You were not asked a question - you simply unloaded your bowels all over this thread before anyone had a chance to get a word in. You're doing the world a real favour there, jackass.
Or, perhaps you were referring to this, a comment from someone who values your contribution about as much as I do:
Yes, fine for a few machines... but how about 5000? You really want to make 5000 hosts file entries every time you want to lock down a domain name? idk, running your own DNS server, and locking that down, sounds shittons easier.
Let me clue you in: this is a literary technique known as rhetoric. You demonstrate your conceit, pathetic over-eagerness and power the mammoth chip on your shoulder has over you when you respond.
Oh, and can I assume you're going to ignore the -1 mod you got on your 'solution', posted above? You can't very well include it, can you, because this wouldn't help your argument.
APK: always ready to overlook the truth in your campaign to claim everything as a 'victory'.
Well, see your sentiments there, outnumbered by/. posters regarding my posts as NOT being 'drivel' in the link above - you FAIL, as always & to the tune of nearly 250:1 against you!
It's very telling of your cognitive and reasoning abilities that you think your list provides evidence to the contrary.
It's a pity you can't seem to understand simple concepts. Despite your vanity list (66% of which are lame +1 posts), it is clear to all that you are modded down with much greater frequency than you are modded up. I'm sorry that you don't get that.
If through some miracle you finally managed to understand this, you'd also understand that posting your list (again) doesn't magically prove your point for you.
Not exactly holding my breath waiting for your 'Aha!' moment.
What you have is a bunch of twaddle and a long-running claim of my 'failure' and your 'victory'. You don't seem to be able to address my actual arguments nor have you made any compelling points. No, posting an unbalanced and unscientific list in support of your claim is not considered a 'compelling point' by most people.
Post another list, claim another 'victory', goto 10. This is your method of debate, visible nearly every time you end up in an argument. Weak, APK, really really weak.
No, it doesn't. It simply shows you attempting to defend yourself with more lists. You just don't seem to get that I don't care about your hosts rubbish. My beef is with you and your inflated self-opinion that results in you attempting to 'educate' everyone about your little pet subject at every opportunity even when you've already posted it hundreds of times.
Am I correct in my understanding that you are seriously suggesting your coveted 244 up-moderations are evidence for the quality of your postings?
If so, am I also correct in my understanding that you do not believe your myriad down-moderations over the same period count against you in the same way as the up-moderations count for you?
If this really is the case, perhaps you can further explain the methodology you employed to reach this conclusion?
In other news, the Pope delivered an afternoon sermon, prompting APK to claim 'victory'.
Later on, APK crapped his pants and claimed a 'crushing defeat' for all his enemies.
That evening, in bed, APK cracked a fart and found himself immediately rushing to his computer to claim another 'victory' for APK and his list of upmods.
In the morning, the birds began singing. You guessed it - this is a sure sign that APK's detractors just 'ate their words' and suffered the 'bitter taste of self-defeat', resulting in another clear 'victory' for APK and his powers of reasoning.
You can keep posting your silly list as much as you like, it proves nothing except that over the course of eight years, even a stopped clock like yourself can be right twice a day. Your list does you more harm than good, so keep posting it!
Claim another hollow victory, man-child.
Every time you post that shit you prove to everyone that you just don't have a clue and can't make a reasoned argument.
No, APK, the point was nobody defends YOU, or did that terribly complex distinction sail over your head as well?
How do your words taste, since you HAD to "eat them" flavored with 'the bitter taste of SELF-DEFEAT' & YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH?
A very colourful fantasy, for sure. I'm pretty sure you're the only one who agrees with you.
I'm curious; where are all your AC 'friends' who always seem to be around to write in your style and back you up when you're feeling cornered? Such childishness, APK, fits neatly onto your own definition of 'reprehensible behaviour' you frequently accuse me of.
I don't need TV comedy, I've got APK to keep me chuckling!:-)
The fact that you think this is 'evidence' to prove your point simply confirms mine: you have no argument and a list of up-mods (over an eight year period for goodness sake, how pathetic can you be) is all you have by way of support for your case. Your list provides evidence that most of what you say is barely worth reading, especially as fully two thirds only received a +1.
