// ----------------------------------------------------------
// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Piping into and out of the cloud with skypipe

Skypipe is a magical command line tool that lets you easily pipe data across terminal sessions, regardless of whether the sessions are on the same machine, across thousands of machines, or even behind a firewall. It gives you named pipes in the sky and lets you pipe data anywhere.

Skypipe is sort of like named pipes and netcat, but with even more power and a simpler interface. Here is a simple example using skypipe like you would a regular named pipe in order to gzip a file across shells:

$ skypipe | gzip -9 -c > out.gz

Your skypipe is ready to receive some data from another shell process:
