    Illegal immigration is pretty damn high, but I guess you have numbers to show this significant reduction.

    The numbers are about half of what Trump says the numbers are though:

    All someone has to do is distribute the software with some other piece of software that looks legit, wait a week, and then spring up requesting money. This isn't hard to do unfortunately. As far as I understand the current crop of ransomwares for Windows, you have to click on the executable for them to happen. I haven't ever actually run across one yet though, so I could be wrong. You may be too young to remember, but this is not a new thing:

    If you are using Bitcoin as an investment, you are using it wrong. Bitcoin is meant to be a way to transfer money, not to store massive wealth.

    Read definition number 2. You are wrong, Initialism is a subset of Acronyms, not a separate set. Therefore, calling initialisms acronyms is correct usage.

    The rich generally have a small income. When you are talking about the top 1% in income, usually it is doctors and lawyers you are talking about, not the idle rich like Trump.

    If you want to slam the rich, you would have to tax all forms of saving, which will hurt the middle class and rich equally. You have to tax stocks, savings accounts, 401k, and wherever else the rich people store their money and invest. Taxing income always hurts those who work hard and make a lot of money, not the people who are truly rich and rarely do any work.

    I've told him this repeatedly, but he is just so ingrained in his methods, he just assumes any AC calling him out must be the same person, it couldn't possibly be a totally different person that sees his errors.

    Yet again, the same arguments already refuted, acting like you won the discussion. So, are you really in your 50s? If you are, I am truly concerned for your mental health, as you act like a 12 year old.

    Funny how you actually haven't won a single argument against any of your supposed trolls that gave you rightful criticism. Where is the source code so it can be inspected for back doors and security issues anyways?

    P.S.=> Lying about me ISN'T MINOR -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... [slashdot.org]

    I agree, which is why I have never lied, only thrown your own words back at you.

    I didn't libel you, I am not the person who is calling your software malware, it is people on the internet who believe the software slows down their computers and is possibly malicious in nature.

    I never admitted you were right, you just don't understand the difference. Needing admin privileges every time a program updates is a poor design, and it is due to you using 90's technology to try and fight a modern war. Virus scanners don't need admin privileges to update. Adblock software doesn't need admin privileges to update. But our software does, and as you won't reveal your source code, that is an extraordinarily dangerous thing. What is stopping you from pointing my bank's web site at your private server? Nothing, just the possibility of being caught, which would be pretty hard to catch with such a large hosts file, as no one can go through it manually. What are you going to do when Windows gets rid of the hosts file completely? They have already taken steps to make it useless in Windows 10.

    When I am wrong, I admit to being wrong, but as you haven't proven me wrong, why would I admit to it? I am not wrong, not matter how much trolling and spamming you do, it isn't going to make you suddenly right.

    I already responded to this comment, but I will go again. I won't respond to the trollish posts that you reply to every one of my comments with. I have kept that statement true, despite the nearly 200 replies you have given to me. I have no sockpuppets downmodding you, that is happening because your posts are redundant, are trollish, and are offtopic, and people are modding them appropriately.

    What does that KGIII post have to do with AD and DNS? How does that disprove your earlier statement that you claim wasn't you? The GPO comment comes from your reply, the very same one I am talking about where you claimed that hosts files should be distributed by GPO, which is absolutely a waste of resources when there are 1000s of workstations on a network, the better place to load these entries is into the AD DNS server, you then went on to rail against DNS resource usage as if that isn't already a sunk cost, and instead was something being added to AD just to deal with ad networks.

    I can keep this up forever too, I find your need to be right absolutely hilarious, you constantly post about refuted points like you are winning some kind of dick measuring contest, and as if you have won some argument.

    My signature will remain as long as you lose your mind over these minor points I made against your software. Here is the current one for your enjoyment since you refuse to use an account:

    APK likes posting replies. Making APK lose his mind one post at a time.

    Yes, I am a MCSE, and working on my CISSP, but that is ok if you don't believe me, my managers have a copy of my MCSE number, so I don't have to worry about it too much. Since you care so much about credentials, where are yours? Where is your security certification? Where is your degree in computer security? Where is any kind of indication that you actually work in the security industry rather than make programs that collate other people's work?
