This becomes annoying after a short time if you have lots of
entries.

Google Spybot and hosts file entries.

Spybot "immunized" your hosts file with thousands of entries and
ordinary lookups became unacceptably slower. Impossibly in some
cases because of the number of additional links that preload on
web pages these days. You may have 30 to well over 100
connections to other sites just by clicking on a single web page.

A bloat distributor can fubar your hosts file by simply changing
content distribution domain (CDN) names, and some do every 60
days or so because they get blocked by Ghostery and the like.

I do use FaceKook, even when I don't. Check your DNS
server/connection logs, connections made to FaceKook on completely
unrelated sites.

I agree with the OP. The only guy with that name I've ever
heard of said this:

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks

So I don't trust anyone named "Zuckerberg" either.

Can't get into the original article. My hosts file probably
does something silly. Or helpful. Whatever.
