[off topic] is the internet getting strict - HTC Wildfire S

I havent downloaded movies music not so long ago. yesterday I wanted to download 5 music albums. what I got is 5 songs for searching google in 1 hour. before I just type in get results and working links. all file upload providers now deletes it right away. some just gave up sharing files, you just can download your own upload. Whats happening. Is this stupid SOPA might be already running in google servers and the internet in anonymous mode?

I noticed this already in the last month or two, havent been downloading much at all, I never really used torrents as I never really gelled with them, I used Rapidshare for years, but now that all the file hosters are going tits up I need something new, so I am gonna try out Usenet this evening and see if I like it, my friends swear by it....

Ive seen that usenet before but never tried it. Im gonna test it to when Im on pc. thanks for sharing, I hope its free.

beemp3 is good.

Ill test that one too. thanks

Hi, it is still easy to get whatever you want really esaily.
P2P is obvious winner : torrents/magnets, slsk...
DDL : Pirate App, Blogspot. Search-fu skills... Russian sites too (http://zaycev.net/search.html?query_search= for instance...)
Usenet : paying. C'mon, don't do that. They're the same bastards as MU and RS... Making money on artists' back.
I'm a Black/Death metal head, and I easily manage to find whatever I want, so if you're listening to more popular music, you shouldn't have any problem
I hope this helps

what I only understand in that site is silicon stuff. I dont need it since I dont have boobs.
edit also says something about a chip, put a motor in it then you have vibra boobs.

Wow, people still use Soulseek?
Theres a name I aint heard in eons! I used to use it for dj music many moons ago when I was on dial up....
To be honest, I only want usenet for movies/tv shows.... I payed for Rapidshare for 2 years and the service was great, so I have no issue paying a fee again if I have hassle free downloading.... (I live in rural ireland, my connection is 4mbs!)
I still support and buy ALL my music as im a dj who plays radio every week and gigs regularly enough aswell, so I need receipts for that stuff....
I didnt get around to setting up newsgroups last night due to not being arsed connecting my laptop to my tv, next time gadget, next time.....

@m1ndh4x8r : Yeah, russian stuff you know... Being French I had troubles with it too, but it's not that hard to manage. Try PirateApp though, you should be fulfilled : https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pirate-App/125065507548174?sk=info
@Ko_Ka : It sure is an old stuff and I don't use it much nowadays, but it still works, and it's still good to find underground content
The thing about paying is not that I don't want to, but for illegaly downloading something, no, I won't pay yet another mafia. And I sure buy a fair share of the music I download when I can and attend to as much gigs as I can. This way I make sure the artists get the maximum possible amount out of my money. Not some filthy over-rich mafia dude like MU's creator.

Haven't you guys seen what has been going on?

A fellow countryman has made this, get it now.
kinda pointless imho
on grps it would take a year to get something big down
and it would cost a big pile of cash
a) It wouldnt if you have something faster, like EDGE or even UMTS/EVDO. Even on GRPS its not that bad for downloading.
b) It wouldnt cost a lot of cash if you have good unlimited dataplan.
well suppose so but what would make that much sense to get directly to ones pda?
of cause one could dl a perfectly legal movie to watch but that movie would run alot better if converted to the resolution of the devices and take up much less space too
not to mention that with turrents others upload from you too
which would mean that having a few people recieving from you
would damage bandwidth alot
since even HSDPA is optimized for download not upload
heck even many normal pc connections have rather poor uploads compared to download and will cut down on download if the uploads begin to reach the connections maximum
HSDPA is no worse the ordinary ADSL in terms of up/down unbalance. And many people leech regardless of their true upload abilities anyway, but with bittorrent you dont get as much download if you dont upload much.
BTW I never had problems watching unconverted videos on my phone. Maybe because I stick mostly to XScale-based devices, so I dont need to waste time on converting more then actually watching
Sometimes its more handy to just put download on phone then leave the whole noisy and powerhungry PC box all night on
Did you guys really RFT article!?
It says "You can start, pause, stop and monitor your downloads, and it also offers some additional info about every Torrent and a couple of settings." and that's it.
Where the hell it says dl to your phone!? AFAIK, it just can't even add a new torrent using that mui.
LOL
honestly I didnt read it
I thought Rudegar have read it and so replied directly to his remark about uselessness of pocket-base torrent client
cool! )))

lol, we all have diffrent needs...if we all had the same needs, we would need a pda with 4x5 Gb cpu, 2 TB Ram, and 10000 TB storage on our phones to be able to use everything that is out there
I just wanted to point out that its there if anyone would want it
Hi,
the site is inactive now, but i would still like to try this app.
Can anyone share it?
I am more interested in being able to remotely add a new torrent to my utorrent client at home using my kaiser wm6.1
thanks

