Just thought I'd mention on News.com urls you don't actually need to
include the path.  Our publishing platform actually only cares about the
numbers at the end, the path is strictly for Google optimization (pages
rank slightly better on Google results when keywords appear in the path
as well as in the article itself).  So the url you gave below:

http://news.com.com/Windows+flaw+spawns+dozens+of+attacks/2100-7349_3-60
16140.html

can actually be shortened to this:

http://news.com.com/2100-7349_3-6016140.html

You could in fact insert whatever (url-encoded) string you want into the
path:

http://news.com.com/I+love+Louisville/2100-7349_3-6016140.html

The most disheartening thing about all this press is that perhaps the
most dangerous Windows flaw ever discovered appeared during January:  
the Windows Meta File exploit [1]. It got almost no press, even though
it was apparently put into Windows on purpose by Microsoft as a hack to
make up for some design limitations with printer drivers.  
People are so used to devastating worms under Windows that they just
view them as another cost of doing business.
