MJCM

<snip>

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 !!

"all their apps must be reinstalled"

Microsoft is doing a TIT or is that TIM.

My Guess (but I could be wrong) that they mean the Apps installed through the App store, but if not then "utter madness"

I doubt it that they will give you any information (especially Bank Balance) over the phone !!

One more thing, don't get any tears or rips in the higher denominations (like 20, 50 or 100 USD Notes) as the Cambodians don't like it and most will not accept it anymore.

Perfect MJCM, thanks. I was never very gifted with words.

In my case, it has nothing to do with being gifted with words but a combination of Beer Chang and a good Dictionary

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 !!

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 !!

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

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.

I doubt if it is available yet here.

You are correct, if you enter by Land you will only get 15 Days (and when arriving by Air 30 days)

It all depends on what kind of visa you already have.

A re-entry permit you only can get within Thailand.

Please give us some more info !!

This could be of assistance

I'll wait for the notice from Yahoo about this.

^ apparently not with this guy !!

To first thing I would do, is check it in another phone (if you have that option available to you)

Found this post (maybe it helps)

which gives it the coordinates: 10.358581,99.266468

A Shame, as I liked it when I had to be in BKK and it was an affordable place to sit and drink some beers!!!

yeh, you are right! my bad, I just read thru the visa progress and see that it going quite smooth! forgot to consider the leaving.

Thanks again! I will think about these 2 options again.

The Visa is easier to do as your not required to have a lump sum tied up in a Bank Account and don't have to go to immigration with a 6" (exaggerated) stack of paperwork.

thank for useful detail, seems like this way is much easier than report to immigration every 3 month.

Sorry Yarinda,

I think you are mistaken on this

It takes for me from leaving home, going to immigration, doing my 90 day reports and getting back home around 45mins - 1 hours.

But on a Visa Run, I leave home around 6am and will be back around 3-4pm.

So for me the 90 day report is way faster.

Ps: I am only comparing 90 Day Reporting with 90 Day visa runs

PsPs: Don't forget, a lot of Immigration Office also accept Mail in 90 Day Reports. (so it is only a trip to the Post Office)

They prey on people who don't know and even then I am surprised that they are not charging them even more then the 30 THB they are asking!

Something what Google is doing for years and years with Gmail.

I don't like it, but it seems if you want free email you have to cope with it
