Why is my computer really slow despite of having a considerable amount of free memory? @AthomSfere Java, heh, interesting language you pick as example ;-) |

Why is my computer really slow despite of having a considerable amount of free memory? @DanNeely Avoiding using unnecessary resources speeds things up, it doesn't slow things down, so that quite misses the point imo. Besides, if 2gb is obsolete then I think around 60% of the users in the western world (or 95% in other countries) are running obsolete systems. Definition of obsolete: "No longer produced or used". |

Why is my computer really slow despite of having a considerable amount of free memory? Since when is 2GB RAM not enough for Windows 7? Can't say that it works fast, but I'd even argue two Windows Server 2008 virtual machines can work on a 2GB Windows 7 host. |

What do i look for while buying a mouse? Right. I don't really notice the difference between my 800DPI mouse and a 3500 one (besides the increase in cursor speed), but that makes sense. |

What do i look for while buying a mouse? I don't understand how DPI is of any importance. Can't you just set the mouse speed higher or lower in your OS or the game? Isn't the maximum trackable acceleration much more important (so that the mouse keeps track of where it is even when moving it very fast, for example in games to turn around and shoot instantly)? |

Keyboard shortcut to minimize Remote Desktop Not working for me. |

Keyboard shortcut to minimize Remote Desktop Very good to know this, though it doesn't direct all other input to the remote machine. Using windowskey+E for example is performed locally. +1 anyway. |

TCP/UDP hole punching from and to the same NAT network Could you explain how NAT Hairpinning differs from NAT Loopback? Thanks! |

Random 'Drivers installed message' appeared and lost internet connection suddenly This is a hardware or software issue, not a security issue. It might be, but a lamp going dark can also be a security issue while it probably just burned out. Your network hardware got reconnected, which is probably a bug in the driver or something, and the cause is not related to security. |

Why does pinging 192.168.072 (only 2 dots) return a response from 192.168.0.58? Try loading 1249739915. In Chrome it translates to 74.125.132.139, in Firefox it loads that URL. Related: php.net/ip2long |

TCP/UDP hole punching from and to the same NAT network @DavidSchwartz It doesn't have to rewrite both fields. It seems (also seeing the answer that was just posted) my question is a bit unclear... |

TCP/UDP hole punching from and to the same NAT network The block is probably to mitigate attacks such as ARP cache poisoning or browsing SMB shares or so. Hole punching enables a direct connection while still making these attacks impossible (also basically, the traffic is identical to internet traffic). Legal issues aside though, the point is that internal IPs aren't usable because internal traffic between hosts is blocked. When the udp/tcp hole is made, the public IP from the clients will be used. I was wondering how the NAT router reacted to a packet that both comes from and goes to his WAN IP, especially when it hasn't got NAT loopback. |

Why is it so hard to clean up DNSChanger malware? @RandolphWest Perhaps someone could at least clarify what has been done anyway, the ISC themselves have only one blogpost about it (as linked in my post). |

Why is it so hard to clean up DNSChanger malware? @RandolphWest Windows 98 still works. Breaking someone's internet connection kind of urges them to get it fixed, especially when providing a one-click solution. Might still not get it done for everyone, but those still infected after that are simply unhelpable. Why hasn't this happened? Or has it? |

Prevent inadvertent replacement in notepad++ @mpajoh At the notepadplusplus.org website there are links to Google+, Twitter and Facebook on every page. And also: notepad-plus-plus.org/contributors/author.html sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/forums This should be enough to get in touch. |

Prevent inadvertent replacement in notepad++ @mpajoh Oh that feature, hmm think I used that once, and also think it warned me that it might give irreversible results. Not on Windows though; can't try either. Why don't you? |

I can't resolve s3 dns from time-to-time @SFun28 Everything might fail, but you mention having a fallback DNS. Having them both fail is rather unlikely. Google's DNS could be another good fallback though, at least to debug (yes I'm aware the topic is a year old, but this might be useful for other readers). |

Prevent inadvertent replacement in notepad++ @mpajoh just try it yourself... It undoes all replacements in one file for sure, but I've never used "replace in all open files" so I don't know if ctrl+z also undoes in all files. |
