As I said before: AdBlockers can block specific spammy parts of websites, which HOSTS files can't do. For example, a good AdBlocker can block all your posts from Slashdot by simply matching some content and hiding it using CSS or even removing it using JavaScript. HOSTS can't do anything of the sort.
Which is my entire point - your posts are spam, and your own product can't hide them if the user wanted. The irony is palpable.
So you rail against being called schizophrenic with a textbook example of a schizophrenic rant? Brilliant. It doesn't take a doctor to diagnose a broken leg, just as it doesn't take a psychiatrist to know that someone who keeps vomiting nonsense on slashdot in the particularly acidic, uncoordinated, and generally nonsensical fashion as you do might need some help.
WSJ's poor track record speaks for itself. That means it's untrustworthy as a news source - the sane way to deal with this is to look for a more reputable source. That's how news sources work.
My references to the exaggerated benefits were an attempt at humour. It's unsurprising you didn't get it, as poor humour detection is a symptom of schizophrenia.
None of this doesn't change the fact that your hosts files can't stop the deluge of spam coming from you, whereas a correctly-configured AdBlocker most certainly can. Surely you can see the irony.
The fact you seem to think I'm a nothing in the field of computing is a great example of how you leap to conclusions. You don't know me, but as I challenged your beloved hosts files, you decided that the best way to deflect my accurate criticism is by attempting to belittle me. Normal, sane people who read your posts can see this, whereas I'm assuming you seem to think it as some wonderful debating technique.
I'm not laughing - you need some serious help, as you are clearly mentally unwell.
Every time you cry "shill" because you disagree with someone, you end up looking like a pathetic child lashing out. Grow up, please. You are embarrassing yourself greatly.
So you'd rather not spend less money on subsidising condoms for people, and instead spend more money on cleaning up the mess of a child born into a family which doesn't want or can't care for them? Genius.
You can see where your money goes by looking at the budget break-downs issued by those who take the tax (national or local government). You also have a say by voting. It's really not difficult. If the government had to send you a break-down of how they planned to spend your money, it would cost a fortune, and you'd end up paying more for less. I fear for your child's future if you can't even understand that. You sound like the Libertarian version of Elliot Rodgers. *shudder*
Normal people don't need the gun to their head to realise that parentless children and the mentally disabled wandering the streets is going to cost everyone more than simply paying for them to get care. It seems the only people who have a problem with taxes are so short-sighted to see that taxes for basic social services are saving them money and trouble by getting everyone to do the logical thing, even if the people in question have drunk the Ayn Rand Kool-Aid and can't figure out that no one lives in a vacuum, and everyone relies on everyone else to survive and prosper.

So both you and your neighbour subscribe to an Xmb/s service. He uses Xmb/s, and you use X*0.1mb/s, and you want his service degraded? You haven't really thought this through, have you...
I doubt anyone's going to confuse Google's Android package filename extension with the Slashdot kook who's always banging on about hosts files like they cure AIDS and raise the dead, spamming Slashdot in the process. It's kind of strange as your divine hosts solution is supposed to stop advertising, yet it can do nothing to stop yours.
You've just highlighted the problem - what is there for them to not like about someone, and vice versa? Do shoe shops have these problems, too? Or delis? Of course not. It's some weird thing specifically to do with car salesmen, and precisely to do with their weird way of bargaining and the "dance" that must be played just to purchase some hardware.
You do realise that it's simply not normal for how a person feels about a salesperson or vice versa to affect anything.
Are you American or something? Restricting alcohol sales simply forces the problem underground. Proper healthcare is needed to fix alcohol issues, including preventative education.
It appears you're pretty warped yourself. Making alcoholics walk further or drink moonshine isn't going to help them.
The world getting hotter due to human activity = Anthropogenic Global Warming The changes in the climate due to the world getting hotter = Climate Change
It's not hard to understand what these terms mean if you decide for one heartbeat to be open and actually try to educate yourself.
It would help if you stopped confusing two years of local hurricanes with a long-term global trend... That just makes you sound like you have no idea what you're talking about, but value your own opinion so much that nothing will stop you telling everyone about it.
No, using "could be" is correct scientific terminology for denoting a prediction is not entirely certain. That's it. The rest of your diatribe is a mix of misunderstanding, conjecture, and political nonsense. You seem to be confused as to whether you are lambasting the science or the politics - it just looks like an angry mess.
Your educators should be fired, as they messed up greatly.
Even if he earned that money burning tires in someone's back yard it doesn't change the fact that his claim about "5-7 years/75% chance of seasonal ice being gone" was accurate, and that the science behind it is accurate. Even if he earned money hand-over-fist from some draconian carbon tax that also would not make the science incorrect. You really do sound like a creationist or anti-vaxxer. It's tragic. Whoever educated you failed miserably.
Gore didn't even lie. He said there was a strong chance it could be ice-free in the summer months within a few years. That nearly came to pass - we can see the summer ice lessening. He was right, but as most people left out the language he used (which pointed at it being a possibility, not a certainty), it's another one of those misquotes trotted out by people with an axe to grind and a terrible education.

No, it's definitely spelt with a G.

He was right, but as most people left out the language he used (which pointed at it being a possibility, not a certainty), it's another one of those misquotes trotted out by people with an axe to grind and a terrible education.
It doesn't change the underlying science, though, which is what the OP was claiming. So no, in the context of models, it doesn't matter one iota.
No wonder you are confused about AGW: you seem to get your scientific understanding from politicians.
See what the scientists are claiming, not what Al Gore is saying. Conflating the two only reflects poorly on you, not on the science.
Back to the drawing board with your snide, trite comments. Maybe the next one will not make you look like a fool. Here's hoping.
