What would you do if you see an Alien? Whatever you'd do, in million years from now, an 'Alienologist' would call it stupid. It's the same thing to a new computer/internet users. They have no fucking idea how things work. Have some respect, it's not stupidity, it's lack of knowledge and experience. Just like you and me lack knowledge and experience in *some* field.
On second thought, 302 requires configuration of the server, so Agelfire.com users won't be affected. There might be other sites where individual users do get to do stuff like this, but then if an individual can configure the server, then the users are probably close enough to resolve things like this. But some site *migth* provide only 302 redirection to all users (not complete server config). But still they won't be able to selectively give different pages to googlebot. Man, this is a difficult problem:/ Removing this 'feature' from Google might be the safest option.
I was about to say that the solution was to not replace pages in the index when the redirection happens across domains. But then public hosting sites like angelfire.com came to my mind. So they just have stop replacing redirects altogether.
The 'attack' is possible. And just because it hasn't happened to you or you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not happening. How many murders have you seen? And how many times have you been murdered? (Sorry for comparing this to murder)
Nice going sherlock. Those pages show up because those pages have thehumorarchives.com in their URL. They're not 302 hijacking you. They are probably even just linking to you or showing info about your site (through some in-site redirection mechanism) because they like your site.
They're making money. Immorally. Legally (probably). Are you sure this is the only immoral way people are making money right now? Are you sure you've never benifited, directly or indirectly, but voluntarily and knowingly, from an immoral way of making money, however small the immorality was and however small your benifit was?
I think this shows that although slashdotters act like they know everything, they are in reality complete idiots. When they want to win an argument, they look up something on the internet and act like they know it all. But when something that needs thinking and is as simple as a kindergarten maths problem rears it's head,/.ers show their stupidity.
Yeah, this is basically what we're all saying. This and when you search for "bank" you get UnknownNon-famous(probably-scam)Bank.com as the fifth result instead of FamousBank.com.
This is more like one site hijacking the ranking of another site. Suppose you're Ferrari and I'm the hijacker. You have ferrari.com and I have irule.com. Since you're ferrari.com you get very high rankings when people search for "ferrari" on Google. You're probably the first site displayed. And in the results page on Google, it displays a summary probably like "the official home page of ferrari cars". On my website I set up a 302 redirect to your website. It means, when someone visits my irule.com, they get redirected to ferrari.com. I don't do anything to your website, I don't have access to your website. I hope you know that Google indexes web pages by visiting those webpages with the user agent string "googlebot" and, of course, Google's IPs which are known to people. When Google sees that my page is 302 redirecting to ferrari.com, for certain reasons, it replaces ferrari.com in its index with irule.com. So when someone searches for "ferrari" the get irule.com as the first result instead of ferrari.com, and the summary still says "the official home page of ferrari cars". Now, I only 302 redirect irule.com to ferrari.com when googlebot visits my page. When anyone else visits irule.com, I give them something else, probably lots of ads, or I redirect them to some other site like LotsOfSmut.com. So I'm "hijacking" any references to ferrari.com on Google and its ranking. And when someone searches for "cars", instead of ferrari.com as the ninth result, irule.com is displayed. So... I profit (you do the math).

OK, so I'm an idiot in maths, and I've read about prime numbers and cryptography and how predicting prime numbers can help crack encrypted material, so is this development of any significance with cryptography?
OK, maybe you're joking and I'm not getting the joke, my apologies. But in case you're not, then I'm not even going to compare you to the most ignorant nerd, since even he can't be this stupid. There is no system of women covering their faces in India. Right now, this system exists in India as much as in USA or any other country. This is just a classic case of ignorance. And when you say 'your part of the world' you're probably comparing India to some place where this sort of thing does exist - it just shows how ignorant you are in grouping together completely unrelated places. I'm talking to people like you when I say 'get out of your house and look around'.
Nice list of all the countries mentioned on American TV channels there. And nice way of giving a separate entry for USA. You forgot India and China, the two biggest fucking countries in the world. I live in India and evolution is not controversial here. We learn evolution in our text books and we accept it. And the same case in China. And most other countries. We (non-US people) have different places for religious documents and scientific facts. We use religious documents for religious ceromonies/festivals etc., and we use science for everything else. (You're only giving reasons for why it's *possible* for evolution to be controversial outside USA. You're not giving any proof for that.) Only in USA do people take a religious document literally and try to put it over science and justify it using science. That's what we mean when we say evolution is not controversial outside USA - we don't reject evolution saying that it contradicts our religious documents. And we don't have such a huge group of people so vigorously working for the acceptance of some non-scientific crackpot theory over evolution. So when you call evolution controversial, either admit that it's only controversial in USA or go out of your mom's basement and look around - the world is not what it seems like on TV and over the Internet. Not all countries are like USA.

Yeah, these are malicious cyber-terrorists destroying the free world by "hacking" something they don't even have direct access to.

Sorry if I'm missing your joke, but MSN search is also "vulnerable" to this.

"Protect" is marketing-speak. What are you protecting it from? Alien invasion?
OK, so I'm an idiot in maths, and I've read about prime numbers and cryptography and how predicting prime numbers can help crack encrypted material, so is this development of any significance with cryptography?
If you don't want this, don't buy it.

You think that's not market-speak? Safe and secure?
Wow! A troll mod within two minutes for stating a fact!! Apple zealots are really incredible!
It didn't plug a "hole". It modified things so that PyMusique won't work anymore. Like they did with Real.

Why don't you try a less vague word word like "word"? Or maybe "e"?
Yeah, I'm a troll for stating the fact that USA is not the only country in the world.
This is one of the stupidest articles I've ever read. I don't know how this guy became a chess grandmaster.
I can't seem to access the full text for books. Can someone please link me to the full text of origin of species on google?
Charles Darwin's controversial treatise.
How is it controversial? Not all of us live in USA, you know.
