		<description>Now we all realize what could happen if an extremely virulent mother of all virus with an innocous sounding initials TS is invited in:  TOTAL SYSTEM BREAKDOWN.   And we all thought we had pretty good operating system didn&#039;t we?  But the TS virus was able to quickly corrupt and disable every protective circuits . . even our firewalls FAILED.

The TS virus, I last heard, has migrated out now somewhere in Manchester City, but is not definitely immobilized.  It was not called mother of all virus for nothing.

But in the meantime I heard a new operating system called &#039;VISTA&#039;, or new vision is being bandied around.</description>

		<description>It is said that if you install RamaIX.kng, your PC will be cleansed of all system-destabilising viruses (although not sure if it will remove trojans, especially the Generals.gov variety that are very effective at masking themselves behind RamaIX.kng and making themselves very difficult to remove).

Many users are also worried about the next version, called RamaX.dik, fearing that this new version will be completely ineffective or worse, corrupting the hard drive and crashing the entire system,which will enable the General.gov trojan to completely takeover (unless people.pwr files are activated).

Another, easier way save yourselves from all this hassle is to  switch to a Mac.</description>

		<description>Thanks Jon and I&#039;ll be on my guard.  I am of course referring to the &#039;Republican virus&#039; you just mentioned, who tend to hog the forum hard drives.

Anyone with serious problem with the above mentioned virus, let me know.  I have a special Yellow Anti-Virus that is guaranteed to work.</description>

		<description>Newly discovered virus: &lt;strong&gt;Partisan Group Think 2007&lt;/strong&gt;, a viral strain of Orwell&#039;s Newspeak 1984 that quickly fills up your drive (aka brain) with one idea, proclaiming universal unquestioned validity and brings said hard drive to speedy grinding halt if any other idea detected on said drive. Only computers built in America, Australia, and other &quot;true democracies&quot; work, vendor association says, but refuses to demonstrate conclusively that computers built in other countries won&#039;t work just as well, and perhaps even better eventually.</description>

		<description>Latest report: It has been found that the ThaiDemocracyXP software has also been corrupted due to it&#039;s inability to completely remove one file. 
The recommended fix is for users to delete the file named thak.sin, and then restart the system.</description>

		<description>Software updates: This may be of interest to Nganadit, Vichai N., Jeru and colleagues. I saw this article in the Thai version of “Wired”:

“Thais are being encouraged to update their mental software because of a number of bugs that have been discovered in the system they have been using since 1949, “RoyMil Feudal 2000”.  These bugs have the ability of severely incapacitating the user as well as infecting user networks making them highly susceptible to a number of damaging viruses. A particularly dangerous recent virus which the system has helped spread is Sept19/Roycoup.A, which has led to a widespread shutdown of rational thinking. The most common reported problem is with the PolDevt program repeatedly hanging. Another glitch is that the system produces a proliferation of royal.exe files in your hard drive which quickly corrupt all other working files in your system severely affecting the speed of your machine. These files will be automatically downloaded into computers with which you have contact.

It is thought that this program has been illegally downloaded into the minds of Thai citizens over the last 60 years by the RoyMil software corporation, which gained monopoly control over the mental software market at the time (a competing firm, PeoplesP Soft, was gradually driven out of the market by RoyMil). A case is currently going through the courts challenging the legality of this monopoly.

An earlier European version of this software did once exist but most bugs have been removed over the last 200 years. Software experts expressed surprise at the fact that such outdated software was still being used in Thailand.

The updated software, “ThaiDemocracy XP” has eliminated the following bugs: king.exe, lese majeste.exe, crownprince.maf, crownpropertybureau.maf, privycouncil.maf, sufficiencyeconomy.idi, appointedsenate.wtf?, coup.mil, and monarchy.net. The new program runs extremely fast and efficiently, and unlike the old software can be used by all citizens. Also, unlike much RoyMil software ThaiDemocracy XP is fully compatible with similar software used in other countries. Users have reported huge gains in productivity.

It appears that many Thais hackers have attempted to download the new software only to find that it is incompatible with the networks provided by RoyMil. It has been alleged that RoyMil is deliberately obstructing attempts by users to update to the new software.

Besides Thai consumers it appears that many Western users may are also be victims of RoyMil’s Feudal 2000 software. They are encouraged to update to the new software as soon as possible otherwise they will only be able to operate on RoyMil networks. If left indefinitely Feudal 2000 can lead to a complete corruption of one’s hard drive.”</description>

		<description>Oh Republican . . an &#039;academic website&#039; demands what exact decorum exactly?  If you puff out your &#039;extensive&#039; knowledge of your favorite subject and in humility I merely offer my common sense against yiour &#039;reasoned debate&#039;, I am not behaving properly?
You really think I was trying to draw out your sympathy?  lese stupidus indeed.

BTW abolishing the lese majeste law is a simple concept we can both agree upon.  But how do we convince that same woman that &#039;yellow&#039; is an academically feudal color?</description>

		<description>Jeru: simple - abolish lese majeste. After all, if the king is so morally pure and all the Thai people love him then he has nothing to fear, right?

By the way, if you want to join the debate on an academic website you should accept the rules of the game, which are to engage in a reasoned debate about issues in SEA Studies. Crying &quot;humility&quot; because you feel intimidated by others looks quite pathetic. If you disagree then argue your point, rather than looking for sympathy.</description>
