At 250 apparently you can change the color of the bar on the top. 6 more points to go! *Thanks to everyone who voted this up. I can now confirm that this is indeed legit. On your settings page you can enter a six digit hexadecimal number that will change the color of the top bar. I'm going to try some of these out! http://www.somacon.com/cgi/colorchart.pl

Cool, it looks like these are actual live topcolors from HN database (distinct colors set in preferences by all users).

I made a color map sorted on hues and lightness: http://alteredqualia.com/visualization/hn/colors.png

20 karma – downvote comments. 200 karma – make polls ( http://news.ycombinator.com/newpoll ). 250 karma – customize the top bar background color. ??? karma – flag posts and comments (on their individual page).

I just created a poll with karma of 196

At 600+ karma, you get infinite bonus mushrooms and infinite ammo. You have to beat the game twice on impossible mode in the military suit and max out all your guns, though, even the stupid one that takes forever to fire and then the zombie eats your head because you were sitting there trying to warm it up instead of shooting zombies, which would have been the logical thing to do. At 1000+ karma, you take off your he…

These numbers are way too low. I'd have to have gone to 94 people's houses and made them sandwiches. (I already explained the meaning of life in a footnote in "Great Hackers.")

Hmmm... I'm getting close to my 2000... Can I request a chicken sandwich with my zen awakening?

Rumor has it that at 20,000 karma you get to know nickb's true identity.

I created one with a karma of 150, so it has got to be way lower than 200.
