Maybe it's a new Parliament building...

The firmware didn't work. I think the battery is FUBAR. I didn't know about the need to calibrate the battery - maybe that was the cause. Thanks again Sarge!

Sarge: Thank you for the list. My Macbook battery just died with only 100 charges on it. I live near Chiang Rai. Is Chiang Mai my best bet for a replacement?

Deadman: hope you enjoy your Mac as much as I do

Check out DiscWizard at Seagate. It works with any brand of hard drive and uses the Acronis engine. It's free and easy to use.

I recall this was a special (older) version of Acronis True Image customised for Seagate,

which mainly works with Seagate Discs. If non-seagate disks (Hitachi, WD, Fujitsu etc) YMMV

(your mileage may vary). Suggest caution if non -seagate discs.

It's been updated, per the Seagate site. Also see: http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/seagate-di...-free-download/

because 84% of forum users are not in thailand than your lash is pretty pointless

That's an interesting number. Did you know that 76.3% of all statistics are created on the spot?

BTW, his "lash" is not pointless. It is his view. Why would you dismiss that as pointless? It took balls for him to post it.

Not to me ... I value honesty. Flattery or false preconceptions just let me know this is yet another person setting up a barrier to meaningful contact.

And we all know how endemic such barriers are here.

I am an Aussie and tend not to sugar coat, as compared with Americans. I find Europeans are usually direct, too. Europeans won't smile unless they feel a good reason to.

Many foreigners here willingly suspend disbelief. I can understand why. But one of my favourite occupations is observing and understanding people, so I prefer truth, as the other sees it.

The "negative misconceptions" may have their validity, too.

With that attitude, you leave me no choice. I'm throwing my Crocodile Dundee DVD away!

Criticizing without critical thinking (challenging the answers not the questions) is easy. Especially for those who are used to letting the western media do their thinking for them.

How is your post relevant to the original post ? I'm afraid you shoot yourself in the foot.

That's good critical thinking. You should rest now.

samskywalker,

I fully subscribe to your "hit and run" approach to making a difference. Isn't it shocking how these ungrateful Thai's don't fall all over themselves whenever a benevolent 'round eye' deigns to help them out of their plight?

I noticed you're a 'newbie' too. I left Udorn in July '75. I was also stationed in Korat in '72. In case you're wondering, I married the mother of my half-Thai, half-American kids over 30 years ago.

I live north of Chiang Rai. But, I'd like to learn more about your center.

I don't have the Becker s/w. I do have two other Thai dictionaries installed on my Palm T|X (see links below).

I like the Paiboon more than the LingvoSoft for its Thai keyboard and phonetic spellings.

I have the Mac Book. My daughter has the Pro. My next MAC will be a Pro.

Make sure IPv6 is not installed.

To Uninstall IPv6 Using the Network Connections Folder

1. Click Start.
   
2. Either click Control Panel and then double-click Network Connections, or point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
   
3. Right-click any local area connection, and then click Properties.
   
4. Click Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 in the list of installed components, and then click Uninstall.
   
5. Restart the computer.
   

Trying to land and hitting a hillside at high speed seems like conflicting information. I was a helicopter flight mechanic in the US Air Force. We practiced auto rotations all the time - with the engine in idle speed. We lost a transmission once and had to do it for real. You only get one chance - it can hurt a lot if you miss.

Hey Techie Bods,

I brought a new Linksys WAG200G ADSL wireless modem/router for home (TT&T line, premier account) but the thing loses its connection with the internet (DSL and internet lights go off) and it cannot reconnect (to the internet).

When first turned on no problems finding the connection all the lights on, all good, wireless working, then usually 20-30 minutes later it loses the connection and cannot reconnect. I have to unplug the thing (no switch) and turn it back on again, this sometimes works sometimes don't.

This happens if the wireless is disabled, if I am downloading (torrents), surfing or if it is doing nothing at all.

The connection using my old modem that came from TT&T has no problems whatsoever so should be something to do with the new one.

I set the thing up with the installation disk that came with it.

I have been searching around alot, I have updated to the latest firmware and checked my optimal ping rate thing (dont know) but it was 1430 and changed the MTU settings to that, but still no joy.

Anybody here have a similar experience and know what to do? Or any really intelligent people who know what might solve this?

They seem like a popular choice here so hopefully they cant all be bad. Please help before I break the thing.

Have you seen this?

I registered several years ago and have not bothered to re-register. They have local area 'wardens' I think, but I am not sure what a warden would do (in the USA, they manage prisons!). What disaster might they warn me about, that I would not already have read and commented on, here on ThaiVisa? If there is a military overthrow of the existing govt., I doubt the American embassy would help. Nothing like the German consul at Nanking during the massive gang-rape by the Japanese, 1938-39.

The only American consulate is in Chiang Mai, a nine hour bus ride from the embassy in BKK. It's a real consulate general, staffed by diplomatic professionals.

I was working in Iran when Jimmy (idiot) Carter convinced the Shah to leave. Our military people were evacuated. The rest of us (US citizens) were left to fend for ourselves. I was lucky to leave the day after the Shah left. The unlucky ones became hostages.

I live north of Chiang Rai. I have a Sierra PC card, with service from Cat Telecom. I also have a USB adapter/PC Card holder for my desktop.

I've had no problems with service/speed in the Chiang Rai area and in Chiang Mai, using a laptop with a built-in PC card slot.

I no longer need the equipment if you're interested.
