Telco that you have to go to the station to call

manchild — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 19:52:44 +0800

I'm trying to remember a long time ago when handphone were just introduced there was this telco which you have to be in certain areas only before you can use the handphone. Can someone help me? I think there were signages to tell when you are in the telco area. I'm writing a paper on history of telcos. Thanks

Best Gambling Movies

Hi, I'm looking to watch some chinese gambling movies. Can someone recommend me the good ones. Preferably not too old so I can still get them at the DVD store. I prefer the drama ones where no one is sure who's got the hotter hand. Maybe year 2000 and above movies if possible. Thanks.

Stolen vouchers by user Godz

Forumer you are complaining against: Godz

Item being sold/bought: Italiannies and TGIF RM50 vouchers/bought RM 200 worth

Original thread link: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1197272&hl=

Date of transaction: 23/10/09

Details of the complaint : The items sold by the user Godz are stolen items. I have tried to use it at Italiannies the Curve and the manager there said they would not honour the vouchers because they were stolen!! He said the previous GM of Italiannies One Utama had stolen the vouchers from the company's safe to which he was later dismissed. Now, he is trying to sell the vouchers to LYN members. The manager informed me that the company has lodged a police report against this former employee. I hope LYN members are aware of this now so that we can stop the scam

2 questions

1. What is a good game for multiple players (not online) especially for family members plus kids?

2. If PS3 can connect up to 6 controllers, what happens to the display (TV)? Will it be divided into 6 segments e.g. racing games? If I only have a 32 inch TV will it be playable?

Thanks.

What Hifi and Astro

manchild — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 10:21:33 +0800

What Hifi gives recommendations for the best settings for TVs when the sources are DVDs but what about for Astro?

1. For DVDs I turn off the DNR, AI and other image enhancements.
2. I set the brightness and contrast as per recommended.
3. I adjust the colors with proven dvds like Dances with Wolves.

But what about Astro? How do I get the best picture quality. Do I need to turn off the image enhancements? What about the contrast and brightness and color. And when will Astro supply us with component inputs?

Streamyx tweaks

manchild — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:01:46 +0800

I have a serious problem guys. My boss' been slammin' me for weeks now to cure the office's streamyx problem. I can't stand it. Anyway, I've got the modem that tmnet supplies for free but I kinda lost the driver. I've also lost all the streamyx cds/drivers that they supplied.

My question is, how do I get my streamyx back online on a new computer my office just bought bcoz the old one went kaput. How do I get the drivers for the new pc. Can I get it online? I called tmnet but they said if they sent a rep it's gonna cost us 88 bucks! I can't explain that to the boss without getting my ass kicked.

Please help!!
