Hey guys,

There's "DIPLOMA IN DESIGN AND MEDIA" in APPIT(or APU?) and "Diploma in Interactive Multimedia with Animation Design" in INTI subang. I'm trying to choose between these two. Which university is better in terms of teachers, management, facilities, syllabus and credibility?

Any help is appreciated

Is it fair to charge RM53 for just checking?

alFReD NSH — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 12:43:23 +0800

So my phone wasn't turning on, I went to this shop and asked them what could be wrong with it. Then the guy took the battery out and connected it to the device(something like a DC power supply), which then my phone work, then he told me it was the battery. Which then I said I don't want a new battery because my current battery has a warranty. Then they said I would be charged RM53 for checking.

Do you guys think it was fair?

I would be fine if it was RM10, or even RM20 would be a little expensive, but 50 is like over the limit.
A doctor visit in a clinic is cheaper... My motorcycle got repaired on the road with just RM30.

The shop is "V-V SHOP (M) SDN BHD". It's located in kl sentral station, in front of LRT station, lot FL-11.

Which motorcycle comprehensive insurance?

alFReD NSH — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 14:26:44 +0800

Hello everyone,

I have to renew my insurance in a few days but no idea what are the available options. I have a 2010 Yamaha Lagenda 110Z. Last year I had Allianz. I had an accident and it took them 2 months to process the claim. Though it could also be the workshop fault, but in their estimate they told me 3 weeks.

So what do you suggest? Any company that can process claim faster? Any exprience on claiming insurance? How long did it take?

Also plus points, if they have towing service or road repair.

Also does it make a difference to get the insurance from post office or agent? Can the agent claim faster than the workshop?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

legality of localbitcoins.com in Malaysia

alFReD NSH — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 19:30:23 +0800

In case if you don't know localbitcoins.com please check first: https://localbitcoins.com/country/MY

In localbitcoins.com we can buy/sell bitcoins from people and not exchanges. This method can be a more anonymous than buying from exchanges because then you won't be having paying from your bank account or credit card. You can meet people and pay by cash or deposit money into their accounts anonymously. The question is from Malaysia's anti-money-laundering and money changer/exchanges laws standpoint, is this legal?

How can we do it legally?

I do know that transactions above 5000RM will be checked for money-laundering.

Which phone will work best for me?

alFReD NSH — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 01:02:33 +0800

I want to buy a phone which I can run native linux programs on it and can do multitasking(like opening several terminals at once).
I already found N900 which has Maemo 5 on it which can do above. I can also install ubuntu on it, too.
I've heard that I can also install Ubuntu on android devices.
What is the best phone for me? N900 with Maemo? or with Ubuntu? or any other android device with ubuntu?
Do I have any other options?
And having a keyboard, touchscreen, wireless lan are needed, too. The camera or things like that are not much important.
By the way, I don't have any problem with bying phones out of stock(like N900).

How to create this object in javascript?

alFReD NSH — Fri, 27 May 2011 19:10:01 +0800

I'm writing a script in javascript(actually a chrome extension) and I need an object that I can write to it like this(sorry, don't know how to explain it better) and then I convert it to string with format of json.

id[3].weekDay[6].hour[2] = 0

The id indices are unlimited, for weekDay 7 and hour 24.

I searched in google but i couldn't find what I wanted. Actually don't know the best keyword to search.(objects in arrays?)
