Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

For some reason I get stuck at the "security check" when clicking that n-gate link -- none of the buttons do anything, which might or might not be the point.

Granted, the site was interesting enough that I clicked around until I made my way back to the article you were linking to in the first place, but the link itself at least failed to fulfill its purpose :P

The n-gate person put this fake captcha to prevent people from accessing their site when hackernews is the referer.

Just paste the address in your address bar !

Note that the original redirect is a 301, so Chrome will keep redirecting you even if you paste the URL in a new window. Clear your cache or use incognito to avoid it.
Ha, that's kinda awesome given the general tone of that site. Hooray for well-executed tech-cynicism.
Okay that is extremely antisocial. I had no idea the site author did that. Live and learn I guess...
