New TAT Motto: Thailand - The Hub for Crackdowns!

Since you've found a way to post this question 3 times, I would recommend you pay someone to do this for you. Go to MBK and pay THB 500 to unlock it; there are about 100 or so choices of shops that will do this. You could also go to Fortune Town or Pantip Plaza.

4Tb is a large disk, and the technology may not be stable?

What are the problems?

My old WD just crashed after one year of life.

It was replaced under warranty, but that crashed just before the 2 years were up.

I did get a second replacement, but did not feel I could trust it.

Yes, it is a really large drive, but Seagate advertises that it is made for the Mac OSX. Only problem is that whenever I fill it up, over 3Tb, my Mac won't recognize it and I have to reformat. I may have figured out a work around by partitioning it, but that's not how they are advertising it! To be fair to Seagate, my Time Machine 1.5 Tb Seagate external drive has been going for almost 3 years with no problems. I've got 6 other WD external drives of numerous sizes and have never had a problem with any of them. Everyone has their own experiences.

I have had bad experiences with WD and prefer the Seagate drive

And I'm almost to the point of throwing my 4Tb Seagate drive in the trash! YMMV

Chap that I know works in the same oil & gas industry as myself and also hot-shots all over the world swears by carbonite.co.uk

Never has issues with accessing his stuff and doesn't worry about his laptop or other luggable going tits-up at the 11th hour. As long as he has access to a computer with an internet connection, he is still in business.

Straight from their website..."Carbonite is online backup – not online storage." And it's not free.

Go with an external "portable" drive like the WD Passport.

You can take the airport link to Phaya Thai and then BTS to Victory Monument. Below the platform are a number of minibuses. Do not bother with the train, train arrives at horrible hours. Do not go out to Sai Tai Mai, that is not worth the effort.

Why is it that there are so many people on thaivisa that post replies about things they know nothing about. Train arrival times are varied and not horrible at all.

Kind of like all your "love or leave" it replies!

Ok.

It's a godsend compared to LA. Last year with over 2 hours between my international flight from Bangkok and my domestic connection to St. Louis I still managed to miss my domestic flight. For one thing there was this impossibly long line at U.S. customs. Eventually I managed to talk one of the employees into letting me jump ahead of the line due to the timing of my domestic flight. Was unable to get on standby flight and had to pay full price for an entirely new ticket not to mention having to stay at a hotel for the night. No direct flights to St. Louis by the way, which used to have the busiest train station in the entire world. Had to fly to Atlanta then wait over 2 hours in the airport, and finally I got to fly backwards to St. Louis.

Oftentimes I've had to wait at the L.A. airport for 8 or 9 hours for my domestic flight. First thing to close are the book stores. So no new magazines, paperbacks, etc. Restaurants all close by 1 a.m. or so. Can't even sit in McDonalds drinking coffee while waiting for a 6 a.m. flight. For over five years now LAX looks like a construction zone. Aside from the long line at U.S. customs contributing causes to my missing my flight were the shuttle bus after landing having to drive a very long distance for a ridiculous amount of time getting from the landing strip to the terminal and the great difficulty I had just being able to find the ticket counter for my domestic flight. Believe me, Suvanarnabumi is a total class act compared to LAX. I can easily get help throughout the airport from personnel who seem anxious to please, taxis are both cheap and plentiful, meals are much cheaper and better there than in U.S. airports, and the restaurants, shops and bookstores never seem to close. And for those who do smoke, there's plenty of smoking rooms that are conveniently located.

Ummm....Jack, LAX is not even in the Top 100 (http://www.worldairportawards.com/Awards_2012/top20airports.htm), so what does your experience there have to do with the topic? Just because LAX sucks doesn't mean that Swampy is a world class airport!

"bright young people"? You're talking about Thailand, right?

Just walk down lower Sukumvhit. I'm sure you can get a good deal on one of the tuxes in the display window. They've been around so long that they're back in style again after 30 years!

Som nom na!

A member of Parliament has friends who "tease" him by sending him porn? Speaks volumes for his maturity level!

"In addition, after many years of attempting to reduce infringements, the department will soon upgrade Panthip Plaza and Sukhumvit Road from being categorised as red zones for having |a high rate of IP violations to yellow zone. These two areas are now highly developed, as landlords have been encouraged to allow only sales of legal goods."

This is beyond comical!

That's a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black!

"signs have been put along the routes to prevent traffic jam."

Hmmm...new magic signs will fix the problem!

This seems to be happening a little bit too frequently for comfort.

Is something happening or is it coincidental?

there are no "coincidences", I think the wholes are caused by the flood, seems to me???

How could the "wholes" be caused by the floods, when there were no floods in that area, nor in Sathorn/Rama IV where the first "whole" occured?

Emily, Outlook is a Microsoft product. They are the ones making it so difficult to move from one OS to another, mostly from fear that once people see how much more stable the Mac OSX is, compared to Windows, that people will break the chain of servitude that MS has created!

To answer your question, it depends on what version of Office for Mac. Many of the Microsoft created problems were fixed in the 2011 version, but it's still very difficult convert files created in Office 2003 version and before.

"Jesus, it is time to reclaim freedom of speech and freedom of rights from these money grabbing bastards! "

Did you pay to post these on YouTube? So how is YouTube enforcing potential copyright violations, which could shut them down, a violation of your right to freedom of speech? By the way, as you reiterated that you now live in Thailand with no connection to England, you follow the rules of Thailand, of which freedom of speech is strictly controlled!

Arrived Sunday 2 hours early for a 1340 flight. 10 minute wait/check-in for Bangkok Air, then 5 minutes to get through Immigration. YMMV!

I seem to remember issues the last time Pattaya tried to host an ASEAN Summit! Oh well, mai pen rai and Amazing Thailand forever! Just remember to have helicopters on stand-by if you plan on hosting an event there.

Ummmm....you're at least 5 years behind the rest of the civilzed world. But keep talking and you may get a viable 3G network about the same time 9G is introduced!

Now just waiting for the appologists to tell me to leave if I don't like it. Glad I'm not an Irish IT instructor. 555
