@taniquetil: I'm not sure you know what market makers do.

@taniquetil: Well, investors would still make money because prices would still rise and fall based on actual company value over time. You'd just lose the intraday roller coaster ride that has nothing to do with stock value and tanks markets.

@taniquetil: Well, if they're making markets they may actually have an obligation to do so. At the very least they're collecting rebates and other insentives for adding liquidity.

@abates25: At least it doesn't prefer to be hand fed water from a human drinking glass like mine. I am my cat's bitch btw.

@taniquetil: AKA a liquid market...see the problem?

@taniquetil: It's fake liquidity. What I mean by that is they make the market as liquid as they want and disappear when they want. It it not a truly liquid market or you wouldn't have these 10% drops. The whole point of a liquid market is that someone is always on the other end to take your trade. It appears that way…

@bizzo98: I was just about to say, am I the only one who thought, "floods in china, whaaaa?"

This reminds me why I don't read the Times, thank you.

Obviously "Just For Men" beard dye is what wins world series games, not stupid necklaces, noobs.

@hawkeye18: umm, we got those in the north east usa. We call them Japanese Hornets. It looks like a humingbird buzzing by.

@bbrewer: I think, like every other corporation, they try to get away with as much as they can before they get caught, especially because the repercussions are likely to be a joke. You or I do this and we get jail time, they do it, maybe get a fine, or more likely they change legislation so that their actions are no…

maybe this'll get people to think of securing their wifi. Ever do any wardriving? It's amazing how many connections are open out there. You could destroy someones credit with free script-kiddie programs off the net you think it's gonna be hard for google to harvest whatever they want?

@CandyBacon: Dude, if he can't go to the military and blow something up whenever he wants I don't want to be president anymore.

Just as an update to those interested. I happen to know the GF of one of the guys in the band. The instruments were not stolen. This was a publicity stunt, a good one apparently.

@bozofish: If he was my dad I'd DDos his website too.

@Brownski: Don't worry, we've sent someone out to retrieve it.

@bainelaker: The only thing I can take away from this is that a lot of you don't like being associated with hipsters because this guy has said nothing to justify the hostility you're showing him.

I hope for his sake it doesn't get off the ground because it looks like it'd shake itself apart pretty quickly. Don't know if I'd trust those welds...

I didn't laugh until the one second delay explosion. Hilarious if intentional which I assume it was.

One thing about the ricochet idea. Notice the ice around the spinning bullet. It's an oblong crater and spray that (to me) clearly looks like what I would expect if the bullet was shot at an angle as they do in the video and not how it should look if it ricocheted and came back straight down.
