Switzerland is a beautiful country but no doubt they found a wicked way to emerge. I tend to think that they initially didn't want it to turn out this way but its kind of an aftermath.

A long long time ago Switzerland was nothing but a small country surrounded by mountains and covered by loads of snow all year.

So they had to come up with an idea to survive and succeed..and there you have the most elusive banking system this world has ever seen.

But I dont think that this it what they wanted to achieve: attract people with ill gotten fortune. It was just inevitable.

By the way the article was about the incident of Oprah..the country just got a brief introduction in the beginning.

And when it comes to Oprah I dont know what she is worried about.

She should have learned to ignore low life creatures like that shop employee a long time ago.

There are no Samsung drivers / add-ons for Linux required.\

You do not state what version or kernel of Linux you are using.

In the past 2 years or so, Samsung (and other) mobile phones have changed from connecting to a PC using the USB Disk Drive protocol, to using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol. introduced by Microsoft. (Does that answer your question )

Linux kernel support for MTP has been poor but is slowly improving, but is still by no means perfect. For example if you are using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS MTP support is probably not installed as default.

As of Ubuntu 13.04 with the latest kernel updates, when I attach my SGS 3, the phone opens up a window and I can browse both the phone and the memory card. From there I can view and copy files in either direction. However I cannot open files that are on the phone / memory card (e.g. Photos) via the PC without first copying them to the PC.

Personally at this time I find using a Wi-Fi connection with an app such as Air-Droid or Kies Air installed on the phone much easier and better to manage files between the phone and the PC.

The only time I connect my phone by USB to the PC so I can work on it is when I need to use that Awful Kies programme, which fortunately is now very rarely since most updates are OTA (Over The Air).

Note I cannot get Kies to run under Ubuntu using either Wine or Virtual box / VMWare and it is the sole reason I have a dual boot system.

As for the problem with Firefox, I have never experienced that on a recent phone. It has all the hall marks of the Thai font not being installed / supported, but whether that is a phone or a Firefox issue I am not sure. Have you tired another browser? I strongly recommend Dolphin Browser. Although I am a firefox user on the desktop, on the phone I believe Dolphin is far superior.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer, very helpful indeed. it did give me some clues about the problem.

I use Linux mint 14 and I am about to upgrade it as a newer version of this distro just got released.

I have never experienced the lack of displaying thai characters with any other browser, its a strange issue.

Nice day

Totally agreed.

Streetfood is absolutely unhealthy and unnecessary. I know that the people who eat it they do so because its cheap but i would rather buy oatmeal that doesnt even need to be cooked and cook my own chicken or whatever choice of meat. Or some canned stuff.

Thats still healthier and would not cost more.

The wannabe psychologist just stated his own opinion.

Any problems with it?

No..thought so.

Yes,keep seeking.

When you want all of it, usually you end up having none of it.

I am not sure why everything keeps being raised now in Thailand.

As it is absolutely unnecessary and they are aware of it.

Man I have been trying to figure this monk out.

How he did what he did. The guy stacked so much money and became so wealthy in a matter of years that even crooks dont achieve in a lifetime.

Sure I read about the allegations that he did this and that to make money in shady ways but if one heard about the details of his story then its clear that he was into something much bigger than what the newspapers reveal.

Luxurious mansions and Maybachs under his name, cheques issued by US banks under his name with huge amounts on them that can be cashed any time and thats just the tip of the iceberg.

That's game ain't it.

A monk has to do what a monk has to do to survive in this cruel world.

Leave him alone. He was just stripping cars religiously.

I played around with a colleagues SGS4 today - firmware was updated last night - and had no issues with Chrome. Can you de-install it, then re-install it? Maybe stop all other apps. Do you have enough memory available? I searched XDA and didn't see a lot of threads re: FCs with Chrome.

Chrome (on Android) used to blow, but this (current) version seems to be pretty good. Still wouldn't use it - Dolphin is just too good - but still better than a sharp stick in the eye.

