This article on whether a domain name registrar is the same thing as a web host answers a question I was asked by a visitor....

What if someone else owns the domain on which your website sits? For example, as it was in the case of one of my visitors, someone may have bought the domain for you, and retained ownership of it. Or perhaps your website is on a free web host, or a blog host, and you are using the web address given to you by them. This article deals with how you can solve that problem (or potential problem)....

Every once in a while I run a certain program (MATLAB) and it takes up too much memory. At this stage the physical mem is at ~100% and the computer barely works. I then terminate MATLAB and I can see the memory is freed on the task manager (image). However, it takes about 5-10 minutes until I have full control over my computer back. In these 10 minutes the computer gradually becomes usable, open programs get 'unfreezed', etc. I guess that if MATLAB consumed all the memory then some other program's data was saved in the swap mem, but is it okay for this process of 'recovery' to take such a long time? I'm using Windows 7 with intel i5-2500 and 12GB RAM. Thank you. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am asking because some minutes ago my month-old Lenovo Y700 desktop (ruing windows 10) suddenly restarted itself. This is the first time anything like this has happened before. No blue screens and no errors. I know it wasn't due to temperature or strain on my GPU as the only programs I had open at the time were Opera and Adobe Acrobat DC. The only other thing I can think of is a power surge as we've had that once before and it fried my laptop several years back. I've installed a surge protector on the electrical outlet so my question is was a power surge responsible for the sudden restart or should I look elsewhere? I've attached the event logs here and here Let's block ads! بخوانید...

My site http://iosre.com is built upon discourse. It remains unreachable after setting up fail2ban. I've asked the question on their official forum, but their staff said it may be a general server problem and suggested superuser. I guess my website may be under attack, but since I'm not a server expert, I have no idea what to do the fix or track down the problem. Any ideas? Thanks! Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I had a desktop computer before and this fighting stick of mine was working pretty well. Before I got it to work, it was not recognized by the operating system (Windows 10). Now, I bought a new laptop and the controller is perfectly recognized but does not work at all.

What I literally want to do is to make my controller recognized as a game controller. But it is recognized as an usb device. When I try to change the driver, I have two options, and both of them does not work for me. What shall I do to make my computer recognize my fighting stick as a game controller...

Background: A few days back I wanted to play AOE2 over inteet. For that I used Voobly application for finding the users and launching the game. But problem was that since my local ISP had blocked port 16000, I was unable to play. I asked the local ISP to forward the port 16000 and they didn't know what did that mean. After that I installed Hideme VPN application and it somehow did the port forwarding and I was able to play. Question: How does the VPN overcome the port blocking restriction? Isn't all the traffic still go through my router, so then how did that happen? Note: I first asked this at Network Engineering , they told me to move it here. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I'm trying to create a Powershell script that watches a folder for new MP3 files and converts them to M4A format using FFMPEG and FDK AAC encoder. Since fdkaac.exe won't take MP3 files as input, I use this command, which pipes from ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i $path -f caf - | fdkaac -p5 -b64 - -o $outfolder$outname.m4a This works just fine if I enter it into a command prompt and the resulting M4A file that's generated has no problems. However if I run this from Powershell, the M4A file is created but contains nothing but unpleasant white noise (and very faint traces of music). An ideas why that is so? Here's the Powershell script if it helps: ### SET FOLDER TO WATCH + FILES TO WATCH + SUBFOLDERS YE...
