The only place I can see needing to know the address is when plugging it into a server to get a static address (DHCP is very bad for servers for numerous reasons), and also plugging it into the router to pipe ports to servers. But in both of those places, copy and paste works great!
Well, we did invent the internet, I suppose we could just take them all back. Maybe we can even claim they are our IP and everyone is using them without permission.
If you were speaking of Kuwait, this would make some sense, though I don't believe that the liberation there led to the US owning any of the oil there. However, I am pretty sure you speak of Iraq, in which case, I just have to ask you why you believe going to war was easier or better than just relieving the sanctions and buying oil from Saddam? Why do you believe that that war was over oil despite the fact that we were at the time refusing to buy their oil, and could have quite easily. Saddam would have been very willing to sell us oil, he wasn't holding it back after all, he was looking for someone to buy up his stock.
So what about when you don't work in corporate IT? Not every admin approves of your garbage software, so those who might like it in an org that don't have admin rights have no way to get your crap onto the machines. I guess it is a self solving problem after all, nevermind.:)
It seems in the last 5-10 years most people have started carrying a GPS receiver most places they go. Accessing this data currently requires a warrant, but is theoretically possible given the nature of the system being described.
The vehicular manslaughter as a felony leading to a murder charge would fall under double jeopardy. You would have to show him committing another felony, and I don't think drunk driving is a felony
Hosts files are EASILY network-wide migratable by domain admins & scripts for 1 method!
So, how does that help the normal user who isn't a domain admin and has no access to edit the hosts file? I still don't see this happening unless you have admin privs, in which case, it is FAR better to use your domain's DNS server to host the list rather than deploying a hosts file all over your domain.
APK, your schizophrenia is showing again, you might want to put that away. I answered correctly no, because he is wrong. No matter how much deflection being put on the issue, DNSBL will never be the same thing as DNS Blocking. DNSBL is used by mail servers to provide a list of spammers (like APK) that will have all mail dropped by the mail server. No matter how much twisting of the truth you do APK, it will never change this fact. You will never get an email to flow to a server using a DNSBL if you are on that list. It doesn't matter how many hosts files you use. You would have to edit the hosts file on the destination mail server, which by definition isn't your mail server.
How is a normal user supposed to know that your hosts file isn't causing them a MiTM attack on their banking site? How is a normal user on a corporate computer supposed to use your hosts file? How is anyone absolutely sure that an update you push out to your hosts file isn't going to compromise their machine?
You said DNSBL in your list of items that your hosts file prevents/gets around. DNSBL is not the same thing as DNS Blocking, they are totally different technologies. I don't care what mythical scenario you come up with, hosts will never get you past DNSBL. You can make your own personal definition of DNSBL be pink if you want, it doesn't change the rest of the world's definition of DNSBL.
So, the answer is NO, it will not stop being no just because of your wishful thinking. When you are willing to stop for a minute and read about what a DNSBL is, then maybe you will learn something, but until then you are just being a troll.
If Slashdot's mail server is using a DNSBL, you WILL NOT be able to send them an email. Therefore, the answer is no. If you try to change the definition of DNSBL, you can make it pink instead of what it is, but that doesn't change what everyone else says DNSBL is.

You do that so well, it is almost like you have had management training.
You use the DNS server built into your internet router.
Run Forrest Run!

Proven wrong yet again.

It was also ruled legal. So, what now?

The Supreme court will now have to rule, so we will see.
I just get skipper to yell for him. KOWALSKI!
Calling yourself my better APK, while being proven flat out wrong by numerous people, wow, that is hilarious.
Also, don't forget to assign 127.127.127.127 as your computer's IP, that will fix all networking issues.
Well, we did invent the internet, I suppose we could just take them all back. Maybe we can even claim they are our IP and everyone is using them without permission.

Being wrong isn't a lie either. Perhaps he just misread the signs.
Isn't that problem kind of solving itself? Pornhub offers free porn, no need for the other sites to even exist anymore.
I have never understood why anyone would pay for porn, but I guess it takes all kinds.

Since you know the NSA leadership has violated your rights, maybe you should open a court case.
Last I heard it was suspected but not proven. As what was done was deemed legal, I would be careful of wording as what you just wrote is libel.

READ and LEARN:

If you can show how DNS Blocking is the same thing as a DNSBL, that would make your statement fact.
Until you can resolve the issue of DNSBL being on the destination system, not the source, your hosts file will do nothing to resolve the issue.
You posted an inaccurate statement, just correct it and stop being so stupidly stubborn.
You really like being proven wrong so badly while clinging to the belief that you are right don't you?
How does Hosts block DNSBL:

How is a normal user supposed to know that your hosts file isn't causing them a MiTM attack on their banking site? How is a normal user on a corporate computer supposed to use your hosts file? How is anyone absolutely sure that an update you push out to your hosts file isn't going to compromise their machine?
Since when did these two things become the same thing?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... =/= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
You said DNSBL, not DNS blocking, they are different things used for different purposes.
The answer to your questions is:
You said DNSBL in your list of items that your hosts file prevents/gets around.
DNSBL is not the same thing as DNS Blocking, they are totally different technologies.
I don't care what mythical scenario you come up with, hosts will never get you past DNSBL.
You can make your own personal definition of DNSBL be pink if you want, it doesn't change the rest of the world's definition of DNSBL.

Well, it does "travel" through "time".

Therefore, yes I agree you do fail, you are wrong, you should go home and pout.
