hahahahaha!! You go Google!! - Off-topic

Rarely start threads but I had to start a second one today. This is too funny.
What Google is doing here is absolutely ****ing classic!!
I don't condone piracy but I also don't condone third parties being cost money in the dispute between copyright holders and copyright infringers.
Under the DMCA copyright holders are allowed to issue takedown requests for supposed infringements. Well instead of them taking on the actual sites that hold the offending materials or torrents, they have started sending takedown requests to search engines. Thus costing a third party money. Many search engines are considering starting to charge for requests. And rightly so.
Last week Google alone received over 700,000 requests.
A few weeks ago, Google started publishing stats for these requests.
Well now they have started publishing the actual requests. ROTFLMAO.
What this does is actually create a database of links to "pirated" material.
So copyright holders have their takedown requests published. Those requests contain links to the offending material. So they have accomplished NOTHING. Additionally, they now have to issue another takedown request to Google for the aforementioned original takedown request. Well that gets published and, boom, another link to pirated material is generated and published.
And so on, and so on, and so on.......
It is puuuuuurrrree genious/evil!!!

Now maybe companies will start taking on the actual offenders instead of third parties.

[UCCW] Thread of shame

A lot of us contribute to the uccw app by sharing what we create. Through this sharing we've seen some amazing and creative things be born. We share with everyone with the assumption the work shared is not exploited for profit by some person who just rebrands it with a different name, and sells it as their own. In most cases a courtesy email is not even given asking for permission to use the work. Understanding it is distributed freely by the creator, they still have creative rights to that skin if you decide to redistribute for sale.
That being said I've always been taught to do the right things growing up, like don't lie, don't steal and be generous when you're able. So... since some people find it hard to do so, I think it would be beneficial to maintain a thread of shame listing those users who operate outside the realm of honesty. Thefts who are caught stealing other people's skins/work without permission will be posted here and 'outed'.
Let's see if public shame can do what your sense of right & wrong could not.

Answer a Puzzle and ask One

Hi friends. As the title suggests its simple and NO GOOGLING for answers. Be sincere.
You can Google for asking puzzles.
My puzzle:
A Japanese ship was en route in the open sea. The Japanese captain went for a shower removing his diamond ring and Rolex watch on the table. When he returned, his valuables were missing.
Captain immediately called five suspected crew members and
asked each one where and what he was doing for the last 15 minutes.
The Filipino cook (in a heavy overcoat):
I was in fridge room getting meat for cooking.
The Indian Engineer (with a torch in hand):
I was working on generator engine.
The Sri Lankan seaman:
I was on the mast correcting the flag which was upside down.
The British Radio officer:
I was messaging to company that we are reaching next port in 72hrs.
The British navigation officer:
I was on night watch, so sleeping in my cabin.
The captain caught the liar.
So, who is the thief?

1. There is already a puzzle thread in OT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255833
2. You have already created one thread with similary title..
So this is duplicate of a duplicate thread. INCEPTION!
Ok... let me try.
A thread was created in OT... The creator of the thread logged out of his account. He later returned to discover there are two replies in his thread, which has been closed under (not so) mysterious circumstances. He immediately launched an investigation and decided to look into the two posts in great detail, lest he misses a clue.
The first post revealed the following:
1- His thread is a duplicate. 2- His thread is a duplicate of a duplicate. 3- He probably should've searched before posting.
Unrelentless, the aspiring detective moved on to the next post and found himself in a weird situation. It was as if an exterior eye was describing what was happening to him at that very moment. And then, it suddenly hit him...

Need some engagement party ideas?

Engagement party is less formal than the wedding party, but it’s still necessary and important for many engaged couples. They will invite many friends and schoolmates to share their happiness and delight. How do they plan their engagement parties? Do you know how to hold a successful and interesting engagement party? If you plan to throw your favorite couple an engagement party, there are several things you need to keep in mind. Here some tips may give you some practical help.

Work with the couple to build the guest list. Typically, all of the people who are invited to the engagement party are also invited to the wedding. Make the guest list accordingly, so that there are no surprises for anyone down the road.
Do special and creative engagement party invitation cards. If you want to make your engagement party special and memorable, you should have a special start. That is to say, engagement party invitation is very important as well. If you consider that making invitation card is very difficult and time-consuming, you can better design your invitation cards with a card maker. A lot of free card maker are booming nowadays, such as the Amoyshare photo collage that I have ever used before, choosing an appropriate one can help you complete this task.
Make a decision about gifts. Decide ahead of time whether or not guests should bring gifts to the party for the couple. To avoid messy situations, you should explicitly state “no gifts please” on the invitation or list where the couple is registered. Either way, guests will know how to handle the gift situation.
Keep decorations simple. Flowers are ideal for a table centerpiece. Something as simple as sun flowers would add to this sunny occasion, or set up a table with framed pictures of the couple at various stages of their relationship. I have read an article about more tips and ideas of engagement party. It’s really necessary and helpful for us to learn from others if we want to rock others in our engagement parties.
Seems you already have an existing thread on the same topic linked below. As such, this thread is closed. Please do not create another thread like this.
