Re: GOOGLE+

Heard it will sink Facebook Yeah right. :roll: No chance from this camp, give Google more of my personal data so that it can target me with more advertising? I think it will always be in the shadow of FB, especially since Google only lets you register using your real name and real credentials, that...

Re: Hard disk data storage

Yes, you should have no problems doing that, I often copy across multiple operating systems and computers with no worries - the older, slower ones you need to leave for a while and go and have a cuppa while the files are copying.

Re: Storage

Thanni is a very good site for getting real (not inflated) hardware prices in Thailand. I'd agree with RC's point at keeping hard disks small, ie 2x1Tb instead of 1x2Tb, better for backup purposes. Regarding XP, it cant recognise anything above 2.1Tb, I believe FAT32 won't read/copy files larger tha...

Re: The iPhone thread

Any iPhone gurus out there can help me with this one ... iPhone 3G went for a swim, all dried out now and it powers up, shows the Apple logo and then goes into recovery mode and wants to connect to iTunes. Tried two PCs which failed, then plugged it into a Mac whereupon it started to download the la...

Re: Child Custody

Yes, it is possible to get sole custody of the kids under Thai law, but it is not easy. You need a very good lawyer who needs to prove that the mother is unfit to take care of them and it would be in the children's best interests to stay with the father. However if the father has been playing the fi...

Re: What Mobile Phone.....

Let me know if you find it Buksi, and where. :cheers: Haven't had time to go in there yet so still with the Nokia brick (which I might actually keep as its less hassle replacing it than a damn iPhone). The above recommendation looks good though, be sure to post your thoughts if you do get this phon...

Re: Thai Men. How do they think?

Its too easy to generalize on this thread, as Roel said, in an average Thai household where the father is working it doesn't happen as often as with some of the examples us farangs are more likely to see.

Re: How do you discipline a Thai Boy

How old is the boy? Punishment by food is far worse than any physical punishment from a Thai perspective, eating is right up there with praying! If our little 'uns misbehave to that extent they get sent to their room without dinner - then I get the silent treatment from the mrs for being such an ogre.

Re: Movies on DVD

Whats going on with the file sizes?

A DVD to AVI rip always used to be about 750-800Mb. Now they're all around the 1.4Gb which is pretty much double. I'm gonna need another hard disk at this rate! :roll:

Another observation is that the Veehd search function is utterly useless!
