China can make all the molds and blades they like, but until they figure out a way to actually ship 50 foot blades around, it really doesn't matter does it?
So, APK, how does it feel to Troll on an article about trolling? If Slashdot worked the way that Twitter is trying to setup, you wouldn't be able to post anymore. How would that make you feel?
You are essentially giving an example of exactly what Twitter doesn't want any more of. People who post all about how awesome they are, and how terrible the other person is, just because they can't win an argument. It is like exactly what the definition of a troll is. You must live under a bridge.
Destroyed your wet paper bag again? You really should try to keep it from getting damaged so quick. So, when will you start addressing the issues I brought up with your solution?
Why all the sexism? Are you saying that women can't possibly be the trolls? Or is it agism, that trolling people is somehow a 12 year old thing? Perhaps you should expand your horizons and realize that ANYONE can troll, including the ones making up these rules!
My understanding is that the state department wasn't the original classification authority, so they did not have the authority to declassify something that did not originate in the state department, so whoever did it is in big trouble.
It is kind of off topic as the topic is some power company using H1B's illegally, but if it wasn't for offtopic conversations, would Slashdot even have a comment section?
will work to ensure a safe and secure platform for users to express themselves freely and safely.
Unless you have an opinion that differs from someone else's. Or if we think you are a troll, because restricting free speech is the quickest way to allowing people to express themselves freely.
You added remote DNS to the statement. I never said the DNS was remote, why would I use someone else's DNS I don't trust?
How is it faster to query a Hosts file (which has to be stepped through in its entirety for records not found in it) than a DNS server running in memory (which uses branching tree algorithms to do resolution)?
FAVORITE SITES @ THE TOP OF HOSTS vs. REMOTE DNS
Oh, so you are still attacking a strawman, I see. Stop talking about favorite sites in the hosts file, as that isn't what was said, it doesn't solve the problem of slow resolution of things not in the hosts file.
* YOU FAIL, limited menial... lol, you fail.
It must make you feel great to keep defeating those strawmen. You sure are the mental midget you claim everyone else to be.
In Maryland, our gas is down to $1.65, this is lower than when I started driving, if your prices haven't dropped below $2 a gallon, then I would look at why if I were you. At the height of the gas prices in the last 5 years, MD gas was $5, so it isn't like ours is somehow artificially low in some way.
As it appears that CNN, Fox, Fortune, Forbes, and many others disagree with you, I would love to see where you get that idea. The US fracking has pretty much shut down while Saudi Arabia is flooding the market to try and cause all the fracking companies to go out of business, we will see if it works.
You are hilarious. Where is your actual testing? Come on, you have to have tested it to claim that yours is faster and uses less resources.
Annihilation would actually require you to have a single response to anything I said, since you still are fighting strawmen it can only be presumed you have no responses to the actual issues, therefore you have already admitted that you are wrong and have no responses but attacks. It is lovely to see you finally admit that you know nothing about security as you can't even make any kind of response to the actual known issues I have brought up with your method.
You know, posting things in all caps doesn't suddenly make them valid or true right? You can keep beating that strawman all you like, but you are still wrong. DNS beats Hosts every single time when an entry isn't in the hosts file. DNS beats hosts files after about the 5th record for speed.
Still beating another strawman there too, one person reviewing your code =/= a code review, as I have repeatedly stated.
And you CLAIM you're a security guy? No, no way.
Apparently I am way more of a security expert than you, because I actually understand these things, something you have repeatedly shown you do not do.
he'd have KNOWN if I 'stole others code' WHICH YOU FALSELY ACCUSE ME OF you disgusting little reprehensible PIECE OF SHIT!
NEVER did I accuse you of stealing code. I said your software uses other people's work in that it coolates copies of other people's hosts files, not your own file you created by hand. Now, who is the reprehensible piece of shit here? since you can only attack strawmen, I totally expect the EXACT same argument yet again, as you can't beat the actual statement.
LOL - you, a FUCKING LIMITED IN RANGE OF SKILLS IN COMPUTING menial, lol (who has no code the protects others & speeds them up online as I do which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by notables in the art & science of computing)... apk
Again with the insults? Can't take anyone actually questioning your product and pointing out its numerous flaws, you have to try and claim you are so much better than anyone rather than actually addressing the issues.
Do you have links to any statement of GWB indicating any causal relationship between 9/11 and Iraq?
