Opt-out of Time-Warner/RoadRunner's DNS Hijacking

I am opposed to ISP DNS Hijacking for many reasons (DNS needs to be trustworthy, DNS needs to follow the RFC standard and return "Not Found" as specified especially since my browser would then tack on ".com" for me, I already pay TWRR more money for less bandwidth than most other developed nations so I resent this standards-breaking monetization), but luckily today I found the opt-out page. Thankfully it's easier and less intrusive than Comcast's opt-out.

A bright spot on a rainy day!

I was about to use the hosts file, like this tip. The bazooka approach would be to download this impressive ad-blocking hosts file and add http://ww23.rr.com/ to it.
