It's the Konami Code. Here's a list of other sites that accept it (includes Digg and jQuery among others):

That takes me to a blank page with the HN frame (and the Konami Code doesn't do anything)?

It's a link to a story that was killed. You can turn on "show dead" in your profile to see them.

Here is how the lens flare is implemented

You can also add the effect to your sites with a couple of javascript files.

As of about 3 days ago there is a jQuery plugin for the Konami Code.

Nice... Just a note though, to turn it off you have to log out and then log back in. Refreshing the page doesn't do anything.

Refreshing seemed to reset it for me.
