comment Suphp connection reset by peer in error logs
So, to clarify, your problem is that sometimes when you try to reach your site, it doesn't respond for awhile, but after 30 seconds or so, you get the page normally?

comment multiple IP addresses bound - which one is used for outgoing packets?
Yes, but that's not the best way to do it. Better is something like ip route replace default via GATEWAY.IP.GOES.HERE src SOURCE.IP.GOES.HERE

Just specify a netmask of 255.255.255.255 for the IPs you don't want to be used as source addresses. That will make them seem "further" from the default gateway (and other machines on that subnet) and so they won't be preferred. See here

They're already removed. That's what "reallocated" means.

What purpose would the encryption serve if anyone who could access the encrypted data could also access the key?

comment Server 2008 R2 boot is at 2 hours and counting. What now?
You should always test the RAM after any RAM changes. Test in the system and before booting any OS installation you care about. RAM issues risk corrupting the OS installation.

My bet is that your queries are requiring full table scans.

comment Software based CPU Load Balancing for Intel Xeon
What do you mean by "CPU load balancing"? Are you seeing high load on some CPUs and low load on others? And if so, how would it be better if you saw moderate load on all? (In fact, it'd be worse as that would drop the clock speed.)

comment Are Anti Static Foam Cleaners OK for cleaning all parts of a PC?
Just make sure the computer is dry before you use air on it. The idea is to get the dust blowing around and then most of it will wind up outside the computer. Trace amounts of dust won't really hurt a computer, it's the buildup that traps heat and moisture.

comment Are Anti Static Foam Cleaners OK for cleaning all parts of a PC?
I'm not sure I understand why you think that would be a problem. Your goal is to get the surface clean. The purpose of the cleaner is to loosen any dirt's grip on the surface. The water will evaporate rapidly because of the way water mixes with alcohol. The 2-BE is a no-residue surfactant which detaches dirt from a surface and makes greasy compounds soluable so they can be wiped off.

If it wasn't worth making a snapshot or backup of, it's definitely not worth trying to recover without one.

comment When laptop connects other laptops loose their Internet
You have to troubleshoot. When the laptops get an intermittent connection, can they ping the router? Does their ARP table change? And so on.

comment Trouble with Russian pc's on my wifi
Do they get an ARP reply from the router? Check with ARP -a. (The first thing you should always do when troubleshooting a problem like this is figure out exactly how far the clients get and determine what is the very first thing that doesn't work.)
