@icelight: I believe when the article says "lethal energy" here, it's talking about the gun zapping the user with electricity. A shock from that thing if it malfunctions could probably stop your heart.

@GreasyPig: I don't know, what about no expectation of privacy in a public place? It's kind of a confusing issue really.

@warezIbanez: Someone needs their sarcasm meter tuned :P

@Gary_7vn: Why do all that (laptop, accomplice, ect.) when you could just use a bluetooth camera and a smart phone? It wouldn't be hard to write an app (on Android at least) that starts a background process that would shut the phone down if the "stay awake" command isn't entered every X seconds. If your phone gets…

@Jennacide: I know! Most people write boring code to crack a locked file, this guy headbutts it into submission :P

@vrey_oneida: The sad thing is, there's a deleted scene that explains why he was able to hack the alien computer. He's sitting in the captured space craft playing with the frequency that he found early in the movie and realizes the craft does stuff, and from there makes the virus. Still not great, but they should have…

@Rolyatkcinmai: Obvious troll is obvious!

@gurfinki: "meant to say is that the number of FPS players on PC are very scarce when compared to the number of FPS console players."

@-MasterDex-: His comment is "hardly anyone plays." I don't see what sales numbers have to do with it. But when you have a quarter million people on Steam alone, that doesn't count as "hardly anyone." There's lots of PC gamers out there that play FPSs.

@skadoosh: It is an early concept, this picture was one of the teaser photos before H2 was released.

@Slinkytech: If you played Halo 2 you would have seen this, if you played Halo 3, this is the thing that speaks in your head occasionally, telling Cortana to submit and yada yada. It's name is Gravemind.

@skadoosh: That's Gravemind, the thing controlling all the flood from Halo 1,2, and 3. It's not from Halo: Reach.

@DingoJunior: "Why? If it's cheaper for them to make a single chip, then it would be stupid for them"

@DingoJunior: The first time the chip is unlocked by someone who didn't pay, whether it's legal or not, everyone who's paid a premium has the same exact product that someone else paid less for.

@DingoJunior: How exactly does it benefit the customer? By ripping off the people who pay a premium price for a product, and receive the same exact thing as the guy who paid less? You have a strange definition of "benefit"

@Felix26591: THANK YOU! If they want to sell different tiers of chips, then actually make different chips. It rips off everyone who pays for the fully unlocked version because the people who are paying for the "reduced" chip are getting the same exact product for less.

@DingoJunior: I did read your whole post. Software, and it's manufacturing techniques are radically different from hardware manufacturing. I don't know what backwards logic you are using that is telling you they are the same thing, but... wow.

@DingoJunior: "This is common practice in the software industry..."

@DingoJunior: If I already bought the processor, then I've already paid for it. I believe I have every right to unlock and use that hardware to it's full potential. It's not like stealing music, this is a physical product.

@DoubtedBeef: I don't know, but I would think eXplorer, they started out by offering a prize for space travel.
