The Great Evel Knievel

Has died.........I can remember having an EK doll and motorcycle that you put on a ramp platform with a winder on the side..........You wind it like a jack-n-the box and let him go into the streets........

I'm suprised he lived this long.

He was cool and did crazy jumps back in the 70's. Always thought it was pretty stupid, but his gig and he was good at it. People like to watch trainwrecks and crashes.

My friend and I had one of these and it jumped everything.

You might want to change that link...

Dude, you are sick.

Dont think he did it on purpose...

Why should I stop hotlinking?

Hotlinking can have a lot of undesirable consequences. One is the so-called "switcheroo". If you've linked to an image on someone's server, what's to prevent them from changing the image you linked to? This can have humorous results. Since most sites, forums, etc. have strict policies about offensive images, it wouldn't take much for an aggravated webmaster you've been stealing bandwidth from to shut you down completely with an unwanted "switcheroo".

Displaying an image or file that doesn't belong to could be a violation of copyright, making you open to litigation. The owner of the file could utilize DMCA law to have your site shut down and your information given for use in legal proceedings.

I am a PC illiterate. I didn't know someone could do that. Very good thing to know. Thanks for the knowledge.
