Hello Everyone,

While reading on slashdot about the new ways around the popup blockers, I followed a few links, and before I knew it, wound up here:

http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html

This just blew my mind. The guy made a collection of a bunch of advertisement servers, put em in the hosts file and pointed them to 127.0.0.1. Like magic, so many ads don't show up anymore, and instead show a "Page not found" error. He also discusses about how to set up your computer to be a fake webserver so you don't get a lag while looking for yourself.

Anyway, I thought the AO community might appreciate this

Take care,

-ik

P.S. I apologize if this was already discussed, but I used search and could not find anything.
