  2. Finding Flights

    in Technology

    Posted

    I thought we had this discussion already? Your boyfriends site was mentioned, plus one by Waerth and the Google site.

     

    Frankly I use them all, plus check with certain direct flights.

     

    Depends where you want to go.

     

    Within S E Asia, I use Vietnam and Thai airlines as major carriers a lot, then for low cost solutions I also use Air Asia, Tiger, and very rarely Jet Star,

     

    Within Thailand just about exclusively Nok Air, as you can book on line and pay in cash, which is pretty cool.

     

    Emirates is good as you can register for special deals.

     

    I am keen to use Turkish Airlines, but can't seem to get their online system to work.

     

    Cathay is a very good on line solution, but wrong connection for me except the Bkk - SIN - BKK leg, where you can get biz class for the same price Thai flies for.

    Royal Enfield will have their new Thai shop open this month, pricing below the new SR 400 - so the retro fans will have some interesting choices.

     

    I still prefer the SR, the BUllet 500 can be a great looking bike

  13. How Thaksin Bought Power - 2001 Documentary Abc Australia

    Sure, we're in a shit hole 3rd world country that's getting worse, but the difference he made enabled him to keep getting elected, To ignore the fundamental change he made, which many in power do, is to wonder WHY THE FARK do people keep electing him.

     

    To defeat your enemy, you need to understand WHY he's popular.

     

    Abhisit was actually liked more than the fat bugger Takky put in place, but they elected that fat bugger, because Democrats didn't learn the lesson, deny all you like, he made significant change, you want to get voted in Democrats? Then visit the rural areas, ALL OF THEM (they don't but it'll beat Thaksin who ignored areas) and then also make real changes, not the bullshit re-paving an already paved road and claiming you got rid of a dirt one, and pocketing the change, but actually building more and better roads, really improve education

     

    Flash, the idea of grade 9 was there, but not enforced, schools only went to Bor 6, then it was a long bus ride on dirt roads to a high school. he built, sad to admit maybe, high schools and roads that allowed bottom up commerce to flourish.

     

    You want Thailand to get better, bitch about how no one is coming up with a real plan to include everyone in the path forward. Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, fark, even Myanmar are all going to leave Thailand behind.

    All sides have been convicted of vote buying, weird thing about vote buying is it doesn't even cover the cost of going home on a bus and voting!

     

    Populist policies? Gee what percentage of global politicians are elected for not doing that?

     

    He did some smart things, roads got built that didn't dissolve when it rained, he put a lot of money at the bottom so it trickled up.

     

    Mistakes, too many to mention, he should have provided equal attention to the South as he did to the North East, drug policy, etc

  24. Inventor Of World Wide Web Warns Of Threat To Internet

    in Non-Thailand News

    Posted

    Al Gore did play a key roll in getting the internet (ARPANET - which Robert Khan and Vint Cerf built with others) out of the control of DARPA and into the main stream, it's been acknowledged by many in the industry, by the people who did invent the interent!

     

    He never claimed to have invented the internet, however he did say he "created" the internet in the same sense Eisenhower had said in the mid 60's that while as President "Took the initiative in creating the Intersate Highway System. Eisenhower didn't invent highways either.

     

    Gore's bill took the non commercial ARPNET and turned it into the public access system we know today

    <<Of Gore's involvement in the then-developing Internet while in Congress, Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn have also noted that,

    As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high-speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship [...] the Internet, as we know it today, was not deployed until 1993. When the Internet was still in the early stages of its deployment, Congressman Gore provided intellectual leadership by helping create the vision of the potential benefits of high speed computing and communication. As an example, he sponsored hearings on how advanced technologies might be put to use in areas like coordinating the response of government agencies to natural disasters and other crises>>

     

    Also the 1990's boom of WWW (the browser protocol's) would not have come unless Gore had also made the act,

    Perhaps one of the most important results of the Gore Bill was the development of Mosaic in 1993.[13][14] This World Wide Web browser is credited by most scholars as beginning theInternet boom of the 1990s: Gore's legislation also helped fund the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, where a team of programmers, including Netscape founderMarc Andreessen, created the Mosaic Web browser, the commercial Internet's technological springboard. 'If it had been left to private industry, it wouldn't have happened,' Andreessen says of Gore's bill, 'at least, not until years later So while it's a good sounding joke, he never claimed to have invented anything, he did though actually do some good, Pity he didn't become science minister rather than foreign affairs.
