DON'T RUN THIS SCRIPT. My IP was blocked from Hacker News and now I'm having to SSH tunnel in (and no, I haven't done anything unsavory on HN today) :)
Also, if someone could unblock 81.86.235.* I'd be much obliged, thank you. I have turned off this silly script.
It was quite clearly spelled out on this page... anti bot mechanisms are pretty much a must for any site that is 'above the radar' otherwise you end up serving bots 90% of the time and users 10% of the time. If the service survives.

Indeed, I'd be grateful if 78.86.95.* was unblocked also please.
Thanks to PG for unbanning me! :)
I still can't believe I ran this script without thinking of how it worked and the coincidences of running it...
