Google Crawals URL is NOT Working

I tried the URL link given in above topic but that is not working.

Google is the best. I attended a contest conducted by Google, named "WordMaster" and it was the best around the corner.

I am Mitul Bhavsar, a freelancer web designer / website developer. Look at my website: http://www.designwebgraphic.com

I am sure Google will control over a web-world soon in the future.

Broken link to Google Code Search

I noticed the link to the Google Code Search in the article is broken. I think I see what's wrong though.

Your link was the following:
http://dw.com.com/redir?destUrl=Google.com%2Fcodesearch&siteId=3&oId=2100-1024-6122819&ontId=1023&lop=nl.ex
However, that redirects to http://dw.com.comgoogle.com/ (a spam site since comgoogle.com is being cybersquatted). The reason is that the "http://" was omitted from redirect link, which apparently breaks Cnet's redirect script.

Adding back the http:// and changing Google.com to www.google.com, the correct URL should be:
http://dw.com.com/redir?destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcodesearch&siteId=3&oId=2100-1024-6122819&ontId=1023&lop=nl.ex

Nice

Good catch, looks like CNET's programmers are going to make use of this one real quick ;).

Actually its probably a really easy fix but.. yeah

Can it crawl HERE? ...

... and maybe figure out what is going on at that odd military site in China recently discovered using Google Earth?

That's the place in the middle of the desert where the Chinese Army has constructed a scale-model replica of the entire region of Aksai Chin (occupied by China since the 1962 war with India). At 1:500, it's still 700 by 900 meters big ( = several football fields). Next to it is a base with dozens of troop transporters seen coming and going. The duplicate shows everything: rivers, lakes, roads and snow-capped mountains. It's basically a landscape within a landscape.

The problem is that nobody has been able to figure out the function of this thing. The world's biggest miniature golf course, perhaps? China's own Area 51? That's why it's the subject of so much discussion in the blogosphere. The discoverer even had to set up his own blog: foundinchina.blogspot.com

Any ideas?

Spammer alert

Will you STOP spamming about this military site!
I'm getting sick of seeing it posted in every talkback thread.

[rajender.tella]

WOW

That will be a nice feature for developers!

[martin1212]

Yes

Agreed, it's a fantastic resource. I've already used it a few times to see how people are using some language features...

[gvsunil1]

its amazing

it was very useful for the software developers
