What layer of the TCP/IP network does ARP belong to? @IsaacRabinovitch: Surely you meant the physical layer in the last sentence? All the diagrams I see on Google have this same mapping. This discusses how it is not really possible to make a direct relationship between the two models. |

How do I turn off Modern UI and get the old Start Menu back in Windows 8? Actually, now Start8 is better. It has recently been updated to be pretty much exactly the same as the Windows 7 Start Menu. All that is currently missing is UNC path search and it is a bit too translucent. |

Getting redirected to www.website-unavailable.com As it is happening in both Firefox and Chrome, it looks like it is the DNS server doing the redirecting. |

Build Advise for Home Web/NAS Server with Ubuntu Server 12.04 @slhck: I can't see how it is a shopping recommendation, but what is being asked is very vague. |

How can I find out if my computer is able to run Client Hyper-V in Windows 8? That last paragraph describes quite an amazing new feature of Hyper-V, which even VMware vSphere currently lacks. |

How do I turn off Modern UI and get the old Start Menu back in Windows 8?+1 I recommend Classic Shell SM, instead of Start8, having used both. Classic Shell has made Windows 8 perfect for me. I only want to use Metro apps on a Windows RT tablet, but I can understand why Microsoft has done this - to give the new platform exposure, leveraging hundreds of millions of Windows users to play catchup in a increasingly important market, which is crucial for the company's survival as a dominant technology company. |

Downsides of a small allocation unit size Oh, and also, by changing from the defaults, you are a bit more susceptible to incompatibility problems with certain software that directly accesses the hard drive, like disk cloning and backup software. |

Downsides of a small allocation unit size IIRC, sustained reading speed is reduced, which is why if you were mainly dealing with very large files (eg. video editors) it would desirable to increase it. |

Can a Windows batch file call another program without waiting for that program to finish? If the path for the executable contains spaces, you need to use start "" "foo\my program.exe". Type start /? for details. |

Is it possible to get back data from a Micro SD which is unresponsive? I recommend only using brand name SD cards and USB flash drives. I've experienced a few failures (most not my own), but I've never seen a SanDisk fail. |

What features would I be missing if I used Windows 8 as a small business server?net config server says 20 inbound SMB connections, and I am sure client network share browsing will be very slow when approaching that maximum. I'm not sure about IIS, but as it is only intended for development, I guess it will have a low maximum as well. |

What features would I be missing if I used Windows 8 as a small business server? Look at the features of Windows Server 2013 Essentials (which I think is great) to make a comparison. The fact there are less max network connections (if it is like previous client versions) and lack of Active Directory (Workgroups become unusable with more than one to two dozen client machines) are the main disadvantages when using it as a server. |

Batch file that will create directory and place a txt file inside with specific name @Techturnal: You could use another set /P to get the 'text name' into a variable and then echo "%text_name%" >> "LogFiles\%dirname%_LogFile.txt" (or wherever - it's unclear where you want the file). |
