rockets — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 12:15:24 +0800

But with rubbish service like this how?? If downtime 1 or 2 hour ok la, this stupiak bank for 3 days I have been trying to transfer money to pay my loans all stuck in their lagging piece of shit website.

RM1k Deepavali hamper..

rockets — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 13:46:10 +0800

No meat, no alchohol. I'm struggling to fill up the hamper basket to make it worth RM1000 as a gift to a loyal customer.

Any suggestions?

So far I'm thinking expensive chocolates.

Gave my name and IC away to a scammer on phone.

rockets — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 19:25:39 +0800

Can they do anything with just my name and IC number?

Never thought i would fall for any scams, but this time really kena lol.

They called me on my phone and it showed 1300300300 number. I have called that number before and remember its poslaju hotline number.

Picked it up, then an automated voice told me there is an unclaimed registered letter for me. At the end, told me to press 0 to speak with an operator.

So i pressed 0.

A malay lady picked up and asked how she can help me.

I told her i just got a call from them telling me i have an unclaimed letter.

She asked me for my name and IC to check, and i gave her.

After a few seconds, she said i have a surat from makamah.

I then ask how to get the surat.

Line cut off.

Only then it hit me that it might be a scam, so I googled around and indeed it is a scam.

Google 1300300300 surat makamah and you'll see similar people talking about this scam.

SO yea, should i be worried they got my name and IC number?

Car accident "Keputusan" take how long?

rockets — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:56:25 +0800

My friend's car got rammed from behind yesterday. He went to make police report a few hours after that and according to the sargan the other guy didn't make report yet.

My question is,

1) How long need to wait for the "keputusan" if the other party didn't lodge a report?
2) Should he wait for the "keputusan" before sending it to the workshop?
3) If send to workshop, will they help you with chasing the "keputusan" from the sargan?
4) If he's claiming OD-KFK can the repairs start without the "keputusan"?

My friend needs the car for work asap, but he deosn't have the money to pay for repairs first. I see him damn stress liao with all the waiting.

Strength imbalance between left and right arm

rockets — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 14:58:23 +0800

My left arm can lift less compared to my right arm. i've been trying to lift more on my left hand to try and balance it out but so far it hasn't helped. it's about 10-20% weaker if i were to put it in numbers. when i'm doing double hander stuff i can feel my stronger arm is doing more work to compensate, leading to my left side getting weaker and weaker. is there a proper way to fix this?

Car clamped in shopping mall

rockets — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 16:31:18 +0800

i was at carrefour last night and my car got clamped for parking in some dumb spot although i wasn't blocking anyone. Is it possible to argue your way out of this and will they just give you a warning at the office when you go to them for unlock? cause the security told me it would be rm100 if i went to the office, so i didn't go to the office at all but bribed the security rm20 and he unlocked it . now i'm wondering if the rm20 was necessary at all.

anyone with similar experience getting clamped in shopping complexes? i wonder how strict they are at enforcing the fine.

RM500 tax relief for broadband subscribers

rockets — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:44:14 +0800

QUOTE

"Tax relief on broadband subscription fee up to RM 500 a year from 2010 to 2012."

So...its 2010 now, anyone know how this works?

If i'm not wrong, lets say someone makes rm5000 and he is a broadband subscriber, only rm4500 gets taxed because of the rm500 relief?

Domain question.

rockets — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:58:14 +0800

I want to know if there are any advantages in using a .com.my compared to .com domain when someone is searching on google for a product in Malaysia. For example, someone googled "cars malaysia", between cars.com and cars.com.my, which will be more favored by the search engine with everything else being equal.

Just curious if the .my extention will help with searches at all. Thanks.

i wonder if our 2009 license will be tranferable to 2010 once it is out, like what kaspersky is currently doing.

Nanotechnology

rockets — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:11:14 +0800

I know we're still in the early stages of this particular technology, but scientists have made predictions that nanotechnolgy will change human lives forever. We'll never be hungry again, we'll never be sick, our wounds grow back in a second, and we'll never get old. If you've ever played the Metal Gear Solid series, you'll have an idea what nanotechnology is, in this case how nanobots produced through nanotechnology can create the ultimate soldier.

"Nanotechnology, shortened to "Nanotech", is the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from novel extensions of conventional device physics, to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, to developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale, even to speculation on whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale."

"With the advent of full-scale nanotechnology in the 2020s we will have the potential to replace biology’s genetic-information repository in the cell nucleus with a nanoengineered system that would maintain the genetic code and simulate the actions of RNA, the ribosome, and other elements of the computer in biology’s assembler. A nano-computer would maintain the genetic code and implement the gene-expression algorithms. A nanobot would then construct the amino-acid sequences for the expressed genes.

