Hotlinking

So I was going through my referrer logs, trying to figure out where all of my bandwidth is going. And guess what I found..
HOTLINKS!

So, effective immediately, I have instituted a no hotlinking policy. I am not doing this to be cruel, but I pay for my bandwidth, and hotlinkers do not. If you need more information on what hotlinking is, and why it is bad, please go here.

If you really need the image, drop me an email and we will work something out.

Sniper Finder



File this one under duh!
Multi-directional microphones are used to triangulate the position of a sniper. One minor problem…the sniper has to shoot first.

    TERRORIST!



    This is a story of power gone mad. Journalist Commentator John Loftus decided that he knew what was best, and told his audience on FOX NEWS that Iyad K. Hilal is the master-mind behind the London bombings (despite the fact that “The Times wants to make clear that Hilal has not been charged with any illegal activity and The Times is not aware of any law enforcement agency or official that has identified Hilal as a terrorist”) and decided to share his address, so that people could share their feelings with him. And they did, and still do.

    One minor problem..Hilal doesn’t live there…the Andersens, and their 5 children do..

    TERRORISTS


    I copied the article from the LATimes, because I think it is crap that you must register to get the news. I feel even better about my decision based on the level of detail required, just to read one article.

    WinFS

    The company made the test version of the system, called WinFS, available to Microsoft Developer Network subscribers

    This is big news, because it was originally supposed to be released with Vista, but was delayed. This beta 1 release of WinFS is huge news, and represents a major change in the Microsoft File system.
