Most Banana cities in the Klang Valley

MikeLeo — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 21:44:00 +0800

For those who do not know, banana means those who are chinese but do not speak or write Mandarin.

I think Damansara (PJ Side) have a lot of banana. Subang Jaya is most probably the same, lots of banana.

Meanwhile in Cheras (KL Side) have lots of Chinese Ed, probably because of the Chinese Independent School nearby.
Cheras (Selangor Side) also probably the same.
Not sure about other town.

Discuss.

Hello, I just passed my license. I am a new rider with no experience on the road.

I bought this modem last year (DEC). I plug in to the pc and set my internet. There is a problem, after a few days I loss my internet connection, I need to reset my internet setting to get it running again. It always happens. If I use a lot of usage. it will disconnect earlier. f I rarely use my internet, it will not disconnect early.

I think is my modem setting quota, like can only use 100GB or 50GB, but I don't know how to adjust it.

I am the skinny type

Calf

MikeLeo — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:56:49 +0800

I notice that majority Chinese calf look big and fat compare to other races. Even a skinny boy or girl have big calf. I thinking this is genetic, but the question I want to ask is, what cause the calf to be big? Most of the Chinese with big calf are normally short whereas most of them with small calf is taller. Is it fat? muscle? epidermal layer or what?

I not sure where to post this since this is more on science subject but I just want to know to fulfill my curiosity and as knowledge.

Is there any other way to unlock those bios? or I have to upgrade the pc(which I need $$$$$)??? I don't mind voiding the warranty(cause it is 4 years old pc, no more warranty).

Polarized vs. Active Shutter 3-D

MikeLeo — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:58:01 +0800

Passive glasses only provide 1920x540 to each eye (provided the image is 1920x1080)
Therefore it does not have Full HD 3D

but in some articles, they said that when each eye see 1920x540, your brain will form Full HD image.

Quote

QUOTE

Next, while tackling the topic of whether FPR’s “half-resolution” passive 3D provides lower-quality imagery than active 3D, Soneira discovered a surprising result: despite using “just” 540 horizontal lines for each eye, passive 3D still provided “full 1080p” resolution — and better yet, rather unintuitively, passive 3D produces sharper images than active 3D. Soneira gives a complex explanation for why this is so, but it basically boils down to a neurological process called image fusion, or, in other words, “active 3D TVs might sound like they have higher specs, but in practical use, our brains prefer passive 3D.”

The problem is not all article mention about this. This does not answer my question.

Any sifu, please help

THX.
