  1. Guys, I don't think he is coming back.
  2. Samsung is Mainstream though, a large majority of Android users have Samsung phones, and they are always of the Galaxy name badge.
  3. To me the only reason to get a iPhone, is because it has good resale value if you keep it in good shape.
  4. I am not brand loyal, I don't think me or anyone else here has used enough phones for a good amount of time to really form a good judgement. Of course most of you are going to say Samsung, because they hold a huge ass market share. But I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Reverb (Poor mans version of the Galaxy), I have used ZTE (Android), Huawei (Android), HTC (Windows, but not Phone 7), and Kyocera (Dumb flip phone, and bar phone) in the past. Other than the limited features I really enjoyed my old Windows phone the most.
  5. Yeah I plan I getting a set of these babies for my car soon with my tax return.
  6. i doubt it was ever open to be honest, considering we haven't heard from the OP at all. Looks like they just posted then bailed. Whether it was for shits and giggles or not, I don't know.
  7. I still play the 2d version of runescape. I like old school too, but I play on my Nexus so I can only play that on the 2d version.
  8. Probably a much more enjoyable book to read, and won't give you brain damage like that other one. http://www.amazon.com/Fifty-Thousand-Shades-Of-Grey-Ashen/dp/1479215430/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391706808&sr=8-1&keywords=50000+shades+of+gray
  9. Jail is different from Prison. Usually Jails are just used to hold drunks, and people who misbehave overnight. Barely more than a detention, except now you are just locked behind bars.
  10. It isn't really that bad. You have to watch it with the mindset that it isn't top gear, just another American car show, but this car show is significantly better than any other trash car programs that are spewed out.
  11. Jail would do nothing. No different then a few hours in detention.
  12. I did not know that. Interesting.
  13. I think in the near future should have a some streams where we all watch random episodes of Top Gear, with a pony episode in between.
  14. I think the whole "You are no better than them if you attack back" is a load a shit. You don't win wars without retaliation. Put this is perspective. Japan back before the US got into World War 2, bombed one of our military ports "Pearl Harbor" killing 2402 Americans, and injuring over 1000 more. So are you saying it was wrong for us to retaliate? Instead we should have just never traded with them again, massive trading tariffs, told them what they did was bad and not to do it again? No they would have kept on attacking us. You don't solve anything without violent retaliation, granted that did eventually come to dropping two nukes on them killing thousands of innocents, but it got them to back down, and we saved many of our own by not resorting to invading their mainland, and they harbor no resentment from what we did to them. So who cares if we were no better, they attacked first, so they suffered the consequences, the problems were solved.
  15. Yup, still a good show, just no where near as good as the original. Which is mostly down to the hosts I think, UK they have a good chemistry between the hosts, and even though most of it is all scripted you barely notice it unless you are looking for it, while the US version, you can clearly see everything is scripted out and there is hardly any chemistry going on between the hosts Also they do not really do car reviews, or proper star in a reasonably priced car, but I think that is mainly down to the crap run time they have because they have to cut like 20 minutes out for damn commercials. (Seriously, fuck you cable/sat TV) Haven't watched the Australian version yet.
  16. I am going to be streaming the new episode in a little while for a friend. You are all more than welcome to join. http://www.livestream.com/torqueeffect
  17. But would we be here if he wasn't a brony? I don't think we would.
  18. Thank you, finally some actual proof. My heart goes out to him and his family. With how people are in this day and age, there is always going to be skepticism. If I had the extra money to donate, I would. But I do kinda agree with some of the people saying, why this kid should he be treated anymore differently than the thousands of other kids in need? "Oh he likes what I like, so he deserves the money and support more?" It brings me onto another thing (I am not trying to compare this to the Morones) This fandom has way too many people begging for money for trivial things, like EQD posted the other day about a guy too cheap to pay his own dental bills, and just because he is a popular brony singer, so he takes advantage of that. Also I remember a while back there was another with the exact same story. Then I see allot of people's DA. "Oh my laptop broke, donate so I can get a new one." "Oh my tablet broke..." "Oh I am getting kicked out for not paying my rent..." I see it time and time again. At least some have the decency to ask for more commissions, or lower the prices on their commissions to help bring in more. Then at least they are doing something to earn money, not just stick out their hands.
  19. Still not buying it until I see a real news agency report on it.
  20. You guys do realize that the story behind why he did this to himself had changed right? Now they are saying it had nothing to do with bullying, or MLP, but that it was because of a fight he had with his brother. I am not buying it, as soon as you hear people start changing their stories, it is a telltale sign they are lying. I think the whole brony community is being scammed, especially since something about a kid trying to commit suicide would have made the news somewhere, especially if the VERY first thing the kids parents did was go to the internet, to completely ignore going to any news agency is puzzling, But yeah nothing but brony related websites even mention it. No legitimate news agencies have. I call bs guys. If you guys want to throw money willy nilly at this, be my guests. But I have a feeling most of the damage has been done already, but hey, maybe it was real, maybe some douche used charity for profit and made off with over $10k of this fandoms donations, and is laughing all the way to the bank.
  21. Which is just a GUI for Wine.
  22. Don't give me the bloated excuse when Ubuntu to me feels just as bloated as Windows. Sure others distros are not, but they are stripped down to there basic necessities. Resources are not a problem in this day and age, even 16GBs is overkill even for Windows, and doesn't cost that much. I installed Ubuntu on a computer with less than a Gig of RAM, and a Pentium D, it was atrocious in performance. Let me guess. Wine?
  23. The day there is just as much support for Linux as Windows, sure I will jump ship. But I don't see the point now, because why should I use an OS with an inferior selection of software? That is also why I don't use a Mac, but I would still use a Mac if it had more software support that Windows, but it doesn't.
  24. Not to sound like an jerk. But what proof is there? Other than Brony, and Furry websites, this hasn't been reported on AT ALL in any legitimate news site. (EQD doesn't count, they don't have actual reporters that go out and confirm these stories) A 11 year old attempting suicide would definitely make at least the afternoon local news somewhere, but I come up with nothing on a google search. Everything just leads to Brony related websites and blogs. I don't see any concrete information here. Also from what I am hearing is that there was no bullying involved, neither was MLP, it was just the kids brother that caused him to do this. That just makes me suspicious because now it is changing stories, and usually when people change their stories, they tend to be lieing. If it is all true, then I whole heatedly feel for the kid, but I honestly think someone is scamming the fandom here. Big time, and since it is a charity for a young kid, nobody has the balls to question it.
