Does seem like an 'honest' bug. I did what the OP did (except I checked the middle option), and when you then look at the source of the page, it includes

The 'div' that you had checked earliers has an empty 'CHECKED' attribute, while the third one has the 'checked=""' that firefox apparently picks up.
- colmvp 13y agoI mean, if they're going to do everything in ugly inline CSS, it doesn't surprise me that they didn't check to see whether or not the user selection of the subscription reset upon reload.
- runarb 13y agoAgree. The author is jumping to conclusions her. Remind me of this great quote: "Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence" - Napoleon Bonaparte
- mathattack 13y agoBeat me to the quote. But this is even worse for FC - they are pissing off a customer for $7 by accident, not on purpose.
- UVB-76 13y agoNope. They make $$$$ by having the option checked by default, and every now and then a customer fails to check their order before submitting it.
- frankydp 13y agoProbably not a Bonaparte quote. The below is an interesting history of how that quote got into the hacker consciousness. Mostly from the Jargon file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor
- samatman 13y agoI had never read that! Charming. The punchline is, it's actually Heinlein's razor. Which makes perfect sense. (yes the wiki refers to a Robert Hanlon of Scranton, PA. This is probably only amusing if you're from America and know that Scranton is the archetypal funny place to be from)
- derleth 13y ago> Scranton is the archetypal funny place to be from Up there with Walla Walla, Washington and Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
