I have no idea if this will actually work but you could try:

Block traffic from a single referrer:

RewriteEngine on further reading 
has told me you don't need to add this line b/c the 
rewrite engine is already turned on--unless you have 
this at the top of the page, then delete the other entry :)
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} fuckers\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\. (jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC]

This comes from -> [link] ... and all I've done is add in the reference to your image and the other site.

and they say:

Blocking users or sites that originate from a particular domain is another useful trick of .htaccess. Lets say you check your logs one day, and see tons of referrals from a particular site, yet upon inspection you can't find a single visible link to your site on theirs. The referral isn't a "legitimate" one, with the site most likely hot linking to certain files on your site such as images, .css files, or files you can't even make out. Remember, your logs will generate a referrer entry for any kind of reference to your site that has a traceable origin.

So, does the syntax work that I can put the other conditions and rules after, and they won't be affected?

I couldn't say for sure but it seems a fair bet that if that goes first, fuckers.com reads it and is redirected to realhuge.gif, while all other sites read it, ignore it b/c it doesn't affect them, and go onto the next bit where they are affected.

If you want, you can add it to your .htaccess file but change "fuckers" to "eviljimi" and then I'll try hotlinking to an image and report back what I see.

Blargh. Those two lines, either at the start (under Rewrite Engine On) or at the very end, break my ability to see images from my own domain.

I swear, logic doesn't live here anymore.

damn, that sucks :(

you could try asking on this forum: [link]

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

It took me days to get .htaccess working the first time, and now I've forgotten everything I knew.

Sharing laptop alternative.

I must have this.

According to Popular Science, it's due out in the fall, and it will be only $350.

You know, I still think this is a better alternative to the Nokia product:
