Checking, yes, the same text. But as a reader, I didn't see the other one and i did see this one (maybe because it had more upvotes), so, for me, it was a good thing that this one was here. There's an element of competition for most eye-catching headline that I don't think can be administrated away.

BTW: if you state the link directly (not indented), it is automatically linkerized like so: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=431033


I am so going to read this later.
