Bumped threads

totally_skint — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:02:48 +0800

Just recently I noticed that my search results are no longer showing discussion threads that are bumped.
For example I'm looking for Canon cameras in the Compact & Prosumer/Garage Sales forum and can see old threads bumped to the top (indicating it's still active) but when I search for "Canon" I now only see threads that have recent postings in it and old postings that had been bumped is still buried deep down inside the pages at the date when it last received a message posting.

Can you reinstate the old search behaviour?

50% drop in broadband prices globally

totally_skint — Fri, 20 May 2011 00:51:29 +0800

50% drop in broadband prices globally over the past two years
But Malaysia bucks the trend.

Article in TechCentral

ITU

Note the excerpt from ITU's page.

QUOTE

In developing countries, fixed broadband prices dropped by 52%, compared to 35% in developed countries

I'm quite sure our prices dropped less than 35% so we must be more developed than developed countries.

Liquid Flux

totally_skint — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 14:52:42 +0800

Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question.

What are the different types of liquid fluxes available?
I saw one that was slightly yellow while the other was colourless.
The lady at the shop wasn't able to tell me the difference.
What are the difference between the two?

Second question:
Where can I get No-Clean Flux in KL?
Found some pen type No-Clean at Maplin but forgot to find out how old.

Free Wifi in Negeri Sembilan

totally_skint — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 19:46:13 +0800

NS government to offer free Wifi to the public and hopes to reach 70% broadband penetration.
The Star link
ns.gov.my

Why don't they emulate Melaka gov and make broadband affordable instead of free Wifi hotspot which we can already get at many places

The story on TechCentral
The comment on the bottom says it all.

On a more worrying note, I wonder if they will be monitoring your internet activity?

Streamyx RM20 package

totally_skint — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 21:02:52 +0800

Does Streamyx still offer RM20 for 30 hours?
I think it was called the Jimat Hebat package but can't find any reference on their website.
I think the price includes the phoneline.
