(silly) question about steering

skippro — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 04:33:19 +0800

Hi there, just got one of those baseball-shaped steering lock which is pretty heavy. When locking it according to the illustration by its position at 1 and 7 o'clock (diagonal), its weight is putting a bit of down force on the steering wheel, so im just wondering would it hurt the steering/eps on the long run? Thanks

Added to warn level 3 days off for trolling in Serious Tagged Topic:
Don't Throw Your Babies Away. Give Them to Me. (Serious Talk)

It was my intent to visually warn the public about handing their babies out to strangers, who might not be what they seem on the internet. There are other users too, who questions the intention of the TS and 'his men' on that topic. I'm not saying TS is a bad person but its better to err on the side of caution. Having said that, i don't think the serious tag is warranted at all.

asstro decoder gives electric shock

skippro — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:23:07 +0800

Astro decoder is the culprit, which also affects the tv and laptop (via vga port) to become conductive. But im really wondering, in the long run will this shorten the lifespan of the equipment, notably the LCD TV, and astro decoder, etc.? TIA

Charges imposed for services not wanted

RECENTLY, there was a TM notice in the newspaper that requested its subscribers to submit a form if they do not want their details to be published in the TM directory.

Since I am a home user, I do not see the need to publish the details for public consumption and requested for my details to be omitted.

To my surprise, TM would be charging me RM25 annually for keeping the information private, and if I do not submit the form, which means I allow TM to publish my details, they would charge me RM10 annually.

How could charges be imposed for services I do not want? Life is hard as it is for the rakyat with the bus and taxi fare hikes.

I sincerely hope TM can waive the charges for subscribers who do not want this service.

new floor filled with old brick & debris?

skippro — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:59:22 +0800

contractor say this is not unusual?? im doing extension of kitchen, so outer floor was lower (so need to make it higher to even out, if u get me) They hack the old wall etc, & they use broken wall brick old tile & other rubbish/dirt/worker spit as filler. Ewww. 'Con' traktor even say its better than using just sand. grrrrr. So my question is; is this usual practice & whether there would be problems in the future with this arrangement. if so, what is better to fill floor with? also if use contraktor method, will virus/bacteria seep up the floor tile??

For me all 4 sites above give speed less than 25kb/s. Downloading from adobe is slow too but i didnt put that up cos u need to signup before downloading. Apple.com trailers seems to be full speed. Download from yahoo slow as well.
