You left the company in at the end, you can edit it out if you want.

And yea, that's the error I was anticipating. Those Google sensors kick in when really rapid searching or multiple simultaneous searches from the same IP are occuring - a DDOS sensor, basically.

You can cause it to happen on any connection by opening a dozen or so Google windows and searching simultaneously, or by writing a script that hits the query page a couple times a second.

It'll subside as traffic to the site does, which is why is probably why IT is trying to steer employees away from it.
