Wolfram|Alpha have changed their name: http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2011/04/01/wolframalpha-changes...

Now it's: http://www.wolframalpha.com/bieberbeta.html

WolframAlpa|Beta would have been funnier in my opinion. This just feels like my dad trying to be hip.

> The "DNF" header can't be a serious proposal since it doesn't follow the convention of other HTTP headers. Why do you say that? The Do Not Track header (which is of course quite serious) is "DNT".

I hadn't looked at DNT. Are there other recent http header propsals that use acronyms? Maybe I'm just not keeping with the times.

The rationale for "DNT" is to minimize the bandwidth/latency impact of adding a new header to every single HTTP request (for users who enable the "do not track" option).