Yet, you still think this is a 'win' for you. How them critical thinking skills, APK?
Now, it would be relatively easy to discredit you further if I had the time to gather up every example of your repeated down-modding. I'm sure you would agree my list would be much larger than yours.
However my argument is that such a list is quite unnecessary for most thinking people. You are a pariah here on Slashdot and everybody knows it; no amount of list-spewing from anyone will change that.
You're just too stupid to understand that your list is meaningless. Simply observe the general reaction of/. posters to your drivel and you'll see what I mean. Well, maybe not, on second thought. Perhaps if you weren't suffering a superiority complex that prevents you from interacting with reality, but before then, probably not.
I'll repeat: you are too stupid to understand that your list is meaningless without a corresponding list of your down-mods. Understand? No, I didn't think so. It's very hard to get a person to understand a thing when the basis for his argument is dependent upon not understanding a thing.
Easily utterly dusting you by letting you dust yourself, lol, & making you "EAT YOUR WORDS", flavored with "the bitter taste of SELF-DEFEAT" & YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH!
Very colourful, keep dreaming. You are obviously deranged if you think you can 'dust' me by failing to respond to my points. No, spewing nonsense lists that have long since been debunked doesn't help your case. Only an ignorant child would claim victory in this circumstance.
I'll post what I want, where I want, & how ever much I want - got that? Good.
* Get over yourself
Oh, I'm quite content with myself, thank you for asking. I believe it is you who is suffering personality issues and delusions of grandeur, not myself, as I'm not the one who gets asked to take his meds by other people on a regular basis (your feeble attempts at this notwithstanding)
- you don't give ME, orders... & you're certainly not qualified on anything else (hence your psycho off topic stalkings of myself).
APK
I love your confidence in stating obvious nonsense.. unless, of course, you are fully privy to my educational and industry qualifications somehow? No? Thought not. Another APK logic fail. You're not really very good at this, are you?
P.S.=> Now, do us all a big favor: Crawl back into the hole you came from, alright? LOL... apk
No, APK. That would do only you a favour. I don't do favours for retards.
Please continue to call me a troll though, when the evidence is there for all to see: I am simply responding to your cry-baby "why does everyone mod poor old APK down?" post and have used your mindless spewing of hostfile crap on other threads as an example to help you understand your own idiocy a little better. So don't call me a troll when you have brought this upon yourself, man-child.
You're too self-obsessed to understand. You ignorantly conflate my contempt for you with a criticism of the technical validity of your hostfile gibberish. So, in effect, you are setting up a straw man argument that has nothing to do with what I am attacking you for, just so you can knock it down triumphantly and claim another 'victory' for APK the Dean of Delusion.
BOY did I 'do a job' on you... pity you can't handle what you bring on yourself!
Can you show me even one example where you actually engaged my argument enough to 'do a job' on me? You haven't addressed any of my points, you've just barfed hostfile crap and a bunch of links to the wrong comments (I'd proof your links before posting if I were you - all your links go to your own wafflings). You like to claim this stuff but you still fail to understand over and over that you are simply cowering behind your hostfile screeds to yap at me like a small dog when the argument is something completely different.
You're reactionary and dull-witted, lifting up your 'Hostfile manifesto' placard as a universal argument in an attempt to silence your critics, regardless of the nature of their criticism. You fail on so many levels it's quite extraordinary.
Case in point:
No disproving my points on hosts either! You never stay on topic either... ah, you're just an amusement to me, a diversion @ this point - one that makes ME, look GOOD too (thanks, lol).
No, APK, I've said numerous times that I don't take issue with the technical details of your hostfile postings, because I don't read them.
Why are you so incapable of simple reasoning? Why do you consistently attempt to re-frame the argument into something it is not? When are you going to get it that your hostfile stuff isn't the problem, YOU are?
