It is not precisely wrong, and thanks for tricking me into opening an obscene picture at work, asshole.
The internet is designed to be highly fault tolerant, because it was based on an arpanet project to design a network that would NOT go down, even if there was damage to a significant percentage of nodes.
The "asshole" in this case is JWZ, [randomly?] switching on the Referer header. Apparently he has a hard-on for HN; he's not the only one, but I won't be linking to his site again. (Although, is that really "obscene"? It doesn't do anything for me?) Try this instead, since Stanford are unlikely to engage in such shenanigans:
It's funny, my original comment had the links in plaintext so copying-and-pasting was required and Referer wasn't involved. I changed that on request. b^)
