Penang island pipu kam in pls

EsQue90 — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:17:16 +0800

if you're staying on the island i'm sure you'll be familiar with the Lim Chong Ewe Expressway.

now, my question: last year when they did road repair along the stretch in front Queensbay and Eastin, why didn't they fix the bridge part as well? (apologies as i don't know exactly how i should call that structure)

the stretch is still bumpy as fcuk
and people tend to slow down or even brake, causing danger to drivers following behind.

appreciate if anybody could provide justification why they leave out the bumpy part dowan repair.

Toddler incident in China shows 'volunteer's dilemma'

A security camera video of a toddler being run over twice on a street in China has swept across the Web in recent days and has drawn a chorus of horrified denunciations. How, we wonder, could so many passers-by have so callously ignored the girl's plight?

As humans, we are horrified when we learn that a person in distress is not helped, even when, as in this case, many potential helpers are present. Our horror increases if the person is victimized in a particularly vicious or careless way by fellow human beings. Our horror is further heightened when we learn that the victim is helpless and the kind of person who normally stimulates our instinct to aid and protect.

Our spontaneous reaction is to say: "Had I been there, I would have helped; what is wrong with these people?" If an incident occurs in a foreign country or culture, it is easy -- maybe tempting, as we grapple with something so baffling -- to conclude that the particular culture is to blame, that it is being callous, uncaring or egotistical.

It is true that cultural differences exist in many aspects of human behavior, and many of these differences are not trivial. But in the Chinese incident, in which the small child was gravely injured before someone finally carried her away, it would be too facile to think that apathy in the face of others' suffering is a signature of the local culture.

First, the public outcry and outrage within China was quite the same as what one would see in other countries. Second, there have been, of course, similar cases in other countries. Indeed, there was the torture and murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens, New York, in a 1964 street attack. Early reports, which may not have been entirely accurate, indicated that many people listened to or watched the attack and did nothing to stop it, and so a media blitz followed . Commentators asked: What is wrong with New York City, what is wrong with these times, and what is wrong with the particular neighborhood?

The incident spawned research on the so-called bystander effect: a set of brilliant experiments conducted by John Darley and Bibb Latané, who showed in their 1968 study that as the number of bystanders goes up, the probability of any individual bystander intervening goes down. This is so because each bystander is trying to solve a so-called "volunteer's dilemma." If everyone responds, the cost could be high and the volunteers might get in each others' way. It would be best if only one bystander responded, the thinking goes. If this is so, it is reasonable to ask who it will be and why it should be me.

Since the original experiments, many studies have explored the bystander effect. Recently, I was part of a research team brought together by Peter Fischer of the University of Regensburg, Germany. We surveyed the existing scientific literature and statistically integrated the findings from 105 data sets. We found that the bystander effect is quite robust, that it has declined somewhat in magnitude over time, and that there are certain conditions under which it disappears or is even reversed.

For example, in a situation in which several bystanders need to band together to overwhelm a perpetrator, they will be more likely to act collectively than to act alone. The heroic effort of the passengers on United Flight 93, which was suspected to be in line to strike a Washington target on 9/11/2001, comes to mind.

It is these extreme cases, the callous injury of a helpless toddler and the heroic revolt of ordinary people in the face of terrorism, that capture our attention. With a bit of luck, most of us will not find ourselves in such existential situations.

We must ask ourselves, however, how we will respond in more mundane situations that present us with fellow human beings who are in need. Will we help or hope that someone else will?

Dell Inspiron 1420 Fried GPU

EsQue90 — Thu, 20 May 2010 18:52:49 +0800

Hi all,

I think most of you would have heard of this issue with some Dell laptops that come with integrated GPU. The design of the cooling system for the chipset is flawed and it will cause overheating. Mine is an Inspiron 1420 with integrated NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.

Recently the inevitable happened, halfway thru using the computer, lines started showing on screen, followed by crashes that do not respond to any kind of input. After several repetition of these, the laptop totally fails to show any display upon system boot BUT can successfully go into desktop, with the welcome sounds and all that, just without display. Therefore, i think, my GPU is DEAD.

This happened -- 6 days after my warranty expired. Called up Dell and the extended warranty thing will cost me RM 965 for 1 year and RM 1300 for 2. Replacing the motherboard only, will also cost around RM 9++.

So i'd like to get some opinions on alternatives before i actually bleed my wallet to death.

1. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAYS TO SOLVE THIS?
2. Is there a way i can configure the system to bypass the graphics unit and just use whatever primitive graphics support that is originally available in the mobo?
3. Is external GPU adapter an option? (i've seen ViDock 2 at their website, but beyond my practical budget)

*i don't even know if i'm using the right terms to describe things, forgive me for being a noob in this
