Yes, Hosts files is dramatically slower, thank you for agreeing.
DNS has security issues hosts overcome & do better locally resolving for more speed than remote DNS provides (with less complexity by far as well as power & resources consumption) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... [slashdot.org]
Oh? An up to date DNS installation has security issues? Just like your hosts file? Interesting how that works. DNS is far less complex, and you admit you run it in that very post you link to. Are you saying you run DNS when you "know" it has security issues?
We will see where ad networks go in the future, for now you are speculating, and I am speculating, so complaining that I am in "phantasyland" while you are in reality is quite funny.
Here is an example of Ads hosted on the web site, that apparently don't pay:
If you feel so strongly about his, perhaps you should open a competing petition stating that Nestle should not be allowed to force their trademark into the Unicode database without also having to give up the trademark. The proper way to fight an inappropriate petition is to file a competing petition, not bitch about it as an AC on Slashdot.
Tech blunders like claiming you don't post to Slashdot with Proxy servers and that you instead use Network Bridges, like they have the functionality to do it. Perhaps you should rethink your approach, as you clearly don't know how networking works.
I wrote up a concise reply to you, but encountered the lameness filter, it just seems the subject of Hosts is too lame for Slashdot. Every one of your replies is incorrect, and you know it. Hosts files cannot stop spam, spear phishing or whaling, just as I replied, but you failed to actually support your assertion.
Bandwidth caps are alleviated just as much by Adblock Plus, so how is this something that hosts files do better?
Hosts files dramatically decrease the performance of computers, the only increased resolution speed is in the first three records of a hosts file, which is why you hard code your favorites. Every other entry is much slower to resolve than a DNS server with the same exact entries.
Ads served from the same site do pay, this is they way the industry will go next to try and get around blocking. The site you are going to can proxy the connection to the ad network and get around every bit of blocking you are attempting.
Bottom line, Adblock Plus with DNS kicks hosts files to the curb and leaves them bloody.
P.S.=> You can't win Coren22 - you don't possess the saavy of networking or programming I do... apk
Says the person who claims to use a Network Bridge and not a Proxy server and doesn't know the difference between the two. Also, how can you claim to be better at programming when you can't even design a decent installer, and don't even use a proper programming language for your software?
APK, grow up. Not every post disagreeing with you is by me. I don't run any sockpuppets (though you do exactly the same thing with no account). I didn't post this AC reply, but clearly you post impersonating anonymous third parties, so it is a method you know quite well, so I can see how your demented mind would place the blame on someone else, as how else could I have someone agreeing with me if not for me faking it? I don't need to use these tactics, people agree with me quite often without me having to trick anyone.
As to my signature, what does that have to do with anything, my signature points out the hypocrisy of a person being against advertising while spamming the shit out of an online forum. This is clearly fact, so why do you continue to point out my signature like it is some kind of sin?
Last I checked, hosts files could not stop spam, and the phising email would still be received, the link could be blocked. That is if you even know about the site in advance, as often these campaigns are directed, which is called spear phishing or whaling. You also can't clock against IP addresses, and you can't block dynamically generated DNS names. That means the hosts file block is easy to get around, a DNS block with *.example.com would work far better as it would block any attempt at the malware domain, this is clearly something hosts files cannot do.
10.) Protect vs. caps
Clearly it didn't protect against your all cap speech, so I am not sure what you mean. It also cannot be used to protect against baseball caps.
13.) Speed up surfing (adblock & hardcoded favs)
Due to the way Windows handles hosts files, this is a carefully crafted lie. Beyond the hard coded favorites, including any subsequent requests caused by your favorites, all other web browsing is dramatically slowed. It would be far faster to hard code everything in your hosts file into a DNS server as they are better at branching tree algorithms which allows for faster name resolution of numerous entries. Your 2 million + line hosts file makes EVERY query run through the entire hosts file before it fails out to DNS, whereas DNS only has to go through a few entries to get to the address (.com, example, www), so it is much faster for all resolutions other than the first three entries in your hosts file.
You also failed to mention, Adblock Plus does something your hosts file will never be able to do. It will block ads served up by the site itself. You can't ever do this, as one connection to www.example.com is the same as another to the hosts file, but to Adblock, it can tell what are ads and what are not.
Perhaps you should be banned for you libel. I did no impersonation, I saw that someone had posted claiming to be your hero and brought attention to it. Perhaps you should also be banned for impersonating a security expert, as you clearly don't qualify.
You claimed that it was ok to ban religious speech. What if they were banning any advertising directed at women, or any advertising containing black people? It may be different here as it is the UK and not the US, but in the US this activity would be considered against the law just as refusing to serve black people would be against the law.
I would recommend you install real security software such as Adblock Plus and a decent virus scanner. Hosts files cause a serious degradation of any name resolution not found in the hosts file as every single time it has to search the entire hosts file, Windows does not handle hosts files well for the use APK puts it to.
Except that I did nothing of the sort. Someone else must have if it wasn't him, but I did not. I didn't even log in on Thursday, which was Thanksgiving, and as I have a family, and better things to do than argue with more people who act like children.
I just figured he was in a turkey coma, it will be interesting though if there are still no posts on Monday, I will feel anonymous again without all the replies.:)
In the US, where the rail lines don't have electric, the trains are diesel electric serial hybrids. The diesel engine directly runs a generator, which provides power to an electric motor. They have electric braking too, but the power is dumped into a resistor bank, not reused.
Aren't most public transport buses diesel powered? I know the ones in Baltimore are Natural Gas powered, but not all cities have ready access to methane like we do in Baltimore.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
So, are you saying that he is not adhering to Russia, or giving aid and comfort to any of the US's enemies? I am not sure of the definition of adhering in this context, but it is quite easy to see how exposing the methods used to spy would be giving aid to the US's enemies, it after all led directly to Crimea being invaded and annexed.

You do understand that this stuff is classified. It can't just be released.
But what does that have anything to do with what I posted? Defeating strawmen makes you feel good or something?

As far as I recall, from looking at pictures of him, APK is a very large guy. You perhaps shouldn't mix "not fat" with "APK".

Not sure if it really is him, but as you noted the thread is gone, so he may have had enough of it.
