Better yet, when you go to modify your per-site config (right click -> edit site preferences) you can add wildcards to the site ... for example, I could turn on cookies for *.ycombinator.com

Wow - just saw this on the front page: http://chiefpieguy.tumblr.com/post/36198092182/why-recruiter... Still happy to hear about any amazing features such a piece of recruiter-killing software might have.

If Opera went payware again I would happily pay for a license. Of course I would feel they were then obliged to listen to my crazy ideas about browser 'improvements'. Opera is the only piece of non-OSS I can't live without.

Hmmm - not really. Microsoft in an old vision demo had just what you are talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v... The whole video is really good if you have the time to watch it.

I had $300 shaved off of a $1100 trip. Some of the posters really must read the criteria first and one, who I ended up going with, went way above and beyond in his helpfulness for the default bounty ($30?). The only thing I'm worried about

Linus needs his RMS and vice versa. Don't frame this as 'empty ideas' vs 'noble industry'. Both are necessary. There are many reasons, none of which need to be justified to the public, as to why a person may turn down an opportunity. His ar
