Banged/Locked/Jailed Up Abroad (TV Show) - Off-topic

Anybody watch it? I love this show. Just started up a new season here in America. Just learned it came from Britain and is a world wide show.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banged_Up_Abroad
Really is world wide.
I've always wanted to travel the world and this show makes me want to keep my nose clean in another country. Especially in the 3rd world countries. Just a great show imo. You get to learn about other countries, while seeing some wild stories.

I also love this serie, in fact I have always been fascinated for everything related to prisons (though I´ve never been there, lol). My favourite film is "The Shawshank redemption" and my favourite serie is OZ. And about this serie it is very useful to show young people how they can get into a major problem if they try to make "easy money" that way. And believe me, prisons are not the same in a developed country than in a poor one (I come from one of these).

I can't but help feel that most of these of the people are idiots or at least didn't think before they did what they did. Even the people who went to other countries to bring back a suitcase filled with Levi's, did you not think that if it was that easy this guy would be doing it every week? Of course your luggage is lined with heroin. They don't want to get in trouble for it, so they send you to get it.
The ones I do feel sorry for are the ones backpacking through the country side and get kidnapped or locked up for being spies and such. Those people were just going on vacation and bam, you're in jail. Part of the reason I went backpacking across the South part of USA and not in Mexico or South America. I should have done it in Canada, but eh, maybe another day.

Saw some commercials for this. Seemed like a good show, whens it on? And what channel?

National Geographic aka NatGeo. Last weeks season premiere comes on again before the new episode. New episode at 10 pm eastern time. Last week was badass, reminds me of me if that was to happen to me. I really liked it.

The show has really changed since it first started. Used to they danced around the issue of torture and never actually said it. Just said "he hit me", then you see them come out of the room with one eye swollen shut, busted lip, missing teeth. Like they want to show how much the person got hit but can't say it because of relations or something behind the scenes is keeping them from editing in that they were tortured. Now, they just say it, and depict it in the show. Pretty real now.

GAME OF THRONES fans here?

My new favorite show, and no, haven't read the books yet, so please keep spoilers to what we've seen over 9 episodes, with the finale this Sunday.
Anyway, thought I'd start off with a bang. If you know who died in the last episode, witness the greatest fanboy rage display of all time and the coining of one or more new memes/catchprases.
Warning! Foul, racial language, and also IMO painfully funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owf6D2vfZqM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
XD
Who's looking forward to Sunday?
I usually watch the latest episode on Monday night, along with Treme. It's my second favourite night of the week after Friday!
Game of Thrones didn't really grab me at first but i'm certainly hooked now. I'm sure as good as it is that it loses a lot in translation from the books though.
Game of thrones +1
Hell yeah luv that show
Ok, I have downloaded almost every single episode, but I was too stuck at studying to watch it. After seeing all these reviews, I definitely have to watch.
And for the benefits of out-dated people like me, no spoilers please.

Great Series. HBO kills the networks. True Blood, Curb Your Enthusiasm............
By far my favorite show of all time. After the season finale tonight I will be picking up the books and hopefully finish them before the second season starts.
Noooooo. No spoilers here, but all I'ma say is, they do a good job of gainin' hate for the Lannisters. Grrr, go Stark!

Wow. What a finale. Can we time travel to 2012 Spring already please? I am tempted to say much more but for now I'll leave it at this: must. read. books. now.
I haven't been this amped for a new season since 24.
Best death of the season was definitely the golden crown.
My stepdad just bought me the 4-book paperback box set for a present. He's so cool. Now I'm racing people to be ready for book 5 which gets released in a few weeks. Damn, I hope it doesn't ruin watching the series..."you die, and you, and you.." ;-)
Love this show!! so sad the season just ended, cant believe we have to wait a year for season 2

