And the only questions this situation raises are why did their space program have only one astronaut? Why is an entire nation's space endeavor forced to shut down, because one person resigned?
The anonymous reader's summary raises completely ridiculous issues, such as, "...whether she was the right person to lead the program and whether the huge cost of sending her into space was a waste of taxpayer's money." These are childish accusations which insinuate that the blame should be put on the astronaut, instead of the space program.
The fact that this addon exists is a symptom of the overlying problem, which is that these companies feel they need such a restrictive level of security on their application forms.
My two favorite online form issues are: 1)Not being able to save the form in an editable state to work on at my leisure. 2)Signature fields that either do not allow using PDF's built in signature file import, or require some unusual signature format instead of the simple picture file that any PDF reader can place in the field.
It's 2014 and it irks me quite a bit when I am forced to print, sign, then scan a document. It can, and should be much more straight forward and easy.

"Why would you ever want have a browser NOT open its last state when you open it?"
Choice. The user should be allowed to choose what behavior they prefer. The behavior that you think is so mandatory may be the same thing that other users want to avoid and not having the ability to change that behavior upsets them. Many open source projects have forked over this very issue.
I used to manage an arcade in the USA. In my arcade, anything on a Sega Naomi system was also being released in near perfect ports for the Sega Dreamcast. And the Dreamcast was simply superb for pirating games off the internet since you didn't even need to modify it in order to play burned games.
So innovation and graphics would have justified the price of playing the arcade machines over playing the game at home. And this was years ago. I can only guess that the problem is worse now with the Xbox and PS3.
Keep the federal oversight out of our games, please.
You may not have had a choice in entering this world, but you certainly have a choice about playing a game. And putting real money into a game in the form of Linden Dollars is also a choice.
Absolutely! Sega dropped the ball on the DC. The game piracy issue is the number 1 reason why the DC faded away so fast.
For those of you who were not aware... The Sega Dreamcast (1st gen) was/is able to play games burnt to cd-r right out of the box! Brilliant! What developer wants to make a game for a system that comes pre-modded from the factory?
I am so tired of all these years of hearing "PS2 killed DC"! PS2 would have killed DC if it had been given the chance... but it wasn't.

None of that matters if you get a keylogger on your system.
Any time I reinstall Windows XP, I have to use a ps2 mouse and keyboard.

Think of the kids! It's an intersting and fun way to learn about the world.
Also, video producers have already started using apps like this in their films... "Loose Change: Second Edition", anyone?
