Things should be simple. But not any simpler!
A Japanese blogger who goes by the name Hamachiya2 has discovered a single line of HTML and CSS that crashes IE 6. The line is:
<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>
If you’re brave, you can click here to try it out. The code is rendered correctly in Firefox, Safari and Opera (didn’t get a chance to try any other browsers, but presumably they work too). But in IE 6 it raises a fatal error in mshtml.dll.
A deep link is a direct link to a web site’s resource without accessing the main page of the site. For example your site is http://www.abc.com and your contact page is at http://www.abc.com/contactus/contact.html. If a user types the 2nd link without going though the main page, he is called as The Deep Linker.
It becomes a problem for many of the sites which display ads on their first page(the index page). The HTTP protocol doesn’t bother if the user is asking for a resource via a deep link or via a normal link. After all, the request which goes to the server is something like this :
GET /contactus/contact.html
for both cases 1. When you access it through a deep link or 2. When you access it normally via first page’s link.
So, how to avoid people from linking deep?
Here’s a small trick:
1. Check for a cookie at each deep link. If it doesn’t exist, redirect to index page.
2. On the index page insert a cookie which gets killed when the browser is closed.
Anyone knowing a non cookie based solution to this problem do post it in the comments

Recently I found the lyrics of The Free Software Song by Richard Stallman.
Before the lyrics here a short history of the song: Richard Stallman was attending some get together where everyone had to either sing or perform something. He knew his turn was coming so he quickly scribbled this song. He also thought of the tune that very moment. When he sung the song, people said it sounded like an anthem and one lady said that he should show it to Richard Stallman. He replied that he was Richard Stallman!
