(WTB) DIY Burglar Alarm Control Panel/Parts

jzng89 — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 13:51:58 +0800

I'm planning to setup my own WIRED burglar alarm system and require parts, i.e

1. Sensors: PIR, vibration and magnetic sensors
2. Control Box
3. Keypads
4. Timers
5. Siren
6. Backup battery
8. All related accessories

Anyone know of shops supplying such equipment/service? I prefer if got one-stop centre for everything either in KL or Penang area.

Or anyone can recommend security companies (I estimate about 1500 for everything but all quotes so far hit 4k plus because of labour and GST and quoting high end controllers which I do not need)

Seberang Perai hotels

jzng89 — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 15:57:06 +0800

Hi all,

I have done quite a bit of research on places I could stay while I visit Penang and have found not many reviews on those smaller hotels on SP side of Penang. Anyone who could provide their experience with cheap accommodations near Bukit Mertajam area would be greatly appreciated.

The scoop:

So far I'm KIV-ing:
- Palm Inn Hotel BM (RM80+ for their cheapest room).
>> Looks good from the pictures and website but the most recent review I can find is 2012.

16 Signs That You Live In A Tyranny

jzng89 — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:35:44 +0800

Tyranny is an important phenomenon that operates by principles by which it can be recognized in its early emerging stages, and, if the people are vigilant, prepared, and committed to liberty, countered before it becomes entrenched. The methods used to overthrow a constitutional order and establish a tyranny are well-known. However, despite this awareness, it is surprising how those who have no intention of perpetrating a tyranny can slip into these methods and bring about a tyranny despite their best intentions. Tyranny does not have to be deliberate. Tyrants can fool themselves as thoroughly as they fool everyone else. Here are the top 16 signs that you are living in a tyranny or heading that way. Many thanks to Jon Roland for submitting this list (the original of which is here).

Signs 1 – 5

1. Control of public information and opinion: It begins with withholding information, and leads to putting out false or misleading information. A government can develop ministries of propaganda under many guises. They typically call it “public information” or “marketing”.

2. Vote fraud used to prevent the election of reformers: It doesn’t matter which of the two major party candidates are elected if no real reformer can get nominated, and when news services start knowing the outcomes of elections before it is possible for them to know, then the votes are not being honestly counted.

3. Undue official influence on trials and juries: Nonrandom selection of jury panels, exclusion of those opposed to the law, exclusion of the jury from hearing argument on the law, exclusion of private prosecutors from access to the grand jury, and prevention of parties and their counsels from making effective arguments or challenging the government.

4. Usurpation of undelegated powers: This is usually done with popular support for solving some problem, or to redistribute wealth to the advantage of the supporters of the dominant faction, but it soon leads to the deprivation of rights of minorities and individuals.

5. Seeking a government monopoly on the capability and use of armed force: The first signs are efforts to register or restrict the possession and use of firearms, initially under the guise of “protecting” the public, which, when it actually results in increased crime, provides a basis for further disarmament efforts affecting more people and more weapons.

Signs 6 – 10

6. Militarization of law enforcement: Declaring a “war on crime” that becomes a war on civil liberties. Preparation of military forces for internal policing duties.

7. Infiltration and subversion of citizen groups that could be forces for reform: Internal spying and surveillance is the beginning. A sign is false prosecutions of their leaders.

8. Suppression of investigators and whistleblowers: When people who try to uncover high level wrongdoing are threatened, that is a sign the system is not only riddled with corruption, but that the corruption has passed the threshold into active tyranny.

9. Use of the law for competition suppression: It begins with the dominant faction winning support by paying off their supporters and suppressing their supporters’ competitors, but leads to public officials themselves engaging in illegal activities and using the law to suppress independent competitors. A good example of this is narcotics trafficking.

10. Subversion of internal checks and balances: This involves the appointment to key positions of persons who can be controlled by their sponsors, and who are then induced to do illegal things. The worst way in which this occurs is in the appointment of judges that will go along with unconstitutional acts by the other branches.

Signs 11 – 16

11. Creation of a class of officials who are above the law: This is indicated by dismissal of charges for wrongdoing against persons who are “following orders”.

12. Increasing dependency of the people on government: The classic approach to domination of the people is to first take everything they have away from them, then make them compliant with the demands of the rulers to get anything back again.

13. Increasing public ignorance of their civic duties and reluctance to perform them: When the people avoid doing things like voting and serving in militias and juries, tyranny is not far behind.

14. Use of staged events to produce popular support: Acts of terrorism, blamed on political opponents, followed immediately with well-prepared proposals for increased powers and budgets for suppressive agencies. Sometimes called a Reichstag plot.

15. Conversion of rights into privileges: Requiring licenses and permits for doing things that the government does not have the delegated power to restrict, except by due process in which the burden of proof is on the petitioner.

16. Political correctness: Many if not most people are susceptible to being recruited to engage in repressive actions against disfavored views or behaviors, and led to pave the way for the dominance of tyrannical government.

Budget rent-a-car service anyone?

jzng89 — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:10:19 +0800

So, I'm planning a trip to KL and surrounding area and am planning to rent a car for two days (depending on price offered). Any suggestions on where or who I can call for budget car rental service?

I'm still a uni student with a valid license (more than 5 years, not a P driver) and would prefer a compact car, maybe kelisa or kancil for below RM90 a day for two days to get around.

Thanks guys!

Time broadband issues

jzng89 — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:15:36 +0800

Hello everyone,

My friend just subscribed to Time broadband NetLink 2Mb package and now she's having problems setting it up.

Not using the their modem, instead she bought a Dlink DSL 2640T AIO (modem+router+wireless). I've already searched through the forums and I see that a lot of poeple are also having the same probs.

Anyway, I've tried setting it up like how you would a normal Streamyx connection i.e using Dynamic PPPoE. Doesn't connect. Then tried using bridge mode, still fail to connect. They came and used their own modem and it seemed to work fine. But when using the Dlink one it won't work. (Dlink router tested and working in perfect condition and tried connecting both using WAN and WiFi)

In my search I've read that Time is using GSHDSL technology. Do you think she'll need to use a special modem that supports this technology? (if yes anyone can suggest one AIO that offers support for this tech)

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
