| Say someone wanted to post this
picture to the right for some God awful reason on their
myspace.com pages. Well if they did that by just cutting/copying
and pasting it into the myspace page they would actually be flat
out stealing vanillaafro.com's bandwidth. They are
stealing because they are not referring to the image on their
server but on mine (vanillaafro.com)! This is a real pain
in the ass for a computer dork like me, especially if you have
pictures that myspace junkies like. Like for instance at my
work, I have a bunch of concert/sports/theatre images on the
server and all kinds of idiots copy and paste them into their
myspace to the point that you have to change the image to
something like this:

Now that's just down right mean, unless the people love David
Hasselhoff, and you know there's a lot of myspace people that
love him, especially those damn Swedes.
Technically speaking the nice way to deal with myspace people
who do this is to use your .htaccess file. Like below:
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.your-domain-name-here.com/" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.your-domain-name-here.com$" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://your-domain-name-here.com/" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://your-domain-name-here.com$" locally_linked=1
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^$" locally_linked=1
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|png|jpe?g)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=locally_linked
</FilesMatch>
What this allows you to do is block people from using your
images outside of your web site, I don't like this because I'd rather
people have to look at David Hasselhoff or a guy screwing a mule or something (use your imagination...). But you get the
picture...I'd encourage anyone who is getting their bandwidth stolen to replace their picture of 50 CenTZ with a guy screwing a mule, or maybe a bad joke like just a big picture of a Half Dollar....And
of course you could always give them
the infamous and classic..... Goatse.cx

Other funny
things about myspace....
The other funny thing about myspace is that people have pages
on there with so many pictures and ghetto bullshit that it takes
about 3 years for even the federal government to load their
pages. I mean we're talking full motion video of 50 cent, the
entire unedited version of 8 Mile and below that if you have 2
months and a cup of coffee shouts to all their PeEpS and
NiGGaz....
Now don't get me wrong I love to see people talking LiKe this
to their Niggaz online....Mostly because it let's me reminisce
about how I used to make AOL screen names like that in 1997, but
it's not Fucking 1997 anymore people.......Anyone over fregin 16
talking LiKe this on the internet should go down to their local
Pawn shop buy the biggest GuN they see and Shoot themselves
right in the MoThErFUcking Headz Niggaz.
Sorry people or should I say pEEpZ...., but graffiti is for
playground park benches, not the internet.....
Great myspace idea (or terrible)
Not only is this a bad joke but it also makes the myspace
person who has an image of 50 Cent to look like a complete
idiot who doesn't even identify with his/her hip hop community
PeePz...(so dumb..)
- place this picture of 50 cent on your web site for awhile
until you see people from myspace stealing it, wait until a
few put it on their MySpAcE pages...
- replace the image of 50 cent with the same name as your
image of 50 Cent and upload it to your web site

***Sorry for not including the Dwight D
Eisenhower half dollar, but I figured that JFK would be more of
a fan of 50 Cent....But Cassidy will tell you I'm a stone cold
bleeding heart liberal...
