Now, maybe someone at Facebook will read this and notice: Please fix the chat so that if I have set it offline, it will not quickly popup me as online and then back offline when I later visit Facebook. It seems like a stupid bug. It also leads to stupid private messages (especially from my mother -_-) when I just want to check updates.
Install Social Fixer and use "Automatically force chat logout on every page load" under the Chat options. It fixed that "bug" for me, even though Social Fixer sometimes has its own little bugs.
Asian text input on Linux (other *nix too?) is, and has been, a total and utter shitfight.
I have to input several Asian text systems on my system and the utter mess (and the perceived immaturity) of IME systems on Linux (SCIM, and now IBUS and whateverelseisoutthere), at least for (East) Asian/CJK text, stops me from switching to Linux full time. It's a total show stopper for me. Sometimes in Linux I was able to get it to get a CJK IME system work, only to have it vanish after reboot. Sometimes the input bar/key sequence wouldn't work forcing me to click to three menus just to turn it on and off. Then sometimes it would only work in certain desktop windows. And so on.
Further more, often it wouldn't work with MORE than one Asian language at the same time, for example, if I had Japanese and Korean concurrently installed/activated. It would use one, but seemly refuse to switch to another. (It was like WWII all over again on my computer, lolz.)
It probably reflects the fact that modern computers (and most certainly *nix/Linux) were mostly developed in counties that use alphabet, crossed with the fragmented open-source design of the OS, meant that CJK/IME input was always an after-thought, in every sense of the word. Therefore, many Asian countries that wanted to use Linux (etc.) in the past simply developed their own native "one language, one solution" IMEs (i.e. Nabi for Korean). I used some them and they would work well (naturally) but they would then conflict with another language's concurrently running "native" input system in key binding and other things (naturally as the original programmers never consider that someone would be running ANOTHER language's IME at the same time), resulting in me eventually having to disable one to use the other... screw that. I didn't have enough time in the day to be constantly fucking around with something as basic and fundamental as text input.
tl;dr version: CJK input manipulation sucks balls on Linux. On OSX and Windows CJK input works consistently, at a system level, system-wide, in every window, EVERY TIME. Both Windows and OSX also both seamlessly switch from one language to another for all CJK languages. For me, this show stopper. I really like Linux, it reminds me of my old Amiga from days of yore, but I can't switch full time because of this.
With the recent deluge of articles on curing aids, cancer and even the common cold, is the future finally here? Are we going Deus Ex in a few years now?
Didn't you get the memo? Don't forget we just broke the speed of light! The future was here few days ago!

Australia has the concept of Debit "Credit-Cards", which immediately deduct the money from the account.
I assume the person you replied to has one of them.
Not quite, (most) Australians hold credit cards that can be used to access/authorise withdrawals from a normal debit (savings) account that is "bundled" together to the same cardholder. In practice, this means that credit cards seem to "act" like debit cards... but actually it's just binding two accounts together so that they can be accessed via one piece of plastic. This is why Australian ATMs and POS machines give a person the choice to press a "saving"/"cheque" (debt account—cheque accounts are becoming rare now) button, or a "credit" button.
Back to the original topic: yes, the case of a cancelled or "captured" (retained in the ATM) "credit card" would also render you unable to access your debt (savaings) accounts too.

Apple is the new Microsoft.
Google is the new Apple.
Facebook is the new Google.
Twitter is the new Facebook. ...and then it's turtles all the way down.

Yeah, I lived in Japan for many years and I also came to the same conclusion.
But then I moved to (South) Korea.
Holly fuck, you thought Japan was bad? It's about 10 times worse in Korea.

"Oh my God, I thought my password was 1234hunter2" !!? Um.... what else could it be, Judge???"
Go to jail anyway. After all, think of the children.

Don't install the required video plugin when prompted to (at least on Firefox 5).
I reckon that'll stop it from working.

Yes, they're called "kkangpae" or just "pa". Wikipedia has a little more info.