Did they suggest them to me? No! BOTH in logon scripts & AD level rights + abilities (to access nodes/disks/shares to copy over hosts to any LAN/WAN network node) - show me otherwise.
What is this drivel? What has this even got to do with what I just said? What are you replying to? A question that only you heard perhaps? Re-read my post and try to understand it this time.
There's a reason you get lots of advice to 'seek help', both here and across the various boards on the Internet. How's it feel to a global laughing-stock, man-child? Whenever I see a post from you on the net, little exchange between you and someone else is required before they (and others usually) query you as to whether you're off your meds that day.
What's it like to be a living piece of Internet comedy? What's it like, having to lie to yourself so you won't have to face the truth?
Just "face the music" here, & disprove my points on hosts files (which cure this problem with DNS servers no less by not having to access them the way my program allows) blah blah blah blah
What is this drivel? Are you still convinced you can successfully defend yourself from any attack with your limp-wristed wittering about something nobody really gives a shit about?
lol... yes, you have issues, you caused them for yourself!)
... apk
Oh, I've got issues alright, but they're not too dissimilar from most people's issues. They tend toward the mundane; I have issues over being Here when I need to be There and vice versa, however like most people I mitigate these issues with conventional means. In the case of this example, I drive a vehicle to get from Here to There.
Your issues, however - yes, the ones lots of people mention when you post on Internet forums - are a little deeper-seated than mine, I'm afraid. The fact that your responses to people questioning your mental health is so well-rehearsed tells a story all of its own. Nothing like the overwhelming anecdotal evidence of a thousand strangers observing your behaviour and calling you crazy, huh? Don't worry APK, it's going to be alright, they're wrong and you're right, shhhh, there there, it's going to be alright.
You're seriously deranged. I've looked over those posts of yours and they say nothing about your worthless stinking hosts file. My comments were a response to seeing your goddamn Church of the Hostfile proselytising again and being sick of the sight of it and sick of seeing poorly-formatted rubbish from you.
Somehow you pea-brained this into a technical complaint about your hosts file sputum. I mean, how can you misconstrue a statement as simple as this one I posted in response to yet another mindless spewing of massive, mis-formatted Hostfile horseshit with typical APK evangelical fervour:
How many times have YOU personally run from disproving my points on hosts
How many times have you had it pointed out to you that I don't give a fuck about your hosts stuff, I just want you to shut the fuck up about it?
Hosts files may be just as shiny, wonderful and stay-sharp as you say they are - I don't take any issue with that, get it? I just don't fucking care! Stop conflating that with a technical objection already, I simply don't care enough about the hosts file to argue the point! Is that so hard to understand?
My overall point about you stands: on balance, you are not a worthwhile contributor to Slashdot. No, I don't need to be the highest-rated user here to say that. No, a list of times your jumbled dross managed to get moderated to +1 from 0 does not prove anything and certainly not without a corresponding list of down-mods.
What about all the other inanities of yours I've responded to that you've failed to understand and replied with more lists and garbage? Did I 'run' from those too? Why, yes I did, in APK parlance. Because APK automatically 'wins' everything and won't let reality get in the way of a nice imagined victory or two.
was your "FoaMiNg-@-TeH-MouTh"
What the fuck is this shit supposed to be anyway? This is something I'd expect to see on a site for tweenies. Grow up, you fifty-year-old manchild.
how effete & ineffectual you are
Hmm, effete eh? That's a nice word from a spineless yellow-belly who can't address a simple argument, APK. Goodness knows I've offered you plenty but you've cowardly avoided them all; now you accuse me of same, hypocrite.
Thanks for the laugh APK, I just checked out the last of your three lower links in your post. It provides a beautiful example of your technique:
I wrote:
Oh, what a surprise, someone mentioned the hosts file and look.. not half a day later(snip)

Uhm... Could we get a translation of that off-topic "troll-speak/trolllanguage" of yours, please?
That's right - he reversed my words then complained he couldn't read the resulting text.