REQ: Tipulator

Hi has anyone seen the Iphone ad running in the UK at the moment which has a handy app on it called the tipulator.
This is a simple calculator in which you type in the total amount of your restaurant bill then how much in percentage how much you want to tip then choose how many people you want to split the bill between and it tells you what each person has to pay.
I'm sure this would be pretty simple to build on the WM platform - has anyone seen anything like this?
Ye I second that. Would be a good idea.
I just use me brain. Time I got the HD app to do it, I'd have figured it out in my head!!
Just wondering if you even searched on Google? Because in less than 2 minutes i found these.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-tips-calculator-v1-0.html
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-tip-calculator-and-bill-splitter-1-0.html
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-simple-tip-calculator-v1-0.html
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-tip-pro-v1-0.html
Or just the normal calculator...
Hmmm sounds like another excuse for iPhone owners to get their phone out and bore people stupid with how wonderful they think its is... the resturant as well as the pub now...
I'll stick to me head.... probably good but how difficault is 10%?

Same here.
​
wow - you need a special application to calculate total bill x 1.1 / people? What's wrong with the calculator?
I knew iPhone users can't think for themselves but we're supposed to be the smart ones.

Some people are obviously very lazy...
there is an iphone app for absolutely everything , and most of it is pointless, like the spirit level which is actually just the gsensor calibrate screen on the touch hd , there may be apps but good quality apps is what matters so let them have there mass load of rubbish, once we get a few 3d games we'll be laughin
We have freekin excel in our pockets you can calculate almost anything!
F Me! You are a miserable bunch of b*stards
I think its a pretty good idea. There are plenty of people out there who do not know how to reprogram a WM phone. Sory I'll rephrase - not SAD enough to know how to reprogram a WM phone!
So a neat little app like the tipulator is probably quite appealing.
"Oh we can't have that *geeky chortle chortle* why can't you write a few formulae in MS pocket excel" - Jeez, give me strength!
If I went out for a meal with a group of people and someone used excel to calculate the split, I'd think they were a complete tosser, and tell them so.
But then most of you aren't old enough to go into a pub let alone go out for a meal and not have your parents pay for it.
So I'll "third" the proposal.
stop making waves!
of course i am not expecting from someone that is preaching us about laziness to bother and make a search so i did and found in less than 15 seconds this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499829&highlight=tip+calculator
see, i used the search button and made the great effort of typing 2 words: tip calculator. well, i'll do anything for a little peace and order in this forum

Firstly if your asking for help then ask for it don't assault the people who could be programming this for you!
Secondly excel does exactly what you want it to do, if your too stupid to write a simple percentage calculation then your too thick to own a WM phone!
Thirdly I'm a comfortable programmer, I do it as part of my job, but I do have a life, I'm surrounded by good, intelligible friends, I enjoy power kiting and surfing, I probably have a much better life than you!
Fourthly if you think someone's a tosser for using a WM application (Excel) to calculate the tip then you MUST think they would be a tosser for using an identical application that someone's put on their device but with pretty pictures so rambling buttock scrapings like yourselve can use it without confusion!
Finally learn to use the search facillity it's really very simple, I also hear Google do these searches aswell!
So don't sign up to a developer forum calling all the developers misserable Bas*ards!
Don't retalliate with a barrage of insults when people try to help you!
And don't post without searching!
Oh yeh and I'm 22 more than old enough to drink in this country!
Just realised hurst didn't start this, sorry to the thread starter and hurst you're a gimp!
@joey
don't feed the troll! an undeserved effort to try and explain something to "his kind".
he doesn't know to use google and u are asking him to use excel??!! imagine asking him to make the calculation using his head....lol! another rude a..s hole!
did you guys miss my post in the previous page? I posted a bunch of tip programs.
I dont think anyone really wants a "tipulator" cos its useless. More useful would be the bill splitting thing that they showed on the iphone advert. I know its another thing from the iphone n stuff....but that is actually gd unlike half the apps from the apple store.
Has anyone got anything like that already? if yes then pls share with us!

anyone else see this?

Well now that I read the whole ad, more power to him. All those cabs In one place for someone who dosnt want or have time to spend hours searching through forums for the mods and apps, plus the DIY videos and hes availible for tech support, Im actually impressed. This was a great money making idea! I should do one for the Q.

