If you are reading this and want some typing practise:

It's a "sharks are going to eat you, type the word on the side of them to kill them, get more, faster sharks and longer words as you progress" game.

Too bad it needs Java.

I find that Lesswrong yields interesting subjects for study, as well as useful insights pertaining to said subjects, both in the articles themselves and in the attached comments.

However, because of the website format, I have a tendency to succumb to Chronic Internet Distraction Disease while browsing here. To solve this problem, I would like to devise a way to transfer articles and their associated commentary from Lesswrong to my hard drive, where I can read them without the tantalizing proximity of embedded hyperlinks.

The articles themselves can be copy-pasted, but I can think of no good way to handle the issue of translating threaded comments. When I try to copy these directly, my word processor tells me to stick a finger up my nose, because producing smart looks evidently ain't in my nature.

Informed suggestions and clever solutions will be appreciated.

You can use a simple bookmarklet to make links on LW non-functional, e.g.:

javascript:(function(){$$('a').each(function(q){q.writeAttribute('href','#');})})();

To use this you would just set up a bookmark with the code as the address and click on it while LW is open.

Edit: A cross-site version of the bookmarklet would look like this:

javascript:(function(){var x=document.getElementsByTagName('a');for(var i=0,n=x.length;i<n;i++)x[i].setAttribute('href','#');})();
