The problem I have with the Apple shop is that they don't repair it. The fact that it is damaged does NOT mean that THAT is the reason why it doesn't work anymore.

If Toyota uses the same 'logic' it means that if my car doesn't start (because of a flat battery) - they will say "car is damaged at the back - total loss - buy new one"

The fact that the car is damaged has nothing to do with the fact that it doesn't start anymore.

Again you first need to look at the iPad and after that you can give me a quotation how much it will cost - for me a normal procedure, not for them.

Maybe I should convert it into a dart board as sugested by "Mogandave" or use it in the kitchen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcIwXVKQjsQ

Another option is

Yes as there is a official Samsung repair shop where I live while all Apple hardware will just go back to Bangkok and then you have to wait a few weeks before you got it back (correct me if I am wrong).

That's the problem, my home is 150 km from MBK

You are right, no need to connect to internet all the time - it is just convenient if you have a WiFi router.

Just install a wireless router otherwise you always need to switch on your PC to read your kindle - not useful in my opinion.

A wireless router doesn't cost you an arm and a leg....

Thanks for the information, looks like I will throw it away and buy me a new Samsung Tab...

Have an iPad that doesn't work anymore so I went to the Apple shop to ask them to have a look at it.

They look at it, noticed that the corner near the on / off switch is 'damaged' - see picture - pick up the calculator and show me TB 10.500

I ask them "How do you know what is wrong with it WITHOUT even look inside the iPad"

We need to send to Bangkok, take about three weeks.....

It is maybe just something very small but as you can not look through the iPad, how do they know already what it will cost? Does Apple not repair for a normal price?

Internet is as fast as the slowest connection...

Thailand - Nuclear Hub of Asia

Stay with Sang Som & Soda of just beer, always safer than tap water

There we go again - wrong stamp: http://www.thaivisa....or-6-year-stay/ - ALWAYS check your stamps......

Why would the Thai government give you 100% ownership of something that belongs to them and is for local people only? Before you took over the lease you should have done your homework "is this legal and possible" not after....... Just give it to your girlfriend and her family, lesson learned

Money that disappears in Thailand, that is the last place on earth I expected money to disappear

What's wrong with it? Looks fine for me...

May I suggest to hold the GP in Pattaya, if I close my eyes I can see the GP already : Banglamung => Naklua => Beach Road => Walking Street => over the hill back to Second Road, left at Soi 6

Can't wait.....

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS check your stamps and date if they are correct and if wrong, immediately go back and let it changed will save you time and money later!

Second the pfsense suggestion.

Cheap, reliable, load balancing/fail over, QoS and the lot, along with decent online support through forum...

Regular routers would overload very quickly with that many users...

Wouldn't worry on the logging issue too much.

Legaly even every internet cafe's should only allow users after copy of ID/passport is taken and logged.

None do!

On an even bigger scale, you can buy a sim card, stick some credit on and activate 3G, totally anonymous!

You are not as that SIM card is registered under your name :-)

As posted above they use dot-matrix printers because they print out 4-pages at the same time using 'carbon paper', 2 pager for you, 2 pages for the vendor and all these pages have a special function in the accounting system. You also need to sign them (receiving goods) so when you sign the first page, you automatically sign page 2, 3 and 4. Don't worry, dot matrix printers are widely available and that they don't use them anymore in your country does not mean that other countries should abandon them as well.

Oilinki is 100% correct, that is the problem! The ISP can trace it back to the Resort but with the internal logging system we are able to say, that guest with that userid and password visited that and that website otherwise we - the resort - are held responsible.

All big hotels and resort with WiFi must log users access and keep it for 90 days on their server, it may sound strange but that really is the case. Everybody, even guesthouses, bars and other places that offer WiFi must do this as well! Also if you have a company you must have a logging system in place, that's why so many people in 2007 were opposed this law..

You don't need to log the user's activities. Probably you will want to consider doing DIY e.g. getting 2nd hand linksys(flashed with 3rd party firmware) and get high gain antennas or alternatively make a chain of linksys with 3rd party firmware.

This is the problem, YOU DO - as we will make WiFi available for our guests, we are an "ISP" and so we must implement a logging system - see below:

Section 26. A service provider must store computer traffic data for at least ninety days from the date on which the data is input into a computer system. However, if necessary, a relevant competent official may instruct a service provider to store data for a period of longer than ninety days but not exceeding one year on a special case by case basis or on a temporary basis.

The service provider must keep the necessary information of the service user in order to be able to identify the service user from the beginning of the service provision, and such information must be kept for a further period not exceeding ninety days after the service agreement has been terminated.

The types of service provider to whom the provisions under paragraph one shall apply and the timing of this application shall be established by a Minister and published in the Government Gazette.

A service provider who fails to comply with this Section must be subject to a fine of not more than five hundred thousand baht.

They can setup a special fund for you 10% interest per year, 100% RISK free. You transfer the money and they do all the work for you - success guaranteed!!!

My new Dell laptop had a broken hard disk, next day Dell engineer replaced the hard disk on my desk in Hua Hin, one of the reasons why I bought a Dell!!

Accept your loss and move forward, what is TB 4.000 anyway? Not worth the hassle and why didn't you buy a new one in the first place, they don't cost you an arm and a leg!

I look for a WiFi network to cover about 90 detached villa's. Existing system does not seems to work and need to get replaced.

As it needs to be compliant with the Thai law, I look for a system that supports userid & password to login and loging of internet activity as required by law.

I already have a quotation from Motorola which is expensive so I look for alternatives now.

Anybody any suggestion?

Thanks,
