Adobe CS6 Student and Teacher Edition

thistle — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:17:09 +0800

Is it still being sold? I don't wanna use Creative Cloud version.

According to this thread The Network Hub is one of the distributors but when I contacted them, they said it's no longer being sold. Any other resellers?

Can we buy from design unis like LKW, Equator if we have student ID from elsewhere?

How to cancel plan after contract period ends?

thistle — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 23:28:37 +0800

I would like to keep my Celcom number but not use it. Postpaid won't have inactivity like prepaid, right?

How to cancel the data plan and pay 0 if I don't use at all? I can't even finish 1 GB quota because the supposed 512 kbps speed is like 15 kb/s in my housing area. Paying RM 48 a month for data I barely used.

Looking for .my domain renewal promo

thistle — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 12:32:38 +0800

Since there's no Merdeka domain promotion this year, I'm looking for a cheap domain transfer of .my domain. Are the free domain 'I Am Youth Starter Pack' (offered by the government) prices valid for transfer?

Chrome Google Malaysia instant search

thistle — Sat, 31 Aug 2013 15:55:16 +0800

I upgraded to Chrome beta and my search engine was reset to US Google.

Can anyone give me the search string of Google Malaysia with instant search from non-beta Chrome?

It's under Settings -> Search -> Manage Search Engines

Paste the search string here.

This is the search string I'm using. I think it's wrong because Google Instant doesn't work.

PosDaftar redelivery?

thistle — Thu, 16 May 2013 02:47:13 +0800

I bought a pendant from Groupon. I was out the day the postman attempted to deliver because I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon.

I read on some blogshops and auction sites that PosDaftar could do a redelivery. Will they do that? It's inconvenient for me because the item is now at Pejabat Pos Besar Pulau Pinang when there's a smaller post office nearer my house.

Ikea furniture delivery

thistle — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:20:54 +0800

My family wants to buy two sofas from Ikea. The delivery costs RM 900 for a 1 tonne lorry! It's even more expensive than the item itself!

Are there any affordable alternatives such as courier companies or lorry (logistics) services? Do couriers send large items such as sofas?

Domino's Pizza Malaysia App IPA

thistle — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 21:14:10 +0800

Can someone please provide the IPA?

https://itunes.apple.com/my/app/dominos-piz...d559728998?mt=8

I can't download cos I use the US App Store as it has a wider selection than Malaysia's.

Why don't we have a thread for IPAs of Malaysian apps for those who use other countries' App Stores? Stuff such as Maybank, Astro, TGV, etc.

Where to buy poster clip?

thistle — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:42:37 +0800

Alternative to using Blu-Tack. The kind for hanging on the wall without damaging the poster. There's a bottom part to weigh the poster down to prevent it from curling up. Something like this:

I just want to buy a few cheaply. Can't buy in bulk. Can I find them in bookstores? I want to use them to put up my fannish posters.

US address forwarding service

I want to buy a B&N Nook but am concerned about sending it back for warranty. Is there something like VPost that will forward it to Malaysia?

What's TMNet's IP range?

thistle — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 03:31:02 +0800

The admins of a forum tell me that they're blocking spammers and somehow my IP range was included in that list. I need to give them my IP range to be added to the white list.

Is there a whole list of Streamyx IPs? I found a few here, what are the other IPs?

Custom carrier logo

thistle — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:32:15 +0800

I'm using an iPhone 4 from Celcom on UMobile. The carrier name is umobile2G or UMOBILE3G depending on whether the area I'm in is a 3G coverage area.

I followed this tutorial but it doesn't work.

My carrier bundle folder is Celcom_my. I've already replaced the files and created new @2x files as well.

I even tried changing the carrier name to 'MY CELCOM' using MakeItMine to no avail.

AMD laptops

thistle — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:25:31 +0800

Which laptops with AMD processors are available in Malaysia? Some manufacturers like Dell make AMD laptops but they're only available in the US. Preferably not the budget models, please.

Can't boot into XP

thistle — Wed, 16 Mar 2005 00:11:57 +0800

I just installed Ubuntu, it's great but to my dismay I discover that I can't boot into XP. Help? I think it has something to do with the GRUB boot manager. Thanks!
