This has happened before, i don't think we should be alarmed.
it seems to half open, just shows the title of the website in the webrowser. Weird.

"Can't connect to server". This happened on another computer I went on, so there is a problem here. DAMMIT!

DealExtreme must be in the process of upgrading their website.
Thet have changed their website to follow the https protocol.
This protocol is meant to be more secure by encrypting everything that is going to the website and everything from the website coming to you. It is supposed to reduce the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks.
Most websites follow the normal http protocol on their website and have some https pages when handling payment, credit card numbers etc. Basically confidential information.
More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https
Now I do not know why DealExtreme changed their whole website to be https, however not even their own links of their own website work properly. I click on something on the side, and the link is a http link. Change it to https and it works fine.
I assume that they will fix this issue pretty soon.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
