  1. What do hackers want on Thaivisa ? Get your email address ? My guess is that my email address I use for Thaivisa is already in the hands of 10 spam lists or more.

    All data you type in Thaivsa is already publicly available. Do the following search and you know what for example Google knows about yourself

    site:thaivisa.com/forum rwdrwdrwd

    But this one

    Another good pointer to members for the need for distinct logins to each web service, especially if you ever connect to public wifi.

    Is always a good idea, and not only when you use Public Wifi.

  2. you don't need to afaic

    Am I the only person who doesn't want to have to sign up for accounts and memberships just to use a browser?

    +1 you definitely don't need to sign up for anything to use Firefox. It's an option, and if you don't want you don't need to.

    and if you don't want to see it in your menu's add this to your userchrome.css

    #menu_socialToggle { display: none !important; }

    #menu_socialAmbientMenu { display: none !important; }

    #sync-setup,

    #sync-syncnowitem

    { display: none !important; }

  3. That you are crazy if you send her more money. Seems she is paying for the whole family. But if i recall there was someone sick.. maybe the money is going towards a hospital ?

    hospitals/doctors are free here. <snip>

    MIL is in Hospital, broken arm, free hospital as you call them, said arm is just bruised, here are 2 paracetamol and go home.

    MIL (she is 70+) in pain all the time, my wife not trusting the doctor got in the car and drove up country.

    Took here to a real hospital (not a free one) and was immediately x-rayed, which the other (free) hospital refused to do and it came out that she had a bad break which will be difficult to heal as it is near the joint.

    Sent from my iPad so Please excuse any typos

  4. Ever looked at TrueCrypt ?

    A TrueCrypt partition is a hard disk partition encrypted using TrueCrypt. You can also encrypt entire hard disks, USB hard disks, USB memory sticks, and other types of storage devices.

    Edit: // Added Ps

    Ps: What if you add bitlocker and another PC you connect your HD to doesn't support Bitlocker, Truecrypt would solve that problem for you. Carry it with you on a USB stick and you access the Data on the USB drive anywhere.

    Systems Supported: Windows / Mac Os X / Linux

  5. After installing FF 29, it somehow messed up my localstore.rdf (which is where FF stores customized data on the interface, such as toolbar customizations, window positions and sizes, and tree sort orders.

    After a restore of a backup of this file, I couldn't get Firefox (in a new window) to get the screen Maximized without losing the "status bar" <- Where it says "waiting for Thaivisa .... " and more importantly the "Find" box.

    This was the same after creating a new / empty profile.

    Finally I managed to solve this by manually editing the localstore.rdf file (when FF is closed) and adding / changing this

    post-10213-0-17039700-1398838939_thumb.j

    The other problem I had was that for some extensions I use, I had to edit install.rdf and change the Maxversion to 29.0.

  6. What's the difference between mainstream support and extended support?

    Mainstream support is that you get non-security updates or additional features added and Security Updates.

    Extended support as stated in my post is that you only get the Security updates.

  7. My guess it's the email address of the person who registered the phone in the 1st place.

    Phone shops normally do that for you, but I always decline and rather do it myself.

    These might help:

    or

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19871177#19871177

    But:

    If this is for a specific app or apps, keep in mind that any apps purchased with a different Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID.
  8. I guess you are out of luck with online booking

    Looking here http://www.thairailticket.com/esrt/?language=1

    it says:

    Online booking is still unavailable.

    And from here http://www.thaizer.com/travel-in-thailand/how-to-buy-thailand-train-tickets-online/

    it says

    Update February, 2013:
    State Railway of Thailand temporarily suspended the online booking service in mid-January 2013. It is hoped that the service will resume, but at the moment it is unclear if/when online ticketing will be available again.
  9. ^ You can't really tell where you can get such a virus.

    It could even come from legitimate sites there are enough examples available of legit sites (like ad networks) that were hacked and were serving malware)

    Be careful, and make sure that your AV and OS is up to date. And Backup Backup Backup !
