There’s an interesting story on reddit today that talks about the rotund ninja star character that does cool stuff like reverse text direction. The reddit story links to this post, where an enlightened commenter points us to Wikipedia. I still feel all but enlightened. Can anyone comment on this?

I’d also like to know who that character shows up in reddit after the URL. Reddit is busted.

Q: I don’t like NoScript redirecting the browser on its welcome page every time I upgrade it. Is there any way to prevent this?
A: First time you install NoScript and every time you upgrade it to a newer major version, Firefox opens an additional tab containing the NoScript welcome page, where you can read the release notes, announcements and an explanation of the most important NoScript features. If you’re a power user and you feel you don’t need such heads up, you can disable this feature by opening about:config (just like it was a normal web address) and toggling off the noscript.firstRunRedirection preference.

I’ve also created a quick bookmarklet. Take this link: 800×600, and drag it to your bookmarks/links toolbar and then click it to resize your window to 800 x 600 pixels.

If that doesn’t work, try this:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443

			return element;

	return elements;
