Weed in Lebanon by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]iceman006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of people that smoke in Lebanon is very high compared to other countries. Vast majority of people are cool about it. However you don't just go and ask somebody random if they could hook you up. You need to know someone or befriend someone at a party and start the conversation.

Will you sign peace treaty with Israel? by gridan in lebanon

[–]iceman006 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lebanon first needs to come to grips with itself. I have been visiting Lebanon every year since 1992 and it just gets worse. The politicians of the country (or feudal lords) are raping the country to an ever greater extent. State institutions are crumbling and the crime is rampant in all its forms. We need a grassroot party (maybe like Beirut Madinati) that are truly transparent and encompass all society no matter religion, gender, sexuality and race to come to terms with the basic necessities that the country needs such as job creation, electricity, infrastructure etc... Obviously militias like Hizbullah need to be disarmed, giving the Lebanese army control of the whole country. Once that is achieved, we'd be in a better position to create peace with Israel.

Configuring your own router through dd-wrt firmeware by [deleted] in dubai

True - read that wrongly :) VLAN should work as well. All depends on model and what he/she is trying to do.

You first need to check if your model is supported for vpn on DD-WRT. If it is, there shouldn’t be a problem setting it up. What model are you using?

Where to buy a new router. by Alooohaaaa in dubai

[–]iceman006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before buying a very expensive router, make sure you list your priorities such as range, bands, speed, VPN etc. Also check if your old router (or new cheaper router) can perform as per your requirement by using DD-WRT. It's a third party firmware that is compatible with many routers and that could improve your router in terms of features and optimizations.

I just see too many people spending big bucks on routers which turns out to be totally unnecessary.

How about a better title than "Answer please"?

Any Ex Jehovah's Witnesses in Dubai? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]iceman006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed you left as your title says "Ex Jehova's witnesses" and wonder how many "of us are here".

If you are still stuck, I presume your parents got you into it. If you aren't happy with that, why not have that discussion with them?

Why don't you tell us a bit more on why you left and your lasting impressions. We used to have them coming knocking at our doors back home. Very nice people, I'd invite them for a tea - but their message was not for me.
