Easy email unsend cancel design ;)

Pretty easy to unsend an email when it's not actually been sent yet.. mail client just needs to implement a 2min delay, giving you plenty of time to go into your Sent folder and click Cancel on it!

Laptop power button press again to cancel shutdown?

We've all done it, you come back to your laptop and press the power button.. forgetting it was already on! So then it shutsdown, and there is no way to correct the mistake.

It would be pretty easy for Ubuntu to connect the button as a toggler, so if pressing again while in the shutdown runlevel, it toggles and goes back into multi-user and X login (level 5 as I recall)

Firefox fixfox bounties for scaled printing

Firefox has a couple of bugs I'd like to see fixed in the next release. I'm happy to put my money out there, so I'm offering bounties. Scaled

• Zoom a page, and set "Zoom text only". Looks great on page, but print preview and when printed out to PDF the text is the normal size. The fix is to update print preview (perhaps just use the normal browser window, rather than a separate popup?), and get the output to PDF also in the same zoomed format. Bug bounty: £150 (UK Pounds).

• Firefox ingores system settings like Gnome, locale environment variables LC_PAPER, and defaults to "US Letter" paper format. It should use LC_PAPER, see that en_GB is in Europe, and default to A4 (of cause user can change to another preference still!). Bug bounty: £100
  

I'm running Ubuntu which comes with Firefox 3.0.x.

Payments at my discretion, upon acceptance of proof that the work has been carried out and is in next Ubuntu release ;)
