    Apple computers do a version of this by default.

    Yes, it's called Safe Sleep. In fact, that whole article (on Hibernate) is informative for all the major OSes, but it could use information on BSD (and perhaps OS/2, if that even runs on laptops?)

    Or it could be like Duffy says, and it's people who can't afford (yet) to purchase games. What about the people who pirated Warcraft and now pay $15/month for World of Warcraft?

    Yeah, the only option I'd like to see would be to tell it that I do like the feature searching in the middle of title, but instead of using 'contains' it could use 'starts with' or example. This might fuck up people who forgot the full name of battlestar galactica and typed 'star', but as long as it's an option would it make you happier?

    So basically, eBay is doing SEO tactics, and hey, they're working! I guess it's irresponsible for a browser to assume users don't purposefully visit scummy SEO pages?

    That's bug 167951 and still has not been fixed (but it's really an enhancement, so I can understand the non-priority).

    The official word from blog.mozilla.com is that acid3 is basically worthless.

    Well, @firefox_answers is blaming addons. And if he's doing it, that's probably the official reason from Mozilla (I don't think they'd let someone abuse their trademarks so blatantly for long otherwise, and he's been around for a few months).

    Maybe with WoW. With Paypal you just do the same 'forgot password' security questions. It even prompts you automatically for them if you fuck up.

    No, the idea is you get a call over GSM and then pick it up using SIP somehow, I don't know how that's possible but apparently it is.

    PayPal sells these keyfobs as well, and I bought one. It broke, started showing 42424242 and 88888888, as well as some diagnostic info (like 25% batt, etc). I contacted PayPal and they weren't very helpful (as expected), and it was basically, buy another one. I just disabled the requirement for it on the account.

    I think that the paypal security issue is similar, just phishing. But hey, if my account got fucked while I had a keyfob activated, I'd be at an advantage wouldn't I?

    Ron Paul. There were actually 3 sets of votes, the 414-1 was the 3rd (the one in May), but there were two in April.

    Of the two in April, the one in the house had 3 nays: Jeff Flake, Ron Paul, and Edward Royce.

    On May 1, Royce and Flake voted Yay, and Paul voted Nay. (As opposed to Royce/Flake just not voting).

    Apparently Western (ISO-8859-1), but they're weird to me too. I just copy pasted them directly from my viewport on the link provided. I didn't see the weird characters in the paste or in the preview, but after submission it was there.

    I would edit it but slashdot doesn't provide any edit window.
