The first page of stuff is all superficial and pointless. My favorite is the one that suggests leaving the "http" off URLs when typing them into the address bar, so that you enter ://example.com instead of http://example.com http://example.com. I'd really like to know what idiot there didn't realize you don't need the :// either. . . . and I just realized that for some reason HN eats a double-quote at the end of a URL, so I edited this to eliminate most of the double-quotes I used in the comment. I don't want a delimiter mismatch, after all.
