This reminds me a scene from Spaceballs, where Lone Star (Bill Pulman) fires a pot of raspberry jam at Dark Helmet's (Rick Moranis) radar.
"Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry: Lone Star!"
If you covered someone's mobile in jam, that'd stop them using it. Only while they stopped to smash your face to a pulp, mind, but it'd stop them none the less.
I don't think this is a very fair comment, although I did find it amusing. Flash is an excellent format for the web, it is just the implementation of it that provides the problem.
There are a great number of fantastic flash movies available on the WWW, and some excellent flash designers out there. The problem isn't with the technology or the design, but the way it is embedded into most sites. Web masters ought to provide alternatives to Flash movies, but most seem to be too lazy to do just that, and therefore risk alienating their audience.
It's spelt HTTP_REFERER in the HTTP/1.0 Specification.
Text as follows:
The Referer request-header field allows the client to specify, for the server's benefit, the address (URI) of the resource from which the Request-URI was obtained. This allows a server to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance. The Referer field must not be sent if the Request-URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI, such as input from the user keyboard.
If a partial URI is given, it should be interpreted relative to the Request-URI. The URI must not include a fragment.
Note: Because the source of a link may be private information or
may reveal an otherwise private information source, it is strongly
recommended that the user be able to select whether or not the
Referer field is sent. For example, a browser client could have a
toggle switch for browsing openly/anonymously, which would
respectively enable/disable the sending of Referer and From
information.
When I first read this, I could've sworn it read Robocop. I can only say I'm disappointed -- players being riddled with bullets from Robo's automatic pistal or impaled on that data spike would make things pretty interesting.
In addition to the NASA contributions, perhaps the US Government could levy an extra 1% on sales of learning toys for educationally subnormal adults and give the money straight to President Bush?
How long before distributed computing networks such as those used in the projects by United Devices, SETI@Home and KaZaA:-P are included in the supercomputing list?
But if Mozilla started to be a credible browser threat (which I believe it already is), surely MS would have to support it, or face the possibility that companies would move to Apache or another rival.

"Now, how much ARE 270,000 MySQL licenses? I've no idea."
I'll do you a deal. You can have the whole lot for a bargain $95,000,000.
So how much are 270,000 MySQL licenses?

This can easily be done with a call to a remote image generating script, which passes a unique id as a argument.

That must be fantastic -- imagine having to only spend a couple of hours downloading security updates.

Well, it's being installed in the Molecular Sciences Laboratory, so...

How about rewriting denied.html each time to contain a list of e-mail addresses in the format:
abuse@banned_host
That way, the spammers might actually spam their own ISP's abuse account. Now THAT would be funny! :-)
How about sending a parameter to a page which redirects to the mailto: protocol?
For example:

filename.php
<?php
Header ("Location: mailto:" + $x + "@mydomain.tld")
?>
