I can from Uniten; but not from home (Streamyx). This is what I get:

                  Access Denied to IP Address 219.93.174.100

    Thank you for your interest in Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics.
    Unfortunately, your client, subnet, proxy, or cache server has been
    identified as source of an excessive number of hits which appear to
    have originated from a robot or spider.

    As stated on the site's FAQs,

      http://mathworld.wolfram.com/about/terms.html
      http://mathworld.wolfram.com/about/faq.html#copyright
      http://mathworld.wolfram.com/about/faq.html#access
      http://mathworld.wolfram.com/about/faq.html#mirrors

    readers are encouraged to use the contents of these pages for
    education and enjoyment, but these pages may not be copied, mirrored,
    or reproduced in bulk without permission of the author. Reproduction
    for commercial purposes is not permitted, nor is use of robots to
    create cached or archival copies.

    Unfortunately, while a single user may be responsible for this, the
    consequence of his or her actions is that an entire subnet may now be
    blocked. If you (or your ISP) is able to identify the originator of
    bulk download attempts from your subnet, prevail upon him or her not
   to repeat such action, and delete any local copies of files, the block
    may be lifted. To request lifting of the block, send the above
    information (together with the blocked IP address) to the email
    address below.

    We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that increased awareness
    of copyright and intellectual property issues on the internet will
    eventually result in more responsible behavior on behalf of internet
    users, obviating the need for access restrictions.

    Please note that this block is not imposed arbitrarily, but only as a
    result of an analysis of excessive traffic over a short period of time
    received from the currently blocked subnet. Analysis indicates that
    this is not simply the result of many different users on a single
    subnet, but rather originates from rapid-fire machine-generated
    requests.



Said IP isn't mine; but belongs to the same netblock.
I'm looking forward to get one person from this list with a good working 
relationship to Telekom to incite Streamyx into a punishment of said 
user as above.
Have Fun !

Uwe
