The Ultimate Debate, Discussion and Fight Thread For Offtopic Posts!

After seeing Killing Piracy thread, theserpent gave an idea to create this thread, where we debate about all off-topic posts and no need to disturb mods. So mods, this is just for off-topic debates and please take it lightly.

Let's brag about Piracy and blah,blah here.

So Whats the first topic?

Well , What came first ?

The Egg or The Hen ?

piracy is private? no one cares where you got your junk from
so where is the fight? is global warming really happening, or are they doing that just to sell UV protected contact lenses?

@RCuber
Well debate is over...

^ Yeah global warming has started
Usually december used to be quite cool in mangalore, but this time..the temperatures broke many records it crossed 35 degress.

To reduce piracy some one should start a installment based payment system to buy software and games. im talking about softwares which costs more like editing softwares and stuff..

Mookbarked for future participation.

Global warming may be an hoax, or not. But god damn it, every year the average temps rise.

Agreed.

But then CC is here, which most of us don't have.

Isn't Office365 built on similar lines, i.e. per month usage charges?

In the future if Internet speeds are respectable, maybe we could have something like a per hour usage charge for software on the cloud. No need to buy expensive licenses for something you'll only use once in a blue moon.

Flattr - Social microdonations

it's a button, similar to google +1 and fb like. At the start of the month, you set aside a budget for the content creates you wanna sponsor. At the end of the month, it distributes this budget to all the providers you agreed to sponsor.

But that cost is ridiculous, even with a healthy salary I could'n afford it. installment based software, pay a potion of the original money every month or quarterly

Man where I work it is ffing 40-41 degrees and 95% and above humidity !

@Kl@w-24 : Ah.. you edited that after I posted the reply

, agreed.

So are you getting slow speeds? from the past few days?Yes?

I was cursing airtel for this

RCuber said:

Yeah, I usually get a better idea as soon as I hit the Submit button to post my original idea.

Now as per piracy
EA has overdone it? Why do they need to keep an always online DRM, At the end of the day I just feel EA will wind up very soon presently EA Is alive only because of BF & FIFA Series

^^ I used to play BF3 MP while keeping Origin in offline mode.. I think only Sim City had that problem.

Elaborating on the per-hour usage concept -

The concept of paying for s/w usage on a per-hour basis could very well revitalize the anti-piracy movement.
You want to use Photoshop? Fine, sign-up, add funds to your account and get your hands dirty.
As soon as you run out of funds in your account, the service saves your work, emails it to you and asks whether you want to renew your access.
You could very well refuse to do so and take your business elsewhere; you still have the original files.
Now you're not only using legit s/w, you're also free from the humongous cost of licensing such s/w and you have no need to cross over to the dark side.

Of course, you could just switch to freeware/open-source but I reckon if given the opportunity to use commercial s/w that is polished and user-friendly, people would be willing to pay for as much as they use.

autodesk and adobe software are for industrial applications, think there are much cheaper paid alternatives that perform all these operations for regular users
adobe is excessively featured, the pdfs allow video conferencing that's just overboard

Completely Agree.

Of course, but if I'm willing to spend and the aforementioned s/w (Photoshop in this case) is available for, say Rs.50/hour (for example), I have estimated that my work would be completed in about 20 hours using the traditional flow/workspace of Photoshop. That would cost me Rs.1000. And if the lesser-known piece of s/w is available for much less than a full-fledged Photoshop license, say Rs.2499, but would require me to re-learn the flow and would also increase completion time by about 25%, most people would prefer to use Photoshop and be done with it.

Buying the cheaper license could be beneficial in the long run but if you only use it occasionally , it still goes to waste.

Agreed. Most of the softwares i downloaded are sitting idle in HDD. I remove those s/w once in every 3 months. Reason my 1TB of space is still not filled up. But given an option like that for photoshop, i am gald to use that.

I bought some s/w from Ashampoo

facepalm

when there was an offer around 2008, and till today i have never used it more than 1 time.

This is how we fail. So Klaw's suggestion will change this.

why no one fighting or debating in fight thread

No one like Killing Piracy guy is here. Here we all agreeing with other person views.

If you want to fight,

Are you married atleast once??

I guess not, because you will start feeling the pain of the married ones only if you marry >= 1. LOL

rakesh_ic said:

Amen. BTW Do you play games at your home? Do you wife let you play?

if it is only BB i would have but ios?? no official number or markets revealed
WP outsells iOS in 7 and BlackBerry OS in 26 markets now - GSMArena.com news

Maybe in market like Bihar, outskirts of Thailand, tribal places in pakistan i guess.

I think its pure marketing, for people who thinks this news "Wow.... Awesome.... Really hats off" etc will buy one

Even i have plan to own Windows device, but the lower-end like 520/620. Higher side is always for Android. (Hands are itching to get XS:L)

BTW MS will never beat the crap out of iOS because of it's believers.... It's like Justin Bieber, whold word hates it but some worship him.

