Have you noticed the walking "bug" appeared today on the Cygwin Home
Page (http://www.cygwin.com).
I initially thought that it was a real insect inside my PC monitor, but
then I realized it was a "graphical" bug walking on the same path, an
horizontal "8".
I wonder if it doesn't hide some new malaware...
It's a well known fact that all software (and web sites) have bugs.
In this case, I think it's not the figurative meaning, but a little more
"literal", well, at least in the visual sense. :-)
Examine the source html for that url and you will find the following
embedded in it:
<h1>This is the home of the Cygwin project <img
src="insectod4.gif"></h1>
Someone embedded "insectod4.gif" which appears to be an animated gif of a
bug going in a figure 8. Quite funny, actually.
