PHP: Removing www

For some reason Google has a different PageRank for programmabilities.com and www.programmabilities.com. No big deal really, but it bothered me a bit. So I added this rule to .htaccess to fix it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.programmabilities.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://programmabilities.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This way I got rid of the www part once and for all, which I also find nicer. I used a 301 Permanent redirect hoping Google will understand that a search for link:http://programmabilities.com/blog/ and a search for link:http://www.programmabilities.com/blog/ should return the same results.