Just gorgeous, a purer example of Straw Man in the wild than this would be a rare treat indeed.
APK, I take my hat off, the fail is strong with you.
LMAO - When I challenge you to it? You do, and you failed
No, APK, I wasn't replying to you about your fucking hosts file rubbish and you know it. You are welcome to clumsily switch my answers around in a childish little pantomime but it just shows you up for the dishonest intellectual weakling you are. We were talking about code, if you recall. Surely you can't be that ill as to involuntarily conflate the two concepts in that nutty little head of yours?
Why can't you make even a single argument that stands on its own without the need of your typical methods of relying on spam, irrelevant and delusional commentary, public self-preening and screeched insults for support? I can hold my own without any of that, why are you so damn weak?
Ooooh, look, a bird flew overhead, that'll be another 'victory' for APK then. Ah, now a car just beeped its horn, another clear 'victory' for the mighty APK.
You're NOT one, that's certain... lol, see below!
By the way? WHERE ARE THEY THEN?? WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE THE SUGGESTIONS FOR THEM???
It is another clear example of your egocentricity and arrogance that you feel you have to make the suggestions for them. Grow up, man-child and stop shouting.
Oh and you've got some real clever reasoning going on there, pal. You obviously think that 'because no expert in networking got a post in before me (as I camped out hoping for a first post), there can't possibly be anyone with any networking knowledge on the forum!' Yup, that's right APK, we were all just sitting out there in our ignorance until APK the Hostfile Hero came along to lay a fat Mr. Whippy information-turd into our collective gaping mouths.
Hoooray! Thanks goodness for our Hostfile Hero! Another 'victory' for APK the Anonymous Assclown!
It now occurs to me that you didn't understand what I was saying to you in the earlier post, so let me spell it out so there's no confusion:
I don't care what you are coding, be it hosts-related or something to do with the dead poodle in your chest freezer. It's irrelevant to me, because I've seen how you post, how you argue, how you reason and how erratic you are. That's enough to know I have no interest in anything you produce; it is valueless to me.
Please keep detailed records of all the times other people find themselves exasperated at seeing the same tired old shite popping up from you. The same boring crap that gets posted and sometimes repeatedly posted the moment anyone mentions anything which could possibly be construed by an OCD manchild as fair game for squeezing in a mention of his own cure-all hosts file solution.
It seems to be the only level you are capable of operating at, or perhaps you hypocritically missed that part where most of what you have posted is precisely that. I've noticed that reasoned arguments appear to somehow bounce off your little noggin. Nothing sinks in. It leaves precious little room for much else when people like you, APK, face even the most basic of arguments by sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "LA LA HOSTS HOSTS LA LA" by way of rebuttal.
You are consistent, I'll give you that - you never FAIL, to fail, vs. myself... lol!
... apk
Yeah, you're one hell of a badass. You're a real Internet toughguy, I know, you say so all the time so it must be true, right? Did you actually have a basis to your argument after all that?
Hey, APK, how long to you intend to stay asleep at the keyboard? You've got it into your pointy little head that you need to convince me about your goddamn hosts file. I don't care about your technical drivel, I have no interest in countering it or even reading it completely; you could be completely right or completely wrong and it wouldn't make any difference to me at all. You can claim you 'won' the argument because I won't engage with regard to your hosts crap but I can play that game just as easily, by demanding you read through a local phone book (or something equally irrelevant) first and claim my own 'victory'. It would be just as Phyrric a victory and just as childish as the basis for all your arguments. All you are capable of is regurgitate-and-spit-insults. If there's anything more to you than that I've not seen any evidence.
Any real argument and you're the first to turn tail and flee, you gutless retard.
No, APK, I don't need to have done better personally to call you out on your stupidity. When is that going to sink into your thick, thick head? One does not need to be a chicken to know a bad egg!
Furthermore, I note you fail to respond to my assertion. You make a bone-headed statement that shows up your myopic world-view, get yourself called on it then respond with irrelevances, lists of junk and childish name-calling. In other words, you say anything to ignore or otherwise cowardly avoid the point.
