The all new NEWSWORTHY thread

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I found out the other day that as the lifter of the odd shirt every now and again I'm banned from giving blood. I had no idea. I'm completely clean, been with the ame peron six years and don't sleep around, so am a bit perplexed as to why. :|

apparently that url is a hack

(much like their journos, eh? ;))

it's down to a security weakness in the way the indy creates "friendly" urls for article titles

explanation:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/19 ... this_crap/

for example:
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style ... 69573.html

i actually thought it was more fun because it was a hack :lol:

interestingly enough, the same discussion at our place as thrown up all kinds of concerns... it seems some of our sites may or may not be vulnerable to a similar attach :lol: :innocent:

maybe it's better suited to '...geeking' though? ;D

It's not really an attack though is it? From an SEO perspective "it's a bug not a feature" as far as I'm concerned.

Yep, Android phones do it too. Just don't let any of your apps have access to location data if you're worried about it.
