My IIS and MS SQL Server 2008 R2 continues to resolve localhost just fine Why does HOSTS file always contain 127.0.0.1 localhost ? What had I broken by deleting this entr...

Q: Is localhost host resolved to 127.0.0.1?

vgv8Forking subquestions from my question "Why is “127.0.0.1 localhost” needed in HOSTS file?" Is localhost host resolved to 127.0.0.1? If "yes", then why does everything (IIS , ASP.NET, MS SQL Server, webapps, sharepoint, etc.) work on my WIndows XP Pro SP3 exactly the same if I use 127.0.0...

Let's hope he doesn't mess that question up...

Sathya
closed as dupe
wtf are "parent" and "grandparent" questions ?
 
TomWij
TomWij
Hmm, true, they are closely related. Voting too...
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
it's not an exact dupe, though, not the same question
but I miss the "noise or pointless" close reason on SU, looking at such things
I mean, there is a question, interesting probably, to be found
but he buried it under tons of "updates" and silly comments
 
Sathya
Sathya
cleaned it
no longer dupe now
eh
CSS is broken on SU
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
@Sathya very nice
though he will probably edit it again
 
Sathya
Sathya
2:37 PM
will rollback
although if he persists
I'll leave it
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
don't rollback, just flag it. If you rollback, he will do same, don't enter this
 
Sathya
Sathya
is it just me or is everyone else seeing a plaing text version of SU ?
@Gnoupi Yup, won't do
 
TomWij
TomWij
@Sathya: Try a cache refresh (CTRL+F5) to see if that helps...
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
fine for me
 
Sathya
Sathya
doesn't work @Tom
 
TomWij
TomWij
2:40 PM
Yeah, I know, I occasionally have that on random sites...
 
Sathya
Sathya
hmm IE8 shows fine
JS console shows
 
TomWij
TomWij
It's because it fails to load the CSS somehow, like a bug.

@Tom - remember to edit your "about", on the SU profile. For now it still says:
"I visit Super User every day to help out people with their questions and I'm trying to do my best to become a moderator to help maintain the community, for now I can only re-tag and edit questions."

Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error.

2:42 PM
Oh, forgot that, will do it right away...
@Sathya: What browser? Chrome?
 
Sathya
Sathya
@Tom yeah Chrome 6. 495 dev
switched to IE Tab >_>
 
TomWij
TomWij
Same here, it seems to be a bug with Chrome...
 
Sathya
Sathya
Yeah
dunno how this got triggered right now
 
TomWij
TomWij
Guess it isn't completely reliable when there goes something small wrong in the network connectivity while other browsers handle it just fine.
 
Sathya
Sathya
@Tom streaming pandora here,so I don't think network connectivity's a problem

@Gnoupi: Nice that moderators visit profiles now and then... :-)
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
we have tools on the profiles :]
 
TomWij
TomWij
wonders what Gnoupi was planning to do with my profile... ^^
 
Sathya
Sathya
whaddaya know
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
nothing irregular on it, so
 
TomWij
TomWij
@Sathya But Pandora doesn't go through Google Chrome's sockets.
 
Gnoupi
Gnoupi
2:47 PM
nothing planned
 
Sathya
Sathya
something's wrong with my network connection >_>
still the problem >_>
Its sooo >_> to look at sites rendered on IE 8
I don't want to start FF just for SU :(
oddly
everything's fine under incognito mode >_>
 
TomWij
TomWij
Then it's an add-on for sure...
Or maybe a problem with your cache although you tried doing a refresh.
 
Sathya
Sathya
not an extensions problem
I use 4 - Adbock, IETab, Autopager & hide the anniversary bar userscript, disabled and still the same
@TomWij anyway to clear the cache just for SU ?
cache problem, it was
cleared cache for the past hour and now we're back on
ONWARD MARCH TO CLOSE QUESTIONS!!!!11!!

@Sathya Nice cleanup, but like the last one it's going to descend into a wall of text again. :(
 
Sathya
Sathya
@chel yeah :( Pretty sure he'll add bunch of updates
 
Chealion
Chealion
The part that bugs me the most is that they're is a legitimate and usually remotely interesting question behind the layers and layers of abrasiveness, edits, bad formatting, and constantly changing requests.
Not sure he get's it's Q & A and not a forum.
Or if he cares.
 
Sathya
Sathya
@Chel I don't think he's bothered
As far as he's concerned, he's adding "useful" info for us to wade through that text and figure out what's wrong
@Chealion @PopularDemand had left an interesting message for me
17 hours ago, by Popular Demand
@Sathya I see vgv8 made it to SU. FYI he's been binned on SF and MSO, and non-SE sites, as an intentional troll.

@Sathya I saw in the transcript, and I had read the thread on MSO and SF before that. Lots of interestingness.
(Totally stole that word from Flickr)
