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 --- Rex. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu] On Behalf Of Lee Larson Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 4:19 PM To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Subject: Re: MacGroup: Problem for Safari Users On Feb 22, 2006, at 5:52 AM, RobK wrote: > If you need some frustrating entertainment, go to Google News and > follow the OSX virus link.

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.
