Harry Caray: Hey! Let me ask, what's your favorite planet? Jeff Goldblum: Well... I, uh, don't have a favorite. I find them all fascinating. They're all part of a ... Harry Caray: [interrupting] Mine's the Sun. Always has been. I like it because it's like, the King of Planets. Jeff Goldblum: Well, actually Harry, it's not a planet. It's a star. Harry Caray: Well, planet or star, when that thing burns out, we're all gonna be dead. Jeff Goldblum: Well, that's true. But it's not gonna burn out for a very long time. Harry Caray: [crossing fingers] I hope not. [pause] Hey! Doctor, have you ever seen an eclipse? Jeff Goldblum: Uh, yeah, I've seen many. Harry Caray: You know, if you stare at it head on, it'll burn your eyes out. Jeff Goldblum: [breaking character and smiling] Well, it's best not to stare at the sun during an eclipse. Harry Caray: But it's hard not to. I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour. Harry Caray: Hey! Now Ken, We all know that the moon is not made of green cheese. Jeff Goldblum: [cracking up] Yes, that's true, Harry. Harry Caray: But what if it were made of barbecue spare ribs. Would you eat it then? Jeff Goldblum: [confused] What? Harry Caray: I know I would. Heck, I'd have seconds. Then polish it off with a tall, cool Budweiser. Jeff Goldblum: [blank stare] Harry Caray: I would do it. Jeff Goldblum: [just playing along] Yeah. Harry Caray: Would you? Jeff Goldblum: [cracking up and looking at the audience] I'm confused. Harry Caray: It's a simple question, doctor. Would ya eat the moon if it were made of ribs? Jeff Goldblum: I, uh... I don't... I don't know how to answer that, Harry. Harry Caray: It's not rocket science. Just say yes and we'll move on. Harry Caray: Hey! What about this Mad Cow Disease? Jeff Goldblum: [completely cracking up] What about it? Harry Caray: Well, it was here for a while, then it went away. Your thoughts? Jeff Goldblum: Yes, yes, it was in the news for a while and then it disappeared from the news. Harry Caray: Good point! [pause] Gee, I hope I never get it. [long pause] Hey! What about this? If you could choose between being the top scientist in your field, or getting Mad Cow Disease, what would it be? Jeff Goldblum: [pretending to think about it] Well, of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field. Harry Caray: [grasping his hand] Oh good! I was worried you would choose Mad Cow!

Submission + - Are tiny url services defeating Web architecture?

Indus Khaitan writes: "Thanks to twitter, SMS, and mobile web, a lot of people are using the url minimizers like tinyurl.com, urltea.com. However, now I see a lot of people using it on their regular webpages. This could be a big problem if billions of different links are unreachable at a given time. What if a service starts sending a pop-up ad along with the redirect. What if the masked target links to a page with an exploit instead of linking to the new photos of Jessica Alba. Are services like tinyurl, urltea etc. taking the WWW towards a single point of failure? Is it a huge step backward? Or I'm just crying wolf here?"
