The area code for Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Before dialing a phone number long distance to Calgary be sure to add 403 in front of it or else you'll get some other damn place...

403 stands for permission numbers in binary.

Owner, Group, and World in that order stand for the numbers 4 0 and 3
When translated to binary this is what the numbers mean
r w x
4 -- 1 0 0
0 -- 0 0 0
3 -- 0 1 0

r -- read
w -- write
x -- execute

If its a zero, means you don't have the permission to do that particular task.
So, that means is theres a 0 in the r column you cannot read that file.

As you can see from the r column in a 403 code, NO one has permission to read it except the owner (4). The group(0) and the rest of the world(3) both are denied access to this particular file.
Any website that displays the 403 error.
