Is 2V tint good? 2V vs v-kool

mystvearn — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:35:25 +0800

Hi,

I got a bit dilemma. My place has a v-cool agent, but the workmanship is poor by my standards. Cost to tint the car RM2.6k. My neighbour had to go back 3 times to get v-kool repaired within 1 week.

I have also brought my car to another shop last year, and did Air-cool from them. Now they use 2V tint. Their workmanship is quite good. Proper shop, proper ac, proper closed area for tint. Price also cheap at RM800.

Common sense leads me to choose the RM800 one. But only other problem is that I have no idea what this 2V is. They did allow me to test at the shop put hand then open light see difference. Also went to the v-kool and experience the same thing. I cannot tell the difference. Both have 5 year warranty.

Can get info on this 2V tint. Thanks

Honda accord colour

mystvearn — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 00:29:55 +0800

Hi,

I noticed the colour mentioned in the accord launch in this site and paultan is different compared to the colour mentioned on the honda website. What is the true colour and are there any real life pics not some pics provided by honda. The colours look misleading.

What colour is this? Is there a blueish colour?

Streamyx download speed not the same as test speed

mystvearn — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 10:02:07 +0800

Hi,

Its been more than a year since I used streamyx. That time, everything was fast. Aside from the fact that I used VPN for BT, normal downloads were quick too. Now, everything is slow. The speedtest.net says I get 996kbps dl, 293kbps up. But even youtube videos, get hanged while loading. I have no idea why this happens. Is there a way to cure this? Must I VPN all my incoming connections? Last time I used Azureus, now on utorrent. Still, utorrent speed 10kb dl, and total dl speed with everything seems to be average around 45kb for a 1mb line. How to cure this lack of speed problem?

New Accord 2.0 or 2.4

mystvearn — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:14:01 +0800

Hi,

Currently using the 2.0 Accord 2 generations back, and thinking of upgrading to the new Accord. Thinking of getting the base 2.0 model, unless someone can give me a good reason why 2.5 is better. Fuel consumption wise, 2.0 is better right.
Could I get the 2.4l goodies placed in the 2.0 car?
One friend of mined managed to get his 1.8 Civic but with the 2.0 kit when he purchased it.
Thanks

Home theater desktop

mystvearn — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:07:19 +0800

I was looking at http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis...4/vh4001bns.asp
and thought that my Tt mod days were over sort of.
Since I have broadband, and now LCD's are cheap. Isn't it better to make a PC which can just replace your TV and entertainment system and at the same time you do your own work with that PC?
I was thinking sopcast+LCD+desktop casing like that (or better) replace TV, DVD player, astro etc

Now only problem is the expandability of such casings. Ideally tower would be better, but no remote controls. Or should buy external card which comes with remote. Also low number of external ports is a worrying thing.

Need suggestions on how to make efficient work pc (need to do work most of the time)+home theater (when not doing work)+game capable(sometimes) alternatives. Also hardware and software suggestions that you have used to make yours work.
Thanks

How to remove excel 2002 sum function and get

mystvearn — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:41:31 +0800

Hi,

I am using excel and have keyed in some data. In one column is a sum function (=sum(a2:02) etc. I want to copy the entire results of the sum value but excel does not allow me. I know you need to remove the sum function. Is there a faster way to do it without me having to retype the answers in the next column?

RSS or instant chat style topic feature

mystvearn — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:31:54 +0800

Hi,

I actually want to know if the forums can add a IRC chat like feature or instant RSS for hot topics. Example like the PRU 12 where 1.3k lyn users (excluding guests) logged on to one topic and now this by election. It will save mod/admin time cleaning up threads. After results are out, topic is closed. Only problem I can see is rumours can spread out fast-people can sue libel?. But other than that, everything looks ok. No matter how you try Se7ven, there will still be one liners/nonconstructive posts in gen chat/joke heavens/AShrine.

Thanks
