Quote:What is hotlinking and bandwidth theft? Bandwidth theft or "hotlinking" is direct linking to a web site's files (images, video, etc.). An example would be using an tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your own site, eBay auction listing, weblog, forum message post, etc. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a web site to a user's computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site's bandwidth to display the files. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it's billed for the extra data or taken offline. A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets, using your electricity without your consent, and you paying for it.

I'm sure Karma will be quite happy with you. Besides...I really like that trophy. Thanks, you are too kind. Off to my PHOTOBUCKET with it...

Quote: I'm not upset, not in the least. I like the Buzzkill Award. I do think you should get a 'bucket account...
Quote:You didn't say the wrong thing, not in the least. (Did I use the "bouncing you off the wall" emote? Then, you are okay!)
Quote:If it's pot stirring you are after, I suggest you visit the back room over at Kelkhil's. I hear there is much pot stirring back there...
Quote:Originally posted by RugBug: Now, now folks. JQ, I now understand how you can post so many pictures. It takes me forever to go save it into my photobucket, blah, blah, blah. But, I don't like stealing bandwidth from people. It costs them money, so I do my best not to hotlink. You've always seemed to post some fun/random pictures...but you don't save them, so it takes less time.
Quote:As for your made up personal ad for me...I know I typed all that...you just took it out of context...and we all know context means everything. (honestly...I thought it was funny....but in another situation, might not. )

(honestly...I thought it was funny....but in another situation, might not. ) The context was describing yourself. Did I stray from that? Nooooo. And of course if I had the least little notion that you might be offended, I would not have done so, hopefully avoiding "another situation". Still waiting for the redhead pic...

Quote:Well, describing myself within the context of conversations about other things. It's not how I would describe myself in the context of a personal ad.

Quote:Originally posted by JonnyQuest: You're right! It does sound like a personal! But regarding the dimples (proud owner of them myself btw, but now they're just very deep creases...), not mentioning them doesn't matter as they are prominantly on display in the picci just to the left... Nice try.
