  1. Clarityray stops adblock (not hosts) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1 · on Adblock Plus Can Now Be Rolled Out To Every Single Employee In a Company

    See subject: by native browser methods dumping addons used + AdBlock = slower, inferior + 'souled-out'!

    Can adblock do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

    1.) Protect vs. malicious sites (beyond ads)

  33. Former NCAA lettering 1st string jock here by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on The Dallas Cowboys Will Train Their Quarterbacks With Virtual Reality Headsets

    See subject: Nerds are GREAT (now I'm the guy I would've laughed @ then in the 80's, with a BIAS for sure on my part now as a "nerd/geek" ala APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit: http://start64.com/index.php?o... )

    So - why's my subject that?

    Ok - I played the sport of Lacrosse for a many time national or divisional champ (partial athletic/academic scholarship aid in room & board).

    I watched the equipment get SO MUCH BETTER in the timeframe I played the sport circa 1978-1988 roughly, it was UNBELIEVABLE...

    E.G.-> Sticks got SO MUCH better - better internal pocket designs alone (I was doing 'corner pockets' for example, for AGES before they became "fashionable" & known superior, shown to me by a TRUE "All-Time Great" in Mr. Tom Korrie (All-American/All-Pro everything you name it from highschool, into Div I college @ SU leading them all-time in scoring to this day iirc)) too... THAT came from the players themselves though.

    HOWEVER:

    Engineers/geeks did the rest - I remember OLD PL-66 heads with WOODEN shafts (heavy as hell, & hurt when you got beaten on with them though) vs. the "new" SuperLite-II design that "took the game by storm" all thru the 80's-90's - we owed THAT to engineers!

    * I recently (2 days ago) actually TOUCHED the newer even BETTER sticks out there now with a tenant of mine's boyfriend who plays (he was astounded I could STILL do what I used to, but like riding a bike, you NEVER ever forget how to go left & right + do 'tricks', lol) for the 1st TIME IN 30++ YEARS... they're even BETTER now!

    I.E.-> Better materials like TITANIUM strength & lightness in the shafts (not as prone to bending, since once THAT occurs, the stick is SHOT to shit), & the heads are even better + lighter too imo!

    APK

    P.S.=> Jocks etc. (non-nerds in general) OWE GEEKS/NERDS BIGTIME AS THEY IMPROVE IT ALL lending to a better way of LIFE overall in quality of life thru tech improvisations - their sciences permeate EVERYTHING (take a look around you sometime, & ask yourself "I wonder what type of engineering went into that?" on ANYTHING you look around @, & then "How much has it improved due to geeks?"...) apk

  43. ClarityRay knows (beats adblock) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1 · on Report: Internet Users Feel Powerless To Protect Their Privacy From Corporations

    Can adblock do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

    1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads: See 2-10 next)
    2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
