PETER FOLDES Does not know how to give computer advice AVOID IT!!

Peter the Stupid (PtS) can't make his mind up if a HOSTS file is
advisable. Here are two posts 1.5 hours apart from each other. First he
says that using a HOSTS file is 'bad advice', only an hour and half
later he does a 180� and recommends one.  

This jackwad is inconsistent at best, a dirty low-down liar at worse. Do
yourself a favor and disregard any technical advice from this lunatic.

That's not the way I read it. It looked to me like PF wanted to warn against 
BD's suggestion about reducing the hosts file to its default (nearly empty) 
state just to see if a slowdown is being caused by it. BD *did* ask Betty if it 
was being actively used.

What about this gem: "Use one yes but not that outdated one from MS"

What MS one is he talking about?  Following the KB article just resets
the file to the default example one.  Does M$ distribute a pre-populated
HOSTS file that I'm unaware of?

Nope! :-)

We are moored just outside the dry dock into which our narrowboat will 
be transferred in a day or two - once the current incumbent leaves! We 
had friends visit yesterday who took us back to base to retrieve our car 
- which is now parked nearby!

We are going home tomorrow, leaving our boat keys with the painter! 
We'll come back to see the boat in about 5 or 6 days when she's been 
stripped back to bare metal. The painter wants us to *see* that he is 
doing a 'proper job'! ;-)

Btw - it's around 32 degrees (F) outside right now! Time for bed!

Maybe you should offer to design a web site to promote Foldes' business 
on the world wide web, Jenn?!!!

No Bonio Fido business has no web presence nowadays.  :-(

I don't use one, and I'm not alone in this.

Not that I am aware of, but neither did BD's posted suggestion. It 
suggested returning the hosts file to its default nearly empty condition 
as provided by Microsoft. Sure, the process (even the 'fix it for me' 
one) creates a backup in the form of "hosts.old" it does nothing about 
giving back whatever was populating it.

(seems a lot of trouble to go through when a pristine copy is in i386)

I assume any active anti-badstuff program would immediately re-populate 
it in that case, but it is not good to assume too much.

Never saw the need. I guess I just don't mind the ads all that much, and 
these laptops are so much faster than my old 486 that speed isn't much 
of a problem for me either.

The biggest hog on this machine is Avira's nag 'avnotify' thing which I 
haven't bothered to disable.

I can't deal with all the ads. They are especially obnoxious these days,
and 'weigh' a lot more than they used to. The page load-time is very
noticeable, no matter how fast your machine or how fat your pipe is.

I have a .reg file somewhere I made that creates a path rule.

What a racket. I'm hooked on benzos and ssri's because of big pharma.

I am trying to go all 'natural', but its not working well. I'm torn, I
had a doc. appt. on Thursday but cancelled it at the last minute. I
don't know who to trust, and I'm afraid my 'natural' cure is not
working, possibly making it worse. I don't want to dick around with
'new' drugs. I need an island to calm the fuck down and get off
everything.

I thought the JS stood for "Jack Schitt".

LOL  Could be!  Then again, he could also be Mr. Stuart, too.  ;)

Just so there's no misunderstanding ... I didn't mean that as a slam 
against Peter. It seems that he started using the "J" after the "Hit The 
Road Jack" incident and then added the "S" later (maybe much later?), 
after someone posted that old joke about the "Schitt" family tree.

Calling himself "Jack-On-The-Road" was hilarious, and ranks up there 
with John Karras telling BD to use his computer as an anchor for his boat.

Thanks, Jenn. I'm doing okay. Getting a little scared. Set for full-body 
PET scan Monday, but I feel fine. Mowed the backyard, and got most all 
of my plants put inside what I laughingly call my "greenhouse". Stupid 
me didn't pay attention to the weather until I noticed on Yahoo that it 
was going to freeze here (whenever -- a few days ago). It was 7 PM, but 
I got dressed, ran outside and started grabbing plants. I have four that 
weigh around 50 pounds and they are cumbersome, but I managed. I know 
this is more than you wanted to know, but what the heck. This place has 
been sorta quiet.

Had a nice Thanksgiving in Denton, which is about 40 miles from here. 
Drove home on black Friday expecting to get caught in a wild pile of 
traffic, but that didn't happen!! Surprised the heck out of me! It was 
the easiest drive home I've ever had. All of the idiots were already in 
the stores. [g]

Hope you had a nice holiday. What did you do?

I hope *everyone* who *likes* holidays had a nice, long weekend and a 
good time with good food. Personally (I've already said this once) I 
hate this time of year. I hate holidays, especially Christmas. Bah 
humbug! [g]

((((((((Betty))))))  Hopefully, everything will come back just fine.

I like chit chat! :D  My husband grabbed all the green tomatos off the 
vines in our backyard the day that it was supposed to freeze that night. 
  I don't have anything to bring in and if I did I wouldn't have 
anywhere to put it.  I'd love to have a greenhouse, but it's still in 
the planning stages for like the 5th year, I think! LOL

We went to my daughters house for thanksgiving.  The whole family were 
there including her in-laws.  We ate and played with the grand kids and 
played a game called "Times UP" (I think that was the name of it)... I 
was off work from Weds afternoon before Thanksgiving until Tuesday of 
this week, which was a good break. I needed the time off to just do 
nothing.  We had my oldest daughter and her hubby and the grand kids 
over Sunday night for dinner and I played with my 3 yr old granddaughter 
letting her jump on my rebounding trampoline.  She wore herself out! 
Then I got to play with my 3mos old grandson.  He's smiling a lot now 
and can almost "laugh".  He's a sweetheart!  Monday, I went and took my 
day off to run errands.  I had to fill a new eye glasses prescription, 
so I did that, then ate lunch with my husband... then went shopping and 
bought a few things.  Monday night I went for my ballroom dance lesson, 
and then went back to work on Tuesday... It was a fun holiday.

My husband decided that he wanted to have a Christmas train for the 
grand kids, so I bought him an HO gauge train set, which my 
granddaughter was absolutely fascinated with watching it go 'round and 
'round on the oval track.  The project has blossomed tho because we now 
have plans to build something more of a Christmas city.  I'm going to do 
an N gauge train in the background he will do the HO size in the 
foreground.  :)

I've had times when I felt the same way.  I can't really stand the 
commercialization or the crowds, but I love the holiday lights and 
decorations.

Heh. I'm with you. I've always disliked Sundays, bank holiday Mondays 
really irritate me (like two Sundays in a row), so you can imagine how I 
feel about bloody Christmas.

Hi Betty.

I'm so pleased to learn that you are feeling fine. I've been reading 
here: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/154877.php

Do you have to pay for this yourself?

Just curious - no biggie!

Holidays are the pits. Pits of hell! Depending on your life experiences, 
of course. But ... you're right about the business holidays. Everybody 
[I know] in corporate America gets almost an entire vacation for some 
holidays!

I've mentioned before that because of my 20+ years of active service in
the Royal Navy I qualified for continuing service with MI5 (rather like
007) but decided to help on a non-contractual basis without accepting
further Government funds. I do, though, keep in close contact with 'the
authorities'.