Apple's most successful(and irritating) product: meet the iSmug

Hi all,
i have been using this forum for some months after I got my amazing android phone. I am happy there is finally competition for good phones that are not iphones. I do not like apple's way of doing business and definitely the smugness of most people who get an iphone and think their coolness has gone off charts.
You know what I mean? People who have a need to show off their iproducts in public? I am so happy i have an android. Android people are so much fun to talk to and cool to discuss wasy to improve their phone.
Apple's best product has been the ismug What do you think? do you know what i am talking about?
Message to the moderator: i hope this is the right forum(if not please move it)
that is so true! i personally appreciate the quality of apple products, however i believe that apple products are incredibly overpriced, and their biggest advantage is their biggest downfall: Apples iron grip on their software
Lemme tell you a short story.
I am on a trip to Athens the other day and,as everyone in a large city,I used the subway to go to my destination.Entering the train,I found a seat next to a guy who looked like being 20-25 years old.He didn't seem geeky at all in fact.I sat next to him,but then he did something he shouldn't have.He pulled an iPhone 4 out of his pocket!Oh sh!t.There was also a girl sitting right in front of us,in a seat looking towards us.She told him "Nice phone you have there"(She had an old Sony Ericsson btw).He found a chance to show off then.And then,after I had lost my temper,I pulled my Galaxy S 2 out of my pocket and started playing with it.He looks at it,his eyes go wider than usual and awe was obvious in his expression.The girl(a beauty in fact) turns to my side and says "Your phone is nicer than the iPhone".Then I started to show off.The games,the screen,the effects,everything was better.That iSmug next to me turned white and got off at the next stop.The girl and I had a...nice time after that btw.
And what's the moral of the story?Android ftw!
Tolis that is an amazing story.
i think the only way to strike back at the apple cult is to make fun of their smugness
ps hi from thessaloniki
ps 2 Galaxy S ii is great
Most of the people think iProducts are COOL. It has now become a factor of an individual's "coolness".
Then someone pulls out their android phone and they're like, "Is that samsung?", "Bleh".
I am bored of listening: you have a Samsung? It looks like an iclone...;
Haha, Tht was funny and intersting at the same time

What do you believe to be a good reason to get a tattoo?

A good reason? Okay. An evil villain has taken over the world and is destroying everything and killing everyone. An old tattooist does tattoos that give the person super powers. You get the tattoo and save humanity. Plus the tattoo is sick and you get tons of b***hes.

That was a really cr4p reason until the final sentence
Military pride is a legit reason. To this day, if I see an older man with a wrinkly Military based tattoo, he gets much respect.
Good reason? You're really drunk on a Saturday night, and it seems like a really good idea at the time.

That's behind every tat on me. It's gotta mean something and you've got to believe it will always mean something,
Good and bad are not quantifiable things. You can't measure goodness. There is no such thing as a "good" reason. There are only reasons. So anybody who has a reason has a "good" reason. It's not done for you to agree with it.
I don't see a good reason. When I see people with tattoos, I don't think of them in a good way. It just looks stupid. That's just me though.

My humble opinion...
There's no real answer. My first tattoo was a giant 8-bit pixelated Mega Man on my leg. I got it because when I was a kid, my pops lost his business in Boston and we were stuck moving down to Florida where my grandparents lived. We moved into their 2-bedroom "manufactured" home in the middle of a retirement community. My folks saw that my brother and I had no kids in the neighborhood to play with, so they got us an NES and a copy of Mega Man 2 for Christmas that year. I played that game for months on end, well past the point where my parents were obviously annoyed with the music in the game. For that first few months until my family got back on its collective feet, Mega Man was my best friend. Fast forward almost 20 years later, I decided I wanted to get a tattoo, and the Blue Bomber was my choice. I was actually a little afraid that when I went back to visit my mom, she was going to freak out about me getting inked. But instead, she immediately recognized it and even thought it was a great tattoo to get.
The moral of this story? The only reason that matters is the one you rationalize yourself. To most people, a Mega Man tattoo is a silly and nerdy thing to do. To me, it's a silly and nerdy thing to do that reminds me of how much my parents cared about my happiness as a child, no matter what. I'm happy with it, and I couldn't care less if the rest of the world doesn't see or know the reason for it. Every tattoo I have means something to me, and I'm the only one who needs to know it.
I personally cannot think of a reason I'd get one. Other than the military pride that was mentioned because of the whole brotherhood the army gives you. I just don't see myself getting one, but I've heard quite a good amount of reasons for others.

