I was curious and bought a box last week of the SERC. I take a few a day, trying to do so before meals. I would say that it does reduce appetite, and have dropped a couple pounds since. However, I have been dieting and exercising regularly anyway and have been losing weight so I don't know how effective it is really.

It's cheap and relatively safe so I would say try it out for yourself and see what you think.

I concur - throw out the cheapo brands (I bought two of them and they sucked) and get a logitech - the higher $$$ you can afford the better. Clear crisp video and good sound too! Very well designed as well and fit on the flat screen perfectly as well as balance well on many angles of surface.

I was having a heck of a time from beginning of January til just last weekend with my True connection, but as of about Sunday it started speeing up again and seems back to normal now.....hope it stays that way!

Hi There

I have the Philips model that has the USB port, was about 4000 Baht - has played nearly all formats I have thrown at it. A great convenience to just throw a couple movies on the stick and have my evening's entertainment!

Actually a diet like atkins is not a "no carb" regimen, but a "low carb" one. But really you should be getting the vast majority of your carbs from leafy greens and broccoli and such. Just try to keep to clean proteins and lots of veggies, and you will do fine. Maybe a little boring, but not really. I love big salads and a couple pieces of steamed chicken or fish, or get some grilled chicken and yum dang gwa for lunch.....breakfast a couple of eggs and some protein, keeps me full til lunch. You just gotta be a litttle picky and get the carb moster off your back, which takes a week or so.

I've tried all kinds of diets, and this is the one that is, for me anyway, sustainable and enjoyable. Also the one I lose weight on.

Control Winamp From Your Browser with the Winamp Toolbar

I mostly use Itunes now, and control it in my browser with Foxytunes, I love it! (need to use Firefox to use foxytunes). Foxy works with pretty uch all of the other audio programs too.

If you use Nero Burning you can plunk the whole MP3 into a "make an audio CD" wizard window, then edit it down to fit the 80 or so minutes you are allowed on an audio CD (and fade it out). Then remembering where you split it make another CD and start off where you left. If your MP3 file is really that big you are going to have many audio CDs worth of music to burn (of course that depends on the bitrate of the MP3, like discussed above). I have done this before, it works alright, is certainly an easy task once you understand how to do it.

Yeah, too much interference.....I tried with mine several times and sometimes it would be OK, but inevitably the interference would come back.

However- don't a lot of the soups get made with plenty of sugar, or high-carb fluids like coconut milk?

Hi there

Coconut milk is actually quite low carb!

what is wrong with the sound from your machine exactly, is it the sound quality (probably the internal speakers) the sound volume (internal speakers) what type of sound are you after ? I use my laptop as my music center and have it plugged into my hifi and it is superb, only reason I would require and upgrade would be for improving the sound stage dolby digital etc. you can buy a set of external speakers or use headphones if you want better quality/volume

Hi there

Sorry, never realized someone replied to me.

I do a lot of music wiritng, producing on my machine, and DAW programs (Propellerhead Reason, Cakewalk Sonar, Frutiy Loops mainly) plus all the plugins I use require a fairly robust soundcard. I start to get lots of crackles from my programs unless I lower the quality immensly. For just listneing to music my com's interanal card is fine.

I found a decent creative external card - USB - for a few thousand baht - works very well, and is very compact. Plus can handle my music programs well. I got this at the IT center in Laksi Plaza....a good shop on the 2nd floor that handles a lot of creative products. I've seen one on the net that plugs in to your pcmcia port, it's new and not to expensive - I'll probably try and get that one when I have a chance, if it ever comes to thailand.

I don't know, I use P2P quite a bit, and over the last few days it has been just fine. I'm on True, one of the users who has had almost 100% uptime with the service for the past three years. My torrents lately have been very very healthy.

i'd stay away from BitLord. most good torrent trackers ban people using it.

stick with utorrent.

I second that - used bitlord for awhile and it was OK but then tried Utorrent and will never go back now.....great little program!

Hi

I was able to get rid of the bug (killvbs.vbs) with Nod32. At least I think it is gone. It was on my coms, my various pendrives, my camera, my ipod, my removable hards disks.......pretty much everyhhing that would connect via a USB. Other virus software could detect it, but couldn't kill it. Nod32 seems to have gotten the little bugger finally.

i take then you don't have one? why did you bother posting?

I thought his reply to you was genuine...why the hostility?

I've had an LG now for a couple years.....heavy use and still is doing just fine. Salesperson I got this from steered me away from the Sony, even though it would have been a bigger sale for him.

that is a good phone!

My wife just had to have the new "video, MP3, photo with flash" model and it has been back at least three times being repaired so she "borrows" my good phone and I get the 3210 which is a model she wouldn't be seen dead with in public

I follow sloan's advice and use Avira Antivir. Finally had to take AVG off as it was not downloading the updates any more. so far I like Antivir. clean and non-obtrusive....

Whenever possible I use freeware - when I can't I get it free anyway

Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread, but found a USB soundcard on this page:

and am wondering where the shop is for this website?

Thanks

I suppose there'll be less people there during Songkran. I haven't been to Pantip for years though. I usually go to Zeer or Future Town.

Thanks! Will do what you reccomend. Ugh, Panthip scares me though.

Got to Pantip Plaza, on the 3. Floor i9s a shop in the back named STC. They dealing with all kind of special Adon cars such as SCSI, TV-Sound and so on and all CD-Staff as well.

Talk to the Owner K. Visan or hims Wife. both very good in english and the service from this company is outstanding. If you mention my name they will even do more for you!

Don't scary about that shop!!! That's one of 2 I visit at Pantip!

I think I ned to chage my keyboard in an short time because somkeys sometime don't works. So, excuse for the faults!

Thanks! Will do what you reccomend. Ugh, Panthip scares me though.

Hi There

Could anyone tell me where I could find an external UB soundcard for my notebook? Specs on my new com are really good except for the low end internal sound card. Creative has a couple decent cards, and they seem to be the most popular choice in Thailand, but on a hunt through Fortune Town today had no luck in locating a USB card. Actually, when questioning most salespeople they seemed to have no idea what I was talking about.

I might have to wait till a trip to Singapore, but if you know another IT center in town (i.e. Zeer, Panthip, Laksi) where you have seen a shop which deals in USB soundcards, I would highly appreciate the information. My internal card is fine for most everything, but I do a lot of digital music production (using Sonar, Reason, Fruity Loops, etc) and the com card just can't handle that kind of punishment.

Cheers!

Tom
