Any ETA? I would love to try it on birds. It's a real pain searching for the name of a newly seen bird. Edit: Aah bummer, seems won't be available for android anytime soon. Ref: http://zoology-app.com/where-can-i-g

For the last few days, I was getting 404s on a lot of tmux links on sourceforge. Guess this explains that ;)

Not really a solution, but using NoScript helps in such situations. I was using NoScript and only after seeing your comment (and temporarily whitelisting the site) did I notice the issue.

It was there previously? Sorry I missed it. In any case, I wouldn't call the action I mentioned malicious. There is no hack involved, no improvisation either. Simply using a built-in feature of `less`.
