  1. It seems that an Avast VPS update (VPS 170222) has removed these threat pop-ups, which further lead us to believe most issues explained by users are false positives. Given the breadth and sheer quantity of allegedly infected files, this makes sense – Avast has been detecting thousands of files on some “infected” systems, all the way down to software-level errata (like Gimp or Photoshop) and to system DLLs.

    To fix this problem, update to Avast! VPS 170222 or simply ignore the detected threats that meet these same conditions.

    It's not the first time these muppets have screwed up.

  2. Meanwhile the murky case of the Ukrainian who paid Trump's campaign manager has taken another strange turn.

    First, his extradition to the US was approved, and then suddenly Spain appeared with an arrest warrant and may well have put the kibosh on it.

    In addition to his work for Yanukovych, Manafort also worked with Ukrainian oligarchs, including Firtash. In 2008, a group including Manafort and Firtash negotiated an $895m (£718m) deal to buy a New York hotel, which they wanted to redevelop as a mall and spa, according to filings from an unrelated lawsuit. The court filings include memos of meetings Firtash and Manafort attended in Kiev. The deal eventually fell through.

    He is Ukraine’s 16th richest man, with an estimated wealth of $251m (£202m) as of 2016, according to Forbes Ukraine.

    Obviously another Russian wanting to stash ill-gotten gains overseas. I wonder who that could be?

    This administration is as bent as a 9 baht coin.

  4. He was told to resign.

    Honestly what is the world coming to when you can't help your mates stitch up the bookies for a few quid.

    And I doubt The Sun were that pissed off as they are the ones milking it.

     

    Mind you, they'll probably lob him a wad of cash for an exclusive.

    Looks like the pie eater might be in a spot of bother

    Well I think they have to prove he placed a bet himself.

    I'd like to think he wasn't that dumb.

    If you are in farangland and you want good service from a hotel doorman -- you tip him, or a waiter in a restaurant - sometime even when there is a service charge, or a bar if you want continuous top-up, even in a non-self-service petrol-station.   These are the service staff perks they get for doing "better than normal" for the customer who is in front of him.  Did you not give your postman and milkman, etc a bottle or a cake for Xmas?

     

    Where perks turn into corruption is when the "perks" are an expectation.  Given the level of salary of government workers, it's no surprise they want a little extra and are very grateful for appreciation expressed, but when it is added to the price, then it is corruption...

     

    Er.... When perks turn into corruption is when perks are illegal.

     

    The fact that it's maybe cheap to do in comparative terms has no bearing on its legality.

    Surely there must be agents in other provinces advertising there products including visa services.can not see the Thais not utilising a cash cow situation and pushing immigration help.if not cnx is lucky to have choices.

    Or it's made the service so deliberately bad that it essentially forces some clients into using them.

     

  8. They played OK. The pitch was a bit weird, saw some very funny bounces.

    Bet the lads loved the changing room.

    Now Lincoln can pay their rent for the next ten years, I bet they were relieved.

    The cost of doing business in the Middle East countries (for example Oman or the Trucial States as was) has always had a 10% levy/fee call it what you want, that is paid to the owner of that particular section (telecoms, military, agriculture, banking etc.).

     

    When securing trading licenses back in the 1800s, there was always a "fee" to be paid.

     

    Backhanders are a part of life Always were, always will be. For FMs to get high and mighty about a few baht being paid to the lower echelons to expedite matters is ludicrous.

     

    Know the system and use the system.

     

    Not matter how you try to rephrase it, you are confusing legal systems with corruption.

     

    Better to raise the fee and hire more staff, or introduce an incentive scheme to stop them playing with their mobiles.
