^ never heard of the term hotlinking before


Sorry - no offense meant to CC. First time I ever came across that word and am not sure what it means.

CC had nothing to do with that, gopher. The following is the meaning of hotlinking. Say you went to that site and copied a picture from there and posted it here. Since the picture is from that site, they can change the picture to something else (which usually says "No Hotlinking Please, but they can change it to something vulgar if they wanted to). The reason a lot of sites don't like hotlinking is that even though the picture is posted on a different site, the bandwidth is still taken from the original site. So hotlinking is copying a picture from another site and pasting on a different one. I hope that explained it for you, gopher.

Thanks for your answer. I once linked to a pic and the next day it was changed to something vulgar. Imagine how embarrassing that was! Strange though - in both instances I did not see any sign which no hot linking. Will try to make sure it doesn't happen again!

Just watched "Looper", and it has a plot continuity-flaw.

The premise is that in the future it's impossible to kill someone without detection, such that they have to send targets back in time if you want them snuffed, yet a critical element of the motivation of one particular looper is that in the future, his girl-friend gets killed in front of him... in the age when it's supposed to be impossible to kill someone without liable detection.

I watched this last night on DVD....



... but I don't recommend that anyone else do the same because it was VERY disappointing.

The only bit worth seeing in this supposed horror film about a group of kids who decide to make a documentary on Bigfoot in a part of the woods in Siskiyou County, northern California where they were told that a Bigfoot ripped a man's dog in half was right at the beginning where it showed the 1967 Patterson Bigfoot footage. In fact, the biggest threat to these kids was, strangely, not Bigfoot himself but from a group of local rednecks.
