They're all crap. Consider anything you send to a laundry here as 'disposable'.

Of course you could simply try https:// instead of http. I'm not sure if it will work for Orkut, but many other sites are completely accessible by using the different protocol.

I assume since the proxy also parses https:// that this is merely a 'feature' of the proxy, and not actually bypassing it.

The one I was looking at for 2500 dirhams dehumidified, scrubbed the air, ionised the air and had a washable filter.

Thanks guys much appreciated. forgive my ignorance but where do you buy them? is it a Carrefore purchase or are there speciality shops? The LG is actually available at the LG store in IBN Battuta.

Yeah, I can relate. Not a personal experience, but a distance experience.

The golf clubs here rarely sell second hand golf balls since they prefer if you buy new balls from them... the only time I bought second hand balls was at Nad Al Sheba prior to its closure. I might go to Karama to try to locate that shop... Forget it, there is no shop in Karama, they're leading you...

I know it's legal. I know it's their rights. But if you put yourself as the first employer, imagine that you have spent months to search for candidates, spend a fortune to do the paperworks (visit/employment visa) and flight tickets, etc etc. Then suddenly right after coming, the candidates just mo...

My first car was a 1986 Holden VL Commodore. It has a Nissan Skyline RB30 engine in it, and it went like a cut snake.

It looked better than the one in this picture though:

I didn't find them to be *too* expensive and its fairly modern. They're in Jumeirah (next to Mosque) or in Mall of the Emirates.


I was in The One not so long ago and saw the exact same dining room table I bought at Home Centre for TWICE the price.

You need only concern yourself with point 3, I have the other 4 covered.

really, muffing an IP address is easy as, which is why I tend to laugh at the wild accusations that I 'x' because the post from DIC or wherever.
