Am I doing something wrong? http://debian.org, theregister.co.uk, and slashdot.org were all "malware".

No you weren't doing anything wrong, I was updating the malware database and how it checks for malware.

Make sure you're escaping user input. I got a revealing MySQL error before and found that I _could_ have injected some nasty strings.

Teehee.

1) How is an untypeable URL useful, except as a cute hack?

2) It's not really untypeable anyway, as it gets translated to Punycode which you could remember and then type.

It's as useful as you make it, for example if you have a URL, say your Facebook profile, and don't want your parents to know but still want to share it, you could write it out and share it. It requires the other person being able to understand how to use the tools required to type it.

It get's untypeable when it gets into the Kanji, so something like ㋖ュ isn't really untypeable but it will take you a bit.

Yes, and a short, unsearchable domain name that I can't type either.

Allows invalid characters: http://séó.com/!]

Inetgate
But, if you use iPhone, it's easy for type "séó.com".
