Even if so, what would change about it if you were watching it? If the patch goes boom, does it matter if you were watching the process?
Yes, because the little warning pops up asking if you want to postpone restart.
I run into similar situations whenever I restart my browser. All of the YouTube tabs I had open from before start playing simultaneously (at any given time I often have some tabs with videos paused, ready for me to watch later). It's quite distracting and takes some effort to find and stop them all. I think a good solution for both of our problems would be to not load any of the Flash content in a particular tab if t…

Hello fellow tab addict! I must have about 30-40 tabs I restore every day out of laziness and fear of bookmarking and never reading again. Someone posted to HN an extension to help with this but I forget what it's called. Also Firefox has a nice solution to your problem in that it only loads the tabs once you click on them.
It's called OneTab ( http://www.one-tab.com/ )

Why O(log n)? Is there a binary search involved somewhere (for example)? All you have got to do to find out how many people voted for it is to look at the vote count and this seems like an O(1) operation doesn't it?
The number n has log(n)/log(10) digits so it technically take log(n) time to read it.
The biggest issue I have with Chrome restoring tabs is that it completely hogs my computer and internet connection while requesting, downloading and rendering all the pages. To solve it, I simply turn off wi-fi when restarting Chrome, so that all the tabs reopen, but are not reloaded. The URLs are restored, and I can reload them exactly when I want to.

It's 2013, and hibernation is broken in Ubuntu! :(
Works for me on my seven year old Thinkpad.
Additionally, it is disabled by policykit in releases past 12.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-...
So yeah, Hibernate is broken in Ubuntu in 2013, and your downvote doesn't change that
An important comment on the bug from a Chromium employee [0] Hacker News crowd, let's please stop the "me too" party here, and please file separate bugs for separate issues (even if they're similar). Keeping the signal-to-noise ratio sane on this one raises the chances that it gets addressed :) So you can help by only commenting if you have technical comments on how to fix the problem in Chrome. It'd be a shame if we…
You can always tell if something is garbage on here by looking at the average length of the comments. Almost every single comment on this link is an inane one-liner that adds nothing to any meaningful discussion. And lo and behold, it's the same sort of shitty discussion as on the bug report itself. Compare this with the comments on the 21 Nested Callbacks link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5447287

It doesn't work for me on my year-old thinkpad, or on my desktop, or on my server, and it is broken on two other computers I know of. Hibernation issues in Ubuntu aren't exactly an uncommon problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hibernate Additionally, it is disabled by policykit in releases past 12.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-...

I am using 12.04.1, but I made a mistake, in that I confused hibernate with suspend. Suspend works for me; I've never tried hibernate. The link you provide mentions only hibernate in the title but seems to be talking about suspend as well. Strange, since suspend works for me and I didn't do anything to enable it.
I don't dispute that suspend and/or hibernate is broken on many machines using some recent versions of Ubuntu. But it still "works for me": just another datapoint.