In your arrogance you then go on to issue nonsense 'challenges' and deem anyone who doesn't want their time wasted with your drivel to have 'run from the challenge'. Real logic at work there, pal.
As it happens, I am a hobby programmer. I enjoy writing and tweaking tight code and I wouldn't trouble myself with your jumble of source given the quality of your disjointed, rambling, barely-coherent posts. Get on to some meds, buddy, you're in orbit.
Poor man-child, wipe away your tears! You received a polite and genuine response from someone, there's no need to roll around on the floor screaming in fury, leaving urine-stains on the carpet.
It's hard to believe you are (by your own admission) something like fifty years old. I can't say I've met anyone over the age of about twenty who'd be as shameless as to behave the way you do, APK, you immature little sniveller.

My comments were a response to seeing your goddamn Church of the Hostfile proselytising again and being sick of the sight of it and sick of seeing poorly-formatted rubbish from you.
Somehow you pea-brained this into a technical complaint about your hosts file sputum. I mean, how can you misconstrue a statement as simple as this one I posted in response to yet another mindless spewing of massive, mis-formatted Hostfile horseshit with typical APK evangelical fervour:
Oh fuck off, fuck off FUCK OFF ALREADY!!
Nevertheless, APK managed to fuck it up again.
How many times have YOU personally run from disproving my points on hosts
How many times have you had it pointed out to you that I don't give a fuck about your hosts stuff, I just want you to shut the fuck up about it?
Hosts files may be just as shiny, wonderful and stay-sharp as you say they are - I don't take any issue with that, get it? I just don't fucking care! Stop conflating that with a technical objection already, I simply don't care enough about the hosts file to argue the point! Is that so hard to understand?
My overall point about you stands: on balance, you are not a worthwhile contributor to Slashdot. No, I don't need to be the highest-rated user here to say that. No, a list of times your jumbled dross managed to get moderated to +1 from 0 does not prove anything and certainly not without a corresponding list of down-mods.
What about all the other inanities of yours I've responded to that you've failed to understand and replied with more lists and garbage? Did I 'run' from those too? Why, yes I did, in APK parlance. Because APK automatically 'wins' everything and won't let reality get in the way of a nice imagined victory or two.
was your "FoaMiNg-@-TeH-MouTh"
What the fuck is this shit supposed to be anyway? This is something I'd expect to see on a site for tweenies. Grow up, you fifty-year-old manchild.
how effete & ineffectual you are
Hmm, effete eh? That's a nice word from a spineless yellow-belly who can't address a simple argument, APK. Goodness knows I've offered you plenty but you've cowardly avoided them all; now you accuse me of same, hypocrite.
Thanks for the laugh APK, I just checked out the last of your three lower links in your post. It provides a beautiful example of your technique:
I wrote:
Oh, what a surprise, someone mentioned the hosts file and look.. not half a day later(snip)

"???"
Uhm... Could we get a translation of that off-topic "troll-speak/trolllanguage" of yours, please?
That's right - he reversed my words then complained he couldn't read the resulting text.
Just gorgeous, a purer example of Straw Man in the wild than this would be a rare treat indeed.
APK, I take my hat off, the fail is strong with you.
LMAO - When I challenge you to it? You do, and you failed
No, APK, I wasn't replying to you about your fucking hosts file rubbish and you know it. You are welcome to clumsily switch my answers around in a childish little pantomime but it just shows you up for the dishonest intellectual weakling you are.
We were talking about code, if you recall. Surely you can't be that ill as to involuntarily conflate the two concepts in that nutty little head of yours?
Why can't you make even a single argument that stands on its own without the need of your typical methods of relying on spam, irrelevant and delusional commentary, public self-preening and screeched insults for support? I can hold my own without any of that, why are you so damn weak?
Ooooh, look, a bird flew overhead, that'll be another 'victory' for APK then. Ah, now a car just beeped its horn, another clear 'victory' for the mighty APK.
You're NOT one, that's certain... lol, see below!
