From http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."



I think in this case the number is meaningful, because the point of the list isn't to show us X amount of ways to actually refresh a page with javascript, but rather to highlight the (slightly humorous) vast number of ways it can be done, due to the ambiguity and redundancy found in Javascript (and in the DOM).

I would have guessed that this number would be high, but definitely not in the 500's.


`window.window === window`, so that number is actually in the infinities.


The number is meaningful here.
