I am getting that same message:      [Rocket Tab] DNS look up for "d2e24t2jgcnor2.webhostoid.com" failed.   no such host is known!   I have unchecked the proxy and it still does not work! What else can I do? Is there an IP address that I should put?
Sorry for the title, its hard to put the problem into proper words.  Basically, in Firefox or Chrome, I try to navigate to stackoverflow.com.  The request fails and the URL I see in the navigation bar is:  http://d2e24t2jgcnor2.webhostoid.com/Secure/Error?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2F&amp;ResponseCode=504&amp;user_id=5b5033d3-3543-4b7c-9844-055afde93841&amp;uc=20140915&amp;subid=20140915&amp;source=browsersafeguard-rockettab-spigot&amp;version=1.0.5370.12627&amp;implementation_id=browsersafeguard-rockettab-spigot%20&amp;block_host=False&amp;reg=False&amp;redirectms=True   This looks shady and my internet seems slower lately. I have a few questions:   Why is my request going through this strange URL? Do the query parameters reveal my identity? How can I stop this?   I use my cell phone’s 3G network and tether it to my laptop.

I remember reading a long time ago how you can rip the audio (music) from a DVD and convert it to a usable/readable format.  I can't find that article any more. Can anybody help me? Prove that $i^i$ is a real number According to WolframAlpha,  but I don't know how I can prove it. Subject vs. Object marking for whoever? I know similar questions have been asked before, but I'm having trouble reconciling the following sentence, received in an email:     Can we ask whomever is your contact there to email us a job so we can check backward compatibility?   I could understand using objective case if the sentence were "can we ask (him) to email...", but I get tripped up considering "whomever" to be the subject of "(he) is your contact there". It is being surprisingly hard to achieve. I've tried so far:   Download file manager apps from Google Play. Unfortunately, "share" shares the files, not the file names. None of them had a option like copy file names Download backup apps. Unfortunately, none of them backup the file names of a folder.   Any idea to copy to the clipboard or share the file names of all the files of a folder? Ambiguity of chi-squared test of association; how can the conclusion change using the ''same'' sample? Recently I have been struggling with the following two questions regarding the chi-squared test of independence / association during reading an article.        Is the chi-squared test able to detect no association between two groups among three at two levels? That is in a 3X2 contingency table.   Does the chi-squared test change its behavior with a larger sample that was otherwise perfectly proportional to a smaller sample?     I prepared a sample data set in R to seek the answers of these two questions. Though my initial discomfort about the chi-squared test have been proven, but over-acceptance of this test statistic in the scientific community have forced me to re-think. May be I have been missing something here.    # Question 1 x1 = c(100, 450, 450) x2 = c(600, 450, 450) d1 = rbind(x1,x2) colnames(d1) = c("Type 1", "Type 2", "Type 3") rownames(d1) = c("No", "Yes") d1 chisq.test(d1) # Significantly associated (not independent), though "Type 2" &amp; "Type 3"  #  were not different at all!   # Question 2 d2 = d1/50 d2 chisq.test(d2) # Not significant!!!  d3 = d2*2 d3 chisq.test(d3) # Significant!!! Playing a remote movie on the remote computer I have two computers (a desktop and a laptop) running linux connected to my local area network. I like to ssh from my laptop over to my desktop and run programs there, and sometimes listen to music on my desktop, which is connected to my stereo system. Lately, I've been wanting to play movies on the desktop and desktop screen, but cue them from my laptop across the room.   Unfortunately, I cannot play a movie in the current X session running on my Desktop on from my laptop. What is odd about this is that I can listen to the audio coming from the speakers that are hooked up to my desktop, by playing the audio files over ssh! This tells me that there must be a way to send the movie to that Xsession, from the ssh shell that I am connected to.  Does anyone have any ideas about this? Can you be refused a visitor visa to US if you have bad Credit there? Encrypting as3 flash .swf What is a good complex analysis textbook, barring Ahlfors's? I'm out of college, and trying to self-learn complex analysis. I'm finding  text difficult. Any recommendations? I'm probably at an intermediate sophistication level for an undergrad. (Bonus points if the text has a section on the Riemann Zeta function and the Prime Number Theorem.) To show for following sequence $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0$ where $a_n$ = $1.3.5 ... (2n-1)\over 2.4.6...(2n)$ How can I show   $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0$  $a_n = {1.3.5 ... (2n-1)\over 2.4.6...(2n)}$  I have shown that $a_n$ is monotonically decreasing. I thought to shown sequence is bounded from below then it automatically would converge and hence my question will be solve. But I'm unable to show its boundedness... Or there maybe another method to prove this. Thanks The Time That 2 Masses Will Collide Due To Newtonian Gravity My friend and I have been wracking our heads with this one for the past 3 hours... We have 2 point masses, $m$ and $M$ in a perfect world separated by radius r.  Starting from rest, they both begin to accelerate towards each other. So we have the gravitational force between them as:  $$F_g ~=~ G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$$  How do we find out at what time they will collide?  What we're having trouble with is this function being a function of $r$, but I have suspected it as actually a function of $t$ due to the units of $G$ being $N(m/kg)^2$.  I've tried taking a number of integrals, which haven't really yielded anything useful.  Any guidance?  No, this is not an actual homework problem, we're just 2 math/physics/computer people who are very bored at work :) What is the best way to close an ASPX page from the code-behind?    I have a button event handler that I want to close the page after the user has clicked an ASP.NET button on the page.  I have tried to programmatically add a JavaScript method that contains a window.close() command to the OnClientClick event to close the page but it does not work.  The button is also a asp:AsyncPostBoskTrigger for an AJAX Update Panel.  The application uses .NET Framework 3.5. /proc/PID/fd/X link number Why we usually do not exceed ARMA(5,5) models in practice?

How to use xcolor to color a pgfplot How do I use xcolor to color a specific cell from a table in pgfplots? Is xcolor the best tool to use here?
