    Just posting to let you know that we've added some rules to make this contest better and fair towards all hacks. You may not vote for the same hack in more than five categories. Since any hack is eligible, there's plenty of hacks to choose from; you shouldn't vote for your favourite hack in (almost) all the categories!
