  • Question on Judaism :?

    I know after researching over the internet that Judaism existed before Islam or Christianity did. But, I want to know geographically and demographically who were the Jewish people (their origins) and how are they different from the other two religions in their movement across the globe.

  • NameServer and domain hosting?

    I am hosting a domain in godaddy where I came across this option for nameserver. I know what that is and what is the role of a nameserver.

    However, my question are these(2 questions to be precise)

    1. How is a public nameServer different from private nameserver? Like in terms of their job role.

    2. So I went into cmd and checked which nameserver i was using : nslookup

    set q=NS

    www.inmotion.com

    I got this

    Server: MyDslModem.local.lan

    Address: 192.168.1.1

    But,when i tried the same nameserver lookup for google.com

    i got this :

    google.com

    primary name server = ns1.google.com

    responsible mail addr = dns-admin.google.com

    serial = 1553516

    refresh = 7200 (2 hours)

    retry = 1800 (30 mins)

    expire = 1209600 (14 days)

    default TTL = 300 (5 mins)

    What has changed? why do i get more info here?

  • Wait if ipad-mini is 64 bit enabled..Does it make use of?

    Does it make use of 64 bit processor or it can and it might in the future..but it current doesn't?

    is it simply a future proof decision to make use of more RAM with more virtual address being produced by 64 bit process than 32 bit processor?

    Or it currently does use 64 bit? With address space in 2^64 max range?

  • Noob question about IP addresses?

    If Ip address are like postbox addresses assigned to a computer, and there are two things(Dynamic & static IP) assigned to you, how do browsers like tor change it?

    Won't you be bereft of receiving the mail(Packets) sent to you?

    How do you even change the address assigned to you? it is after all assigned to you correct?

    And one last question, with ISP(s) assigning Ip addresses dynamically to us, when I send a mail, to say a previous contact, say , GhostRider, do I not mean send the mail to the IP address corresponding to his name. But that has now changed hasn't it? And how do ISP keep track of which customer with the IP did some illegal activites (If he did)? Would it be assigned to someone else at somepoint?

    Thank you

  • Question on the Bubonic plague?

    I know even after the ferocious first wave of plague, it haunted Europe once in every decade. But did they ever find a cure?

    Or did it just wear off?

    If it was killing 20 million people throughout Europe, it cannot just wear off correct?

    And I want to know why do the victims develop a Egg sized swelling on their body..The biology behind it..

    And could you explain to me about the Mnemonic plague too?

    Thank you

  • Why is there so much racism in MMORPG?(UK servers)?

    I am tired of this..

    Whenever I play in US servers , (I am an Indian btw..playing with three of my friends), I am never encountering this kinda racism..

    UK however, is a completely different story. EVERYTIME, they cannot go around calling others Third world..Or how they colonized other countries? Or how beatiful their women are and How they are perfect and we are faulty..

    Is the real UK similar to anything like this? Honestly..After all this..I am really sad. :(

  • Are Aryans - Indo-Iranians- who have migrated to Europe?

    I am referring to the Aryans Germany had to separate in Nuremberg Law from the jew..or Nazi Germany had their own definition of Aryans(Like elite German..Not crossbred, not jewish or what they call a Mischling,).

    Are the two aryans the same or did Nazi Germany mean something else differently that just has the same name?

  • Why are my parents being so partial toward me?

    I have a younger brother 14, I am 18. I go to college and I needed a laptop coz I am pursuing computer science and engineering. My parents who are really adamant about the stuff they want, buy whatever pleasing them . My mother for ex. bought Galaxy S3, soon after release and my dad a car. I have galaxy y mobile and my parents logic is that since I have a lappie my brother should get the S3 and also another laptop. I don't understand it. Also, once my brother asked for a ps2. he got it the next day. although , i do play with it, I didn't get **** even when i had been asking for 7 years.

    I think this is really partial especially since this happens in everything. Also, food and clothes are given to him easily than to me.
