to hand out antibiotics, while others hand them out like candy. My experience is that I usually end up with a secondary infection, i.e. a bacterial sinus infection when I get sick, so the antibiotic almost always helps.
