    Brand-new Hosts file - will nail all the ads, spyware, improve your bandwidth, etc.....

    I now have an 11,500-line hosts file.
    ( Started reviewing my old one and couldn't stop - ended up increasing
    it by 10x after about 2 days' work trawling through the Security
    sites)

    My bandwidth is no longer being pummelled by advertising and other
    crap I don't want to see.

    Especially useful to nail that 2% of PCs on your network that use 25%
    of your internet bandwidth......stick my Hosts file on them to sort
    them out.......

    Here is a tiny snippet: (If you want the whole thing....I can ftp it
    to you if you want, or something...I don't imagine 11,500 lines would
    go down too well here....)

    Wow, you've got WAY too much time on your hands...

    Stupidest Comment of the Year Award:

    "People should take responsibility for their actions"

    - (Leftist) Matty F (7/1/2007), when explaining it was actually the quadbiker's
    fault that he was brutally murdered by Graeme Burton. According to Matty F,
    it was his fault that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time...



    Best Rant of the Year Award:

    "Interesting to see the Green ******* even at a supermarket shopping, instead
    of living off the land growing his own food. At least he's helped to keep the
    cogs and polution of industry going by shopping at supermarkets which sell
    products from large filthy factories [that] use stinking diesel trucks
    polluting the damn countryside just to get the goods to Nandor's favourite
    supermarket. Well done Nandor you two faced tax paid good for nothing *******"

    - E. Scrooge (1/3/2007), a little unhappy about the Green's proposal to ban
    supermarket bags...

    So ****ing what? You're dumb enough to spend two full days combing websites
    to build a ****ing hosts file just to avoid a few duplicates. And when you
    download one in less than one second that's already made, you're ****ing mad
    enough to check through it for dupes.

    You're a ****ing wackjob. <--- That was the point being made originally, and
    it's the point being reasserted now.

    Er, so some of us have higher standards than others?

    Am I right?

    Yes.
