    Cracking good time

    Database, Published on 13/01/2010

    » German tech nerd Karsten Nohl showed off at the Chaos Communication Conference in Berlin how he cracked the encryption that you were trusting to keep your phone calls un-tappable throughout Thailand; the researcher proved it would be pretty simple to crack any GSM encryption; he said the 20-year-old encryption algorithm used by most GSM companies is simply too weak, and can be cracked by anyone who really cares; he released all the data, cracking tables and instructions, but did not give away an actual cracking program, because that might be illegal.

    Out with the old, in with the new

    Outlook, Marius Murdoch, Published on 14/01/2010

    » It might seem like the ancient past, but it wasn't so long ago that we lived in the dark ages of dial-up internet, floppy disks, pagers and fax machines. Luckily these old-hats died with dignity, and while we may miss the harrowing screams of connecting modems, good riddance to bad rubbish. But other technologies seem insistent on carrying on, despite smarter and more accessible alternatives gaining saliency in the new decade. What looked to be consumer mainstays seem poised for poor performance and obsolescence this year. Here's a list of some of the stale technologies of 2010.

    » [quote="Papadragon":19d1c84s] [b:19d1c84s]Foreigners cannot use a Thai spouse as a nominee to buy property in Thailand, however. “If the Thai spouse has enough money to buy the house that is fine, but if the Thai has no money and uses money given to him or her by a foreigner to acquire...

    Baht too strong - urgently needs freedom to float

    By oldexplorer, Created on: 12/03/2009, Last updated on: 04/11/2015

    » As the massive Chinese economy begins a freefall descent in response to the Western financial collapse, the Abhisit government needs to assist Thai exports by allowing the Baht to float downwards. Keeping the Baht slavishly locked to the US Dollar is short-sighted, and will simply make Thai exports...

    Are the foreigners finding a sense of peace in Issarn?

    By pachangamac042, Created on: 07/03/2009, Last updated on: 14/05/2009

    » Dear FOS, I quite agree with you. I-Saan can still be a very charming place, even for me, I do see two different faces of I-Saan. The country side with its villages and the big metropolitan areas. I grow up in a little village with some 500 inhabitants myself. In our village there were more cows,...

    • pachangamac042 commented : fields and either plant rice, cut it, collect it or throw it up the rice machine. I am not much of a farmer myself, but I still enjoy once in a while to help my mother in law with her two rice fields. Not much shrimps in our village but plenty of fish ponds. When they collect the fish, they pump out the water and just catch them with their hands. Quite funny to watch them doing it. Regarding scyriacus and Trang, well, nothing I can say about that region, as I have never been that far South, so there is nothing I can say about it. I do have local friends in Phuket and they are as nice as I-Saan people. Maybe it is just a bit more difficult to make friends with locals in a place with a lot of tourists, compared to places with very little tourism.

    • stilljustbrowsing commented : , for obvious reasons. So, to cut a long story short, we fell in love, got married and live together in Bangkok. My daughter still lives with her grandmother as we thought it unfair to bring the daughter to BKK and take her away from her family and friends in Prahrr. (she is 14 now) She comes and stays with us during the school holidays and my wife visits her in Prahrr regularly. We send some money to the mother-in-law each month to ensure our daughter completes her schooling, unlike what happened to my wife. (my wife's mother's husband left her as well, seems to be a Thai tradition hey?) The bottom line is this, we have been together now for more than six years, my wife lives with me. My wife tells her mother what to do as we send the money to them. Something within your relationship sounds not quite right, please excuse me if I am speaking out of line, just my oppinion. Regarding the rest of the family, they all quede up to visit us until they reallised there was no "gravy train", after which most I have not seen again, and the ones I do see are really great.

    » There was an interesting discussion on Thaivisa about the immigration rules for people who are married to a Thai national.