I have to agree, there's a lot of people out there, even here , that would prefer things to be handed to them and told in baby steps how to use them, he's smart for coming up with the money making skeem like this, and I'm sure plenty of people will eat it with a spoon, instead of doing the work themselves.
yes it is a good idea, but i kind of took it like a slap to the face. not to me, but for the developers of these programs. i mean they do this for free and ask for donations if you like the program, there not forcing you to pay for it although it does help them out. this guy is making you pay for them, i just don't think it's right... however i can't deny that this is a convent way to get all these nice programs.
Well I, personally, think "what a rip"! This guy is profiting off of the hard work of others. Granted, he has taken the time to compile all of the needed CAB's, and is there for tech support. (I don't envy him, I bet he is getting thousands of phone calls or emails a day). So yes, he is working hard as well I am sure. But I think he should donate at least some of those profits to the hard working developers that have made this possible for him to do in the first place.
Who is to say that he is not donating a portion of said profits, but I seriously doubt it. All in all, though, it IS an eye pleasing and feature packed ROM.
Ya this is a few cab file themes mixed together installed. lol Looks like it maybe part of a iphone S621 theme file, thats full tho, looks not bad, i got much better Background theme files if i Had that theme! lol

WP7 Opportunity

Hello,
My name is Trevor and I own and built www.taxiroute.co.uk which is a taxi fare calculator for the UK.
The website on its own generates £12m of enquiries a year. I deperately need a Windows Phone 7 app writing.
I was wondering if anyone might be interested in having a chat about joining taxiroute to help write this app?
Knowledge of Bing Maps and integration to webservices would be advantageous.
Drop me a line if you might be interested.
Thanks
Trev
http://www.freelancer.com/
I know all about freelance.com and im sure they will appreciate the backlink.
but im not looking for a freelancer as such.
I would like to team up with someone, and i appreciate this is a long shot, who does wp7 and hopefully might think taxiroute is a good idea and would like to come aboard.
The website is doing £11m of enquiries a year 18 months in. People seem to love it. But they always beat me with the stick "where's the mobile version?" And, "how many people do you think are looking for a taxi in front of their laptop?"
I've done all the back end. the api is ready:
http://www.taxiroute.co.uk/DesktopModules/IWeb/webservice.asmx
I wrote an old wm 6.5 version and it worked great. wm6.5 is obsolete really. but a good test.
Ive managed to get a wp7 demo together but im just mashing other peoples code together withought really understanding what it does completely.
So, anyone out there messing around with wp7 that might like to take a chance?
its bing mapping, silverlight, xaml, webservices and all the other things you probably know more about than me...lol
my main competitor just won the king of bling maps and is featurd in the US tv campaign.
Any fools out there with a couple of hours spare?
Trev
To be honest it looks like you're trying to get some developer to come do some work for you for free, and then you'll turn around and make some money off it.
to that all i can say is "no" really.
in my above post i hoped to prove that this is not a flash in the pan and that i had made a lot of effort before i considered wasting other peoples time.
this is an honest offer.
i dont know what else to say really.
trev
i sound like a bloody advert for wp7. ive said really, 4 times, 5 including this one..
Well, you wouldn't be the first person posting here who was like that You're actually the third guy in the last two weeks to come here looking for a WP7 programmer.
It's still not really clear what you're looking for. You're not building an open source program, you're not looking for a freelancer apparently, are you looking to hire someone, or enter a profit-sharing agreement or something?
I send you a PM

Well the routing is trying to take me down a road thats been closed off for years and years. So not much good if it cannot give me an alternate route.
You need to get this fixed. Just as well its a free download.

Hi, firstly thanks for taking the time to have a look at the app and giving me some feedback!
I must admit, and im not trying to avoid responsibility here, but the routing is all done by Bing Maps. The chances of me being able to get them to update their maps is zilch
Could I ask a favour?
Would you try the route that you mention in the websites below and let me know what they come back with?
http://www.bing.com/maps/
and
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
It would be interesting to see if firstly the web version of Bing also has the same problem with the route and whether Google maps says anything different.
Your help would be greatly appreciated

Yes Bing maps are sending me down the wrong route, but Google is giving me the correct routing. Try yourself (Marchburn Drive to Aberdeen Airport.)

Random question..

My buddy was telling me about how there is a site that allows people to hire others, and they give them a "free place to live, and food" in exchange for their manual labor on their farm, or whatever they own. Does anyone know what he is talking about?
Honestly, no clue. Why don't you ask your buddy about it?
Well..he drinks a bit, ha. And i don't know if it's real or not, so i figured i would ask the masses. He said he found it on the internet, but forgets it now..
At that point I'd personally just dismiss it, but just me.
What he's describing is feudalism.
Eh, i usually would. But i want to move around for the next couple of years, and this would be perfect.
Ranchers do this in Texas and Wyoming quite a bit. Room and board for labor on the ranch.
It's HARD work and LONG hours and not for alot of people but it's a job and a place to stay.

What he was talking about was a sort of farm like thing, where people hire you in, let you live at their house, you do work, and get paid some. But you wouldn't get paid that much because you are getting free food and board.
Lol seems like someone read up on indentured servants and thought maybe this will catch on again.
