A peaceful night in a haunted hotel room

ekompute — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 22:05:24 +0800

"If you don't feel good the moment you step into a hotel room, always request for a change of room immediately. If you don't change room, you will surely continue to feel edgy." -- Night Hotel Manager

This is a true story of my experience at a hotel room in one of the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia.

Church Symyrna cured herself of diabetes

ekompute — Tue, 27 May 2014 00:33:29 +0800

FINALLY A NATURAL CURE FOR DIABETES THAT'S WORTH TRYING!!!

Church Symyrna was having 2 pills and 2 insulin jabs twice a day. She decided to do some research on her own to cure herself of diabetes and she managed to cure herself!!!
Although her cholesterol level was within healthy limits, she found out that the cause of diabetes is due to the clogging of the insulin receptors by DENSE LARGE-PARTICLE CHOLESTEROL. Her prescription? Juice cleanse to unclog and open her insulin receptors! Worth trying, isn't it?... since it doesn't cost a bomb. The discipline part is the problem, hahaha.

Should one remove the dry crust or scab that is formed, as an abrasion begins to heal?

Linux for Mac

ekompute — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 17:53:57 +0800

Hi, I have an old iMac that presently cannot run YouTube because the original OS software is outdated. I am thinking of installing Linux for Mac. With just one hard disk, do I have to delete the original iMac operating system? As the original disc for the operating system has been misplaced, what I am worried is that I may end up neither here nor there.

Like and Dislike button

ekompute — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 17:48:39 +0800

Hi, would it be possible to have a 'like' and 'dislike' button, like Intense Debate, just like in the comments section in the below link? That will give commenters a feel of how their comments are received by the community.

The shape of what computers will be like tomorrow

ekompute — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 05:30:01 +0800

This is what computers will be like in the near future but I bet it will not be the end. To me, the end is when you can 'watch' a movie with 2 wires attached to your skull so that you can experience it with all your 5 senses.

Facebook account has been temporarily locked

ekompute — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 01:59:28 +0800

Hi, I have my Facebook account temporarily locked for 24 hours, twice in a row. The Facebook message says:

"Your account has been temporarily locked because we have detected malicious software on your computer. Malware is malicious software that tries to access your personal information, slows your connection, and could cause other problems when you use Facebook. Your computer can become infected with malware when you click or share spammy links."

Does anyone here have this problem before? I cleaned my computers so many times but just now, when I tried to link Free Malaysia Today to Facebook, I got locked out again!

Windows Live Movie Maker cannot start

ekompute — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:22:13 +0800

Hi, I haven't been using my Windows Live Movie Maker for a few months and recently, I find that it cannot start. The notice says:

QUOTE

Sorry, Movie Maker can't start. Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements before trying to start Movie Maker again, and then try to update the driver for your video card if Movie Maker still doesn't start.

Can't be that it meets minimum system requirements just a few months back and now it doesn't meet. I have also updated by NVDIA graphic driver and my Intel driver, so what could be the cause now?

Pesky AdYieldManager and Others

ekompute — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:12:17 +0800

Bloody malware and adware. I tried Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware, Anvi AD Blocker, Anvi Smart Defender, IObit Malware Fighter... and it says no threats detected. Yet I see this and AdYieldManager all the time...

Anyone has found a good free anti-malware and anti-adware software or if it is paid, which is the best for the lowest price possible?

Value-for-money 1.6L car

ekompute — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:40:22 +0800

Hi, what do you all suggest would be a good 1.6L brand-new car in Malaysia that is not Proton. Would it be a Korean car or a Perodua car?

How to show latest post at the top of each thread

ekompute — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:35:17 +0800

I don't seem to be able to find the setting to change the presentation so that the latest replies are at the top of each page... I went to Board Setting but can't find anything there that will allow me to do so. I believe it can be done. How can I do that?

How do I know if my post is deleted?

ekompute — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:22:08 +0800

Hi, I was just wondering how to know if my post has been deleted by the moderator, or I had failed to post successfully? I previewed a post earlier but cannot remember whether I did press the "post" button after that. I cannot find the post.

A Sad Heart Sings

ekompute — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 04:37:26 +0800

I remembered watching a German movie called "A Sad Heart Sings" in 1973. I love that song very much but have not been able to find any materials, either on the movie or the song, in the internet. Does anyone know of this movie? It's the story of a small boy whose two parents died of an automobile accident. The boy was sent to his grandfather who initially disliked the boy because he had not the approved of his parents' marriage. The movie shows how the grandfather eventually became endeared to the boy, a kind of To Sir With Love story.

The world of cyberspace is indeed amazing. A young ordinary 22-year old Malaysian girl proves that she can outbeat Mahathir and Lim Kit Siang in the world of blogging. Alexa ranks Hanis' blog at inibelogsaya.blogspot.com at 109,514 today. Compare this ranking with Mahathir's chedet blog at 147,017 and Lim Kit Siang's blog at 253,948. While one can jump to the conclusion that a beautiful face helps in blogging, one cannot discount the fact that a beautiful face alone is not enough.
