Need advice on cash and terminal bonus

heythorn — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:26:39 +0800

I'm currently on Great Eastern plan with cash bonus for since 1997 and have opted to leave cash bonuses with the company.

My questions are when I choose to withdraw all the accumulated cash bonuses and opt to withdraw future cash bonuses yearly,

Since I have no idea how cash bonus is derived:
Will it effect future schedule cash bonus payout?

And since I have no idea how terminal bonus is derived:
Will it effects future "projected" terminal bonus payout upon termination?

Much thanks..

Request advise on my GE Life insurance policy

heythorn — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:04:56 +0800

Dear Insurance experts,

I have this policy 10 years ago.. and have no idea what it is about. I never met the agent that gave me this policy (relative of relative).
Can anyone here has any detail bout this insurance policy.

MULTICARE - WHOLE LIFE WITH SPECIAL CASH BONUS
ACCELERATED EXTENDED TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY BENEFIT RIDER
WAIVER OF PREMIUM RIDER PLUS

My premium is 2K anually. I've checked the surrender value is less than half I've put in. Should I continue, switch or supplement it with another policy ?
I've done some reading, but the insurance lingo still confused me .

Regards

Wasted Postpaid balance

heythorn — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:58:10 +0800

I bet some of you postpaid users here have remaining balance to kill before expiry date...
So, any idea how to use up the remaining balance?

Possible to use the talk time to purchase anything?
Perhaps donate to charity instead of letting the telco gobble up the balance?

Help me locate the origin of this worm

heythorn — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 12:26:49 +0800

I got this virus called Worm.IM.Agent.G detected, it's the one that automatically create a copy of itself into every folder including network folders. The name of the created virus will be the same as the folder name it resides.

The problem is on the network, I have no idea which PC is infected.... because I can simply share a folder one of the uninfected PC... and the folder will be infected as well.

Is there a way to log or identify the PC that create the file on the shared folder by looking at the virus file properties?

Backup internet line

heythorn — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 21:08:51 +0800

Currently running TMNET SDSL with 1 static IP as primary line.
Intended to use Maxis HSDPA Wireless modem as backup line but it doesn't come with static ip, so the Exchange Svr will still be disconnected.
any recommendation of backup internet line with minimum probability that both primary and backup will go down together? It would serve no purpose if that happens rite?

Looking for mail server software for 100 users

heythorn — Mon, 21 May 2007 16:21:46 +0800

I'm looking for a mail server to host corporate emails of ~100 users.
From what I'm able to gather:

Domino/Exchange
- overkill for ~ 100 users
AltDaemon
- cheap alternative to Exchange
Scalix
- OSS on Linux

Any suggestion?

Need help on setting up Celcom 3G

heythorn — Tue, 08 May 2007 08:43:04 +0800

I just registered for a D120 line at Celcom dealer and was told the line will be activated on tomorrow. Well, I got myself a cheaper third party Merlin U630 datacard and plugged in on my notebook. No joy. It said it cannot detect the SIM card.
I assume that if the line is not yet activated, at least the SIM card will be detected by the datacard, am i right?
So, I plugged the SIM card into my Nokia 8250, and it complains cannot detect the SIM card. Hmm.. I wonder my trusty aged Nokia able to support 128KB SIM card.
Btw, will the SIM card be at least detected by a newer mobile phone?

Then, I plugged in my current Maxis 64K SIM card into the datacard, it's not detected too.

So any idea.. Should I return the SIM card, return the datacard or wait till tomorrow? The last option is unbearable
