Tested the performance of a Hyundai Accent HB Diesel at TPLEX, speedometer is at 195KPH but GPS read out is 200KPH. Ayaw ng bumilis pa, hanggang dun nalang ibubuga ng Accent. Constant 200KPH along the whole stretch of TPLEX, parang ang iksi tuloy ng TPLEX.

These 2 cars will always be my current cars. Easy to maintain for a DIYer.

Bakit nasobrahan sa styling yung Modulo and Mugen variants, or is it just me?

Yes discipline, but it is only one of the keys. The problem for most drivers in the Philippines is ignorance of road rules since most have acquired licenses without passing an assessment from the LTO.

Now another problem wherein traffic problem is compounded, is the problem on how our government build road infrastructure. Everything is half baked. Roads are built without proper planning. Roads that should have been built years ago are only being built today and these roads are not anymore at an efficient capacity. They are not applicable anymore during the time of construction. Most or I think all of the time, after a road has been built, the public is allowed to use the newly built road in anyhow the public sees fit. There must be road policies that should guided the public on how to properly use the road.

Would you think only here in Philippines, road markings are not that important? They are so many cases wherein road markings are almost indistinguishable. Also road signs are lacking and to an extent absent. DPWH can build complete roads up to standards but how we use these roads is a matter of preference for the MMDA and LGU.

This leads us to enforcement, imagine a road rule or policy does not jive at all with what the infrastructure is built for. Could we blame the traffic enforcers of the MMDA or LGU, maybe yes for the corrupt ones, but most of these enforcers are limited to what is thrown at them in enforcing. Most of them also don't understand if the rules they are implementing are actually appropriate. For example a road geometry with 3 lanes going straight evenly but with an intersection in between where left turning along the inner lane is allowed at the intersection but not allowed for cars to go straight. How stupid can the legislation be by implementing such rules. Next is the presence of U-turn slots along high speed road. Do we still consider safety here? Why is U-turning permitted for motorists to take the turn and just cross to the outer lane. Does this strategy defeat the purpose of blocking the intersection by replacing it with U-turns? Why would trucks be allowed to traverse an inner lane? Hmmm. Maybe people from the government are just guessing.

Now EDSA, C5 which are roads supposedly to would connect a city to another thru better travel times. But what happened? We cannot even drive in a straight line. We always tend to weave because there is always an obstruction in front of us. They say volume is the problem, but the most problematic here is the inner lane of these roads which are not allowed to be free flowing. It is very possible that we can have too much volume along these roads and still be able to drive at a constant speed, not a constant stop.

Another thing is the frequent condition of diverging lanes. Why is there an inner lane that needs to merge to the outer lane like along C5 before the elevated U-turn. Safety has been compromised here and not one from our government has fixed this for a very very long time. Imagine you are travelling along Bagong Ilog flyover then you need to slow down up to an abrupt stop just to merge to the outer lane. Good thing is we Filipinos have good reaction time.

It is about time that we design roads basing on standards. The LGUs have their own color coded street signs which are different from the other LGU, usually the color relative to the elected politician. Lane marking are nowhere to be found. LGUs do not follow what is prescribed by DPWH or the International Standards.

These are just few of what we are experiencing. Napakadaming problema at nagpatong patong na.

So what is really the problem here. There is something wrong with the government. How are we to follow if the one wished to be followed is flawed. Flawed infrastructure, wrong road geometry, lacking lane markings and street signs, road policies that are out of place, ignorant drivers, etc.

Now let us first make an appropriate infrastructure by implementing complete and well studied projects and by rehabilitating existing road networks. We need to educate drivers by forcing to retake the driver's license assessment both in written and practical tests. If these will be followed, enforcement would be so easy.

Mahaba na ata. Marami pa sana akong isheshare kaya lang baka mobore na kayo.

Let this be a food for out thoughts. I hope there is somebody from the government here. Hehe.

here's mine

pldt dsl at home. i just leave turned on the whole day downloading mp3's and stuff.

me too. para sulit at d sayang bandwidth

Kaya pala. Malamang surplus hard drive na yan at pinapalitan na lang nila yung mga disc sa loob ng hard disk nila. I suggest that you buy a brand new one kasi mas mapapamahal ka pa diyan.

 

Ang hard disk madalas mga 10 years life span ng mga yan but it may go longer. Seagate and Maxtor are the trusted names when it comes to storage devices and peripherals.

 

Bottom line, just buy a new one to save the hassles.

I definitely agree.

And try to buy computer stuff sa mga ok na stores like pc express and villman.

peeps concerned pls help me out on this, i just had a new HD installed( actually it's a replacement coz it's still under warranty). drivers installed and settings properly configured by a comp tech. when i got online last night, a blue screen popped out w/ a message "disk write error"-unable to write to disk in drive C, data or files maybe lost... is this what you can say a physical error on my HD? i did a thorough scandisk but it hangs or blacked out at the midst of scanning. i got my seagate 40gb 5200rpm in west ave comp ctr and it took them 1 1/2 wks to replace it . what seems to be the problem w/ my HD? i still have 6 days to claim warranty. thanks guys!

 

btw, my desktop is a Plll-550mhz, slot1 tomato mobo(vintage item hehe), 128MB sdram,40gb HD, OS-winME

hmmmm.... mukhang mahirap to. The drivers and settings are properly configured by a comp tech. He must be a novice.

anyway, why only a six-day warranty? Kung hindi lang tayo nasa Pinas, e, pwede mo nang kasuhan yan. Very bad customer service.

It might be a physical error on your harddrive. There also might be a problem with your harddrive cable. The best way is to have your hard drive replaced. Kaya matagal kananamang maghihintay nyan.

If the person who installed and configured your computer is not that comp techy, it might be only a software problem.

And if, you're not into fixing your pc yourself.....

The best way to do is claim your warranty. Always follow up your request and demand it as soon as possible. Kulitin mo sila.

sa PC Express katipunan ka na lang konti lang mga customer dun kaya d pa magulo

tama ka dyan, pero minsan ang tagal ng paghintay para lang maiclaim yung binili mo.

I have a problem with my system.

 

CPU : Athlon 1600XP

RAM : 256MB

 

I need to boot my system more than 2X everytime after a long shutdown.

(> 1 hr).

The first boot would always result in a "hang" where even the keyboard

or mouse does not work. The next few reboots are kind of iffy. It may or

may not boot successfully. After a while, it will boot successfully. If I do

a restart from a normal working session, then the problem does not occur.

 

Any tips?

Does the hang occurs during the BIOS POST or while loading/starting your operating system.

If during the BIOS POST try configuring your BIOS. There might be some conflict between your hardware, IRQ settings, ect. Otherwise get an update of your BIOS (must be compatible with your motherboard).

Another thing, did you experience your problem after doing a fresh format of your drive and installing everything else? If not, it may be a problem with your software or operating system. Windows are prone to this issue. After months from the day of installation, windows may behave a bit odd at times, this may be due to corrupt files. So try running scandisk and defrag your drive at least a month (I think).

If you overclocked your system:

I think this would not be a heat issue. I have overclocked my processor and if it gets too hot, the system suddenly reboots. So, for your case after a long shutdown, it means that your processor has enough time till it overheats.

Unstable overclocking would result in a no boot. You wouldn't even see the BIOS appear. There is an override key to load the defaults. Just refer to the motherboard manual.

Hope my inputs could help.
