Re: Water tanks: concrete underground or plastic?

So the general consensus is to go for the big round plastic one and bury it as opposed to a concrete constructed one. Thanks for the tips.

Re: Water tanks: concrete underground or plastic?

Any idea on cost comparison with the two?

If blue plastic they'd definitely need to be buried.

Re: AIS/12Call mobile services

Any idea how much the AIS/One-2-Call 3G data services are? Can you simply add the service to an existing number?

That said I've managed to get by on EDGE/GPRS so far - its fine if you don't want to download anything big or stream video.

Re: Golf's Royal Trophy (Europe vs Asia) to be held in Hua H

Doesn't look like it from their website; http://www.theroyaltrophy.com/site_2011 ... ation.html

The course itself may lay on a few minivans though - pickup/drop off is usually Market Village so I would enquire there first.

Re: The Digital Surgery

Does sound like a strange one hhf, have you tried a smaller USB stick in the XP machine to test the results. I recall your machine being rather old also so it probably only has USB 1 ports, you may get errors transferring large chunks of data using USB 1 instead of the faster, newer USB 2. Also try ...

Re: Camera thread

Some of the bigger DSLR lenses have image stabilisation - VR or vibration resistance they call it. But I've never really noticed the difference, a steady hand or tripod for long range stuff always does the trick, you could also switch the ISO to manual and notch it up a bit to get faster shutter spe...

Have had Nikons for ages and cant fault them so will stick with what I know. The problem is that in Thailand cameras are a good 25-30% mor...

IE is an integral part of Windows, so when it scans the OS it will include IE.
