  1. Hi astral

    Next time your on linux. Download an RPM named gyum or you could try synaptic. one of these should ease your problem by auto search and resolve dependency issues installing software.

  2. devildog + To appeciate

    one thai man i have come to appreciate is my wifes 17yr old brother. Any time a man in the village gives her sh*t, farang or thai, he makes them regret. He just beat the fcku out of her older brother (32-35?) for threatening to kill her with a knife

    Gun, knife....step back and re-evaluate who you want to know and appreciate devildog....

  3. What if it was..........for which faction and its final destination.

    Also 2003 thailand

    Dirty Bomb Materials Intercepted

    Tipped off by undercover agents of the US Customs Service, Thai police arrested Narong Penanam, age 44, outside a Bangkok hotel, after he offered to sell the agents a metal container he said contained uranium, for $240,000.

    Analysis revealed the material was cesium-137, which is not fissionable, and which has many medical/industrial applications. Cesium is considered usable as a "dirty bomb" ingredient, in which a conventional explosion is used to contaminate a large area with radioactive material.

    The defendant told authorities he had obtained the container from nearby Laos, and said his sources had more to sell. If thailands con-community play with this stuff, fake or otherwise. they should have read up on - terrorism act first.

  4. Driving Etiquette - Thailand

    The first rule of driving in Thailand is: Don't!

    The second rule is: Don't!

    The most incredible thing about driving in Thailand is that a people who are so lovely, friendly and forgiving turn into complete monsters when sitting in a car or complete idiots when sitting on a motorbike.

    Actually driving in Thailand isn't quite so bad as its reputation would have you believe, but it still is not to be undertaken by the faint of heart.

  5. Just another reminder for thailand residents

    Had a crazed cat trying to gain entry for along period to our property and others in the village this morning. Had to put it down to protect the children and further spread of its virus....

    This deadly disease is prevalent in Thailand. Rabies is a virus spread by bites and scratches from an infected animal. The main threat is to children who are ignorant of the disease and don't report an incident to their parents. Any warm-blooded pets are required to be vaccinated. The vaccine is cheap and available from ordinary veterinarians.

    If you are bit by any animal, you should immediately wash the wound, and then go to the local hospital. In Thailand, you should go to the Rabies Unit or Thai Red Cross Society, you should also take note of the animal that bit you so that there can be an attempt to confine and observe it, or as i did to protect a further spread if it is crazed...

  7. ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

    Was a rumbling, a mumbling that Santa’s a louse!

    “Santa’s not real!” says your eight-year-old sage

    Well, what do you say in this Internet age?

    Don’t tell him to listen, just ask him to sit

    And watch the computer as you navigate it

    If your kids are anything like mine, you’ve already heard outbursts like this from my son, “Ian’s big brother says Santa’s a fake!” These blasphemous rumors going around grade school would break your heart. No such thing? How can the words spill out of kids too young to remember a world without the web?

    Help is but a click away! There’s a government organization that will save your credibility and the faith of your little ones. It is none other than NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, a joint United States/Canadian mission based within Cheyenne Mountain, in Colorado. They’ve been tracking Santa since the mid-50’s, first with Radar, and now using their state of the art satellite systems. Rudolf’s bright red nose emits what they call “a phenomenal infrared signature” that makes their job easier. Since 1997, Santa’s nighttime mission has been accessible via the web (noradsanta.org). Just imagine, this Christmas Eve your kids can be bouncing around the house screaming Santa’s coordinates as he makes his way around the world. “Mom, Santa just flew over the house

    Deputy Director of NORAD public affairs, Major Douglas Martin, the man in charge of Santa Tracking. This jolly Canadian admitted, “Yes, it’s the favorite part of my job, very rewarding…it touches the lives of so many.” He’s not joking. Last year they had 294 million hits from sixty countries and fielded 27,000 phone calls from eager kids. This year, Major Martin has obtained help from ex-Beatle, Ringo Starr. Was it was tough to persuade him to help? “Ringo and Santa are close personal friends,” Martin confirmed, “Santa had put a call through ahead of me.” And so Ringo was only to eager to oblige. In a radio interview Martin shared with me, Ringo remains true to his Beatles days, “The great greeting is for peace and love all over the world,” he said. On Christmas Eve, Ringo Starr will operate the SantaCam to capture images of Santa flying over Thailand

    Like many inspired ideas, NORAD’s Santa Tracking started by accident. In 1955, a local store advertised a Santa Hotline inviting kids to call. However the phone number was mistyped. It connected kids instead to the Commander in Chief’s operations hotline. Colonel Harry Shoup took the first call from an excited child and thanks to his quick wit, said that they were checking radar data and could locate Santa’s route from the North Pole. A Christmas tradition was born and has continued every year to this day.

    Type http://www.noradsanta.org and soon you will find

    A renewing of faith and a changing of mind

    Your kids, they will sit there and glow with delight

    As they watch dear old Santa fly through the night

    From Thailand to Moscow, from Bombay to Rome

    They’ll see Santa speed by on route to your home

    These guys in the mountain, so clever, so quick

    They’ve got Santa covered from Shanghai to Brunswick

    Ringo Starr is on board, to help out the crew

    And watch the night sky over Thailand, it’s true!

    Ringo’s our hero for adding his cheer

    He’s a great pal of Santa and all his reindeer

    No longer will anyone grumble or grouse

    Now that Santa’s as real as the click of their mouse

    On the night before Christmas all parents must shout

    “Three cheers to great NORAD! Good job, you're far out!”

    believe it kid's, Santa is real

  8. Curfew again....great

    High world oil prices now reduce the production of synthetic rubber, and a curfew also imposed in south muslim locations......should increase the price for plantation owners outside south - good news for them.

    If they (2000 muslim youths) want to play with the thai security forces....silly boys...the guns were nicked. They should have allowed the legal system to close this mess for the men detained, not form a 2000 strong killing posse for the sake of religion. They should learn from it next time they try to steal weapons.

  9. What is the point of a report like this, except scare-mongering.

    I walk your path the same on this story.....Sounds like a bad and well-timed case of political disturbance/disruption against the TRT...Such a change would put the country into an unbearable position for much of thailands people...Mr Thanawat Polvichai is sturring a big pot with this analyst.

  10. Maybe this will interest a few people.....

    Hackers on Tuesday attacked a Web site of a group thought to have beheaded hostages in Iraq, rerouting visitors to a page showing a penguin toting a machine-gun and warning against hosting such sites.

    The Web site of the Tawhid and Jihad Group of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an ally of al-Qaida, carried video of British hostage Kenneth Bigley appealing for his life and videos of the decapitation of the two U.S. hostages. The group's site is hosted by a provider of free Web hosting.

    "Host them and your next!" was the message left on the site by the hackers. The hackers, who call themselves "TeAmZ USA," have already attacked several Islamist and pro-al-Qaida Web sites.

    Al-Qaida and other militant groups have widely used the Internet to spread their message, often using free Web hosting providers and frequently moving to other hosts after their sites have been taken down.
