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

  <div style="margin:20px 10px 32px 0px;padding:0;background-color:#eeeeee;border-bottom:#cccccc 1px solid; width:220px; height:300px; background:url(images/print-int-2013.png) no-repeat; float:left;"><input name="cds_term_value" type="radio" id="radio" value="1"  style="margin-top:138px;margin-left:10px;" /></div>
  <div style="margin:20px 10px 32px 0px;padding:0;background-color:#eeeeee;border-bottom:#cccccc 1px solid; width:220px; height:300px; background:url(images/digital-int-2013-v2.png) no-repeat; float:left;"><input name="cds_term_value" type="radio" id="radio" value="2" CHECKED style="margin-top:138px;margin-left:10px;" /></div>
  <div style="margin:20px 10px 32px 0px;padding:0;background-color:#eeeeee;border-bottom:#cccccc 1px solid; width:220px; height:300px; background:url(images/bundle-int-2013.png) no-repeat; float:left;"><input name="cds_term_value" type="radio" id="radio" value="3"  style="margin-top:138px;margin-left:10px;" checked="" /></div>

The 'div' that you had checked earliers has an empty 'CHECKED' attribute, while the third one has the 'checked=""' that firefox apparently picks up.

Agree. 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

Probably not a Bonaparte quote. The below is an interesting history of how that quote got into the hacker consciousness. Mostly from the Jargon file.

I 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)

> Scranton is the archetypal funny place to be from

Up there with Walla Walla, Washington and Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Beat me to the quote. But this is even worse for FC - they are pissing off a customer for $7 by accident, not on purpose.

Nope. They make $$$$ by having the option checked by default, and every now and then a customer fails to check their order before submitting it.

I 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.
