我慶幸自己對社會一點興趣也沒有,不然一定要寫很多文章,時時要發議論,事事都要有意見,這樣活著多麼辛苦。

我很害怕看到別人勉為其難在談論一件事,像這個政策有什麼內容,那個現象有什麼要注意。其實是淺白得

Bad patch management at Sun

    Search Engine Indexing Limits: Where Do the Bots Stop? takesan experimental approach to seeing how big a page various search enginebots will fetch, and how much of large pages they index.I find this an interesting question because it affects how you organizeyour content and generate indexes to it, especially for dynamic websiteswith auto-generated aggregate pages.

    One area not investigated in the article is how far down the pages thesearch engine bots will go looking for links to follow. I smell afollowup project for someone
