How to create a shortcut button to a specific folder in total commander

I love total commander, it is my favorite file manager and I really miss it on my mac :(
Since I use it very often I found useful  to define shortcuts for some of my working folders.
How did I do this?
It's easy.

In this example, I will add a button to the toolbar pointing to my foo folder present on my C: drive, so it's path will be C:\foo

1)  In TotalCommander, select the Button Bar... entry from the Configuration menu.
All the buttons available at the moment on the toolbar are displayed.  

2) Click Add

3)  Fill the fields Command and Parameters as shown below:

Command: CD
Parameters: C:\foo


Useless to say, if you want a shortcut to another folder, just change the field Parameters accordingly.

4) Select a nice icon for the field Icon file. You can choose one your own .ico file by clicking on the >> button.

That's it!

PS
You can change the position of your shortcut too.

Not enough free disk space (but there is!) error

Are you trying to save a big file (bigger than 4GB) on your pretty empty and pretty capable USB stick but you get the error "Not enough free disk space"?
The problem is probably due to the fact that your USB is formatted as FAT32.
This file system simply cannot handle file bigger than 4GB.
The solution is to format your USB drive to NTFS, this is the file system used by Windows XP/VISTA/7/8.
In this way your USB drive will be fully writable/readable by Windows/Linux and Mac (with Paragorn installed) systems.

NOTE:
Formatting your USB drive WILL DELETE its content! So make a backup first!

What is the best online backup solution?

My favorite online backup solution is Dropbox.
Easy to use. Powerful. Available for all the major platforms. And it has nice icons too!
The only drawback is the available space. With a free account you start with 2 GB but with referrals among your friends you can reach 16 GB.

In Java, to convert a String into an integer you can use either

Integer.valueOf(String) 

or

Integer.parseInt(String). 

But what is the difference between them? Well 

Integer.valueOf(String) gives as result an Integer object.

Integer.parseInt(String) gives the primitive Java type int
