How can you two be members for approximately a century and still have no other problems? 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

How can you be a member for over eight years and still have such bad arithmetic skills?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Which finally leads me to asking a programming question here:
How do I get a computer to add days, months and years accurately?

Threats.
Eddie: I'm waiting. I can wait all day if necessary.
Zaphod Beeblebrox: Computer, if you don't open that exit hatch pretty damn pronto, I shall go straight to your major data banks with a very large axe and give you a reprogramming you will never forget. Capisco?
Works for me! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And what if that thing is threat safe?

You assume I did not report it.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I know you didn't report it, because I checked the OP's message log, and only one person had downvoted the post (and that was me)...

Are you thinking about performance? If so, use the fastest but more inaccurate checks first. If they fail, return false. If they pass, then do the slower but more accurate checks. That way, the false results would be really fast. The true results would be a touch slower.

Should have waited until Friday, then post a Friday Programming Challenge (haven't had one for a while).
If you care about only ASCII characters, use an array of ints
If you want to support Unicode, use a Dictionary of ints
Iterate the strings
For each character in the first string, increment its respective value
For each character in the second string, decrement its respective value
At the end, all values should be zero

It could be a misunderstanding that 1 == best.

I see nothing there indicating that this is the person who voted.

The downvote and the comment came almost the same time, and there was only one vote when I posted the message.As downvote wants you to comment, I assume there wouldn't any other case.

That's no longer true. Hasn't been true in quite a while now.

Ah, in that case,I probably made a mistake.
Will delete this post. Thanks for clarification Pete.

How do you know who down-voted, and why are you complaining about it "in public."

I am not complaining. Just indicating an one of cases where person downvotes and then appreciates. Nothing else. 
|
|
|
|
|
As you can't see who downvotes you, how do you know it was this user? I saw nothing indicating that this was the case.

How did you know that he down-voted you?
|

He probably voted it down so that people won't read it, so won't recognise it when he plagiarises it.
At first glance, it looks pretty damned good. I've bookmarked it to read it properly later.

Actually, he didn't vote for you at all ...
