Vivek,
Cannot access at the bank.
Contacted friends at other banks. Same story :(
So some 1 million plus corporate programmers don't have access to your website. Here's the message I get on Internet Explorer.

- dxbydt 14y agoimho the reason is the name. If news.ycombinator.com was called hackernews.com, it would be blocked in 15 seconds flat. That's corporate america for you.
- uiri 14y agoHackerne.ws points to the same IP address as news.ycombinator.com. Is the former blocked but the latter allowed?
