Oh no your not even on my scale
In terms of obnoxiousness I think we can all agree on that.
Looks like I didn't make myself clear on that one, my bad
but then again I don't have time to explain it to you
Isn't about time you two buried the hatchet? You've been arguing for as long as I've been a member here. How could you two not be bored of disagreeing with one another on every possible topic? I honestly think you two will never see eye to eye, considering Idol is an idealist, and hotshot's a realist/practical person. I also realize it's some times hard to see things from another person's perspective, but there comes a point where letting your opinion be known, isn't worth the effort invested in the argument.
For the record, whichever person decides to quote this post of mine and attach a snipe at the other person or defend their own position will only seem like a child. Just quit the conversation/argument, considering it isn't going anywhere, and is only making it blatant that the only thing you two agree on is the fact that HDBits exists.
You seem to be of the mistaken opinion that I take any of this seriously. Point of fact is that I very much don't care about HDbits .
As for "arguing " ,what you call arguing I call baiting since I'd frankly be even more of an idiot than I already am to engage in an "argument" with an ( obvious) adolescent.
Btw threatening me with appearing childish is hardly a threat at all.Actually more of a compliment really.http://filesharingtalk.../vb3/images/smilies/unsure.gif
Anyway everyone's already long passed judgment on me one way or another, for better or or worse so meh.
PS bt is seriously business .Sorry for the lack of proper solemnity.http://filesharingtalk.../vb3/images/smilies/mellow.gif
PPS omg stfu
Tsk, tsk... I would have thought it was obvious?! They both love each other and are secretly conspiring to get their post counts WAAAAY higher than they are now... :lol:
Seriously though, hotshot hasn't said a single thing worth reading yet in this thread, and actually comes across as a pre-pubescent teen... and Idol, if you hadn't already guessed, has fuck all else to do but keep these sort of things going for his own amusement :lol:
I know you don't take any of it seriously, and just post for the heck of laughing at idiots. I do the same, as do a few others on here, as well. You yourself mentioned that you don't care a few posts back in this thread if my memory serves me right. My post wasn't about HDBits, at all, it just referenced it as a joke (I always add humor to my more serious posts to remind people that it's the internet after all).
I wasn't threatening you with the childish snipe. I meant it. You yourself admittedly see him as an "obvious adolescent", humoring/baiting/associating with him makes you a person that argues with what? I'm sorry if it seems I'm making fun of you, I actually am not, but you have to agree that having pointless banter here and there on retarded topics (ie the definition of elitism) is just about the silliest thing that have happened on these boards (yes, I've read bijoy's posts). Again, I'm not making fun of you, having a go at you, or anything of the sort. If you actually want him to get really angry, you have ten times the chances of doing so by saying something like "caps are absolute shit, itunes ftw", especially in this thread's context.
P.S. If there's one thing I don't enjoy is being setup as an evil guy with the other person using ploys for sympathy. I didn't pass an offensive judgment on you, at all, if anything, I called you an "idealist" which I would categorize myself as, as well. Read into that whatever way you deem appropriate.
u just killed this thread, WAY TO GO BRO.
Hotshot does caps - itunes content is the exact opposite/can put him out of business (except its quality always falls short for some reason) - you favoring the latter can make him vewy vewy angwy, especially in a thread related to itunes content.
In other related news: I just noticed that you and Carol Ann Duffy can pass off as related.
Better Carol than Mike.
And btw I'm not "openly " bisexual.
"Does caps" so is he some sort of drug user then?Hard life. Now I feel sorry if I was overly harsh on the lad .
er...what are you talking about ringhunter?Maybe you need to get some rest?:unsure:
I know I thought the whole Washington Capital thing was pretty strange.
Not being smart and then being happy you don't know anything is something that's pretty strange. Congrats at being the laughing stock of this site for basically devoting all your free time to posting useless comments. 12,000 useless comments is really a spectacular achievement. Again you should probably go die.