I think there is no good reason simply because it's hard to remove a tattoo if you don't like this tattoo any more.

Twenty years on and i hate my tattoos now. Given the choice i would still have tattoos in the same places, but they would be different tattoos. Therein lies the problem though. Your tastes change from year to year as you yourself change, but tattoos are permanent.
I agree with Card83 and a few others that have said, it's should mean something to you, not just something that is cool at the time like a barb wire arm band because you will come to hate it.

Well ive always said i would only have my kids names on me.
And when my son was born I had his name tattooed onto my chest. And if i have any more kids then i will be putting there names on my chest aswell.
But apart from that i will not be having any other tattoo on me as anything else wont mean anything to me apart from "looking nice"
A friend of mine got the name of his best friend tattooed inside his wrist when said best friend took his own life two years ago. As a way to remember, and a reminder. They were very close.
And there are always more practical reasons for tattoos. You just don't always consider them. There are a lot of soldiers who get their data tattooed on various bodyparts, just in case. IED's really don't care if you want to keep you bodyparts attached, and thus the tattoos makes IDing easier.
Personally I don't have any. I'm not on good terms with needles.

Getting to Know You - Share a Pic of Yourself!

Since there will be a lot of new faces in the N5 section, and of course a lot of love and hate affairs will be taking place in the next year I find that when we put a face to a name there seems to be more friendly communication. I have done this in another device section on XDA and it turned out to be really successful and extremely fun as well.
If you guys are interested and the admin are okay with it then let's get it started and start posting up some pics of yourself, family etc.
If everyone prefers to be incognito here then we can just close this thread.....
I am 37, married with one kid and live in the US, North Carolina. Grew up in NY though.
My smart phone journey started years back with a Windows Pocket PC phone PPC-6600 if anyone remembers that. Started out at Sprintusers.com and then moved to PPCGEEKS.com for all my needs. I used to be scared of XDA. It was the place where the big boys hung out. Man, it was intimidating. Then I slowly built up the courage to check out XDA for myself and slowly worked my way in here.
Now we have so many different levels of users and while some might think that is a bad thing I think it's great. We all have to start somewhere and seeing people transition from noobs with not a clue to the ones helping others and some guys even taking on development themselves, it is a great community we have here!

I'm looking forward to my first Nexus (after a Galaxy Note 2), to quicker access to the latest Android goodies, and to not have to remove unnecessary bloatware.

Once you go Nexus, you never go back.
The great thing about owning a Nexus you won't care about what the other guys are doing you will just care about the next Nexus.

He was 3 in August so hopefully he will enjoy himself. He loves all the Disney characters.

It's hard for a kid to not enjoy Disney World. As a parent, I got a lot of joy out of seeing my boy's reaction and excitement to everything.

Coming from am N4 I am mostly looking forward to the 5" 1080p screen. A 4.7" screen is nice if there weren't soft keys on the screen so a 5" should be just the right amount of real estate with the soft keys.
I know you can remove them and use other options but I like my keys usable without any other actions.
wow and i assumed almost every xda user is some teenage kid hyped up on androids
just shows how much one shouldn't stereotype.

Yeah, the reason I wanted to have this thread here is for everyone to see the wide range of people there are on XDA from teenage kids to parents to grandparents.
It will also help when communicating in the other threads as you might think twice on how you react to people when they ask certain things. They are not just a punk teen hiding behind a nickname...They are an old guy, acting like a punk teen hiding behind a nickname. Lol

Good stuff bro. It is easy to get sucked into that life. Glad to hear things are good now. It's much harder to get out then to get in. Stay strong! Cool Android tat. Amazing how phones bring so many different types of people together.
