that was an excellent read

please post your good links as they are appreciated

Whoa... anybody know any shippers out of Dubai... maybe we can go in on a couple of containers.... what do you Brits call it? A "whip-around?"

is your father the head Thai customs honcho ? wouldn't want to see more ferraris crushed for the television cameras

maybe I was a bit quick to blame true

300 millisecond ping is atrocious though and I am supposed to be on 1024/512

there is some discussion online elsewhere about a misconfigured router in CZ causing routing problems with cisco IOS machines that have not been updated - but that issue is only talking about the last 12-24 hours.

True seems to be playing with their packet shaping/Qos ( I am using the term loosely )

I have noticed the last 2-3 days that if I run a torrent client I get choked down to nearly nothing even if the client is throttled for minimal down/up.

when I stop the client all together my speed comes back

- though the speed itself has not been very good for the last 2-3 days anyway.

all this "made money , lost money" is absolute cr4p

bankers and governments encouraged a housing and land price bubble which allowed them to lend more and more created money to greed driven speculators who completed the circle and spent their alleged gains on ipods from china.

nobody created anything except for poor workers in sweatshops in china.

when commodity prices rose to a level the sh1t hit the fan.

many of the people now complaining about their "losses" were all complicit in the scheme.

but since this is Thailand, I'm sure they'll have many half-hearted rules in an attempt to prevent passengers, especially Farang, from riding it to the airport.

this is what I would expect - a rule that if you have a bag and are a farang you must take the express train

we can assess the suitability of your swimsuit photos if you post them here

I just saw a reference to this sign that was at the wall street bail out protests , so I had to find a copy for you to enjoy

Thai Banks don't have - not our problem - etc etc

The central bank's Financial Institutions Development Fund incurred liabilities of 1.4 trillion baht during the crisis for its bailout of creditors and depositors of ailing banks and finance companies.

Carrying costs for the liabilities are as high as 60 to 70 billion baht per year for the government, an expense item that Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij has stated he wants to bring down to help free up funds for other programmes.

This is not the first time that policymakers have tried to address the FIDF burden. M.R. Pridiyathorn Devakula, a former central bank governor and finance minister, in 2007 proposed amending the Currency Act to allow the central bank to shift funds more readily across its various accounts to help pay down the FIDF liabilities.

The liabilities have been split into three lots, with 500 billion baht in the first lot to be paid down from annual profits generated by the central bank. Two other lots, of 112 billion and 776 billion, would be paid through returns from the central bank's general accounts.

From 1997 to 2007, however, the central bank has paid down just 31.6 billion baht for the first lot of 500 billion baht in debt.

take the HD out of your old laptop , put it into a external USB enclosure , connect to your new laptop and copy all the bit s you need.

now there is a medium which can allow most to see things that are published - things are not so easy to suppress as in the past.

many will read this to find out what the fuss is about

google Android is an operating system designed to run on phones

the phone you may be referring to is the HTC dream ( G1 for america )

starting next week in Barcelona is the Mobile World Congress where it is expected many new phones will be shown and announced that run Google Android operating system.

browse pdadb.net and gsmarena.com to look at phones announced which will be running google android.

HTC is a Taiwanese OEM ( original equipment manufacturer ) who make many kinds of phones that are rebadged by telecoms companies around the world.

I imagine the Asia Sentinel will be blocked shortly

Dr Chakratham said the ministry believes this economic crisis is worse than the one that hit Thailand in 1997.

this poor bloke is going to be counseled about speaking the truth.

is there a link - is someone getting twitchy ?

Thai Soldiers Raid Human Rights Group Office In Pattani

By D. Arul Rajoo

BANGKOK, Feb 8 (Bernama) -- Thai security forces raided the office of the Working Group on Justice for Peace (WGJP) in Pattani early morning on Sunday amid warnings from the powerful Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) that southern Thai separatists may disguise themselves as human rights defenders.

WGJP chairman Angkhana Neelaphaijit said soldiers stormed the office at about 5am but did not arrest any of the volunteers who were asleep.

"When I asked the officer in charge of the raid (over the phone) if he had a search warrant, he said there was no need for one as it was conducted under the martial law.

"I contacted the Fourth Army Chief to show our displeasure and concern over the raid," she said when contacted.

Angkhana, wife of missing lawyer and human right defender Somchai Neelaphaijit, said the soldiers left three hours later after searching the premises, which serves as the base for WGJP to carry out fact-finding missions on the situation in the restive south.

I would think they had UPnP enabled on their routers , but they also probably let it be used by selected programs of which bittirrent is not one.

what client are you using?

so how do they educate the public on mosquito control ?

television advertisements ?

radio advertisements ?

pamphlets ?

or a truck driving around spraying atomised diesel ?

I have only ever encountered one of the above.

I'll wait to see what they will do to Suthep. Saying Khun Thaksin wants to become President is a lie. Khun Thaksin never says so.

he wants to become a monk and live out his life quietly in meditational reflection ?

:D

she was allowed to keep the land, because no irregularities could be proven during the sale.

she was allowed to keep the land as it is now worth less than she paid for it

the scheme to rezone the entertainment areas fell on it arse

boo <deleted> hoo - so much for that savvy business deal

have you got UPnP enabled on your torrent client ?

I wonder if they first have to demolish the supports already there for the original elevated light rail project ?

and I hope it is completed faster than 3klms per 10 years.

and no plan for a line down chaeng wattana , ram intra to connect the other aide of rama 4 bridge to minburi

the black swan also seems to have a bad case of squirty bum - is there any significance for the food industry ?

you don't need to port forward when you are using your phone as a modem

I didn't think they could make it any less desirable to anyone with a modicum of taste,

what has taste got to do with a good motor car ?

fuel economy , reliability , driveability and safety concern me.

maybe it is because I am not female.

you could run a datalogger on a gps s60 phone - how much is a second hand 6110 navigator now ?

but Montys device sounds what you are looking for

Thus, the Puea Thai Party Spokesman suggested the police not to become a political tool while warning them that the case would bring much controversy to the nation.

why has this boy not been slapped down convincingly by the justice department ? his statement is attempting to pervert the course of justice.
