ok will have another shot at this later

I have wanted to start drinking fresh coffee for a long time now and getting bored of instant. So what do I need to do this? What will the equipment cost and where can I get it? What does ground coffee cost? Is it worth doing for only 1 person and can a pot be reheated later in the day?

looks like the guy took a beating too??

BF3 is good but Im finding coming to it after playing Arma2 for a while a bit dumbed down....

I ended up having to go buy a physical copy as Origin wouldnt take Paypal, managed to get the premium edition which is the full game plus all 5 DLC packs for 1,600 baht!

Yeah staright from the fridge, when I do beef steaks they cook easy tho same. Anyway saw some youtube video where a lady cut them in half and splayed them out so they do quicker but I saw a Gordon Ramsay one where he did a full fat one no problem...

Everytime I try to cook pork chops in the frying pan I seem to screw it up. It doesnt seem to matter if I have the pan on a medium heat and try to do them slowly or a heat heat and do them fast but the outside seems to cook very, very fast while the inside is still pink, I did one for like 15 mins or so last time and it was burnt on the outside but still pink in the middle. I know technically they are safe to eat once 160 F all the way through or something but there's no way Im eating it unless its fully cooked....

Does anyone know if its on? I went last year and it was a good laugh, cant find any mention on it via Google though...

well it seems after some googling I have found the following:

Changing language on origin has never worked and EA dont care, theres a thread on the Origin forum going back over 2 years with people complaining every few weeks

Not all Origin games can be bought with Paypal, BF3 being one of those

Wow what a complete crock of sh_t, this is like the complete opposite of Steam!

I guess that means I have to buy a physical copy, can anyone recommend a good place?

Looking to get BF3 now, Origin seems to be in Thai regardless of what language I choose, kinda hard to navigate. If i buy it via origin will the game be in English? Can I pay via Paypal? Eager to get on this...

I finally got round to setting up origin and now Im looking to buy a digital copy of BF3, annoyingly though after googling it Im always taken to the Thai Origin site which is of course in Thai plus when I runOrigin launcher its in Thai even though iin the settings I have it as English.

I can usually navigate my way around a Thai site which I did but when I got to the payment screen I couldnt see any option for paying with Paypal even though Im sure Ive seen and heard of Paypal being an option on origin and I use Paypal all the time on Steam.

Anyway around this? Is there a way I can buy say a US or Aus version online and it will work ok? Also, if I buy a 'Thai' version of the game will all the ingame options etc be in Thai?

So I have a flight form there in a few hours, is there a re-entry permit desk there? Please say there is.....

OK well im sticking with Win 7 for now as Im going away soon and cant risk screwing up my laptop again, I will look into the other options in the new year, thanks for all the help.

Yep kept it.

I will put Win7 back on for now as need to have a working laptop asap and will look at adding ubuntu later. Would it be better to put the older Ubuntu 10 on as thats what it had before?

Turns out it was the HD, they removed it at the shop and could then get into the BIOS with no problems so I just bought a new HD.

So should I attempt to install Ubuntu 12 again or not?

I cant get into BIOS or anything, tried pressing F2 or F12 while turning it on and everything. There's an Acer repair shop quite near me at season square so taking it there later today.

Just tried that, same

I have already tried restarting the computer with my ubuntu USB drive plugged in and my Win 7 DVD is the drive, nothing happens for both just the same acer screen with the F2 setup and F12 boot options there but neither work when I press them....

Thanks guys, got the disc drive open via the hole, same thing as above when win 7 disc in. All I get every time is Acer screen with F2 setup and F12 boot options but neither work when I press them. Tried with WIN7 disc in, with USB ubuntu drive in again and without, always the same.

Are there no factory resets on these things?

So I wanted to format my old laptop which used to have Ubuntu 10 on it and Windows 7 (32 bit I think).

I downloaded the latest version of ubuntu and set it up to boot from a USB drive. I then booted from the USB drive, as I wanted to remove everything from my laptop I choose for the old Ubuntu 10 and Windows 7 to be removed and a fresh install of Ubuntu 12 to be setup, everything ran perfectly during the setup, I created my username and pw etc etc, then at the end it said I needed to restart which I did. After it restarted it froze on a startup screen showing Acer and F2 <setup> and F12<boot options>, I waited and waited, nothing happened, tried both the options, again nothing.

I then manually switched it off and tried again, same thing, tried another time with the USB stick removed, still nothing. By now I realised that something had gone wrong, I couldnt get off this screen and the laptop wasnt booting from the USB drive or anything so I grabbed my old Win7 disc to attempt to boot from that and install it, DVD drive wont open, nothing happens when I press the button. OK now Im in trouble....

Im out of options here, can anyone help? Would be much appreciated as I need to go away soon and must have access to a laptop

My Laptop:

Acer Aspire

Intel i3

2GB RAM

Prior to this it had the following OS:

Ubuntu 10

Win 7 - 32 bit

ah ok, on Dayz im 'David'. Im not sure how to 'add' you in this game though. Been playing it solidly for 24 hrs now and loving it, already got NVGs and a good job cos I just had to slog it from Elektro to Cherno in the pitch black and pouring rain to search in the hospital for antibiotics cos had an infection all day, need someone to give me a blood transfusion now as Im quite low, have 2 packs tho.

Ive been on a variety of Thai, SG and JP servers, been pvp killed loads on the latter two but on the Thai ones everyone seems way more friendly, however I have noticed that most of them are on veteran so making it a bit too tough for my liking tbh. I went on the no cd key one (GGDayZ) earlier and I had lost all my gear but it was back when I went on another. There is one called ThaiDayz I want to get on as its on regular hardness but it always boots me and says im not whitelisted :/

I will probably be on again tomorrow evening.

...also when I go here https://help.ea.com/contact-us and try to log in it just sits there loading for ages....

Anyone know any pubs/restos that serve Sunday roast until the evening in Bangkok? Thx

I got a new PC 3 days ago, downloaded Origin so I can get BF3 and made an account, but when I launch it and try to create a profile it says it cant connect to the servers and please try later, even though my connection is fine. It also says 'username taken' no matter what i try even with obscure numbers and letters used.

Been like this for 3 days now.....

OK got myself an ace PC (i7, 8GB ram and Gegorce GTX 660 Ti 2GB) and played Dayz quite a bit already with a friend.

How can we connect? Via steam accounts?