I glad that in your contriteness of being able to manage to do what any semi-trained simian could , you are also able to glean that I'm "not smart".
As for the rest of your on the other hand not useless post ,you are repeating yourself on both calling me a laughing stock and wishing me dead.
I am sincerely sorry that your otherwise abundantly apparent intelligence doesn't also extend as far as either originality or humour.They are as far as I can tell the only things lacking in your otherwise sterling character.
Btw Just my guess but I don't think your mom if she happens to see this when you are off lighting puppies on fire would approve of you wishing anyone dead.
Of course I could be wrong because somehow in my illiteracy I seem to recall the phrase " The apple ( the fruit metaphor being ironically apt in your case) doesn't fall far from the tree"
Apologies to semi-trained simians for the negative comparison btw.
And to you mom for ...well you know.
You must have the mind a five year old and a thesaurus. Mom jokes and bunch of words you had look up. What a fucking retard.
Oh and burnsy if you go back and actually read the thread you will see who the asshole is. Well every thread he posts in hes the asshole that constantly derails shit. Also I can reply all I fucking want because this jackhole doesn't deserve the last word or should I say paragraph of useless shit that can be said in a sentence
Yes but then for a 5 year you have to admit pretty brilliant that I have the ability to both read and comprehend a thesaurus.
A "bunch of words had look up"? :unsure:
A brief, for the attention deficient , thread summary .
OP "Anyone know where , besides HDbits that I can find itunes encodes.'specially looking for nothing in particular".
Hotshot "Nope only HDbits " Drools a little and attempts not to look too self-satisfied . (Fails but it was a noble attempt)
Lots of other people "No there are other places"
People list some in an attempt to help and not just try to seem uber-l33t.
Question more or less answered ,thread losses all relevancy.
Chrissomethingorother says something anal and seeing that, both the thread is now degenerated into people posting basically the same thing over and over and that he said did in fact bring up something that I have a strong opinion ( right or wrong) about I interject ( thanks thesaurus:happy:)
People (polarbar) continue to say thing of increasing stupidity so I feel compelled to respond ( more or less in kind).
At this point ,Hotperson bearing an old grudge against me because I had inappropriate sexual relations with his mother in the bathroom of a Target store begins to give voice to his unreasoning hate for me.Mostly by using words like shit because he once heard grown-ups use them so he thinks it will sound "more mature " than the caw-caw he usually uses .
He also, to cement his maturity, wishes me dead several times .
After that basically just two idiots being silly on the interweb.
Problem is only one idiot seems aware of the fact .:mellow:
Congrats on wasting your time with all that even though nobody gives a shit. Hmm let me be a dick and take your road, the thread says iTunes releasers and HDBits is the only place that has them. Maybe if it said iTunes relayers then yes the other people did help.
Oh and if that's your definition of brief you need a dictionary to go along with that thesaurus.
I've totally lost track of who is trolling who.. One dude is taking incredible offense and spewing nonsense, the other is writing a novel. :huh:
edit: crossing my fingers they stop this nonsense, cause then your post would indeed kill it
I see a lot of familiar names in threads I didn't expect... there's alot of hijacking going on... so typical of pirates.
Internet communities are interesting to say the least, private sites are free to setup rules and standards for membership. That includes things that might seem hypocritical or counter intuitive. On the other hand, anyone is free to critique such decisions. Then, there's always the choice to not take part; but things aren't always so simple because it's not all negative or all positive. We take the communities where we see the positive, and push for changes in principle through opinion/discussion/bickering because we'd like for it to become something more suited to our ideal image. If no argument takes place, then that means that there are 1 or less thinkers present.
I'm pretty glad a lot of the itunes stuff can be found on usenet, I prefer it over scene encodes (ctu/immerse/2hd/etc.). Those professional content providers don't always provide the optimum encoding (neither does scene to say the least) strategies, but I assume they're usually working with equivalent or better source. It was easier in some cases to appreciate the web dl over scene (Burn Notice).
