Failed reCAPTCHA. Please try again

I have a problem.
All time I surfed the WEB I never had problem with reCAPTCHA.
But today, when I was solving reCAPTCHAs - I always have the same error "Failed reCAPTCHA. Please try again".
And I can not pass through this "gate".
I tried to restart the browser (google chrome), tried to clear browser cache, tried to restart PC. I even tried to use VPN (I do not know how this could help, but for the sake of luck I tried this too).
So.. maybe stackoverflow is not the place, where I should ask help about this problem, but unfortunately Google has no inner forums or feedback fields. So I ask about help here.
Did anyone ever meet this problem? And how can it be fixed?
Help me, please. I encountered this problem first time in my life.

Janusys.com or Janusus.net Website and Forum

is there anybody who preserved the old Website of the Janusys company. Mostly known for their GridEX Winforms control but they had a complete suite of Winform Tools. Their support was (up until 'bankruptcy') very good and gave much more info on how to use their control in a non standard way.
I still use their components a lot in my projects and up until last year there was still a lookup method on http://janusys.net to get ideas if I was stuck.
The site(s) are out of the air now, so I hope someone has made a 'copy'??
regards Sandor
I hope too.
I hope the site is reactivated or that someone has managed to make a backup

Microsoft Bot Framework bots disappeared

Since a few days we are missing our bots in the "My Bots" section of the Microsoft Bot Framework at https://dev.botframework.com/
They still do work as expected, but we can not see or edit them. Maybe there is any way to list them without the website?
Creation of new bots seems to work fine, but if the old ones are lost, this would be really bad.
Does anyone know how to recover them or if there was/is some kind of maintenance? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance and best regards

Webhosting with custom database choice

I've asked this question elsewhere: https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/28320/webhosting-with-custom-database-choice but was hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction too... Does anybody know of any web hosting which will support OrientDB?
AFAIK there is only NuvolaBase that offers it: www.nuvolabase.com

Create a windows service in vb6

Is it possible to create a windows service in vb6? if yes, how?
I've never tried it, but Desaware offer a commercial package, the NT Service Toolkit that claims to allow you to host a VB6 DLL inside a Windows Service. Desaware was founded (and I think is still owned by) VB6 guru Dan Appleman, which is a good recommendation.
Microsoft created a control to allow you to create services in VB6.

Yes, it works, is it the best way to create a service, no, but if VB6 is a requirement (you have a bunch of code you have to re-use), then I can state from experience that it works. We have the original control from the January 1997 MSDN, however you can easily find it on the net if need be ( http://www.google.ca/search?q=ntsvc.ocx+download )
Like gouging your own eyes out with a spoon, it is technically possible but I wouldn't recommend it.
Yes, you can. Just follow the directions in this tutorial:

To answer your question, yes it is possible to create a Windows service with VB6. To offer you advice, there are much better tools to use. I did it once as a proof of concept project, but never liked it well enough to try to use it for anything that we used in the company. A co-worker did do this for a production app and it was error prone. After he left we found out just how hard he was working to keep his service running and ended up replacing his app without reviewing his code. So my advice is, if you want to do it as an exercise go ahead, but if you are looking at this for a workable solution you should consider other tools. Here is a link to one way to do it.
