meh, I basically gave up. Talking to the management of the school is like talking to a brick wall. Maybe I don't understand Chinese "face" well enough, but being a private school that is for teaching foreigners Chinese I feel their willingness to compromise is awful.
At no time did the management of the main campus make any effort to communicate in English while I was there in person when we were discussing this problem. And this is a school who teaches beginner Chinese classes so they obviously have teachers who can speak English well enough to deal with this problem.
In the end all I have to say is stay away from this school. There are plenty of other choices now.
I was able to re-enable the managed device with the first one, but I still have problems connecting with DSL the normal way. In the end I used pppoeconf to connnect automatically at startup, and have to run sudo pon dsl-provider if I get disconnected.
I never had this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu. For some the problem is apparently fixed after updating, and for others like myself it's obviously not fixed... kind of a pain to always use pon dsl-provider when I lose my connection... though I guess once could create an icon on the desktop to do that.
Yes, that's how mine is currently set-up. Mine is manually configured to automatically connect through pppoeconf. Sometimes the connection drops out for whatever reason and I have to run the following command to reconnect:
sudo pon dsl-provider
The problem is supposed to be fixed, and after updating you should be able to use the "managed device" in Ubuntu. I've never looked into how to re-enable the "managed device" part though, maybe this weekend I will look into it.
I'll admit, I skipped most of the posting... But I thought smoking provided a "false" calming effect. In that the person feels much more anxious because they are addicted to nicotine. They would feel much less calm if they had never started smoking in the first place.
I guess you'll get a nice view of all the empty new buildings, and the pedestrians getting ran over on the cross walks.... go Kunming! Double bonus when the tour bus itself tries to run everyone over when it takes a right turn.
In all honesty what do you think the police are going to do with it? I doubt they're going to send it to a nature reserve or something.
The police are too busy doing whatever they do. They don't even keep the crosswalks safe for little kids and the elderly from public buses.... yet they're going to take care of a pangolin? hah...
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Kunming neighborhoods face water rationing
发布者Yeah, the water used for plants and streets is supposed to be the grey water from sewage.
Also in your neighborhood they are only supposed to use grey water or sewage for watering. That's why it always smells so bad.
Laos extradites drug suspects to Yunnan
发布者Err.. feel much more calm if they never smoked. Smoking provides a calm feeling, but it's probably the reason they feel so anxious in the first place.