Dolphin is indeed good....I use it on my Onda 9.7" tablet the great majority of the time...on my S4 I just use the standard Android browser and sometimes Chrome.

Both of you seem to stay away from Chrome and use other browsers. I would be curious why, because as far as i am concerned Chrome is a very good browser, and beats most of the competition to stone age.

I have two questions - help me out tech-savvy folks, would you?

First whenever i connect my SGS4 to my laptop the Windows recognizes it, but Linux doesnt.

Its weird, coz Android is Linux based still, if i want to be able to use it with the computer, i am forced to use Windows.

Its not good because i dont like Windows, i use it when i really need to, and that happens when Linux doesnt want to display certain porn sites properly.

Of course my Windows is original, as no counterfeit is available in this country.

Any ideas related to the solution are .

Secondly, The Ffox on my SGS4 doesnt display thai characters. I only see squares..nice ones tho but i would like to have them replaced with thai characters

if possible.

Thank you for your help

I cannot uninstall the Chrome as it was pre-installed by the manufacturer.

All i can do is install or uninstall the updates. Or disable Chrome, that actually helps when it gets me mad i just disable it and calm down afterwards

when there is no Chrome is sight.

I did a lot of research on it as well - including XDA, didnt really see anybody with this problem.

I have noticed that it tends to Fc when a lot of tabs are opened.

Most of my memory is available by the way, but even it if it wasnt i dont think it should pose a problem because i use Ffox as well, which is more memory consuming and requires more space too, but that one works like a charm.

Dave2 from the Chiang Mai forum brought this to my attention though seems to have been around a couple of years.  The photos below supplied by Dave2 show the road show in Chiang Mai.  So, what do you think - will it help or will people be too afraid of the dark forces to use it?

When first heard about it I thought cool, we are going to have spots set up all over the the city, giving us a chance to bribe authorities.

But then they talk about tracking my bribes online?

I live in a generally well to do area now, but there are 3 "shacks" who seem to be squatting on the land they are on. All the dogs in the neighborhood are well behaved, each house having one or two, except those belonging to the squatters. Not only do they have no less than 50 dogs, but they turn them loose on the streets to terrorize everyone in the neighborhood, ripping through garbage, crapping everywhere, howling 24/7, and chasing every bike that drives by, and every person walking by.

 

Today I go out and there are a handful of little newborn puppies running around in front of one of the shacks, and I'm thinking, what is wrong with these people? This is the 3rd place I've lived in Thailand were the poorest in the area had all the dogs from hell. These people literally live in shacks and look like they belong in a refugee camp, but they raise packs of street dogs and let them breed. I don't get it. My Thai partner says it's a karma thing, but I don't buy that. All the other Thais around us only have one or two dogs at most.

 

Assuming there is a real reason other than they are pet hoarders, does anyone know why those who can hardly feed themselves always have an army of wild dogs?

Without any disrespect intended towards them, poor people tend to have a poor mindset by all means which makes them irresponsible individuals in general.

More dogs but dont have the means to feed them.

More kids but dont have the stability to raise them well etc...

Some people are just hopeless.

Put your body into a calorie surplus and you will gain weight.

Put it into a calorie deficit and you will lose weight..ASAP:)

Simple as that, really.

If you wanna lose weight than just eat less and exercise.

Eating less specifically means..cut back on carbs. Yes it is the rice mostly that caused your body to gain weight. You are in Thailand so you are going to eat that rice anyway so the trick is: with every meal have a smaller portion of rice.

This way you ensure that you eat and have a meal everytime you want to but you will end up consuming less carbs. As a consequence your body will store less fat therefore you are going to lose much of the weight you have gained.

Also if you reside in Isaan and on a low budget then you dont have access to fancy gyms but you dont even need that.

Walk everyday a certain distance and stick to it.

Or jump ropes..sounds funny but for this exercise all you need is a rope and some space. But its effective. Jump ropes a few times a week not longer than 15 min and you will lose weight like there is no tomorrow.

