Morpheus added ad banners and spyware to Gnucleus, and then tried to take credit for writing it. That is just a total scumbag thing to do, but at least they distributed the source, and followed the GPL.
As you can see from the 25:1 compressed image above, there is really not much of a difference in terms of image quality from the original image at 2:1 - but a save of 44.6kb in file size. Consider this as a practical example - a new piece of content you post has ten images in it, for simplicity reasons at 63.2kb each (632kb in total), we save a total of 465kb, seemingly not a great deal on an individual basis.
Now say 2000 different people read that same review uncached, we save a total of roughly 908mb in outbound data bandwidth for that single review. If 5000 people were to read that review, we are talking gigabytes of bandwidth which can be saved through compression, 2.27gb to be exact. I'll let the stunning numbers speak for themselves.
Sorta ironic how thousands of people are downloading that article right now!
IBM, happy men, smiling all the way, oh what fun it is to sell our products our pruducts night and day. IBM Watson men, partners of TJ. In his service to mankind - that's why we are so gay.

The one that is Heroinwear is definatly Master Of Orion for the PC. That game has me hooked so bad...
I can see pr0n sites switching to this image format, then bundling spyware with the plugin download for extra bucks.
...unless, of course, you're using a referrer filter...
On a very related note, Alex Chiu has some nice plans on his site for a Teleportation Machine.
sounds like more spyware...
time to give Ad-Aware another run through...
What does this mean for users of Kazaa Lite?

I agree. But I think you should mutulate their genitals first.
What if it sends the first few emails properly, then acts like a honey pot, and stops all future emails except to the first few addresses?
Want shelf life? Add twinkies!
I own the Sega Nomad. It's cool, but eats batteries like hell.
Now you can stream your music directly off the hard drive!
If you use a referrer filter (such as WebWasher), then the links work fine.
Trillian released some updates pretty quickly, and it works great for me.
When I ran Windows ME, Alt, Ctrl, and Delete were pretty high on the chart.
Looks like someone didn't know their CD\ and dir commands! :)
I hope you mean .WMA or .WMV, because .WMF is a vector image graphics format!
Can't someone just kill the process? Poof, no more keylogger.
