I was playing with the "My Followers" feature related to LinkedIn Publisher (so still fairly small user base and relatively new) and got back a really weird code screen within their site.  I don't know how to code or am even that technical, but know it's not HTML or web code, which leads me to believe it's proprietary. Which I could be wrong about since let me reiterate: I is dumb with the coding languages.

But it piqued my curiosity enough to wonder whether anyone here might know what the hell this is (cut and paste in full after the screen shot):
