Just wanted to point you all to Wayne Larsen's alternate interface to Hackernews, called hckr news.

I really like the clean and fast interface, compared to the everlasting old interface on the original page (even though you can of course use User CSS to pep it up a little).

Wayne also created browser extensions that do a little more good to the old Hacker News interface. He also included my Collasible Threads bookmarklet. Thanks!
