It seems I need basic lessons in North American culture because I don't find that one example posted by LH remotely funny. To PhD it for you, Pamela Anderson is an individual often brought up (as it was in this case) as an example of "American fake sexuality" (bleached hair, breast implants etc). The joke here is that Pam Anderson is actually a Canadian who moved to the US. She's a reimportation of that fake sexuality. The author has unintentionally provided another example of the process he is describing, and it is amusing.

That bee is SCARY. Especially the big close-up of its face, with those vacant, smiling eyes. "Big Brother Bee is watching you." On the other hand, the real face of a bee is pretty scary too. Five eyes, and two of them compound. I wonder which is scarier?

I didn't get it when KH first posted it, not knowing anything about Pamela Anderson. I still only find it mildly funny, perhaps because Canada is pretty much America anyway. "America, only lamer and colder," that's Canada.

I could imagine the Jollibee character being described in a Phillip K Dick novel,
representing a nightmarish, fascist big-brother symbol of corporate dystopia...!

Why do the rest want to keep Quebec, anyway? I mean, it's not like it (or the Maritimes) fulfill any useful function ...

Oerdin, you know they are properly coding their site, right? There's fundamentally no other way to prevent people from deep-linking to your images.

[mpegdvdclip]

Yes.

Show me a way (apart from writing your entire site in Flash ffs) that you can design a site with pictures on it that people can't link to.

Go ahead and try to leech something from poly and see how it doesn't work. Effectively the same thing only instead of replacing the leeched picture with "I'm a thief" or other such nonsense they just delete the picture. The point is still made and the leeching stops.

Next you can also disable the right click when the mouse goes over your images though a smart person can still get them from the cache.

Actually, image linking costs the site owner money. The site owner usually says "put up the image but host it yourself."

Also, anyone who puts up the right-click protection comes off as irritatingly amateur.

I ate at a Jollibee when I was in the Phils.

It was the worst fast food I've had -- EVER!

It's not the solution used by the author of the page being discussed. How is it significantly different than returning a stock image "you're stealing my bandwidth"?

I've often wondered about that; is there some reason why people couldn't make a Firefox mod to circumvent that restriction (i.e., can the server somehow restrict data based on its intended use at the other end)? It doesn't sound likely to me, but I'm ignorant of PC workings. Or is it so easy to get around that nobody bothers to do even that much?

[OWDavid]

Ah, so it has been done. Thanks, Asher.

Do you have problems comprehending what i meant by "null image?" I assumed it was a 0-byte image or something similar. Anyway, both cases are discrimination based on the referrer tag, which was what I was getting at.
