    By the way charging a phone costs only a penny or two but if you leave the charger plugged in and switched on at the wall this will cost you all the time, 24/7

    It's pretty poor netiquette to hotlink images like that. Use a free photo site to host them rather than stealing bandwidth from others.

    Hot linking is when you just use the address of an image hosted elsewhere on the web to display. This is fine when it's your site but to take it without asking is not very friendly as serving all the people loading the image costs money. Also, if someone were to get annoyed with the use of images from their site, it is very, very simple to change the image to something rather rude

    Its when you use their url instead of actualy uploading it to a free hosting site eg. i use photobucket.

    I think if a webmaster noticed a spike in traffic loading one image they could act significantly faster than that if they had the inclination.

    [edit] sorry for off topic stuff!
