  1. Once reach 350 mb in broadband download in same ip address it will automatically disconnect you to internet. This is they call fair connection the reason the hardware it cannot handle a multi user during streaming or browsing so they make a policy to disconnect once you reach 350 mb on that day. You need to wait another day to get connect again.

    I honestly question the need to surf when you're on the move anyway. You don't really want that sort of distraction when you're travelling. If you want entertainment while waiting about, you've got options, devices these days can hold movies or ebooks. I use my nook for reading when I'm bored.

  2. Mechanical hard drives (the traditional one as of this post) aren't highly reccomended if you're travelling often or are naturally clumsy. Drop them and they will no longer function. SSD's are the way to go. Now if your external HDD is not for travelling but just data back-up, I'd go with western digital or hitachi. They have good failure rates, seasonic falls behind the other two. Hitachi being #1 in reliablity and Western Digital falling at 2nd. Mind you the tests they do run were for heavy use, I doubt you guys are using ext. HDD's as data centers and the like.

  3. Average local call service with Globe. Globe wireless internet is s@%t. I can safely say however, that Globe wired internet is another thing entirely - in that it is respectable. If you put aside their daily data capping, the service they actually provide is solid. The speed they give you is consistently 15-20% slower than that of the advertized service, but its reliable and they do offer their line in places where PLDT may not be able to give DSL.

  4. A nokia phone. Flaslight - check. MP3 via micro SD card - check. Radio - check. Standby battery life of up to 768 hours and 8 hours 30 minutes of talktime - check. These are the reasons I bought the phone. I don't think the new wave of touch pad phones can actually have that kind of crazy long battery life.

     

    I already have a samsung and iphone (that was a gift) and decided that despite their features, they are s@%t devices because they fail to perform the main function they were intended for - calling. If I wanted media, I would just use my PSP vita for it. Despite all the bells and whistle of these new age phones they run out of juice quickly and their touch screens make it hard to put them to the ear. Even worse, the small buttons on the screen, unlike physical buttons, are easy to press with the ears and cancelling calls can be the norm if you aren't careful.

  5. I can't argue for windows because I've never touched their product so I will go with what I am familiar with. Android is the best option if you want ease of use. It's intuitive, if you've used a PC before you will have no problem getting used to it. That and you can easily drag and drop files from the computer into the android once you hook it up. Meanwhile iOS devices are reputed to be user friendly... if they are the first piece of technology you have touched because the way they operate go against the user interface standards of other machines. Simply put, apple products are bad if you have any experience with technology before them - hell the hardware is bad and overpriced compared to similar products by other providers in the same price range. They are incompatible with anything that is not an apple product, they are inferior in specifications to equally expensive non-apple units (yes I am repeating, but this deserves to be repeated) and mainly cater to elitist people who do not even understand the technology behind their phones.

     

    P.S. I forgot to mention, but you need the iTune program for the iOS devices to copy media into it. And unlike with the android phones copying data is not simply a matter of copy pasting or drag-and-drop, but through a series of tabs (that do not appear to be tabs nor is labeled appropriately) until you 'sync' your device with your pc/laptop.

  6. Cancer. Best way to stop smoking, you will die, titigil ka pag namatay ka. That is inevitably what will happen if you persist in smoking - there are other diseases too, so just replace lung cancer with whatever floats your boat. Enough nagging on my part, think about this, you will inevitably give the people close to you health problems if you smoke. Do you really want to subject your parents, siblings, significant others ... or even children diseases because you cannot help the urge to sniff what is virtually slow-acting poison? If may su-suicide ka, wag ka mag damay. Namatayan na ako ng friend because his parents could not quit smoking. He developed lung cancer, shortly after he died the person responsible for his cancer - his father - got it too, he died as well. Better you smoke on a bullet, shoot yourself, wag ka na mangdamay ng ibang tao sa suicide mo.

  7. Better cardio is achieved through lifting. Mag gym ka. Mag palaki ka ng katawan. Once you pack on muscles and go back to your regular cardio routine, you will burn so much more calories doing the same things as you did before na walang muscle. More muscles leads to higher metabolism and that means you'll get slimmer faster. Parang kotse lang. A race car will use up more gas going from Alabang to Makati than your ordinary toyota corolla, the body of a normal guy can be compared to the corolla.

