Slot cars

Hi all,

I've been looking for a topic regarding slot car. My search only found one mention from one user. I wonder if this is really not popular here in Malaysia.

I only know one place selling slot car set that is in Nikko MidValley. Only a few sets available. There used to be a shop in Hartamas Shopping Centre selling slot cars too. They even had a huge track in front of the shop. But when I went there again, the shop is no longer there.

Anybody here has the set or car?

Hi all,

I'm trying to install a *.msi file. However, I am met with an error prompt "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation".

- I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
- I have Windows Installer 4.5 installed
- I have set Local HKEY DisableMSI to 0

What do I need to do in order to get this task done?

Thank you.

Hi all,

Being a new user, I tried to register into the MyMug forum. However, the activation email never arrived. It is not even in the spam folder. I thought I typed my email wrongly, so I registered a new one. It is still the same. Anybody in the MyMug forum here? Can you please forward this matter to any admin or moderator there? Thank you

Not answering expected salary directly

Hi all,

I would like to get your opinion here. Most of the time, employers will request applicants to state their current and expected salary. Normally, people will mark up their expected salary since that is among the reasons why you want to change job. This is very easy if the job is directly related or in the same line. For example, when you are a programmer in Company A with RM2000, you might put the expected salary for a programmer's position in Company B as RM2500.

But what if you plan to do a career change? Which is not directly related. Definitely you would still want a higher salary but, how high? How to gauge? We do not want to sell ourselves short neither do we want to jeopardize any chance (if there is any, at all) of getting the job.

Can we not answer the expected salary directly? How would this reflect on our application?

Any idea to this?
