  1. Google ads I believe, work on previous search history.

    Stop looking at Asian naughty sites and they will disappear , I only get ads for churches and the like tongue.png

    I don't, but still get lots of dating site ads.

    Could it be because I spend most of my time in the Visa forum where the word 'girlfriend' crops up frequently in posts?

    Could be, as one will never now how the almighty (to keep it within church terms) Google works thumbsup.gif

  2. ^ Thanks, I didn't know that, but I find 250K THB coverage not a lot, if for example you break a leg that will already set you back 100K THB+++, so what will happen if you have a heart attack (with a couple of days on Intensive Care ??) etc etc.

    Unless you have some money (of your own) to rely on, I would look for an insurance with a coverage lets say up to 2-3 Million THB. But this will be (of course more expensive)

    FWIW and more savvy members may already know all this, but I actually linked to and read Yahoo's Privacy Policy and T&Cs and found another link to a Network Advertising Initiative org. http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ , which Yahoo says it's a member of.

    Above link scans your 'puter on arrival and in my case, found 70 advert orgs that my browser is signed up to for this user based advert crap. I opted out of all just on principle. Took 3 separate scans and about 10-15 minutes to get all 70, noted you have to do this (as well as Yahoo opt out) for each computer your use, something about cookies, etc. The site recommends further you scan from time to time, it's not a one time "cleaner".

    Good link, thx for that, if you don't like these trackers use a addon like ghostery (which disables them forever) and after you close your browser run ccleaner and select the cookies you want to keep and remove the rest !!

  4. The student will not be blacklisted, that is a whole process that includes very senior officials and carries an appeal.

    Which is not to say the student can try to extend.

    That is why Mario I said kind of blacklisted, lets call it unofficial blacklisting by the officer, he is not going to get an extension in Bangkok anymore. I really don't think he will. Perhaps in another immigration office.

    Kind of blacklisted?

    Is that like being kind of pregnant?

    For the lack of a better word. Unofficially blacklisted in the local immigration office. Local form of blacklisting blacklisted.

    Rename it to; Not very welcome in that particular Immigration office anymore !!

  5. But the old internet still does not work right here.

    Why can't they just fix the present internet first and then worry about the address thing afterwards?

    What good does it do to care about running out of addresses if this whole local network is so slow that no one really wants to use it in the first place?

    Internet connectivity is a Global Thing and not only a Thai problem, so they first have to solve the Global Thingy and then eventually (when nothing else matters) maybe fix internet within Thailand.

    Global concerns count for more then the Internet Connectivity problems of Somchai in the backwaters of Fareast Isarn !!

  6. IPv6 dates from 1998. How is this "news".

    The whole planet has been migrating (at the speed of a glacier admittedly) to IPv6 for at least a decade.<snip>

    Because it's almost too late, and that means they may have to take action, but lets first talk about it some more etc etc etc etc etc thumbsup.gif

  7. Downtime could be possible as they need to change to ipv6 capable equipment, also eventually (if you already don't have one) you have to change your Router/ Modem at home to be ipv6 capable.

    But don't expect this to happen in the near future, my guess it is another 3-5 year wait.
