10 Years this time? Cool!

Not just you mate, it is blank to me as well. I think it is the server side because quite often such things, as with this one, cannot be seen in Aus. either. I just get a blank, not even a link that doesn't work. Sometimes signing in two or three times and refreshing sorts it, sometimes not.

Is it my eyes? Can you point me to where it is exactly ?
Andy,
It was in Post #38.
The post quotes a previous post, and has some link. In my browser, Chrome under OS X, it appears as an unresolved icon. But I can see in the link window that Chrome is trying to download something from adventuremotorcycle.com. What did you try to post in post #38, which otherwise is empty.
thanks!
This is all my browser (Firefox) shows for that post 38 now, your quote from chinabiker and no pics, comments or links, empty except for your sig at the bottom:

I posted a picture, which I uploaded as attachment, but didn't attach. Instead, I linked to it.Quote:

Thanks Andy. This last works fine now. I am using firefox 3.66 as well and got nowt before. I no longer enjoy Firefox since the last few updates but I am certainly not going back to IE! Lets hope someone can work out what does that, yours was not the only one, it has happened before.
Nice! obviously the key message is this: 10年 (10 years). Congrats.
And, yes, seems not all browsers treat MCM html equally. i recently shifted to chrome, having grown tired of firefox, camino and safari for different reasons. may consider switching back to firefox, which seems to have the greatest reliability for such issues. (though it's still very painful to be a mac user here inside the firewall, where EVERYTHING is optimized for MSFT/Win...)
thanks for your sleuthing.
cheers
What is IE :lol8::lol8::lol8:Quote:

The entrance, akin to the flagship store in Manhattan, will be a 10m high glass tower bang in the middle of the IFC central plaza. Impressive.
It's now shrouded, but Apple has sent out an invitation:
Apple Pudong store announcement
Shanghaiist report
MacGeneration report
IFOAppleStore report
cheers
Grandma here in Shanghai wouldn't be able to see the content if you did fetch it with a VPN, or your VPN ain't worth a dime. A bit too fast in jumping to conclusion??Quote:

Whether through VPN or not, Chrome loaded the entire MCM page, but then got stuck for many minutes, and all I could see at the bottom was a partial link to adventuremotorcycle.com. I'm not technically inclined, so I did not know how to find the complete URL for what it was polling. I did, in a separate window, browse to adventuremotorcycle.com, and after a long wait this did load, both with and without a VPN.
I'm generally of the view that when something fails to load here inside the firewall, even something presumably innocuous like a dual sport magazine site, it's because some part of grandma's filtering apparatus has thrown up a barrier -- likely an automated/non-human one. I did not necessarily mean to impugn grandma's reputation for accuracy in her filtering, though I do have plenty of experience with impugnable offenses on her part!
I take your point about the nature of VPNs -- that if it's working she should not be able to "know" what's passing through. On the other hand, I've recently read reports that new technical restraints are being applied to VPNs themselves, making them harder to use. I can attest that my VPN has seriously declined in effectiveness and download speed in the past six months or so, though I don't know why. I use W*top*a's SSL service via V*scos*ty. Have you found something better?
thanks!
Foreigner can't see internet = must be great firewall
Chinese can't see internet = internet or website is broken
It's all good.

Now that's a great piece of advice. I recently spent several months in California, and had hoped to set up a prockseee there. But I was unable to make this happen for a variety of somewhat lame reasons owing chiefly to my own lack of technical skills, but also to my general parsimoniousness; I don't have a home base there where I can set up a dedicated, linked PC, so I'd have had to find a commercial home for one.Quote:

Here the official read from Police about the ten year validity of driving licenses.
That looks pretty official.
Question: My Beijing license lapsed years ago, so I'm on a brand-new 6-year Shanghai-issued license. In the bad old days I remember having to do some kind of admin thing each year. Visit the DMV, stand in line, pay some fees. Is that still the case, or is this a once-off license you don't have to think about for 6 or 10 years?
thanks
While the license is within the validity period and provided you have not done anything to violate it, then you do not need to do anything about it. No fees or other administrative procedures are needed, other than doing all you can to not accumulate 12 demerit points within any 2 year period. Keep in mind that while most demerit points are 3 points, some infractions are much higher, like speeding more than half the posted limit results in 6 demerit points while other infractions things like DUI can be much higher.Quote:
