There, of course, is. Many times while writing code and being stuck, it strikes, "wait, sometime back I responded solution for this thing.".

I look at it as an exercise in patience and civility.
I really, really want to tell the "moar codz plz" people where to stick it, or the "can't find Google" people to clean up the gene pool by removing themselves from it.
So I usually type something like that, look at it again, and do a rewrite with civility in mind.
Some of that old junk could use clearing, though.

As long as your responses are constructive, I see no problem with that. But if you just downvote or delete messages without giving a newcomer any reason for doing so, people are just going to end up thinking we're a bunch of d*cks and leave.

Where is the proper place to discuss the impossibility of changing ones IP address ?
Once a year I like to confirm that a residential IP address is permanent, immutable, and unalterable.

You ask here[^].
But unless you rephrase the question you'll probably get the same answer as you did from Piebald.

Okay, thanks, dropping out here, and dropping in over there at System Admin
Oh, and I'll take your hint, and rephrase the question as a student who honestly wants to learn the answer.
(Oh DO I EVER !!! want the answer to that question !!!)

Okay, exit lounge, asked again: HERE[^]
I will read answers there, carefully.

Unless you order (and normally pay extra for) a specific static IP from your ISP, you do not have a permanent, immutable, or unalterable IP, you have a dynamic address. And the easiest way to change it is to turn off your router, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on.
For fibre and fibre-to-the-cabinet, you may need a longer "wait time" as the reset timeout is generally set longer as it's a more reliable connection (mine is a couple of hours, from the last power cut we had)

More like some days, since many ISP use DHCP to assign public addresses and the usual policy is to assign preferentially the same IP to the same machine if it connects again inside a certain time frame.

Nice way of asking a programming question in the Lounge.

Do you see a programming solution implied in the question? I see it a perfectly valid lounge question.

From my understanding of boolean algebra that would be just as true.

So you want to apply logic to my drivel hahahahah hic!

You get your IP from your "network". The external IP from your provider, your internal from your router.
You must understand the network topology and DHCP.

Actually, it seems to be over. Many thanks to those who offered advice, especially to Michael Martin who pointed me to BleepingComputer and the three utilities (TDSSKiller, Junkware Removal Tool, AdwCleaner). AdwCleaner was the one that seems to have found the culprit. That and I reset all three browsers, deleted all cookies, temporary internet files and physically verified they were deleted.
All seems back to normal now. Thanks again for the help.

Backup. Now.
Then backup again tomorrow...
And at least every week from now on!

And then never attempt a recovery procedure that isn't restoring from backup.

I'm looking to buy the paper back version of the book WiX 3.6: A Developer's Guide to Windows Installer XML by Nick Ramirez
The book new is $45 and change but the price of the book used is more than new?
But the last seller on the list is mighty proud of their book, so much so that they are still asking for Shipping fee.

On the plus side it is in acceptable condition.

I've seen it before with electronic components - mostly cables - where it's £1 from 999 suppliers, and £10,000 from the thousandth.
