There's a typo in the link above, it should be:

http://news.ucsc.edu/2011/08/eris-simulation.html

instead of:

http://news.ucsc.edu/2011/08/eris-simulation.htmlv

Diff: there's a v.

Either that or the HN crowd is so proficient at noticing and removing defects in identifier strings that they barely notice the couple of keyboard shortcuts required to remove the v when they see the 404 :)
