Hey guys, I'm doing an assignment for class and need a poll done on the following question. Just let me know who you would save, if you want to list why go ahead.
While working as a firefighter you and another firefighter go into a burning building to rescue a baby, you get seperated from your fellow firefighter and come*across a baby. Your fellow firefighter ends up running out of air and you now can only help the baby or your fellow firefighter. Who do you help and why?
Thanks for helping.

Hello, old thread but I want to answer. I'm workin as a volunteer firefighter. I'd say that this is very difficult moral question, that has been on my mind too
I'd go to help my fellow firefighter, because I think that in principle it is bad to lose rescuers - so in the end, who will then be rescuing people if rescuers die in their duty? That's why I'd rescue my fellow firefighter.
I'd rescue my colleague. In a heartbeat.
As innocent as a baby is, your fellow firefighter is relying you you just as much as you on him/her. You have a duty to watch each other's backs. That's the reason you can keep doing the job, because you keep each other alive. In these cases it's a matter of who is the most valuable. And whether society's moral compass likes it or not, that's the man or woman whose life revolves around saving other people's lives.
I'd save the baby. The reason behind the entrance is to save lives. You know the risks of the job when you start.

Hi everyone, I wanted to start this to give support and have some help from around the World. One of my good friends was driving the other night from work to home and was involved in a wreck. The situation is that he goes to school in the morning to 12pm in the afternoon, then has to be at work from 4 to 12am at night. He was driving like normal but as person in this state he was very tired. And fell asleep at the wheel not knowing it he had crashed into construction along the highway. The wreck was pretty severe and the car was not identifiable because of the wreck, Police had to ask what car it was. He is a very good kid, and is only 18 I believe he deserves more years in Life, and deserves a good experience in Life.
I Feel like it would be very nice for anyone that could help with just a simple prayer. If those who are not religious or don't believe in God, at least show a little support and be kind.
I thank everyone who participates and hope to God that he can live and survive this.
Thank You All.

I don't believe in God - there is just too much in this world for that - but my thoughts are with your friend and his family and friends.
Hi!
I have to confess, that I'm not a religious guy. But I hope that your friend will be back for good soon and will be able to have a normal life!
Things like this can happen to anyone at anytime.
ALL THE BEST FOR HIM!
Well im kind of religious but at the same time im not i believe theres a heaven and hell and GOD & DEVIL. i have faith but i dont believe in churches there are too many versions of everything so i dont go to church but i started this thread tooday but it happened to him on June 2, 2012. But today i went to the hospital and found out he is brain dead and there donating his organs. its just not fair that he was only 18, had so much in life to look foward too.
Thanks again guys.
Very sad story, I will keep his family and friends in mind.
@ XxLostSoulxX
Thanks for letting us know. My thoughts are with his family at this time, and I hope that something good can come out of their loss in other lives saved by the donation of his organs.
May God help him and give strength to his family and friends, that including you for your support and loyalty. May Also fill all of you with wisdom and serenity for your prayers and soft heart for those who are in need.
I hope that your friend can find heal and calm, all in God's Hands.
Okay before you're going to read this, this might be a bit of a strange topic for XDA but I need everybody's help or sharing and/or contributing. If you don't like my project, please move to another thread and don't blame me. Thank you very much for your time and/or help! You're doing us a great favor!

Hello everybody,
From my own experience I know that teenagers suffering from cancer are most of the time a forgotten group. There are not much (psychological and fun) activities for them to do, to deal/cope with the cancer they have. They don't get the chance to express their emotions in their own way. They don't get the chance to just forget that they're sick, and enjoy the things that they can do. It's so important that they can do this and have the opportunity to do this.
Read my story/experience about how I felt when I had cancer (testis carcinoma with metastases on lungs and liver). I was a teenager at that time and there was no single activity for me to do. I was just alone in my hospital room, trying to fight and to deal with the cancer. There was no time for me to forget the pain and heavy fight. But I'm going to chance that!
What I'm going to do is to build a music room for teenagers in my hospital (for the cancer department), to let them enjoy music and let them do whatever they want. So that they can forget for a moment that they're sick. And the most important thing is that I want to make people aware of this problem. They need to see this forgotten group! But it costs money that I don't have and can't get a job for (consequentes of the treatment I had).
If you have some spare time please take a look at the special page I've made to raise money:
http://www.indiegogo.com/kidsmakemusic
Please help me out with this project, even a dollar will help a lot!
Kind regards and a lots of love from us!
Martijn
ps. If you don't like this project please don't blame me and let this pass by! But if you do like this and don't have a spare dollar please share it with all your friends and family and let them take a look at it. I'm not forcing anyone to give a little donation, it's your own choice. And I respect your opinion. And if you need more information about this project please contact me!
Hi everyone!
Now I have bin designing a lot of phones as concepts and with that i keep learning more and more. Now i get a lot of mails about people asking me to join them in there bisnuss and design for them. Now I had this before and that was all a social test which cost me a lot of time.. But now! It's finally time to start something with a group of people.
Ryan of Andromeda came to me asking me if I could be there designer and well that's what I have bin doing now and I have bin working hard on creation a great design but also one that is great in the hands!
With that we started to go to the first fase and in this we started a Gofundme page, If you guys have time it would be great if you could look at it for now I will place renders within this thread and I wish to invite you to watch the phone and maybe help us get there by either donating or sharing the page! every single bit of help is welcome!
Mod edit: Link removed
It would be a great honor.
What I am doing in Basic is designing the phone and I would also do the commercials, animation and right now also wallpapers.
I worked hard on getting here and I truly hope it can go furder then this and do this as a job!
We will also send when all is furder devices to good reviewers to make the best device we can in design and experience!

while that was funny, We really are trying to get this lifted off the ground. If not then kindly share it, all we are trying to do is pursue our dreams and feel that being on XDA developers which is not only fellow phone guys but people of a community that help people. again we thank you very much for taking the time out and help us

Okay, why should I (or anyone) fund you? It looks like the only thing your company has now are some renders. You're throwing around all these high end specs but your company has no experience designing phones. You're in the early stages of development and you're already quoting $549 as the price? You seriously think you can offer a high quality phone with these high end specs? The other major players in the market already have tons of experience, tons of connections. I suggest instead of trying to crowdfund, you try to get actual investors on board. Good luck!
Sorry, but XDA isn't here to help you make money, regardless of the cause.

I would like to start my journey with the xda-developer community by letting everyone know somethings about myself. I suffer from a severe mental health disorder that restricts my ability to keep a stable job, but I have always done the best I could to appear as normal as everyone I know. Technology is about the only thing that came me down and give me purpose in life, so I spend most of my time trying to absorb everything I can learn on the subject. I do have my episodes where I can't control my issues, but I promise I will do everything I can to not cause any disturbances or problems while I'm a member of this community. If anyone feels that a comment or post I've made seems a little of or strange, please let me know right away so that it might give me a heads up if I'm about to have an episode. And if you feel it is easy to off I definitely want you to contact whoever you must for whatever reason. The only way I will ever be able to enjoy doing what I love, is by getting it here and being a part of the communities that share my save passion. I want to thank everyone in advance for their patience and understanding, and for the chance to develope not only technology, but my own skills at being a part of something greater than my mental health problems.

Howdy, Names Roxxo, DrRoxxo, The rock n roll clown and I... Nevermind
Anywho, I am an avid researcher of root and r/w access on Android phones. I love to learn and teach in turn. If there's ever something I can help with, I gladly will and I am certainly not shy to ask for help myself. (Because surely I'll need it often xD)
