Minecraft community, anyone? - Off-topic

At dix.awesomegames.me, I've started a towny minecraft server. There's no whitelist or anything, just plugins that drive the play to be centralized around creating communities and interaction with other players. There is an economy system and whatnot. For right now it's in a bit of a beta-test mode, I'm not really sure what will work, but I want to open it up to the public so I can tweak it to fully working condition.
I also host a mumble server on the same box, dix.awesomegames.me
[discalimer] I'm not really advertising anything commercial, I just want to develop a largish community of mature people to play some good ol' minecraft with [/disclaimer]
This server is in no way associated with any kind of commercial entity, I host it under my own roof and it runs fairly well.
My buddy and I started awesomegames as a hobby. We both have an interest in server administration. We run on linux boxes, controlled mostly via ssh on our android devices ;D. His box and mine our hosted under our own respective roofs, and there is zero commercial ties. In fact, we lose money on it by paying for the domain name. He runs a pure anarchy vanilla server at awesomegames.me, if you're hardcore.
We've got a rudimentary forum of our own that is not very active and filled with spambots at awesomegames.me.
I've left this post pretty long, hopefully people who read it in it's entirety are genuinely interested and will come join us! I go by the in game name of lennox, or beast8856. I'll be playing alongside anyone who hops on. It's been a while since I've done some mining and crafting. Let's have some fun!

DO NOT USE ISOHUNT or TORRENTS2HELL

Hey Everyone!
I Just poped in to let all the torrent users out here know not to use ISOHUNT as they have negotiated a deal with the MPAA and RIAA to submit all of their server data, including all members info and ipaddress's. It is also said that Torrents2Hell will be secretly doing the same both while staying in full operation. ---BEWARE!
Happy Downloading All!
P.S To All Forum Mods... This is not a spam I am just sending out a warning to fellow downloaders. More information can be found about this on Digg but i will not post a link due to forum rules.
Forum Poster V2
Yeah, it's true! You can use my site instead: myBittorrent.com! It's one of the few legitimate sites!
It's foolish to use ANY public torrent trackers/sites... If you don't know of a private one to join, it would be a better idea not to bother if you want to be safe.
This is spam and a deliberate attempt by a disgruntled ex member of our site (DERZ) to slander and defame our name. There is absolutely no truth to the matter regarding Torrents2Hell.com. I challenge the poster to bring forward even the slightest of proof regarding these ridiculous claims.
The op's post was made using a forum bot and has been spread far and wide over the internet in many many forums. I request for the moderators of this forum remove the thread as it tarnishes our name for absolutely no reason. Mods have my email so please feel free to email me if you have any further questions. Members wanting to add this member to there PG list can pm me at Torrents2Hell for there Ip address. We are not the first torrent site to be attacked by this twerp so all webmasters should be wary of this sort of activity.
Thankyou,
CaptnRon.

Bram Cohen always said that he never understood why public torrents were used to distibute pirated warez as all IPs are logged. If you use public torrents, you shouldn't be surprised if you get a knock on the door. It might not happen, but if and when it does, man, we'll all be right behind you I'm sure.
Remember, winners don't use warez.

lol good to know Im glad I stopped using them 3-4 weeks ago!
is this spam or fact?
I smell spam b/c this post has been made at various other boards.
Screw them, without the key my file server is a terrabyte of pure random numbers.
I am looking forward to buying a drive for my laptop with transparent hardware based encryption, it would make no difference who knock on the door.
I hate the RIAA/MPAA and their goons. Whenever I torrent, no mater what it is I am flooded with "safenet" etc trying to slow me down. They do not care if the file has no copyright of theirs they just do it to everyone on that tracker. I am currently getting a Chinese tv series that was free to air and has nothing to do with hollywood but they still bombard me.
Maybe we should write some software to target their connections and get 10 million users to distribute an attack on them the way they do to us.
hah, that would be pretty funny actually..if we spammed the hell out of them. You know something like that would make the news. Either way, torrentspy is now shut down to US customers ...
Torrentspy Acts to Protect Privacy
Sorry, but because you are located in the USA you cannot use the search features of the Torrentspy.com website.Torrentspy's decision to stop accepting US visitors was NOT compelled by any Court but rather an uncertain legal climate in the US regarding user privacy and an apparent tension between US and European Union privacy laws.

After being a mod on Torrents2hell i can confirm that they DO sell your info, but i do not know about isohunt, but you don't have to join that site to get the torrents anyway.
Ya know what, I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but if you check the IP of the OP (Torrwarn4) and Numbnutss I'm willing to bet they are the same.....

[POLL] - How much would you ask for giving up internet for the rest of your life?

