chuckle World Series of Internet. The article carefully avoids providing a link to the actual site, but it is here: http://internetatlas.org/

I wonder why people get off on writing articles and hinting at the reader about the original article or PDF and then never linking it? Are they that desperate to keep people on their site just for the ads?

This is somewhat odd, but in the Terms and Conditions on the original site it prohibits linking to the site from any other site or document...

"first detailed map of the Internet's structure worldwide" Opens the link to the article. Sees map of the U.S. only. Finds no links in the article linking to a world map either...

I prohibit you from _not_ linking to it. It's roughly the same legal argument.

Did you get written consent to provide that link? Their TOS says you have to: "8. You may not create a link to this Site from another website or document without WAIL's prior written consent."

I wonder if any of the crawlers in the world care. What a ridiculous thing to put on a website on the public internet.

Seeing as how they don't have a robots.txt, probably not.

Holy shit, that's literally the funniest thing I saw on the Internet this month.

I can imagine how such an idea could occur to someone completely non-technical, but presumably authors of the site are somewhat knowledgeable about the Internet...

It's in the map image, though barely visible.

This is simply absurd.
