I meant open up the pc. Need to clean the fan blades and other areas of the dust bunnies to restore its earlier silent operation. No compressed air so blower and brush will have to do.Originally posted by Fatum:you can just get those little cans of compressed air and poke around the bits with the little red tube ....

*wails ! .......
everytime I want to go fishing, it rains ! .....
weather network and the howling winds say it's going to rain tomorrow ....
-
Well, its been pouring here for the last couple of days too. Makes it a fucking pain getting to work because you get wet even with an umbrella and all the bloody taxis disappear whenever it rains and you can't even call for one because their call center lines will all be jammed. We need more taxis!

Reading the PAP..I mean the Straits Times this morning, Singapore has been ranked 30th out of 35 cities in a Reader's Digest survey on courtesy/helpfulness. Imagine my suprise.
Not a paper survey either. They planted their people in a variety of situations to test the reactions of the public during both peak and off peak hours. New York came in first. The bottom performers were asian cities. -

I'd never imagine .....
perhaps RD got locals as plants ...... they should have gotten ang moh plants instead ..... watch Singaporeans go out of their way then .... -
I found NYC coming in first a little strange myself. But I was not suprised at Singapore's poor showing.Originally posted by Fatum:NEW YORK ? .....

Surprised with NYC coming in first too
Nothing surprising with Singapore results. -
Morning/Evening. AV, I think that survey was misprinted.

I read in the news the other day Durai has been given permission to leave Singapore.
Hands up those who think he's not going to come back to stand trial and that this is really a ploy by the higher ups to allow him to escape, leaving his former cronies to hold the bag. -

I remember this sri lankan artist who was given permission to "seek medical treatment" in australia while facing drug charges ...
he chabot'ed of course ....
sometimes I really wonder, is there one law for the rich, and one for the poor ? ... -
Remember, you need to be an 'elite' and also with the right connections and the end result is very different from what is what we call 'by right'Originally posted by Fatum:*hands up ......

The problem is, the rich have the money and resources to fight a long and drawn out court case. The poor sometimes plead guilty(when they are in fact innocent) or settle in order not to be financially ruined. And those who are too poor to pay the damages/fines have to go to jail! So the rich definitely have the advantage in the legal system.Originally posted by Fatum:*hands up ......

In Singapore(and many other places as well), its often not what you do, but who you are that determines your fate if charged in court. Also, there are already certain organisations run by certain groups of people that are untouchable in Singapore. Not by the police, not by the judiciary.
I certainly hope I'm wrong about Durai. -
that is why I hate lawyers .... in any society in the world, they does nothing of value, but make their pile by obfuscating and complicating things .... it's like a giant, self-propagating conspiracy ! .....Originally posted by av98m:The problem is, the rich have the money and resources to fight a long and drawn out court case.

you know, I'm strangely drawn to the communist idea of the law .... the less the better .....
I am no lawyer of course, nor am i school in the judiciary ... (
) ... perhaps the rich could get better lawyers, perhaps it was the vagaries of assorted judges, but it seems to me certain class of people in Singapore tend to get the heavier sentences ... oh well ... -
bored bored bored.