That´s the question, what´s the value of internet in your life?. Remember that in exchange of the money amount that you ask for, you completely give up to the whole internet, not only the www. No more forums (like XDA), no more Skype, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, online games, email, and all the new stuff that may appear in the next years.

It'd have to be a lot, it's like giving up friends that you only talk to on the Internet
However, I chose the last one because with that much you could re invent the Internet, and call it someth else so it's not the Internet but your allowed on it

Sure thing. With enough money, I can text everyone however I want. I can chill out with [email protected]+C#ES all the time IRL, and hire people to go on the internet for me.

No no no, not allowed to hire people to go on the internet for you. And all the [email protected]#ES that will chill out with you will probably give you a sexual disease, and you won´t have internet to see what happens.
Dude, you're making the rules up. I'm the King of OT. I make the rules. And when I say jump, you say what colour.
Now back to the question at hand, if I can make anything I wish come true, shooting stars will turn to airplanes.
Besides, how did you know all them [email protected]+C#35 around me gots STDs? That'll be quite an achievement for these jailbait virgins.
Actually, the question (at least in my case) should be reversed.
What would be a fair price that I would have to pay to be weaned off the Internet. My Internet addiction as an adult has become far worse that what my television addiction was as a child.
The Internet is a very useful tool, but I need to ration it a bit more sparingly.

I am also an addicted to internet, and when I feel that I have been too much time in front of the PC I force myself to take a walk or just some outdoor activity (of course with my SGS in my hand to check Twitter or Tapatalk)

Maybe this isn't off topic, but as I am noticing more and more websites either getting taken down, or taking themselves down out of fear of being taken down(megaupload vs filesonic), I wonder if there is a safe place for the developers in these forums to host their content? I mean, this is pre-SOPA..
Yes, quite a bit of what we share on XDA is knowledge, so I know the site won't be totally effected.. but with websites that I'm sure some devs have been using going offline, I have a feeling this is going to have an effect in a bigger way.
Thoughts? Opinions? Please no flaming.. I believe this is a legit concern. Just tonight I tried to find 3 different legitimate downloads that were all hosted on sites that no longer work- I see 404 errors in many of our futures..
Well man, I woke up today earlier to download some stuffs from filesonic but what the hell! Its been disabled sharing!
The most worrisome part of this is that the US is extending it's imperial grasp into nations outside the bounds of the domestic legislation that is looking to empower these draconian actions. It's not as though the management of megaupload were terrorists, perpetrators of genocide or repeat offenders of violent crimes. And yet, they were extradited. The greatest threat to Americans and, others in the Western world are US corporations and elected officials. Osama was WAY less dangerous than these people.
Filesonic has serious problem now... i am very displeased.
This is getting ridiculous, a bunch of sites including uploaded.to and filesonic have limited functionality after the megaupload scare Honestly wth

We'll probably have to end up torrenting our ROMs and junk if worst come to worst.
Its a joke what SOPA is going to impose on the internet and the file sharing people
But I know that if its "my own" content then I think that I will be hosting it on my own server .... stuff them

I love it when the Mafiaa shoot themselves in the foot:

Quickest way to kill a fire is to starve it of Oxygen. If everybody refused to pay a red cent for legitimate content until sensible compromises are reached, the industry would soon capitulate.

Torrents, nothing illegal about torrents
They know alotta people use file sharing for legit reasons aswell. Piracy is a issue for them but its copout to gain more control over people & profits. Just because u dl something doesnt mean it was an actual lose. Its been plenty threads online where people have said the album/movie isnt even worth the bandwidth. With the net ur not forced to listen or watch the same ol **** ova & ova. They dont want more successful indepenant artist in movies nor music like tyler perry,strange music,etc creating competion.
Lol, so in Poland they are signing ACTA (similar to US's SOPA) today, and tis is the website of the Central Anticorruption Bureau. lol http://biuro-gov.cba.pl/

Help me change the future of education!

Let me preface all of this by saying:
I'm looking for input and help on my project, I'd love to answer any clarifying questions anyone might have. I'm trying to put my idea out there beyond the academic world/my social groups/peers/family members/etc. I've been getting a lot of positive feedback and emotional support but not much hands on help and mentoring. I'm sort of stuck in terms of upward movement without proper funding so, in addition to applying for competitions and grants, this is another way I'm trying to spread my project.

