I actually did a === check for just that reason, since if you define _ = {}, then passing in a real object that is {} will also return true for _ == {}

feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that GreaseMonkey scripts run on the same page, but in no way _replace_ the scripts a site serves. what, I think, Stallman envisions is being able to use your local copy of Gmail instead o

I'd like to see this applied as an embeddable feature in hacker news. see who writes comments, which comments get commented on and what people really have to say before they hit that 'add comment' button

A compiler that takes Sed programs and produces Parrot interpreter code. It was a project in a college Compilers class that I didn't take seriously enough, so I'm revisiting it to see if I've actually grown better at this programming thing

I'm as against censorship as the next guy, but the government is filtering content , they're not taking protocols away from us. Worst case, the government gets the backbone. Wasn't this scenario the design target of the original ARPAnet?

while I agree that the prevailing attitude is "if you're not a hacker/programmer, use Windows, not Linux" I guess I don't really get why. Your comment on the fact that software needs to come with a nice printed manual highlights why: of my

huh, I didn't think it would be a social lesson, I was expecting something more along the lines of: use compilers and high-level languages and don't care what your object code looks like

I'm a developer, I've run various OS's over the years, Windows first, Mac OS X after that, and after my iBook's hard drive failed, I now run Linux on a refurbed ThinkPad. Windows was the only environment that I had to get out of. The am

C-M-\ actually only indents the 'region', which is the text between the point (your cursor) and the mark (C-Space). The neat thing about this is that yank (C-y) automatically sets the point and the mark at opposite sides of the yanked text.
