Yeah. Maybe he's off implementing a downmod arrow so I can bury this crap submission.

  Maybe a reddit-like "hide" feature would be better -- doesn't affect anyone else, just let's you skip stuff you'd personally not see. I'm sure someone has the GreaseMonkey-Fu to do this without troubling the site programmers.

    My criticism is valid. nickb is one of two things: A non-existent person, or a person who has real-life contacts who can submit a missing-persons report if required.

      Kind of, although more like reddit's "hide" feature. There's also a GM script to do like the extension you link, but it has menus so there's no need to edit an array. No time to find link but it will be on userscripts.org somewhere.

        Fine, I added a UI to it... http://www.andrewfarmer.name/2008/04/hn-blacklist-now-with-ui.html http://www.andrewfarmer.name/2008/04/hn-blacklist-now-with-u...

        Thanks! We need a YC'er of the week award :)

        I'm not sure I should win an award for creating a blacklist. I mostly did it because it was a fun exercise in javascript (which I am learning).

        > I mostly did it because it was a fun exercise in javascript Me too :) Although I'd recommend using jQuery if you have time to learn that as well. Makes DOM-related stuff easy so you only need to roll code for the things which are unique to your app.

        I'm actually taking the opposite approach... I started using jQuery to do all my DOM related stuff, but now learning actual javascript for the fun of it. It really is a surprisingly flexible language.

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw nickb pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

  I'd upmod twice if I could.

  Thank you Simone.

  I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. (Since this is getting downmodded into oblivion, that was a Spaceballs reference. That's a line from the same scene with "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.")

    So you decided to quote a line from a classic 1980s movie because said line occurs in said movie shortly before a line which sounds somewhat like the line from another classic 1980s movie which was (quite relevantly and in context) quoted by the parent post? Did you think that plan through carefully?
