Advertise and you have more chance of being taken advantage of..

Most criminals are not very smart people..

Even thais don't get assistance from passerbys when they ae being robbed. I personally know of two who were robbed outside banks in the middle of the afternoon while people just walked away. And forget the police, unless you want to pay them some money for taking up their time..

been 18 months ... but I am not the marrying type..

not sure I would advise her to marry me anyway!

So as per usual... stu don't belong

Once it is covered in the english speaking press, you might need the bandwidth

if you are using internet explorer, you could try using mozilla firebird instead.

just export your bookmarks from explorer to a file in mydocs or somewhere, then when you run firebird go bookmarks--->managebookmarks file---> import

for exporting from exploder file---->import/export export favourites

firebird blocks all popups.. you have to enable websites to allow them to serve them to you... for example if your internet banking site uses them

what does maxidar mean?

and kwiz I think your fruit is a guava

I think anyone would appreciate being told, fareng watch out before that green bus runs you over...

Dell laptops and keyboard problems... I didnt realise they were so common

I have a inspiron 3800 and the key board has been playing up for a couple of years.

I have had my keyboard out many times trying to fix the problem myself, and if my experience is anything to go by I do not have much confidence in getting it repaired, probably better to source a brand new one. At first I was successful in getting it to work correctly but after a while it would not work correctly no matter what I tried. The problem would change each time I cleaned it and put it back together. The manual( was available at the dell website,and is quite good in detailing disassembly and re-assembly) recommends putting the screws(7 of, marked with a k on the plastic next to them) back in a certain order, and I found this sometime worked, though different orders would move the problem keys around.

At first I suspected it was a dust/dirt problem underneath the membrane, and would blow out under the plastic with compressed air, but as this was not helping I ended up taking it fully to bits, removing the metal back plate, the keys and the key hinges in an attempt to see where the problem was on the membrane. ( the key and hinges are a bit tricky to pop back together so have a good look before you take them apart).

even after a severe physical inspection and checking the continuity of the keys with a multi-meter I still could not find any problem, I also thought that maybe the ribbon cable had a crack in one of the tracks, but they all checked out fine also.

summing up, fcuked if I know!

I just went out and bought a cheapo ps2 keyboard , and now have gone and bought a short ps2 keyboard which I carry around with me.

as for in panthip, the shop on the 4th floor , next to the well in the middle opposite the main entrance, they quoted me 2500baht to fix my keyboard and 5500baht for a brand new battery. they seemed to be the cheapest and looked like they had the biggest range of used laptop parts.

If yours is an inspiron 3800, PM me and I will email you the manual I have or you can go to the dell website and search for the one for your laptop.

my dell has been one of the easier laptops I have pulled apart , so don t be too scared about undoing a few screws. my keyboard has two ZIF( zero insertion force ) sockets, one for the keyboard and one for the little nipple. make sure you understand how these work before you go to remove the ribbon cables. the internet will have some pictures somewhere, or the manual will explain the proceedure.

as a side note, a couple of years ago I was having a problem booting my laptop. I would press the power button and the startup lights would flash then it would just shutdown ( no post, nothing). the first time I took the laptop to bits thinking the processor had come loose, but that did not fix the problem.

I found that after about 13 goes at trying to start up ( pressing the power button 13 times ) it booted normally. This has happened to me twice. got no idea why.

well time for an up nam

“Without a whistle or some form of outlet, water in a boiling kettle will simply explode,” Rungruang said. And that is how he believes conflicts in society will pan out under Thaksin.

nice

I think the Post should be more concerned with sacking its proof readers, every edition I have read has spelling, grammar and logic mistakes somewhere in it.

I usually only buy wednesdays edition for the database section, The international review normally brings a smile to my face.

I have it on very good authority that there are only two things in the world which smell like fish. And one of them is fish.

is the other one cat burp??

"If you compare it to an egg, we found the disease in the yolk and we will continue destroying the disease until it reaches the edge of the egg white," Mr Thaksin said. "But there might (still) be the disease in some spots of the yolk."

I can tell what is soft like an egg......

Does this bloke make sense to anyone????

Why Men Lie

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above

a river, his axe fell into the river.

When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked,

"Why are you crying?"

The woodcutter replied that his axe had fallen into the water,

and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden

axe.?

"Is this your gold axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a silver

axe.?

"Is this your silver axe?" the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe.

"Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all

three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later, the woodcutter was walking with his wife along

the riverbank,

and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord

again appeared and asked him,

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez.

"Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious.

"You lied! That is an untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, please forgive me, my Lord! It is a

misunderstanding!

You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You would havecome up with

Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also said 'no' to her, you would

have come up with my wife.

Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three.

Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives,so

THAT'S why I said 'yes' to Jennifer Lopez."

The moral of this story is:

Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit

of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it!

I am Australian, and I love that beautiful land down under, but as for the tribe of peanuts who seem to be increasing in size, they can go and get fcuked....

the majority seem to be tending toward the mindless subset of the world who find american television and movies the epitome of entertainment and who will get scared if there is not a Macdonalds within a block of their vicinity. Even the backbone of our proud country, the men and women from the country are a dying breed, as their children go in search of that farcical happiness that is portrayed on the cathode tube.

Having a leader who is the ultimate yes man, only compounds the problem.

there may be hope on the horizon as more people turn to the internet, become more familiar with it and learn to sidestep the packer snot to really find out what is going on, and not be content with the "news" on tv.

maybe we can go back to the type of people who were forced to think for themselves because of their isolation, with their skills at working something out because of their closeness to reality.

and as for australian immigration, a mate of mine had a similar experience as thejudges mate though with the internal examination, he was taken from sydney airport to the hospital, without being able to inform his parents, who waited at the airport for four hours not knowing where he was.

always give governments and large corporations answers that will fit in the neat little boxes.....

IT, you want to fill us in on the laws in thailand relating to 802.11

are they(ais/thaskin) trying to keep control of it

life is bad for your health, every minute brings you closer to death.

after using them for three years have you noticed any side effects?

if you have your windows open it should mitigate any problems about being exposed to harmful levels of insecticide. I have never seen any warnings about the devices you are talking about and they have been in use around the planet for the last ten years or so.

I think most people do not use them because of the cost, and they are used to using mosquito coils and spray/wipe on repellants.

thomas merton you should not take the bait of those far ranging thinkers who threaten you with a kicking or a thumping if you wish to have a serious debate about something.

I do not take your statements as showing you to be an apologist for those type of people who prey on children, in either a sexual or psychological manner.

paedophillia is definately a serious subject, which as already evidenced gets people in an emotional state very quickly.

I do not support the exploitation of childeren in any way,shape or form, or the exploitation of anybody.

this is not the place if you wish to have a academic discussion about the human psyche.

I think advertising and marketing are the most pressing problems we have today.

People need to have a look at what is required to make them happy, and why.

and yes, the golden showers, a very recognised brand name across the globe.

IT if you start up another country/race bashing topic you might get some action.

discussion of a reasonable topic does not seem to elicit any interest.

though trying to have a discussion of politics and social ethics in thailand, it would be very hard not to stray into dangerous territory.

thanks IT , but I am in bangkok

think I will head off to bummengrad first thing in the morning. Just have to pay the price. hope they can do it quick is all.
