O'Reilly Books and Odd Password Requirements
It's not that widely known but O'Reilly offer a user group discount - it's 35% off the cover price and free delivery so it's often cheaper than you can get the books new from anywhere else.

A few days ago I wanted to order a couple of books and because there are no conferences this month (and so no lovely Josette) I signed up online. The process itself was quick, easy and painless but one step stuck out in my mind - "Password cannot contain special characters or spaces". To me this is a weird limitation and one that seems to harken back to the days of old.
