Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
no, the appropriate way to respond is swap out the image for one with the same name that is an icon saying "I'm a bandwidth thief and a loser".
Or WTTE.
I may be evil. But if you want to hit him hard, that's the way to do it. Hotlinking is so wrong, I can't believe people have to keep saying don't hotlink.
Oh! I shall do just that, Consuela!
Believe me, the hotlinking will stop forthwith.
Welcome to the world of fuckos and .htaccess. I'm not good enough to get all tutorial on you, but basically, you drop a file in your image directory that can deny or grant access to the files there to whatever hosts you wish. And it can also swap images. So, when someone tries to grab images from my provocateuse sites, I hand them a 2400x267 gif that's only 5K. Messes up the screens they're dropping it on, doesn't cost me as much bandwidth as the picture they were looking for.
Sometimes I'd drop people an e-mail about it, but it rarely worked.
There are sites that throw up something pornographic or disgusting as a discouraging tactic.
Google lists of hotlink prevention tutorials.
Hee. Hee. Hee.
heee!
Anyone else having Google connection problems?
Firefox can't find the main site, nor gmail.google.com, so far.
Gmail itself seems to be doing okay, but my Gmail notifier keeps losing the connection.
It says gmail.google.com cannot be found for me.
