What are you sniveling about now? no-ip.com wasn't seized. The authoritive NS records for the domain still point to Vitalwerks' servers. Ditto for the other no-ip ccTLDs - all of which you listed. Face it, your list is wrong, and RANDOMLY capitalising and bolding WORDS doesn't change that fact, or that hosts files are irrelevant to this discussion.

APK, no-one gives a shit about your hosts files. FUCK OFF.

Fair enough. Don't really blame you in that case. Check out Amazon Route 53 if you haven't already though. Super reliable, and once you get past the clunky interface it's pretty good to use.

Moron, I don't even HAVE mod points. And even if I did, ACs can't moderate, so logging out of my account wouldn't allow me to downmod your post anyway.

Have you considered seeking help? You ave all the signs of paranoid schizophrenia.

Backup WHAT bullshit?

Just fuck off.

APK, for the love of all that's holy... I don't give a shit about your hosts files. They aren't even relevant to this topic. And I post days later because I don't troll Slashdot day and night looking for perceived offenses to take umbrage at and scour comment histories to spam up with irrelevant bullshit.

I was under the impression the constitution imparted the power to provide for the common defence in the original document, hence an amendment was not necessary to create the Air Force (or any defence agency for that matter).

Ah, that makes sense. If I were you, I'd be planning to get a real domain - that way you're in control and you have more resilience to this sort of thing. I know that doesn't really help you now of course.

Hey fuckwit, I didn't say anything about your fucking hosts files. I said your list was wrong because it included a bunch of domains which aren't seized, which is correct.

There's a reason people resort to profanity when dealing with you: because you're a contemptible trolling cunt who needs to fuck off and stop acting like a 5 year old. If you actually read my comment history, you'd see that on occasion I have even agreed with you, where you say things which make sense.

Oh for fuck sake APK, fuck off.

How amusing. I selected the wrong term. Why yes, however, the GP wasn't even talking about chemotherapy anyway so it's kind of a moot point.

Well, no. Since what they claimed is that they only SEEK to block traffic to the malicious domains. For example by blocking the bad ones and recursing the other ones. Now, they failed to do that, but it wasn't intentional. You certainly wouldn't be able to claim bad faith.

And even No-IP has paid services that were completely unaffected, because only the free domains were cut off.

Releasing a game with cloud storage (no doubt for a fee) and relying on a free service to provide core infrastructure? Sounds pretty irresponsible.

Yes there would be viruses, malware, and a multi-billion dollar a year AV industry, because the criminals would actually be writing malware for OS X and Linux.

Then use one of the unaffected paid-customer-only domains. Sorted.