By the way? WHERE ARE THEY THEN?? WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE THE SUGGESTIONS FOR THEM???
It is another clear example of your egocentricity and arrogance that you feel you have to make the suggestions for them. Grow up, man-child and stop shouting.
Oh and you've got some real clever reasoning going on there, pal. You obviously think that 'because no expert in networking got a post in before me (as I camped out hoping for a first post), there can't possibly be anyone with any networking knowledge on the forum!'
Yup, that's right APK, we were all just sitting out there in our ignorance until APK the Hostfile Hero came along to lay a fat Mr. Whippy information-turd into our collective gaping mouths.
Hoooray! Thanks goodness for our Hostfile Hero! Another 'victory' for APK the Anonymous Assclown!
It now occurs to me that you didn't understand what I was saying to you in the earlier post, so let me spell it out so there's no confusion:
I don't care what you are coding, be it hosts-related or something to do with the dead poodle in your chest freezer. It's irrelevant to me, because I've seen how you post, how you argue, how you reason and how erratic you are. That's enough to know I have no interest in anything you produce; it is valueless to me.
Please keep detailed records of all the times other people find themselves exasperated at seeing the same tired old shite popping up from you. The same boring crap that gets posted and sometimes repeatedly posted the moment anyone mentions anything which could possibly be construed by an OCD manchild as fair game for squeezing in a mention of his own cure-all hosts file solution.
Ad hominem attacks... oh the pity of it!
It seems to be the only level you are capable of operating at, or perhaps you hypocritically missed that part where most of what you have posted is precisely that. I've noticed that reasoned arguments appear to somehow bounce off your little noggin. Nothing sinks in. It leaves precious little room for much else when people like you, APK, face even the most basic of arguments by sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "LA LA HOSTS HOSTS LA LA" by way of rebuttal.
You are consistent, I'll give you that - you never FAIL, to fail, vs. myself... lol!
... apk
Yeah, you're one hell of a badass. You're a real Internet toughguy, I know, you say so all the time so it must be true, right?
Did you actually have a basis to your argument after all that?
Hey, APK, how long to you intend to stay asleep at the keyboard? You've got it into your pointy little head that you need to convince me about your goddamn hosts file. I don't care about your technical drivel, I have no interest in countering it or even reading it completely; you could be completely right or completely wrong and it wouldn't make any difference to me at all. You can claim you 'won' the argument because I won't engage with regard to your hosts crap but I can play that game just as easily, by demanding you read through a local phone book (or something equally irrelevant) first and claim my own 'victory'. It would be just as Phyrric a victory and just as childish as the basis for all your arguments. All you are capable of is regurgitate-and-spit-insults. If there's anything more to you than that I've not seen any evidence.
Any real argument and you're the first to turn tail and flee, you gutless retard.
No, APK, I don't need to have done better personally to call you out on your stupidity. When is that going to sink into your thick, thick head? One does not need to be a chicken to know a bad egg!
Furthermore, I note you fail to respond to my assertion. You make a bone-headed statement that shows up your myopic world-view, get yourself called on it then respond with irrelevances, lists of junk and childish name-calling. In other words, you say anything to ignore or otherwise cowardly avoid the point.
In your arrogance you then go on to issue nonsense 'challenges' and deem anyone who doesn't want their time wasted with your drivel to have 'run from the challenge'. Real logic at work there, pal.
As it happens, I am a hobby programmer. I enjoy writing and tweaking tight code and I wouldn't trouble myself with your jumble of source given the quality of your disjointed, rambling, barely-coherent posts. Get on to some meds, buddy, you're in orbit.
APK, you asked for it, you got it, now you cry.
Poor man-child, wipe away your tears! You received a polite and genuine response from someone, there's no need to roll around on the floor screaming in fury, leaving urine-stains on the carpet.
It's hard to believe you are (by your own admission) something like fifty years old. I can't say I've met anyone over the age of about twenty who'd be as shameless as to behave the way you do, APK, you immature little sniveller.
