Buh? How does Sarbanes-Oxley relate to Tiny URLs?? I think I missed something.

Just to add to this, at my old job, we were not allowed to go to sites via
Tiny Urls. The company had a very paranoid security group. I'm not sure
whether Sarbanes-Oxley had anything to do with the ban.

I have also shared Lewis's concerns about tiny URLs. I really like to know
where I'm going on the Web before I'm sent there.
I see that for tiny.cc links, you can add an = at the end of the string, and
it will first bring up a preview page that lets you see the full destination
URL. You can then click to go there (or not). Excellent feature, in my
opinion.

Hmmm, it looks like you can tiny a URL using an API:
http://tiny.cc/api-docs
Could be a cool, simple integration project/macro for a sasCommunity.org
page.
Thanks,

Subject: Tiny URL's....
I've notice more and more of the "tiny" URL's, such as those Rick has
posted. I first saw a "tiny" as a link to a youtube video. However, being
completely ignorant of the subject, I dismissed it as a potential virus
threat.
QUESTION:
1) What software do you users of "tinyurl" recommend.
2) I know SAS is working on some trendy items, such as Quick Response Code
software. Is SAS capable of generating "tinyurl's"?

Subject: Re: finding the sum of 100 4x4 matrices in proc iml
The answer is the same as I gave for your previous question: make the
problem easy by getting rid of the 100 matrices (see http://bit.ly/vBSAV0).
Instead, use a 100 x 16 matrix where each row contains a 4x4 matrix.
(You can use the SHAPE function to easily recast a 4x4 matrix as a 1x16 row
vector.
To sum the matrices, you just sum the columns:
sum = X[+, ];
If you want it in matrix form:
sumM = shape(sum, 4, 4);
If there is some reason that you really need to have 100 4x4 matrices
instead of one 100 x 16 matrix, you can use the VALSET and VALUE functions
(see http://bit.ly/vEwoxf), but it will be easier to use the 100 x 16
matrix.
