# Financial Times?
:D
I notice that he's disabled right click and save..he says the image is "tracked"..Is this some kind of code connected to the picture or is he just spouting technobollox to scare ignorant fools like me?
(ruff secks R.I.P. uncle Jim :(, Sun 3 May 2009, 11:36, archived)
# well, I guess he might constantly search the web for it
it does sound like an attempt to scare people off what looks like a rather dull hoax.

# what?
that's the link to the screengrab I uploaded to b3tards, yes.

the other is the link that the page author is trying to obscure.

I'm mildly sympathetic to people's desire to keep people from re-using their images, but it is a futile effort.

If you let my computer connect to the server where the image is, and show it on my screen, then I have the image.

# *yawns*
I use a macbookpro that I bring to work, and switch between using that and the box running XP, which can connect to the various servers and clusters at work which run linux (or perhaps solaris).

all operating systems have their uses, none are rubbish, none are the best. :)

# No actually KDE is pretty rubbish
If you must use Linux then you either want Debian for stability or Ubuntu for cutting edge new features.

As for Macbook pro. Had one of thos for quite some time now. It's been in a closet, unused for over 6 months.

There is always going to be a best OS for an individual. And right now for me that's Win 7 RC1.

# true enough - everyone finds an OS that gets enough features 'right' for them
I do find using XP like having one hand tied behind my back, but from what little I've seen of vista, it looks much better, and I guess 7 will be slightly more so.

I should really make use of boot camp one day...

# Are you saying this with some kind of zoological authority?
Hopefully somewhere along the way it will attract the attention of an actual scientist who will call shinannigans.
Still, hoaxes are shite,but its pretty funny when pseudo scientists champion them and show themselves up.I treat this stuff like sci-fi art until someone with relevent academic knowledge tells me otherwise.

# Oh wow that puts me in my place then doesn't it!
I don't have to be a zoological authority to recognise the bone structure, head and tail of some lemur-like creature or monkey ffs. And I suppose just because I don't have a cerificate in animal biology therefore it must be a fucking demon because they photographed it right, so it must be true. Well you can wait for Zombie Stephen Urwin ro ressurect and prove what I already guessed but you'll be waiting a while as noone with any credibility gives a rat's arse about this fake.
