As Strong Bad would say, 404'd!
It's the error code for pages that don't exist.
I am both proud and ashamed I get the joke. Janak gets "Geek of the Week" award for even noticing the time and making the association.

Hey, I do Internet-based programming -- what do you expect? I'll even give you the technical discussion: the HTTP protocol specifies the return of a "status" code with any HTTP request. A non-error status typically begins with a 2 (i.e., 2xx), and an error status typically begins with a 4 (i.e., 4xx). 404 is specifically used for a file that's "not found". There are other 4xx codes, like 403 Forbidden.

How many bits are used for the code? Are there any values besides 2 and 4? Is it one-hot encoding for the initial digit?

It would take a haughty hottie to know what one-hot encoding is.

Most Internet protocols typically use 7-bit ASCII encoding, so 21 bits. However, most PCs will store it in a 8-bit character buffer...

Yep. Lots.

It's ASCII, wise girl. :P (Wise woman? Doesn't sound as biting...)