There would be significant benefits in adopting such a mechanism. We would eliminate the accumulation of DNA transcription errors, one major source of the aging process. We would also be able to defeat biological pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells) by blocking any unwanted replication of genetic information."

"Kurzweil notes earlier in the book how nanobots would do a better job of getting oxygen to cells than the biological solution (red blood cells), and in the following paragraphs, suggests how we could redesign the cells themselves to be mostly immune to pathogens."

The possibilities are endless with such technology. Lets look at some of the issues the world is currently facing that can drastically shorten our lifespan and could be solved by nanotechnology.

Diseases, namely cancer. Nanobots could enter the human body and destroy the cancer one cell at a time.

Hunger. Nanobots could turn a rock into something edible by rearranging it's atomic structure and by introducing some other common elements into it.

Dirty air. Nanobots could peel the Carbon from the C-O2, and we'll have our breathable O2.

Human Flaws. War, anger, evil intentions, etc. Nanobots can trigger or suppress certain parts of your brain to control your emotions and thinking. You'll always be able to control your anger and fear. You'll be a flawless human, somewhat like the people in Gattaca if you've watched that movie.

I believe if we ever get this perfected, I'll be something that will change humans forever. Nanotechnology is at the ladder of science that will branch into infinite possibilities.

SSH tunneling getting throttled?

rockets — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:14:12 +0800

It seems like SSH tunneling is getting throttled now also. I've noticed lately my ping is parallel with the amount of data the game using. The higher amounts of data the game uses the higher the ping goes and it seems to cap at around 50kpbs, any higher i'll get disconnected.

I did a test with a bandwidth monitoring tool in my router, here are the results:

Servers(gamepath) tested gate0,1,4,7.

Using command prompt ping to servers = 210-230ms

Empty area in game, 2kbps = 220-250ms
Dalaran, 5-20kbps = 250-350ms
25 man raiding, 10-40kbps = 250-400ms
4 horseman, over 50kpbs = disconnect
WG, over 50kbps = disconnect

Yup, it seems like they hard capped SSH tunneling also, probably to stop rapidshare abuse. Guess we're collateral damage .

Creating Invoice using Words with data from Access

rockets — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:25:53 +0800

I tried making Invoice printouts straight from Access but the formatting is just terrible. I'm wondering if it's possible to make Access output the data I want to Words. Anyone know how this is done? I know this is doable using VB but I don't have this software at home.

How to make a 1-port modem accessible

rockets — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:19:29 +0800

Here's my setup:

modem -> router -> PC

Modem has only 1 port and is in bridge mode, basically it's only there to sync the dsl line. Router deos the PPPoE, NAT, etc. Problem is from my PC I can't see my modem anymore so I can't access the GUI console when I would like to.

Right now I borrowed a switch from a friend and i can access it with this setup: modem -> switch -> router -> PC. But I don't want to be relying on a switch for this. Is there anything I can do make my modem accessible again like with some advanced routing? I tried tweaking alot of stuff but modem is still not showing up on my PC.

note: everything is running fine, can connect to the internet etc, just that I can't enter my modem. Before anyone suggests, no I don't want to run the modem as gateway or even half bridge.

Is Warhammer still going strong?

rockets — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 08:09:28 +0800

The game has been out for almost 2 months, I'd like some honest opinion from players whom have played since beta or early release - How's the game doing so far? Is the game getting better(in terms of population, overall interest, and game mechanics) or losing steam already? I read the forums in warhammeralliance.com and it seems like most of the people are complaining all kinds of stuff, but we all know it's the same for every game so I'm not going to judge the game based on that. Afterall if you're happy with the game you'd be playing instead of writing good stuff about it - well mostly .

I enjoyed beta but didn't pick up the game during release as I was taking a break from gaming in general. I kinda had a feeling the end game would be lacking based on the information I had at that time - things like endless renown grind, small landmass(the game just feels much smaller compared to DaOC if you've played that), keeps you worked hard for too easy to ninja unless you guard them 24/7, classes not balanced, and the biggest problem of all - population imbalance(nothing like getting rolled when you're outnumbered 3:1). So was I right or wrong about these things?

Hopefully can get some opinion from level 40's .

PC Power and Cooling PSU

rockets — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:35:40 +0800

my bro's PC Power and Cooling PSU broke, anyone know where in Malaysia can RMA this?

he bought this quite long ago from Singapore and the shop only give 1 month warranty, but the PSU has 3 years warranty from manufacture.
