I think you are missing some things in your .htaccess. Here's how it's supposed to look like:
AuthName "this is neat"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/www/users/tstock/.htpasswd
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
Note the AuthUserFile points to a .htpasswd, not .htaccess, and that the path is a file path, not a URL.
To create your .htpasswd file, use the command `htpasswd -c .htpasswd username_here` from the shell. The -c flag is only needed for the first user.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