Simply put, I was one of those kids that was known in my class for disliking school. I never had trouble getting good grades, I had plenty of friends, I participated in lacrosse, played percussion in the band, and I was very involved in ceramics. However, when it came down to it, nothing I was learning academically was captivating. It seemed like I was piling on one distraction after another to get away from the fact that I had this burning desire to be passionate about what I was learning that wasn't being met. It wasn't until my junior year at West Chester University that I was introduced to a dialog style classroom. It was so much more engaging and interesting to hear and discuss other people's perspectives on the topic, using their own experiences to frame how they saw today's problems.
In class education and online education is not engaging enough. Students rarely have the opportunity to share and have a dialog about their perspectives on the topic. There is a huge disconnect between what is being taught and what students experience on a daily basis and it has caused me to see that our education system lacks a comprehensive way of connecting individual perceptions to the logical education framework.
Allowing students to interact in a structured dialog platform that leads the conversation into an area of sharing perspectives and developing a personal connection to the topic will allow for more interested and engaged students, critical/creative thinking and a passion for life long education. It also allows a safe space to raise concerns or issues the students are curious about. I want to create an optionally anonymous online structured dialog platform that is to be used as a supplement to traditional methods of teaching. I want to provide students a safe space and allow them the opportunity to share their experiences that are relevant to the topic and help each other broaden their world view. I want to inspire passion in education.
I believe if I can introduce this method to schools that are in need, they'll have more passionate kids graduating and going to universities. Unfortunately, I also understand that these same teachers are also pressed for time, must use their own funds to buy classroom supplies, and have to teach to the test in order to receive proper funding.
The dialog platform aims to influence students to have a dialog outside of the classroom, online. That's why I want to target universities first; I hope to inspire passion early on in students so they aren't wasting too much money trying to figure things out, especially with the insane increase in tuition costs. I want to show them that anything you choose can be an advantage depending on how you use it. I want to introduce passion back into the classroom and allow students to see that we all have limitless potential.
After an initial MVP is set up and tested in a classroom setting, I'd like to market my proof of concept to MOOC's to increase their 7-15% completion rate. Eventually I'd like to see a pro bono service provided for high schools in need to set up their dialog platform. I want students to understand that just because the options aren't presented right in front of you, it doesn't mean there aren't tons available to you; it just takes commitment, creativity, passion, time, and practice.
I'd love to answer any questions, receive feedback, your vote if you like my idea Place Vote Here (you can vote 3 times daily, top 3 projects gets a chance to win $3,000) and if you know anyone that may be interested in helping/joining me in trying to create this platform, please send them my way.
If you do in fact like my idea, it would mean the world to me if you'd spread it along your social and professional networks. The prize money isn't as important as the exposure I'm trying to gain for my project. I'm really looking for dedicated and talented individuals who want to be part of my project.

So sorry to know about your issue, and thanks for sharing your story that sure will help other Devs.
Good luck.
Thank you for your kind words.
I hope the review process will get better one day.
In the meantime, if anyone has any further questions I will be happy to answer.
Have you considered switching to iOS store ?
That might be an option, it won't be easy at this stage of my life, but it's an option.
At the time when I started, I was not smart enough to consider this and I did the mistake to put all my eggs in one basket.
Now it's tough, with more than a decade of experience on Android.
Android development is what put the food on the table, and I have a mortgage to pay and a family to support.

Frankly, Google has been doing since 2011.
Better Keyboard disappeared?
Is it just me or has better keyboard disappeared off the market? I had to reflash generic UK and root/go back up to 2.3.3, but when I restored with Titanium Backup, I got the unlocker for Better Keyboard but not the app itself. Now I'm stuck in...
forum.xda-developers.com
IIRC The reason was even pettier than yours.
Bye Bye Better Keyboard 8, Open Home, and anything by Better Android
So, I was looking in the market for better keyboard 8 and couldn't find it. From there, I did a google search and came across their website with this as their top news. here is the link, and I will quote it as well. Better Android Apps Hello everyone, we have to say good-bye this time. Here’s...
www.droidforums.net
It was definitely a red flag for me.
In 2011 the paid apps are what made revenue for the Android Market. The Ad penetration was very low and users were limited.
Another example is ofc YongZh
So Why Were the Yongzh’s Emulators Pulled?
There was much sadness when Android developer, yongzh, had his Market account deleted and line of popular game emulators pulled from the market. Many people were troubled by this news, seeing it as…
androidcommunity.com
Google made a lot of money & goodwill via emulators in the initial days and then they booted out yonghz out .
Now the developers don't have any idea who paid for the apps and who didn't. And basically, the consumers are screwed and developers are harassed.
Also, Google changes its Developer license agreement 3-4 times a year. At any moment any apps can be booted out.
Make no mistake iOS can do the same. But at the very least you can speak to a human who can sort out your affairs. And that 99$ a year is totally worth it.
iOS experience is far more fluid then say 2015 (Been developing for both android and iOS)
Long term it's really wise to move away from Android to say Web or Server Administration.
