Of course they do

1. Yes, and that MAC address is the same whether they use the browser check or not. They can get exactly the same information about your computer/connection without the browser check.

2. No, it cannot.

Yes it can for your number 2 item

Call China, ask them what they use and copy that.  Problem solved.

What do you think the NIG is?

Movies that are in colour and Black & White

Luckily a sensible solution from the Green party was forthcoming. During a House of Lords parliamentary debate Baroness Jones delivered this little gem

"I might put in an amendment to create a curfew for men on the streets after 6pm. I feel this would make women a lot safer, and discrimination of all kinds would be lessened."

Looks good on paper, can't see any potential issues.

You are obviously trying to wind people up. But if you are, and as I say I dont blieve you are, serious then we must also forbid women to be ner to children. Why you are asking well from what I remember Myra Hindley was a womn and look wht she did to children.

If you really believe is crazy measures like you have posted then it has to be applicable to both male and female.

after all women do want equality dont they or is it only when they chose what can be equal?

Surely you must have looked up the requirements yourself before before stating that Scotland could not meet them?

Therefore you must be able to at the very least say what those requirements are and why you believe Scotland wont be able to meet them.

You'd be more plausible if you could also link to your source.

Last year I did look them up but I dont consider them very important at least not to me so I dont bother recording them or remembering them. If I want them I will go on the internet and look them up.

Thailand is not the place it once was.

 

anyone who thinks otherwise needs to ditch the rose glasses for a pair of reality lenses. 

There are three alternatives, which are:

1. Thailand has changed from say 10 years ago

2. Thailand is the same but you have changed and

3. Both you and Thailand have changed but in different directions hence you notice the difference.

SPEAKING to the teacher?????

If it was my daughter there would be no point in speaking to the teacher as they generally cant say very much with a broken jaw.........and other things (I will let other fathers fill in the rest but I am sure they will understand what I am saying)

Well I did not make the assertion that Scotland fails to meet the requirements so I will not bother.

That is what I read. If you want the document chater and verse go online and read it

Do expand please. In what way does Scotland not meet the requirements?

What is Scotlands current inflation rate for example.

You tell me, I have no idea but if you take the time to read the requirements online you will find out

1 minute ago, Rookiescot said:

In what way?

There are rules which applied to the UK joining the EU related to inflation etc and Scotland can not meet the requirements. If you want to fall asleep quickly you can look up the requirements online.

Which is up to scotland and the eu.

And the EU has alredy set the requirements that Scotland cannot meet

Why?

 

Because they can not meet the criteria required for membership

What this site has "done" is to recover from an unexpected complete crash.

A hell of a lot of work has gone on to get the site back up and at least semi functional. It is unfortunate that there are issues remaining, though the technical team are working almost non stop to get it right. A little understanding would help at this point, along with a little patience.

EDIT: It was a malicious DDoS event that caused it, not negligence by TVF.

Bad design of the network that caused it, no excuses

Thank you for your support. We would not wish to be a burden on you nice English nationalists so lets go our separate ways.

The extra money Westminster gets can be used to improve spelling standards in England.

the ''official'' reason is an external ddos attack

my bet is a not so good\underpaid tech team

like every Thai having a car accident is never as fault 

it's always a brake failure or something like that

 

 

I would agree with you. A DDOS attack should affect the server online not the standbye one. Also I would assume they would be running with VMware as virtual machines and if Linux is used a DDOS is extremely unlikely to occur

There was a server crash and presumably lots of data loss. They should have a banner at the top of every page explaining this. We need to wait until they can restore the site to where it was.

You never just have a single server. It is always duplicated so a crash is not a good reason. If that was the reason then they need to start looking at the network as a network and not something you may string together in your home.

With a dual setup you upgrade one server that is offline and when that is tested and ok you put that online and upgrade the other server.

Although it is a complex issue, in your opinion should Scotland seek independence from the UK?

 

Please feel free to leave a comment.

Let them. They are always whinging so lets seee how they get on when they have no money from the UK government.

OK - this isn't a wind up.

You can buy an imported VW or Audi and because of the tax, you will pay as much as a locally assembled BMW or Merc.

I've told the tale of how a few years back we wanted a small, sporty hatchback and the Benz GLA 250 AMG was the best choice. All the local small cars were 1.1 liter slowboxes. The Subaru's dealers wouldn't let you test drive if they had stock and generally, the imported cars were insanely expensive. 

So to me - the price of a BMW/Benz is cheaper than equivalently powered imports. More expensive than Japanese cars of course but better to drive and it's not a bad thing that you get special parking privileges. And the other special attention. 

A Golf VW Golf 8 with a 1.5 liter 150hp engine is 2.6 million.

A BMW 220i Gran Coupe M Sport is 2.1 million with 176 horses

A BMW 330e M Sport is 2.7million with 292 horses

Now I do understand this is an emotive topic but I always hear 2 things but can't figure it out

1. You can get a better car for the money. Well - not an imported one, so that leaves the local Jap cars. Which ones are better than BMW/Benz in the same class? Are we saying Camry is better than
2. Price/Horses - as you edge to higher performance but not the 300% bracket - Benz/BMW  seem like a positive bargain. The Benz C43 has a respectable 385 horses at 4 million Baht

So whether you are looking for comfort and style on runs or a bit of muscle - I don't see anything here that matches what Benz/BMW have.

Of course - I would not recommend a BMW if you only have one car, unless you like walking. But where are all these better, cheaper cars in the same class? I don't see it.

Mind you - I will say one thing - that 'special attention' you get sure wears off as the car ages and these car park attendants seem to be trained to tell the difference between differently priced models. This isn't just snobbery, it seems to be educated, focused snobbery. 

A larg part of the BMW cost is duty but when it is assembled in country, as i believe BMW now are or at least according to a BMW salesman, the duty is very much reduced. Reality is they are still twice the price model for model as in Europe.

What is the explanation for that?
