Knockout includes a function called ko.isObservable() . You can call it like ko.isObservable(vm[key]) . Update from comment: Here is a function to determine if something is a computed observable: UPDATE: If you are using KO 2.1+ - then you can use ko.isComputed directly.
Command Block. The Command Block is a redstone-powered block that was made available in the 1.4 update for Minecraft. The Command Block will perform server Commands when attached to a redstone circuit. This block cannot be crafted, and only server operators are allowed to place and use them.
This only one command block creation adds its own special version of minecraft world edit, so that you can terraform, clone in areas, and create TNT bombs of whatever blocks you want!
