Brake Squeaking sound

Narako — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 17:32:09 +0800

Hey guys i changed brake like a while back, but now the brakes start producing a squeaking/screeching sound when i slow down to low speed.

But when i brake at high speed there is no sound. only when going to total stop.

I also didnt notice any difference in the braking performance though. or the difference is too little for me to notice

is that a sign of cheap brake pads? or any other reason why?

My car is a myvi 1.5.

China Post Registered Air Mail question

Narako — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:19:25 +0800

Sorry if posted in the wrong section.

Hi i bought some stuff from Aliexpress and they send using China Post Registered Air Mail which was free shipping.

It says it is sent to POS Malaysia.

So my question is when it arrives at POS Malaysia how would they send it?

As standard mail? POS Laju or smth else? or does it depend on the size of the goods?

Project Ara demo

Narako — Sat, 01 Mar 2014 09:49:25 +0800

Project Ara is only just getting started, with the first dev conference still over a month away, but we’re understandably excited about the sort of possibilities the project promises to offer. We have a long way to go before any of this starts approaching the phase were it might be ready for commercial deployment, but that hasn’t stopped Google (and Motorola before it) from sharing with us some images of its early design prototypes. At the Launch festival in San Francisco this week, Google’s Paul Eremenko took to the stage to talk a little about Ara and offer a demo of how the hardware might work.

We get to see how the Ara components populate the “endos” (endoskeletons) that will form the handsets’ backbones, as well as how the individual modules connect, using tiny magnets to stay in place. Eremenko makes a convenient comparison to the Play Store when describing how Google envisions the Ara ecosystem, where users can seek out just the components they need in order to give their phones the functionality they desire, much in the same way as how different users will install different sets of apps.

There’s also a functional prototype, but plans to show it booting didn’t quite come together, so all we get to see is a still image of the hardware. Still, Eremenko managed to bring along a single module, showing off how interchangeable cases could allow users to customize aesthetics independently of the hardware itself.

U.S. knows how alien can make us greener

Narako — Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:11:28 +0800

Somehow, freaky sci-fi movies don't seem to be favored by Oscar voters.

However, I think I may have found some subject matter that Peter Guber, the great Golden State Warriors owner and producer of "The Kids Are Alright," might want to get a budget behind.

Apparently, the United States already knows quite a lot about UFO technology. Apparently, there are secret "black ops" installations somewhere in--oh, I'm guessing Arizona--where new forms of energy have been created using technology that has been gleaned from those up there, rather than us down here.

Please, you know not to take my word for it. Hark the words of former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer. According to AOL News, Hellyer will be speaking this week at the International UFO Conference. (You will feel a chill to hear that this event is in Arizona too.)

Hellyer believes that humans have always fired on alien craft rather than attempt to approach their inhabitants and understand them. The aliens, he said in a previous speech in 2008, want to stop us from destroying ourselves.

In that speech, Hellyer declared: "Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after," he told the conference.

Planes were lost, he said, either because of retaliation or stupidity.

Hellyer insists he has seen UFOs. In his book, "Light at the End of the Tunnel," he said he also believes that the U.S. has a "shadow government" that has black ops installations that have already created new forms of energy using extra-terrestrial technology.

"I do not have proof of that," he told AOL News. "But I believe that they have developed energy sources, and publicly I'm saying that if they do not exist in commercial form, that extraterrestrials would certainly give us that information if we would ask them for it and stop shooting at them."

I am fascinated. What kind of new alien-inspired energy sources might have already been created? Might they have something to do with San Francisco Giants' pitcher Brian Wilson and his strange, constant companion, The Machine?

And is it possible that, some day, somehow, the aliens might be able to bypass our government's alleged reluctance to go public with its knowledge of our friends out there? Why, indeed, haven't these clever aliens spoken to us directly?

I see Liam Neeson as the scientist who finally persuades the government that aliens are friendly and want to help us become, well, greener. I see Maria Bello as his love interest, a fellow scientist who lures the president to a secret location (in Arizona) to affect a summit with a friendly alien being.

But who might play the leader of the aliens? My first instinct says Charlie Sheen. Boyish, friendly, vulnerable.

Studying

Narako — Sun, 26 May 2013 13:23:39 +0800

Studying can everyone do it? Is it just a matter of will power?

For example given enough time, dedication can anyone study and reach Harvard, MIT etc ?

or are we limited by our IQ, environment etc?

I would like to hear your inputs on this topic

I am aware that every universities have different selection process and requirements.
But what are the general chances to enter from the above stated Universities?