Everything I recall hearing was about WMD, and Saddam claiming he had them...which turned out to be bluster as the only WMD he had were Chemical and Biological weapons and rockets/mortars to deliver them with. Incidentally, these ARE WMD, and were found in Iraq, but they were not the ones that GWB or Saddam were claiming existed in Iraq.
No it doesn't (see using hardcoded favorites above) - & DNS outperforms hosts in GOING DOWN (does a lot) OR poisoning users via redirect poisonings!
So in other words you are a shitty sys admin since your DNS server has uptime issues? My DNS server is only down when I take it down for maintenance, and that is why there are multiple DNS entries in the network configuration. How do redirect poisonings effect a DNS server you run yourself?
DNS resolution far outperforms hosts files as it uses a branching algorithm instead of stepping through a long file. Even for entries you redirect to 0.0.0.0, it will be faster to do the resolution in DNS.
Yes, more resource consumption + moving parts complexity AND POWER USE doesn't = a GOOD solution vs. hosts by using redirect poisoning exploitable DNS locally w/ only a few systems @ home.
So, you are running on a pentium 3 with 256MB of ram? Why are you so concerned about resources, can't you afford a recent computer? The power usage of a DNS server is most definitely less than your shitty hosts file in actual use, but I am sure you made measurements to determine this?
It works easily migrated by central admins via scripts or chronjobs/scheduled tasks with less moving parts complexity, room for exploit & breakdown, OR power usage.
So, slowing down 100k computers is so much better than DNS? A DNS server that is required in an environment like this? I'm glad I didn't work in any company you did, it must have been painful to use those computers.
Yes I have to a seasoned security pro AND coder himself.
AGAIN. One person reviewing your code is NOT a code review. Code reviews are performed by many people to prevent mistakes, and subversion of the process.
So, still the same claim, yet again, refuted here: http://slashdot.org/comments.p... No one is going to steal your software from the code, as you already give it away! If you are that scared of people seeing your code, it isn't because of a concern about theft, that is sure as there is nothing to steal. Copyright covers your code like it covers all other code, no one can legally copy your code without your permission.
I don't "steal" anything (projecting YOU DO)!
So, now you accuse me of theft? But you don't take other people's work? So, where do you get your hosts files since you aren't taking them from other people's work?
By placing users FAVORITE SITES where they spend 95++% of their time online @ the TOP of hosts files cached in RAM, I get them to sites FASTER & MORE RELIABLY than a more-than-potentially REDIRECT POISONED DNS SERVER (99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. the kaminsky flaw, stupid).
So, you lie and redirect. The name resolution performance issue was clearly stated to you, but you have to dodge it to make your solution look better. So, how long does the resolution of items not in your hosts file take? It doesn't matter how many favorites you add, there are always things missing, and adding a static entry for something doesn't fix the issue as many are dynamic in some way.
Slashdot Mirror
China can make all the molds and blades they like, but until they figure out a way to actually ship 50 foot blades around, it really doesn't matter does it?
You do realize that you are responding to someone who was responding to someone else right?
AC:
Why not 3D print the blades directly? I was told, in no uncertain terms, that 3D printing is the future, and anything else is just Luddite.
I was told 3D printed houses, 3D printed cars,3D printed airplanes,3D printed Mars colonies,3D printed rockets,3D printed food,3D printed organs.
Now all you have is a big mold? So what?
But, I know thats a bit much to ask, actually comprehending what you read..
Perhaps you should remove the log in your eye first...
There's a large demographic of /.'ers who are literal,
Are they literally literal?
So, APK, how does it feel to Troll on an article about trolling? If Slashdot worked the way that Twitter is trying to setup, you wouldn't be able to post anymore. How would that make you feel?

Again with the third person? You really are a pathetic creature, aren't you?

Apparently, there is variation in the gravity, which is detected by LIGO. I know, I'll show myself out.
You know, speaking of yourself in the third person is a sign of a mental issue, you really should have that looked at.
Also, constantly espousing your victory when you have succeeded at nothing is manager behavior, not "expert" territory.
OMG, you are HILARIOUS! Insults instead of conversation, thus proving me right!
Perhaps you should link the whole string instead of your last debunked argument. After all, every argument you make was debunked in that thread.
http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
So, when are you going to start addressing the concerns instead of attacking strawmen I never spoke of?
Thanks, I didn't see that.
You added remote DNS to the statement. I never said the DNS was remote, why would I use someone else's DNS I don't trust?

Browsing without an adblocker is like fucking without a condom. You should only do it with someone you really, really trust.
I'm gonna use that as my signature, hope you don't mind.