Good luck

Hi I'm a first time offender in Thailand , currently staying in mae hong son, I got caught for a few days a ago with 5 grams of cannabis in my pocket, I'm waiting for my court day, and I had to pay 15000 baht in bail. Am going to get deported from Thailand, or am going to have to go to prison. Maybe anyone knows a good lawyer around mae hong son are or changmai. Thanks for any reply

For 5gr you are not going to go to prison.

Its difficult to foresee what's going to happen but chances are you will need fo pay a fat fine then you will be deported and might end up their black list.

Unfortunately this happens all over the world on a daily basis. People use their power against the weaker which is a pretty sad and pathetic thing but given the fact that they are so poor they can hardly do anything. Thats the reason she was beaten up. The cops know they can do what they want.

There is only one thing that they and that rich piece of shheeet miss. What goes around comes around!!

Indeed. While in Thailand one should shoot for Samsung since they have good service for that. Brands like HTC etc..are not a good choice here.

Even if someone chooses that thai status symbol with a fruit logo on it its still easy to run into problems when it comes to repair.

Not to mention that there is a bite in the fruit which makes it undesirable.

I actively trade the Thai SET.

 

It has tanked significantly over the last few days.

 

I called my broker this morning for a chat and she advised that the correction of the SET is due to a series of articles from the local MSN that Thailand has entered a technical recession.

 

Your views?

 

An active trader, cool.

Would you be so kind and advice me on the thai stock exchange?

It would be nice to get some first hand info on it.

Just basic things like would you suggest to get involved in it?

How good and reliable the brokers are?

Do they have full service brokerage firms here?

Thank you

I thought your post was going to end with the statement "the shop did a factory reset" which all too often is their trouble shooting technique...but hey, many times it does fix the problem... then the person has to reload his applications which is easy nowdays with Google Play and with Google servers backing up a your contact information.

This morning I got a firmware update on my S4 42MB in size. You might want to ensure you have this latest update installed also...maybe it will fix your problem.

Thanks for the advice.

I am curious about that firmware update, was it an OTA update or you used Kies? I dont use Kies at all, I do well without it. So far I have received two OTA firmware updates but I havent heard of this latest 42mb update.

Yeah they always come with that factory reset thing. I did it already and didnt help. I am pretty sure that one of the other apps cause the crash but I dont know which one. Besides I had the same problem in the beginning, before I installed anything.

I know the feeling son, I went flying over the handlebar of my bike at 80kph last night and bounced down the road in heavy traffic. Not a singular Thai stopped to help me.

TexasRanger pointed out on a thread I opened about it on the general forum that you can potentially get jailed for giving first aid.

What kind of brain damaged moronic thinking is that? It's disgraceful.

Hope you are alright and will get better soon.

In my opinion the reason thais didnt stop and helped was not because you could go to jail for giving first aid but simply because they dont give a .....!

Its similar to the rushing ambulance cars..they dont care about them and never let them pass.

Well actually yesterday i took the phone back to the shop where i previously bought it.

The thai way of dealing with the problem was as it follows:

We were smiling a lot, asked each other how we were doing at that moment then one guy showed up and after explaining the issue to him that my Chrome browser

freezes and force closes a lot, he started observing the phone. I turned away and was observing the girls walking by assuming that he was doing his best to fix the problem meanwhile. But when i turned back, he was checking out my launcher themes. I didnt say anything but then he went on to long tap on the icons on my screen just to watch the red X appearing in the top right corner of the icons.

Then another guy followed, he looked like a real problem solver too. He opened the browser and next time i looked at what he was doing, he was checking out the last website i visited, and was on the customer service page already. I have no idea what the icons or the customer service and shipping policies of certain companies have to do with my browser and one might think that i am exaggerating about what they did but son i am dead serious.

So i switched to Firefox a while ago anyway and i like it but i would have one question:

does anybody know why this browser(Ffox)doesnt display thai characters?

Well, i assume it does i just dont know how to make it work.

Since its an annoying issue, the one with the correct, helpful answer is eligible for a free beer.

Thank you