  8. I'm coming in from another thread, apparently smoking makes your penis smaller. "One reason, of course, is that smoking is a known cause of impotence. And there's some evidence that smoking affects erection size. In one study, researchers found that smokers' penises are significantly smaller than nonsmokers'. "In addition to damaging blood vessels, smoking may cause damage to penile tissue itself, making it less elastic and preventing it from stretching," says Irwin Goldstein, M.D., a urologist at the Boston University medical center. We have yet to hear a better reason to quit."

     

    Maybe the fear that your junior will get smaller will be incentive enough to make you quit smoking far better than any motivational spiel?

  9. Tanggero the myth about your penis shrinking in size from weight lifting has no basis. I'll be straight up with you and I hope I do not offend you or anyone else, the only reason your penis might appear small after years of weight lifting is when you're say... not that well endowed in the first place and your body becomes that much bigger that your penis looks smaller in proportion. But, simply being fat will make you appear far smaller in phallus size than how being macho will make you appear. Now smoking is bad for the lungs but it also really does make your penis smaller. The small snippet below should shed light on this claim. It's not a serious study, but compared to the bullshit where people say working out makes your penis smaller - for no reason - this has basis. If anything working out should improve your cardio vascular system's efficiency and more blood flowing into your penis should leave an effect comparable to what viagra may do. Perhaps it may not make you 'bigger' but you should be harder and last longer in bed.

  10. Then you're eating above your body's calorie requirements per day, go below it. Thing is, you can be thin all over but have that belly fat until you either 1.) modify your diet or 2.) pack on enough muscle that your base metabolic rate rises so much that you wont have to modify what you eat. Get more muscle if you aren't already muscular gobster11. You don't have to go to the gym straight away, there are many lifting programs you could do from home. For instance this one is awesome. I started out using that for six months. I didn't even buy actual weights (though I did sign up a local 500 peso per month gym after - have been lifting a year and a half now at that gym. I was in your shoes, it worked for me - I now have six pacs and respectable arms, though I needed to go on a high protein diet with whey protein powder on top of that). I bought a steel pipe for plumbing, then just started with two pet bottles of softdrinks on each end filled with cement. Start light, you do not want to break your body by trying to be too macho and lifting what you cannot without using proper form. Its better to lift 10 lbs with good form than 50 lbs with horrible form.

     

    Now why do I insist in lifting rather than some cardio routine? Simple, once you gain that muscle it's going to be there for a long time - especially when you maintain that figure by lifting 3 times a week. If you were to get thin on a cardio program of say, running 1:30 hours - 2 hours, you will have to maintain that routine for the rest of your life to control that weight. If you have work/family/significant other to attend to you will not have time. Lift now, say, spend the next 2 years doing 1 hour at the gym for 4 - 5 days a week and once you reach your ideal body you'll only have to lift (kahit walang cardio) 30 minutes - 1 hour per session, 3 times a week.

     

    So this is the break down, in 20 years, if you want to stay trim or macho... this is the amount of time you will need to invest to either be thin or macho. Look at how much time you save staying slim and macho versus just being payat.

    1 Hour Cardio for the next 20 years and you did it 4 times a week: 1 hour run (4 days per week) (12 months) (20 years) = 960 hours in 20 years, 40 days spent running!

    1 Hour Lifting 4 times a week for the first 2 years then 3 times a week of 30 minute sessions ~ then tapering off to maintenance: 1 hour lifting (4 days per week) (12 months) (2 years) = 96 hours + 0.5 hour lifting (3 days per week) (12 months) (18 years) = 324 hour... 324 hours + 96 hours = 420 hours total 17.5 days spent lifting!

     

    Bottom line, lift. If you are a man you have no excuse not to lift to get your belly thin. (you gain much more muscle than a woman would with the same amount of effort) If you're satisfied simply being thin, I guess that's okay. But I mean, may lalake ba dito that doesn't want to be BOTH slim and have a buff body that girls love? Anyway ito lang ang ginawa ko para maalis ang beer belly ko. I'm 26 now, I started when I was 23. I'm very happy where I am, not seeing a beer belly but abs is great. Nevermind na kaya kong mag full court basketball games ng 3 in a row (di naman professional kaming mga naglalaban) na halos walang pahinga. If you see someone running up the MRT Ayala stairs instead of the escalator from work, that's me. Dati hinihingal ako diyan, gamer kasi ako, payat na tingting. Ang sarap ng feeling na nakaka benchpress ng 250 pounds kahit 5'10 at 160 lbs lang bro. Try mo. ;)
