    Admin Control Panel, Help?

    Let's try again. Plesk et al. provide an interface to manage the whole server (i.e. FTP, email, ...), while a web content management system comes with a build-in administration interface. If you don't use a CMS at all and only upload some files through FTP/DAV/other fancy application (i.e...

    Admin Control Panel, Help?

    A server-wide admin panel comes at an extra cost. Ask your hoster if you don't have such "useful" things as Plesk or cPanel. Application-wise, if it's not readily available, odds are that it doesn't exist. So, you either have to pay for it or write it on your own.

    Constantly Restarting

    It can't? Really? Every such incident led to protective measures being added to one place or another. Other famous examples being destroyed monitors (pre-multisync era) or, more recently, password-protected harddisks.

    Router Trouble

    Either DHCP is disabled or some security measure prevents you from accessing the network at all (MAC address filtering, mandatory protocol not supported, i.e. network is WPA2-only, wrong encryption key, ...).

    ntldr is missing

    I already deleted your "suggestion" once, no need to repost it. If this happens, what about getting your boot order right (entry 1 in post #3)? Unplugging can hardly be considered a solution.

    ntldr is missing

    It's either your boot.ini or a badly damaged filesystem. Try rebuilding the boot.ini. If it fails, you can still reinstall.

    Partially readable, yes. It somehow reminds me of a Babelfish incident. I'll wait for a better translation. :(

    If you happen to have a link to the verdict (preferably english of course), I'd be interested. All articles I found so far were more or less in-depth summaries siding with the one or the other party. None mentioned that hosting part. Indeed, most stories even state that The Pirate Bay only...

    If you consiter the recent verdict, yes. No, because the end-user action all by itself is illegal. Nevertheless, every other actors beside the uploaders/downloaders aren't doing anything against copyrighted works. Neither of the actors can be 100% sure that the content being exchanged is...

    That really depends on your national legislation. Some countries still allow personal downloads (for non-commercial purposes) while prohibiting distribution (uploading), while quite a lot of them now forbid both uploading and downloading of copyrighted works.

    The torrent files by themselves aren't illegal in any way as they don't contain any information protected through copyright. Indeed, you can't know what's inside them without completing parts of or the whole download of the torrent's content. A torrent file tells you: the location of the...

    It depends on the website. Most fake or big portals provide alternate content to the spiders than human visitors. Thus, the bots index the torrent file (or a search-optimized version of it) while the visitors get redirected to an ad-riddled page with the download link. The primary goal of those...

    Does amplifying a mp3 file ruin the quality?

    Of course not, unless you reduce the bitrate. Just like JPEG files, you won't see any noticeable differences. It's only after repeatedly saving (thus recompressing) the file that you'll see (or, in this case, hear) differences. PCM is lossless, but requires quite a lot of disk space. You'll...

    :confused: Please try again. There has to be something wrong with that sentence. The Four have not been convicted for copyright infringement, indeed there wasn't any by the site itself (that charge has been dropped on day two). They've been accused and convicted of assisting making available...

    Does amplifying a mp3 file ruin the quality?

    Yes and no. Yes, because MP3 is a lossy compression format. Every time you save it, you lose some quality due to quantification. No, because some applications like MP3Gain provide a way to alter the amplification factor. This transformation is lossless but limited to multiples of about +/-...

    If you add some magic filter like "filetype:torrent" to your query, Google or The Pirate Bay will serve the same purpose. Give it a try for "Stairway to Heaven". There are a lot of similarities between both sites, be it the fact that they're content agnostic or that they're aware that illegal...

    Running 64bit vista as 32bit?

    Indeed, that's not possible. If you've got an OEM Vista license, it's either 32 bit or 64 bit. If you want both, you'll have to purchase a second license. A retail copy may be installed as either 32 or 64 bit. Additionally, if you'd like to run a 32 bit version inside a virtual machine on your...

    Computer problem!

    No, you have to boot from that CD. Daemon Tools will be of no use. Either burn a CD or make a bootable USB stick.