Anyways to reiterate the point of this thread, if web dl is the preference, either try to get into one of the recommended private sites or grab yourself a usenet provider.
Hmm, some perspective... cost of Family Guy season 8 HD and Modern Family season 1 HD on Zune MP (similarly priced to itunes)
= $129
Cost of bluray = does it exist?
Cost of usenet account = $11/mo (ex. Astraweb)
I mean I am supportive of their distribution methods, but the DRM and price are not worth it. Even if it was worth it, I couldn't really afford it. What you're essentially paying for with Usenet is convenience, the convenience of maxing out your DL speed, the convenience of not uploading, the convenience of being able to find everything you're looking for without scouring forums and getting into private sites.
Certainly, if you have the money and prefer getting your media locked into limited devices/programs, then iTunes is perfect for you.
I support free filesharing. Usenet companies make money with scene/p2p releases. Fuck them!
It's all right if a company sells retail content online. It's not all right if a company sells pirated copies online. No matter if you pay for a flat rate or for every single file.
Warez are released to be free. They're not released to increase the profit of Usenet providers or filehosters. Pirates are not the content providers for commercial download services.
I'd never put music, TV shows or movies I bought and ripped into a distribution system when a company makes money with it.
On top of it the anti piracy wankers don't go for the companies who earn money with warez. They go for bittorrent trackers or single users who share for free.
Again:
Get your warez for free or buy the original. But never pay for warez!
What the fuck are you talking about Polarbear?
NSP's sell a service what you choose to do with that service is up to you. Server space and bandwidth don't come cheap!
It's the posters who abuse NSP's by posting to it. You can also download Open source and Freeware software, Linux tarballs, Linux isos and also use it as a bulletin board.
If you read the history and purpose of Usenet it has evolved over the years.
It's not as if p2p trackers require donations to 'help with server fees' in order spread property intellect - scene/p2p releases. Even filehosting websites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, Megashares etc require fees to receive no waiting time, higher download speed and larger hosting space.
Do you know how much profit companies like Giganews or Rapidshare make? We're talking about millions of dollars here. They don't make that money with linux distros. Those companies profit directly from piracy. Nobody would pay for a download service if there weren't any warez to download. Warez that were released to be free.
I know newsgroups since the early 90ies when I used them through my university servers. Usenet today has become a giant warez selling machine run by big corporations.
Anyhow this is pretty much off topic. We already figured out that the best free sources for iTunes releases are HDBits and BitMeTV.
What you choose to host/leech from trackers/usenet is up to you. As I said, you're paying for a service to binaries/txt whether they're warez or open source is irrelevant.
Does it really matter how much profit a organization makes? The 'millions of dollars' isn't profit it's gross margin - how do you think the likes of Astraweb can have 700+days retention?
You also don't have to pay, you can IPv6 tunnel and use a free broker......
Polarbear you don't know what you're talking about. If there was a decent profit margin to be had in newsgroups, those big providers would be getting undercut by another provider until the profit margin disappeared. There is no monopoly market in newsgroups and I highly doubt all the providers are colluding together, since this is the internet we're talking about and anyone can just step into the business.
Also, you're paying for the convenience of the service and not for the warez themselves. With that mindset, everyone would be paying for warez by buying seedboxes or subscribing to an isp :rolleyes:
Also what seems to be forgotten is that it's a service that used to be free (and still is with ipv6). Due to some legal bullshit and ISPs willingness to drop support (US scenario), there's no longer free access to usenet binaries. You forget that usenet isn't just one thing, you can nearly find anything you're looking for, e.g. a specific version number of a program when the website doesn't even provide access to it anymore. Badass bandwidth isn't free, somebody's going to be paying for it, it's just not your ISP anymore. I think everyone reiterated this point. I don't get anything warez off usenet, it's cliche to even suggest that.
