What is this computer's DNS server?
There is no simple to explain answer to this question. DNS server houses the IP addresses used to access internet resources. The internet operates via IP address in the format of 255.255.255.255 (i.e. 192.168.002.015). Since those are hard to remember, DNS servers are responsible for translating the user friendly names like www.intrahost.co.uk to 213.249.135.69. I think there are something like 7 hub DNS servers on the internet that replicate to all the rest (happens constantly). By the way, if you type "CMD" in the Run box on Windows XP, then in the box which appears type "PING www.intrahost.co.uk ". You can see what the IP address is for the website. 213.249.135.69 DNS stands for Distributed Name System. A DNS server resolves a name to an IP address, as stated in earlier, but it can also point to multiple IP addresses for load balancing, or for backup servers if one or more is offline or not accepting connections. Individual organizations may have their own DNS servers for their local Intranet. Some sites have their own DNS server to switch between subdomains within them. For example, a site such as Blogspot can have subdomains come and go quite frequently. Rather than force every DNS server to update their own databases whenever someone creates a new blog, Blogspot could maintain their own DNS server to resolve names within the blogspot.com domain, e.g., to distinguish between myblog.blogspot.com and yourblog.blogspot.com ... their DNS server would be queried once blogspot.com is resolved, and it would be responsible for resolving myblog vs. yourblog. If you don't understand this answer. You could always go for the laymans terns version by asking www.askhorsey.com and see what he says

The .co is the same as a .com in the states. Each country has its own two character root domain. The United States's is .us. However, we tend not to use it but it does exist.

What is the definition of 'optimization'?
By Merriam-Webster dictionary, to optimize is to make as perfect, effective, or functional as possible. In engineering, optimization is a collection of methods and techniques to design and make use of engineering systems as perfectly as possible with respect to specific parameters. In industrial engineering, one typical optimization problem is in inventory control. For this problem, we want to reduce the costs associated with item stocking and handling in a warehouse. In the simplest form of this problem, the parameters to be optimized are the quantity of inventory required to fill existing and anticipated orders, when that inventory has to be available and the physical capacity of the warehouse. Optimization requires the representation of the problem in a mathematical model where the decision variables are the parameters of the problem.

On other systems, a dot is just another character, though dot suffixes may be used to indicate the type of file.
On a Unix system a file named *.exe may or may not be executable. There may also be multiple suffixes, such as example.tar.gz, indicating that it is a tar archive that has been compressed.
