    Does your software require elevation, of course it does, that was my point, not yours. I was making the point that elevation is a bad idea, and it is required to write to the hosts file because you shouldn't be writing to the hosts file. If you take that to mean that I am agreeing with you, you really do have an odd mind.

    I am not agreeing with you, that was my original statement, and the whole basis of the argument. Ad Block Plus requires no elevation, it therefore cannot install trojans, it cannot hijack your DNS entry in networking to redirect it to another site possibly effecting a MiTM attack, it cannot change anything your standard user account can't access. Also, it can be installed to machines where you aren't an administrator, such as work computers.

    If you send me an email, and my mail server is using a DNSBL, my server will get a response such as 127.0.0.5, this would indicate that you send spam (true...), and therefore my email server would drop the email you sent. Please explain how your hosts file will get around DNSBL now, as it isn't something under your control.

    The last digit in the response usually corresponds to the reason that the mail server was blacklisted in some of the DNSBL providers. The RFC calls for the reason to be in a TXT field though.

    If you don't believe me, do a Google search for DNSBL and see what it returns, it surely won't return what you are saying.

    If Slashdot's mail server used a DNSBL, you would never even know your email was refused, it would not reach timothy, he wouldn't even know you had sent an email. Your hosts file will never get around it.

    11.) Get you by dnsbl

    This is a false statement. If you meant it to say DNS Blocking, than change it to that in your future spam.

    Apparently I am dumb, as I actually know what a DNS black list is, and you don't.

    http://www.dnsbl.info/

    Blacklists are used by mail servers to automatically black hole messages from known spammers. They are not used by your web browser, so adding a BLed address to your hosts file would be 1. extraordinarily dumb, and 2. not do anything.

    If you don't know what a term means, don't just assume that the name describes it, instead you should look it up and read about it.

    Also, that is actually nonsensical as a DNS BL is something you are added to that the other person uses, you can't get by it by using a hosts file on either end (as a hosts file isn't anything like a DNS BL).

    But that is ok, when you bring up problems with his hosts files, it is nothing but ad hominem and "I totally showed you up" when he did nothing of the sort.

    I like your comment, it is quite funny, but to address the question:

    The packets are larger (more bits) so take longer to transmit, and more memory to store. Also, ASICs are built for IPv4, they don't work for IPv6, so much of IPv6 traffic is done in CPU rather than ASICs which is less efficient in power usage.

    I doubt the power difference is terribly high, but at an Amazon level, it would likely be noticeable.
