  • Do you think tv companies are responsible for piracy?

    I don't know what it's like in other countries but in UK I think greedy companies are responsible for tv show piracy as many tv shows are exclusive to certain providers, for example

    Game of thrones only available with sky

    Fear the walking dead only available with BT

    Vikings only available with prime TV

    Narcos only available with Netflix

    Kingdom only available with virgin media

    If 1 tv provider had all the tv series it would probably massively reduce piracy assuming it wasn't ridiculously expensive.

  • Duolingo speaking exercises keep skipping on my S7 edge?

    I've been trting to learn German but for last few weeks the speaking questions keep skipping. I've gone into settings and turned on speaking exercises but it keeps turning itself off, I've logged off and on, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried on the website version but for some reason it keeps turning itself off.

    It works fine on my old S4, is this just a problem with the S7 edge or my phone?

  • Samsung Android Malware?

    AVG on my phone just popped up "Malware detected" then a purple circle with the word lollipop "system UI is classified as Malware. This app was pre-installed by your phone vendor and we cannot remove it"

    It's a Samsung S4 and I've had it for years so I doubt it's had a virus on it from day 1. Has anyone else had this message? Is it legit or false positive.

  • Do you use vpn for all Internet activity or just pirating?

    Was just wondering wouldn't it be obvious that your up to 'no good' as soon as you connect to a vpn?

    I've heard you should use them for downloading to stop from being traced but couldn't it also have negative effects for example your Internet provider see's your hiding your activity and looks into it incase your a pedo or terrorist?

    Sorry if they're stupid question but am not really into computers.

  • So what black actor should be nominated for an Oscar 2016?

    Serious question I haven't watched that many of the nominated movies so what black actor has been overlooked?

    Is it jist PC gone mad or have black actors actually been overlooked. Denzel has won twice and nominated 4 other times so it doesn't appear racist to me. I believe it should just be the best people nominated, it's racist in my opinion to nominate a minority over a white person who was better simply because you need more black people.

  • Is learning a 3rd language really easier than a the 2nd?

    It's a common saying that once you've learned a second language learning another is much easier but I can't see how that would be true. Wouldn't the 3rd be even harder as your already remember 2 languages.

    Anyone on here who can speak 3 or more languages would you say the 3rd was easier?

  • Will wiping(factory reseting) a laptop get rid of a virus?

    And what else does it delete? Would I have to download windows again as the laptop is years old I don't have disks that came with it.

    I suspect my laptop is infected windows has failed to install updates for months I've tried many 'solutions' online but none have worked, I do have mcafee installed and it doesn't find anything but the laptop seems to be getting slower and windows not updating is leaving the laptop vulnerable.

    I've copied my videos, pics etc to hard drives so am not worried about them being deleted in laptop wipe/reset.

  • Civilization V 5 game question?

    Sometimes a civ will ask you if you plan to attack them, can you ask a civ if they plan to attack you? it seems unfair if they can but you can't. I am playing offline against the computer not other people.

    I've been told by an ally that a civ plans to attack me and I've noticed their army around one of my cities but I can't figure out how to ask if they plan on attacking. I don't want to declare war as my defence packs won't count but I don't want to leave my army in that city forever as I will need them in other places.

  • Why is racism and sexism ok?

    When aimed at white males. A welfare and diversity officer at goldsmiths college in london has faced no consequences at all from the college dispite the fact she tweeted kill all white men and has refused to let white men join in at diversity groups.

    Ms Bahar Mustafa response to being called racist and sexist was "Because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender and therefore women of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system" so basically it's ok to discriminate against white men and the college seems to agree.

    Thankfully in UK it's illegal to say kill all whites,blacks, muslim's etc and the police are not racist so she's been charged with threatening message and another charge of sending a menacing or offensive message via a public network. But she'll most likely get a caution even though white people are fired and sent to prison for similar offences because the courts and businesses don't accept minorities can be racist.

  • How do americans feel about a gun law that guns have to be kept in a secure place eg a safe?

    I AM NOT SAYING BAN GUNS, would a law saying guns must be kept in a gun safe be acceptable in US. Just read a sad story about an 11 year old boy who got into an argument with an 8 year old girl so walked into his house got his dads shotgun and shot the her dead in the street. It doesn't sound like the dad will be charged for anything

    In UK you can legally own shotguns but if you didn't secure the weapon and it was used in a crime you would definitely be arrested as guns must be kept in a safe by law.

  • Archery left or right handed bow?

    Am a little confused am left handed for writing and throwing but oddly I use right hand to hold my phone and right thumb to tap screen.

    I done the tringle test where you hold your hands out infront of you and make a tringle to look at a target then close one eye, I am right eye dominant because when I close the left eye the target doesn't move but when I close my right eye I can't see the target my hands appear to jump.

    So if your left handed and right eyed what bow do you use?

    Will it be harder for me to learn because am crossed?

    I can't see the boxset being fake I got it of amazon, I just watched episode 2 and when danny spoke to drogo there was no subtitles then I skipped back and put english subs on and it showed what she was saying but then also subtitles for all english parts?
