  1. I might know a guy who has helium... on Price Shocks May Be Coming For Helium Supply · · Score: 0

    Although the answer to that all depends on what you have to offer. Incidentally it pays to be a clown, a mad mad clown that is. MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA! *honkahonka!*

  2. Re:a sense of purpose? on Information On Philips' "Coffee" Machine? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Please disregard my previous post as I thought it had said Gadgets: and not Ask /. I should probably sleep hence hallucinations are now inevitable.

  3. a sense of purpose? on Information On Philips' "Coffee" Machine? · · Score: -1, Troll

    What is the purpose of this article, other than freely advertising the Phillips brand? I don't know how this is news, it's more of a forum discussion if anything. :/

  4. Re:It's all too hard on 22 Million SSL Certificates In Use Are Invalid · · Score: 1

    I agree, I still can't figure out how to install the SSL certificate. For something that costs about $500/yr. they sure suck with their customer service or online tutorial. Thankfully my server came with SSL at "no cost".

  5. Re:Hey... As long as it is for such a worthy cause on Ranking Soccer Players By Following the Bouncing Ball · · Score: 1, Informative

    You must mean tracing your balls and palpating the region. It's the most effective way to detect testicular cancer and get early treatment. Perhaps this algorithm could socially map our manhood's movements to see if they are ever get heavier on either side. FOR SCIENCE (and health)!

  6. Re:seriously? on Supreme Court Says Gov't Employee Texts Not Private · · Score: 0

    I've seen companies go as far as do some kind of remote viewing on users desktops, browse files, histories etc... Sometimes even live internet histories which are stored onto a server. I really don't care, if it's not your property you shouldn't be thinking about privacy unless the company you work for turns around and uses your credit card info or other personal information in a fraudulent manner. People should be thankful they get loaner phones or laptops, not all companies do that and requires you to bring your own and often at your own expense (so long as it's in the boundaries of legal).

  7. I have an idea... on Gulf Oil Spill Disaster — Spawn of the Living Dead · · Score: 0

    Throw a ping-pong ball in the ocean and tell me what happens.

  9. Re:For serious? on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 0

    Even the person that hit her is unlikely to be responsible, simply because it's illegal to walk on or across highways (at least in the US that is), and to dodge someone running across a highway unexpectedly would be very hard. In many cases, dodging a person might kill you and your family that's inside the car. Who would you prefer surviving? The crazy person who seems to want to get run over or your family? But knowing our court system, it will be the driver's fault regardless.

    Google does have a disclaimer (somewhere I've seen it before) that not all directions are perfect, and it's necessary to review the possible route before going through with it due to possible inaccuracies. I mean, swim across the ocean to get to London? :D

    The fact that she survived ensures weakness in the human genome.

    If purple can be a flavor, why can't it smell? Well now it can!

    I wonder if the transaction will take place through an SSL secure connection.

  12. A child sees porn on the internet, ISP is blamed on Google's Streetview Privacy Snafu Prompts Lawsuit · · Score: 0

    What happens when a child sees porn on the internet? Mothers are outraged that the ISP isn't doing a good enough job protecting their child from the bad, bad internet. But in reality, it's their job to research and understand the risk of having internet around a child. It's also the parent's responsibility to be a guardian. If you take the same concept and apply it here, you may have people who don't secure their internet, but they should ask / do research of what a wireless router entails. If they don't feel comfortable doing it themselves, they can hire someone or their 12 year-old relative to secure it for them. If the information is publicly available, the internet will provide. If you're going to complain, you can always turn off your service. It's as simple as that.

  17. Re:Sounds like the next Summer blockbuster on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    oh god, i lol'd hard at your comment for some reason... Anyway, I don't care about pirates as much as I do with GameStop. They need to stop with their whole "used games are better than new ones" motto because developers aren't seeing a dime from their sales. Truth be told, I think buying used games is the same as pirating it, and at the same time it should be outlawed. (millions of gamestop fans gathers their pitchforks and torches and comes around to kill me)

  18. Re:Trademark is a tricky thing on Games Workshop Sues Warhammer Online Fansite · · Score: 1

    Agreed, if someone were to make a fansite about one of the xbox 360 games we're working on (Pinchy Attack) I would be thrilled! Of course, if they were to run their own private server that would be an entirely different story. If I were Stephen Colbert, I'd wag my finger at Games Workshop and put them on my "on notice" list. If you keep attacking your fans, you won't have any fans left to play your games. Encourage fansites like every other company does.

  19. I like my games to last as long as possible on Do Gamers Want Simpler Games? · · Score: 1

    I like my games to last as long as possible such as my favorite RPGs. It always makes me sad when I know I'm almost done the game and I always want to play more but developers tend to not release DLC expansions. I beat every game that I own unless it was a horrible, horrible game (think shadow the hedgehog). I'll go through every level from beginning to end, corner to corner and explore the world thoroughly completing every quest that I possibly can without using strategy guides or cheat codes. If a game will last me less than 60hrs, then I won't dish out the full price of a game for it but wait until the price is more or less $20 or less. I won't ever buy used games (gotta support my fav publishers somehow), and am happy to spend 100+hrs on a single RPG like Star Ocean for example. It's games like those that make me wish that the gameplay lasted 500+hrs and then some! In my entire life of gaming, I have only seen one person cheat to get from one place to the next and hate long games, and that person has anxiety issues. I doubt that only 5% of gamers complete games and point fingers at developers wanting to make cheaper games and sell it for the same price.
