i've noticed at least 3 security articles over the recent period using this: http://news.com.com/i/ne/pg/fd_2007/070302_blackhat_120x90.jpg
one of the articles wasn't written by joris evers but the other two were and they featured that graphic.
sharing graphics between authors, is that not like a drug addict sharing a needle? plus there should be a new graphic per article, not one thats been totally ****** between articles and authors.

RE: using the same graphic.

That is not dumb! that is good!

If you sent out an email to 500 people in your company with an attachment do you want that attachment that could be 5 megs copied that many times? If everyone liked your email and they email everyone else then the email server would be over taxed. By using the same graphic they cut down on overhead and retains server space and speed.

I think it is very smart!

The graphics don?t belong to the authors. They are News.com?s graphics one of which apparently they are now attaching to every article that concerns security.

No one is stealing anyone?s graphic and no one is sharing another author?s graphic. There is no ?*******,? whatever that is supposed to mean in this context. Can?t imagine why anyone would complain about this ? unless he doesn?t understand what is happening.
