Nope. I guess.
I just tried the link to see if the site worked or not.
No idea what the site is...

Did you try different browser? What browser you tried? (I tried on Chrome) EDIT oh, based on the screencap, you tried Chrome, right?
EDIT have the same issue with IE (no idea which version).
I tried it Chrome, IE, FireFox, my phone's browser, and android's default browser.
 
I've been trying to use my cell phone carrier's prepaid website to add more money to my account but I can't get past this random error screen. I've tried it on my phone, computer and tablet but no dice. I can't seem to not get the error.



The website address is prepaidselfserve.koodomobile.com, could someone check to see if it's just my ISP having issues or if it's just the website?

I get the same screen. Guess the issue is on the server side then, especially since the error text says something to that effect.

Then perhaps it isn't somehow working for some ISPs.
Or the site is fucked up.

For the record, i'm in Finland, with Finnish ISP. Your profile indicates you're in Canada, right?

Really odd.

Yeah I messaged customer service and they basically told me that it was working fine on their side. I need to add money to my account within the week or I'll lose my cell service. So annoying. :(

The final thing i can think of is to reset your router/modem. Just make sure that doesn't cause you to lose any important custom settings or such.
Or perhaps rebooting the device is enough?

EDIT before you do it, you might want to ask tech-gaf... EDIT computer help thread, something like that.

Confronting them with the fact that you asked a couple of people from across the world to try it with same results might be an option.

I already did both of those suggestions. Resetting the router/modem did nothing, and no one responded to my post in the tech-gaf thread.

Yeah I'll email them again. I mean, their website is actively not letting me give them money. It'd be stupid to ignore the situation.

Well, then all i can suggest is to get a hammer and start breaking stuff, vent your frustration (if you feel any, if not, just hold the hammer and imagine breaking stuff with it).

EDIT yeah, do what Tenrius said. If that doesn't work, go back to the hammer part.
 
Stupid Steam question.

What's the difference between your Steam account name and Steam profile name?

Account name = Name you login with

Profile name = What other people see your name as on Steam and in games like TF2

EDIT: I may have beaten you, but you were far more descriptive =]
 
Stupid Steam question.

What's the difference between your Steam account name and Steam profile name?

Your Steam account name is good only for logging into your account, so it's supposed to be private. Your Steam profile name is the name displayed in your community profile or in games etc. There's also Steam ID, which is basically a custom link to your community profile. You pick it yourself and it doesn't have to match either of those names (but they can match if you so choose and if it's not taken, here is mine for example: http://steamcommunity.com/id/keldorn/).

EDIT: Beaten, destroyed, defeated.
 
If I import a ps3 system from japan, can i update the system software/firmware using the North American firmware update and have it change the OS language over to English? How'd do I go about getting a Japanese system to display everything in English?
 
Hey guys, what's the site where you can see a Google search trend over time? My friend is arguing with me that there isn't a bacon meme/bandwagon; clearly, there is.

Help?
 
Why isnt there a mobile site for apple.com?

This is conjecture, but... one of the big selling points of the original iPhone was that it delivered 'the full web', that is to say, not dumbed-down mobile versions of sites.
My guess is that they want it to show off Safari's full-featuredness.
 
I'm currently at Uni and using a classroom computer, where I have to log in using my student credentials and then log in again when launching Firefox.

My question is, is my internet history tied to my account, or can someone else who jumps on this computer, but then log in using their credentials, see my history?

I noticed my gaf credentials were pre-populated from when I logged in last week (even tho I selected not to remember passwords) and I'm wondering if I'm going to have to clear net history every time (which will be a pain).

Thx GAF!

I guess it's part of Apple for Apple's philosophy.

Apple's own site works beautifully on modern iOS devices and modern Mac's. All of the web animation effects are all nice & smooth and the layout is perfect on these devices.

I don't think Apple are the slightest bit concerned in getting their site to look great on other mobile devices made by other manufacturers.
 
Does anyone know what this is called and where I might be able to order more? I'm in the US.

Anyone know if i can start a business partnership with a U.S Citizen while i have my employment authorization card and my social security number? or do i need to be a citizen to start a business?
 
My SO mentioned that I could maybe be slightly dyslexic because I keep spelling things wrong even though I know how to spell them in my head. I often get letters mixed up in words and also add E to the end of words, even when I am typing. Do these things sound like dyslexia, or am I just shit at spelling lol

To me, it sounds like you're just writing too fast, not paying enough attention.
A bit like my brother, who speaks faster than he thinks and thus stutters at times. EDIT that came out wrong. Don't mean he's slow thinker, he just talks too fast.
 
Pretty recently on GAF a poster posted an image of a metal musician. The image showed how the guy gained a ton of muscle and looks like a completely different guy. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to find the name of the band he's in.

I got an email from "voice-noreply@google.com" and it says its a voicemail, but it showed up in my hotmail account which is not linked to my gmail account. It contained this message.

"Action released for driver's license by the Department of Motor Vehicles that you are currently over paying for your auto insurance to utilize this free service and I just your current insurance rates or for more information. Press one now, press 3, to be removed from this list. "

Is this just spam? I find it weird that its an actual google email.

It's spam. You can fake the sender ID.
 
Has anyone ever had someone's ass near their face/hand and felt the warmth emanating from it? It's like specifically their asses that emit this heat; I've never noticed it just from being near them.
 
I'm looking to convert some DVD files into AVI files. Here's the catch - I'd like to only take segments of those DVDs and convert them to AVI, leaving the rest untouched.

Is there any software that will help me do this, without me having to install half a billion programs?

Handbrake, probably. I've used it to convert a chapter of a DVD so I could make some .gifs in Photoshop. I'm not entirely sure if you can select a time frame or just a whole chapter to convert, though.

Just checked it out, does exactly what I need it to. Awesome, thanks!
 
So apparently I'm in charge of getting pizzas for a meeting on Tuesday. I need probably 20, and price matters more than quality. I thought Dominos had some $7.99 large 2 topping carryout thing going on from Mon-Thur but I can't find anything on the website. Does anyone know what would likely be the most cost effective solution for prepared pizza in the northeastern US?
 
How do I get rid of a podcast from my iTunes podcasts feeds? I can unsubscribe but it stays in there.

EDIT: Never mind. Figured it out. I need more coffee.
 
In Chrome, after I leave my tabs open and unattended to for a long time and click back on them, they appear blank for a few seconds before reappearing. Why does this happen? It's really annoying, is there any way to prevent this?