Oi.. this is no offtopic thread

furious_gamer said:

of course at home. but yeah i have a seperate room for my pc

Anybody thinks Windows Phone will take the market from BB? I for one, feel so.

R

furious_gamer said:

The seemless UI is kool.. but it has lot of catchup to do..

I know people felt the same about IOS vs Droids before. But Droids had a solid user base (read open source lovers) who made it what it is now.

^^ I know BB have solid user base, but with BB 10 and exuberant prices of Z10, BB survival is clueless. But on other hand, Nokia Lumia has covered all the bases, from entry level to high end. I tried Windows phone and feel it has lot of potential and lot need to change. But it is much better than BB OS 10 IMO.

I don't get the point of this thread. Why not create a new thread for an on-topic discussion instead of creating "one thread to rule them all"?

Anyway, I'll continue the discussion over here. Why is that chaitanya guy now banned? He seriously didn't seem like a troll :/. He was arguing with a genuine reason regardless of the discussion, in a thread which he created in the Fight club section. Isn't that exactly what happened there? However, I would acclaim the trolling part to the other users with stupid offtopic replies like it was some sort of game.

It's fight club for all non-sense posts like we did in Killing piracy thread. It is like Offtopic thread for debates....

I wish this "ban-for-being-a-troll" is applicable in League Of Legends too..

If you wanna see real trolls with 0 IQ specific to the game or even jerks who have nothing but talk shi!t to do are all there in LOL and you can come over.

I've seen enough of those, trust me. I know the difference between troll and genuine users.

You can also download rented or bought movies for offline viewing. How to do that:

Find the video you want to download under either the Movies or TV Shows section of the Google Play Movies & TV app.
Tap the circular gray pushpin icon toward the bottom-right corner of the video, and your download will begin automatically.
Note: Purchased movies and TV shows can be downloaded on five devices at a time. Movie rentals can only be downloaded to one device at a time, and when downloaded, streaming of the movie rental will be disabled on your computer and any other devices. Removing the download of the movie rental will re-enable it for streaming or for downloading onto additional devices.

Still audio quality is questionable 5.1???

Itunes? I don;t support apple

BTW old hindi movie rates are really cheap 50 bucks

but there is no rent button in my tablet

^ some movies can be both bought and rented
some movies can be only rented or bought.

they ll be fixing it i guess

Yaa but many movies are missing....

^itunes with movies available in india. Apple users reply please. If not google is way forward and can fix everything slowly

the way forward is nintendo, sony, google, apple and amazon opening up borders
google has the upper hand actually, apple users still use google services, android users dont use too many apple services, if any

Apple need to loosen their grip and expand their horizon.

So topic:Why is India a dumping ground?(

With regard to stand alone vanila os(IOS And Nexus series) only apple releases its products in India at least after 2 months, but not Google
Presently from the past 2 weeks, after sundar pichai became the head of android, we saw play books,movies and nexus 7

The problem with Apple is, you need their hardware to make full use of their software and vice versa.

The problem with apple is "Middlemen"

Problem with Google is they think India is not a potential market. They think mid range phones sells a lot
Reason is this

Android 2.3.6 tops the chart with 39.1% followed by Android 4.0.4 with 17.9% and Android 2.2.1. Android 4.1.1 is present on fourth spot.

^^ Well, scenario changed after some indian guy come into top-level management. Soon we will see devices in India immediately after it's international launch.

^ hope so bro. i want moto phone to be the next nexus. Since they are not gonna sell in india next nexus ll be launched immediately

Last time I read the Android division is lead by an IITian. So I guess it's good news for us.

I will give a topic.

Android Vs Blackberry Vs iOS Vs Windows

--------------------------------------------------------------------Fight for your phones-------------------------------------------------------

R

on an alternate note, isnt it good not to be the guinea pigs like the Europeans and get a much more polished droids than the first version release??

Eg:: Galaxy series from Samsung always released theri s/w upgrade in Europe and then slowly come to Asia.. By the time almost all the issues are resolved and it would be somewhere close to a good patch

--------------------------------------------------------------------Fight for your phones-------------------------------------------------------

Want a fight : Android FTW!!!

Reason : Lot to choose for all budget(ofc Windows is there but no dev support sucks for me), customization, Custom ROM(unlike iOS or any other OS), blah blah...

--------------------------------------------------------------------Fight for your phones-------------------------------------------------------

I really think that windows phone will catch up with iOS (but with given time

) The part in which the android outruns is that the Open nature of Android operating system.

For eg: Android have many looks with different manufactures

Where others cannot be customised the way android can be

Is BlackBerry 10 OS open source or closed one BTW??

^ i think its closed

android for its custom firmwares

iOS is rubbish. I've said a lot of times.

One more thing, you can only read 2-3~ days of call logs. lol.
