Re: Airbus to end production of costly A380 superjumbo
After the A389 Business class experience, you wonder how good First Class is. Nothing wrong with a 777 but the A380 really is a great flight on the top deck. I've yet to see a B777 seat map that had 1 - 2 - 1 configuration in biz class like the Emirates A380. On Emirates a window seat means there i...

Re: Airbus to end production of costly A380 superjumbo
Boeing tried to sell the 747-8i and had way less success than Airbus did with the A380, they only sold a handful of them. Boeing didn't commit to the 747-8 to build passenger planes. They based their financial decisions on building freighters and passenger planes from the same core components. Havi...

Re: Airbus to end production of costly A380 superjumbo
I’ve been fortunate to fly on Etihad’s A380 in Business Class a number of times and it is certainly a better experience than flying on their B777 equivalent. Totally agree. Yesterday I checked flights and prices for a flight to Portugal on Emirates. They now have only 2 A380 flights leaving Bangkok...

Re: Second hand smart phones
One argument against buying a used smartphone - the battery is probably well into the latter part of it's useful life. Soon you may need a new battery, not easy to find and when you do probably not 'original', plus you need to get it installed. One argument for buying a used smartphone is it may ha...

Shop selling cheap luggage?
I need a large (24in / 60cm) suitcase that's durable enough to last a one-way flight with a plane change. Seeking cheap price and cheap quality. Both malls have items in that size for about 2900b. I'm looking to spend less.

Re: Chinese boy falls to death from Phuket rooftop pool
The parent has a responsibility to supervise children. In this case, short of putting the child on a leash, I wonder what else the parent could have done - kids are fast. The parent shouted, the boy turned and slipped. Parents have the responsibility to protect their children. A responsible one wou...

Re: Disposing of used batteries
It's at the west end of the ground floor. There is a Cafe Amazon just before glass doors into the car park. Out those doors, turn left and you'll see it.

Re: The Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency Thread
The lyrics of 'America the Beautiful' were taken from a poem written by a college English professor in 1893. Care to enlighten us about how the meaning in context of that phrase in 1893 applies to the current state of taxes on, and control of, cryptocurrency?

Having incremental backups in the paid version is a slight advantage, but not worth paying for. For me, their ReDeploy feature (their name for restores to different har...

Re: The Digital Surgery
Recently I mentioned in an email to a friend that I do a incremental backup of my C drive before installing any program. That drive has Windows and all my programs. With image verification it took 2m 50s. He wanted to know more. Thought what I wrote him would be useful to others. Windows System Imag...
