I am not sure if this question belongs here or superuser (or other). If not - please let me know and I'll erase the question.
A friend of mine wishes to buy a domain but keep his name hidden. Is there a secure way of doing so?

Yes, It's called Privacy Protection and that's possible if your Domain Registrar supports this. Now a days almost all registrars support this. I buy my domains from answerable.com which is very economical and provides privacy protection as well.

If you buy the domain through godaddy.com, there's an option of hiding your info. I believe they charge for that service though.

Is it theoretically possible to register a new top-level domain (so I would have a page like page.mydomain)? If yes, then where is it possible and how much is it?
It seems you are looking for TLDs (Top-Level Domains). Historically, only countries and large interest groups could register TLDs, but recently ICANN, the organisation in charge internet domain names, opened bidding for corporate TLDs. You can see a current list of applications here. To apply for one yourself, I believe the entering price is somewhere around $10,000, but I'm not sure. Either way, the wait for authorisation is probably still over a year, so I wouldn't count on getting it done soon or cheap.

By this question I like to ask how legal is to track the installation of a free Joomla Module.
I already have create some Joomla Modules, and I like to track the amount of installations.
The only purpose of the trackink will be to track the web sites that using that module, nothing more, nothing less.
But I am wondering, is that legal ?
I wouldn't ask for legal advice from a programmers community. Best advice is to ask a laywer.
But if I were to guess, NOT allowed without the explicit user permission.
Not really the place to be asking this type of question.
Instead of tracking amount of installations, why not track the amount of downloads from your website? Would be much easier and ethical. Could be done with a simple bit of PHP or JS.

Today when I logged into facebook, I saw two favicons in address bar near to the identity portion (I don't know exact name of this part. If somebody know, just edit my question) like the screenshot below;
But there is only one favicon in the login page;
Why is this so? What will be the possible reason? I use Firefox 13.0 in Windows 7.
The squared area is SSL certificate information. SSL certificate contains company information (Facebook), I suppose that Firefox retrieves favicon from the company's website address, in this case facebook.com).
P.S. it doesn't matter what "level" of answer you want to receive, each kind of question belongs to its particular domain.
Moderators: please move this question as well as my answer if its possible to superuser.com

I have a requirement that I need to restrict my kids from browsing some sites . I want to be the adminbstrator for my machine, but other users have limited access to internet. Is there any software / proxy for this ? i want solution for both windows / linux and mac
My brother managed his daughters' access on Macs like this:
Restrict Safari from going to sites not in the Bookmarks
Only an administrator can create bookmarks
His user is an administrator; theirs aren't.
Kids can be pretty smart, though, and once they're sufficiently motivated to figure out how to get around your access controls it's not worth continuing the arms race.

How can i detect an elite proxy?
it's ok if i don't get them all, since it won't be possible
but atleast most of them?
Activities that should require more than one destination (most web browsing) yet constantly show up as the same destination are a good indicator of a proxy.
If a single site accounts for more than 20-30% of a user's request, it might be worth looking into to see if that is a proxy or not. This should mean you'd only ever manually investigate 2 or 3 sites per user. You can adjust this threshold as convenient.
For sure, you need solid logging for your network environment.
