Script Summary: (For Australians) Automatically view PopSci links through a proxy to prevent redirects to popsci.com.au

Ever tried to view a link on PopSci.com and been redirected to a 404 page on PopSci.com.au? Here's what PopSci.com.au says:

As we are the publishers of the Australian edition of Popular Science Magazine and www.popsci.com.au in our license agreement we are entitled to block the US website from being made accessible to Australian web users.

This script bypasses that policy by passing all PopSci pages through Proxify.com, simulating a reader whose IP address is in the United States. (Remember, if you really want to visit PopSci.com.au, turn off this script as it will forcefully intervene if you try!)
