They "iframed" http://www.romancortes.com/ficheros/meninas.html and Roman fooled them (see 4. Happy Hotlinking).

What happens?

someone set up us the bomb?

edit: I know, I know, but I couldn't resist ;)

I really need a place I can go to without all the distractions of jokes and pics. This is mildly entertaining, but I'm hoping that this type of content won't make its way to this site.

Reddit == Herp Derp

Hacker News == Serious Business

No you don't.

You made this post to feel pompous and self important. There is almost nothing serious or business related about reading hacker news (although in general it is good, rewarding, and fun to stay up to date). It is entertainment, albeit entertainment related to your passion. Don't confuse reading blogs about technology, or interacting with people who build technology with actually building technology. There is a reason PG has a noprocrast feature.

Developer mailing lists for your compiler and core libraries = Serious business

Journal articles on new algorithms related to your project = Serious business

User forums for your product = Serious business

Internal wiki's and product management = Serious business

Hacker News != Serious business

When HN is no longer mostly serious business it will lose all its value. There's a reason why we don't go to Reddit and there's a reason why Redditors are coming here. We need a place that isn't all "intertubes" and "tl;dr". He wasn't being pompous, that's how most of us feel here.

Has your reading of HN directly resulted in a measurable profit for yourself or others in a commonly accepted currency, such as USD or Euro?

If not, then it is leisure, not business.

All we can do is continue flagging.
