Hauppage MCE 150

powerfulcool — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:57:23 +0800

Hey peeps, im setting up an HTPC for my boss. i get the extra income, and i enjoy setting pc up - it's a hobby. but this is going to be my first dedicated HTPC setup. id like him to use MCE to watch astro so he could record and rewatch - that would be impressive to him.

so my question is:

1. is the Hauppage MCE 150 obsolete for a standard definition ASTRO? is there a better card out there?
2. how much is the Hauppage MCE 150?
3. is the EPG still available? astro has not bloacked 3rd party users from using their EPG right? (link shows an old guide to get EPG to work on MCE... but its old, i wonder if it is outdated... http://www.terencey.net/blog/?p=65)

thanks

couple seat with privacy

powerfulcool — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 23:07:09 +0800

hey peeps

i can be a lil naughty when im on a couple seat (or not) with my gf.... my experience with couple seats have been mixed, and i dont keep track of the ones that were "good"

good in my book = privacy and comfort.

the one i had in wangsa maju was the absolute best, RM15 x2 (normal seat RM13), it was actually a large 1 seat so there's no gap between the couple. plus at the sides the have this plastic that angles inward so you are provided with and even more privacy.. plus great leg space

i dont condone romancing in the cinema, but if ure going to do stuff anyway, it's best to do it at a place with more privacy.

anyway, share you experiences

1. wangsa maju. RM30, 1 large seat, no gap, extra privacy mechanism, great leg space

Wild monkey shot dead by Wildlife official

Malaysian Macaque monkeys can become aggressive when in search of food or mates

A baby in Malaysia has died after being snatched from home by a monkey which bit then dropped her from the roof.

The four-day-old girl was sleeping in the living room of her home in the central Malaysian state of Negri Sembilan when a macaque monkey entered.

The baby had been briefly left alone. Wildlife officials said the monkey was probably in search of food.

Wildlife officials said it was the first case of an attack by wild monkeys on a human in the state.
Alarmed

The mother, 26-year-old V Revathy, had left the baby to go to the bathroom and the baby's grandfather had gone to get a glass of water.

"We frantically searched all over the house and saw her body covered in blood lying outside the house," the child's grandfather A Valayutham told the Star newspaper.

The baby also had serious bite and scratch marks.

Wildlife and national parks director Ishak Muhamad said his staff had later caught and shot a monkey believed to have been responsible for the attack.

"We suspect the macaque was rummaging for food inside the house. It could have taken the baby to the roof thinking the newborn was food," he told the daily newspaper.

"The baby died when it fell to the ground. The monkey had apparently released the newborn, probably because it was alarmed by the parents' shouts," Mr Ishak said.

The area where the family live has many trees where macaque monkeys have made their home.

"She was our bundle of joy and we were looking forward to spending many happy years with her... I just cannot believe she's gone," said baby's father, V Neru, 29, who was not at home when the incident occurred.

MLM and Insurance people

powerfulcool — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 23:45:05 +0800

due to the nature of MLM that is not beneficial to the "customers", why do people pun them in the same boat as insurance agents?

sure, they are quite the pest, but insurance agents arent really cheating you, no?

i guess im a little naive, but what's so bad about an insurance?
