The normal link is
http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP330/contents.html

The link provided by doing a Google search is
http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP330/contents.html
and that leads to a page warning that "visiting this web site may harm your computer!"

The link provided by doing a Yahoo search is
http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu8frZIRJmAwA9_ZXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTByamlqaW9mBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMwRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkAw--/SIG=12007c43g/EXP=1233499755/**http%3a//physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP330/sp330.pdf

Gary has suggested that the Yahoo link is a normal Yahoo redirect practice, but that does not explain the Google link. If this is not a hack job on the NIST website, perhaps it's one of those "Google bombs" that has been in the news lately.

I just googled "NIST SP 330" and it appears that something strange is going on. The resulting list for many items includes the line

Clicking on one of those provides a special page with a Google Malware warning.

Yahoo does not provide such warning but the normal page link has a bunch of code inserted, probably a diversion tactic.

Looks like we've been hacked, Uncle Sam!
