Of course they are, several images all stuck together...but I just realized that I didn't really post 5760 pics, since the delta frames are calculated on the machine of the viewer.
I know I posted many pics, but without knowing the rate of key frames, their number cannot be discerned. Foiled! Damn!

FACT: All GIFs, animated or not, are in fact cafe-racers.

Cool... but not a pic. I'm just sayin'. (I brace for the onslaught of people being dickholes and posting nothing but videos in the pics thread now because I pointed it out.)

Fucking fluid mechanics.
If only my instructors were the least bit interesting, or ever showed us ANYTHING like that, then maybe it wouldn't have been such a tedious, awful experience.

Hm, I have to say, hotlinking images from that place is a) not a lasting solution since they ditch everything fairly quickly and b) potentially an invitation to the people of that wicked place to show up here.
DO NOT WANT.

You don't see the placeholder in piccini's post?

Only shows as above in the post but in the preview screen it shows the image location. Link goes to the 4chan homepage which I have no idea what 4chan is.

Sorry, don't know what hotlinking is. But I'll try to not do it again.
If I delete my original post will that help?

No. I think we're doomed. Doomed!

Hotlinking is what we do all the time when we grab the URL of an image and paste it here, basically it means nicking someone else's bandwidth.
When I saw the placeholder in your post, I was usnure - did whatever image you meant to post simply get deleted, as they do on them image boards, or is that an anti-hotlinking placeholder?
Considering where it came from , paranoia kicked in.
Nevermind, I don't think much evil will happen.

As DG noted, it's a image board, which is the source of a lot of internet memes like lolcat and rickroll. I suspect it's also the source of most instances of rule 34. It's also the home of Anonymous, and other folks with the ability to fuck with you online. If one of these folks was bored enough to take offence at the hotlink it could be a pain in the ass.

piccini9 · Post by **piccini9** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:36 pm

I don't really know what bandwidth is either. Maybe I should just stay home.

I wouldn't sweat it. Hotlinking is really just considered kind of rude by some, and that's only if they notice it.

Here's the deal, bandwidth is how much data you can move back and forth from your web server to users. I've got a plan with my web hosting service which says I get x gigabytes of bandwidth per month, if I go over that I have to pay extra fees.

Say I've got a 1MB picture on my website, if you look at it I get charged for 1MB worth of my bandwidth as the picture is downloaded to your browser. No biggie for me, I have a low traffic site and am always within my bandwidth allowance. Now say you share that picture on a high traffic board via a hotlink and a few thousand people look at it. All of those looks are charged to my bandwidth because the file is still hosted on my site. If you linked to a few pictures the numbers could add up quick enough to blow my whole months bandwidth allowance in a couple days if I'm a really small site.

The solution, or "polite" way, to share an image you found elsewhere, copyright and I.P. issues notwithstanding, is to copy it to your own server or save it and upload it to a flicker account or some such, then link from there.

I thought my bar bill from DOOM was bad!

Post by **DerGolgo** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 1:14 pm

At first I thought "Wow, who manages to run up the equivalent of a detached house with pool in a nice neighbourhood by 2 AM?".
Then I noticed a single bottle of "Ace Midas" for 100k.

And suddenly the little red revolutionary in me started screaming.
How fucked up is society that there not only exist a bar where such a tap can be run up, but also a market for it, people who can afford to run up such a tap?

Then the little suave gentleman in me politely coughed and noticed how unstylish this society is, where you can spend enough money at a bar to notably affect the local money supply, but that bar doesn't even furnish the bill handwritten on fine, watermarked paper, doesn't present it in an unobtrusive leather cover but, rather, prints it out on a run-of-the-mill cash-register thermo printer, as though it was a bill for everyday groceries.

In either respect, this world is just going to the dogs.

my bar tab at DOOM! wasn't that bad, until i learned that Priest walked out (passed out!) on his, and i picked them both up... of course, it was really priceless, so fuck it.

That $100K bottle actually cost them $126K after 20% service charge (mandatory tip for a party of 6 or more) and 6% sales tax.

I know, not a pic, but not deserving it's own thread, and decidedly random.

I know we have a few tower climbing folk around here, does this happen often?
Acorns deposited by birds, apparently...

Heh, that's pretty funny. Never seen acorns, but I have cleared out a few birds nests.
