No, I suppose that really is a step in the right direction. Wouldn't it have been even more beneficial, in light of things like Storm, to get rid of WGA when it comes to any Windows security update? Quote:

…wait. Okay, so the two noteworthy changes in this update are steps back. What does that tell you? Things aren't looking good for this browser. Meanwhile, guess what browser has the highest growth rate, and which one has lost the most. |

That storm worm is some scary shit. Crap like this makes me glad that Mac security is so much tighter.

Some would beg to differ, the only difference is (in the opinion of some in the IT industry) that there just isn't anyone taking advantage of the holes in OSX's security (an advantage of smaller market share, and a different coding language than a Windows NT based OS).

Well, that might be somewhat true. But I do know that just by browsing websites, Safari won't install s/w on my computer without my knowing about it. IE has allowed this for a long time. JTA |

Huh? I only see one "www", yet the image is not showing. I thought it was just my connection being slow, though. What do you mean?
*tries to delete "www"* WTF?! Why did that help? Are we no longer using "www"? Now my joke looks really bad because I', n00bing on the net and thus have no right to point any fingers! Last edited by Mugge : 2007-10-11 at 08:32. |

Tell that to everyone exploiting the TIFF buffer overflow in Safari for the iPhone.

"Stray" doesn't mean "duplicate" or "multiple", just "superfluous"/"doesn't belong there".

Hmmm. It worked the last time I used it, a month ago or something like that.
Actually I thought it was irrelevant whether "www" is included or not. |

something about subdirectories and defaults and such.... I think that some hosts allow you to create subdirectories and to reach those subdirectories in a cool way... ie,
turns this: www.apple.com/iphone into iphone.apple.com I think one of my hosts allows it but I haven't tried it in recent memory.... |

For a long time, I used to refer to this forums as at www.forums.applenova.com, and it does work but there were some odd behaviors that Brad claimed was result of using www prefix which doesn't belong in the address (I say claimed because I could not reproduce the behavior such as blocking images consistently and therefore am not completely positive it was the source). After an VB update, it's now good for impressing ladies.

I think people don't understand that the "www" is the same as any other subdomain reference (although www usually works by default, which is not the case with other subdomains). People think www is required.

Exactly.
However, all you need to do is to point them toward advertisements that eschew the use of the subd okay, nevermind. I just used the word 'eschew'. I'm going to go away for awhile now. |

Torifile is spot on. I used to think that was the case, before I learned that it's parsed backward, the .com/.org/.edu being the top level domain and progressing downward. Before then, I thought WWW was a special subnet of Internet that's somehow more searchable. Now it seems to be simply a common named subdomain which is stored as a folder on one's server.

It's just the human remember-able representation of an IP address. Shove a name in a name server, turn the crank, and you get an IP address out. That's what is really is being used - the IP address. Once it "gets there" the story can change though, if you figure virtual servers using a single IP address... |

Not entirely true with HTTP, though: you can have multiple hosts point to the same IP address and yet deliver entirely different websites, thanks to the Host header.

Out of curiosity, how would it be resolved if one were to enter an IP directly for such server holding multiple websites? (e.g. how does it decides which website to return without any header?)

Example: chucker.mystfans.com resolves to 216.127.69.124. Going to http://216.127.69.124, however, gives you a generic error message unrelated to my site. |
