Nigerian born [/b]Dr. Philip Emeagwali first entered the limelight in 1989 when he won the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize for his work with [b]massively parallel computers. He programmed the Connection Machine to [b]compute a world record 3.1 billion calculations per second [/b]using 65,536 processors to simulate oil reservoirs. With over 41 inventions submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Philip Emeagwali is making big waves in the supercomputer industry, amazing achievements only surpassed by an even more amazing life.

I am pretty sure that this invention Contributed to the high speed DSL computer speed that just recently advanced the speed of internet usage,

I have warned you to always research before posting. "Dr." Emeagwali has NO Phd degree, does not have "over 41" patents with the USPTO! He is making NO waves in the supercomputer indusry except as an egoistic charlatan! What amazing achievements are you ascribing to him? Prestigious Gordon Bell price? A price worth $1000 while the Turing price was worth $100,000?

Did you know that the fastest computation that also won a Gordon Bell price at that time was 6Bn and not 3.1bn?

You are discrediting this man for his achievements and his contributions to the computer industry. If you are going to do that, supply the source or sources for where you got this information from. Other wise I will be inclined to keep thinking what I have always thought and that is, your just running your mouth for no real cause but to run your mouth.

I get tired of hearing you just talk and talk but give no source to back up any of your claims. You are no one to be paying attention to at all. Where is your source? While you are at it trying to locate some sources, find some that will discredit white inventors as well. You do like to be fair right?

@ sista

i am inclined to think that you are too lazy or lack the cerebral capacity to do thorough searches before making bogus claims hence your haranguing others to provide "sources" to back up their facts when u yourself either provide NO sources or at best irrelevant links.

You can't know more about Emeagwali than a Nigerian! So shut up and stop making bogus claims.

Now back to your rants:
Here is a link to Emeagwali's court case challenging his being denied a phd degree:

This is another link to put to rest your bogus claims:

Only God knows how many more lies you have succeeded in posting that we did not know about!

@Sista

Please don't argue with davidylan on this issue. He's right. Emeagwali's claim is nothing but fraud and bogus. There are no documents to back his claims and he refused to acknowledge his critics call for interview.

@Davidylan


You went and got a link to discredit this man but you did not go and get a link to prove that the tribalism in Africa was always the way it is way before white people came into Africa. That lets me know you really didn't know what you were talking about and also, you never bothered to respond to that observation i made to you in that matter.

I am checking out the links you supplied right now.

@ynot

@Sista

If it was his own people who were the critics I can see why he would ignore them. Even if it was white people, i could see why he would ignore them as well. His own people should have believed him and stuck by him. Also, to be frank he really doesn't owe anyone an explanation for his accomplishments. I don't see how something as big as that can be put out there and yet it is a lie. I am going to check the link and post my opinion.

keep playing the game of musical chairs

1. I did not "discredit" the man! Dont be silly, verify facts before posting!

2. Source on tribalism in Africa before the 17th century? More like asking me what color of dress people in 14th century yorubaland were wearing!

Sensible humans would have done this before going on another meaningless rant!

Did you read those links at all before starting ur hate speech? The "accomplishments" you talk about are things you just copied off another website without thinking and you want us to believe they are credible with the amount of evidence against him? You do not have an oppinnion on this matter, you have been found wanting as an incorrigible liar!

2. Source on tribalism in Africa before the 17th century? More like asking me what color of dress people in 14th century yorubaland were wearing!

Exactly! so why are you saying negative things happened then if you don't really know? You are a false profit.

As far as you calling me a liar, we could both be considered liars within the context you speak of. I only looked for stuff that I had already read about to support what I had already knew. I could have furnished you with the titles of a few books but I know you would have not gone out of your way to acquire those books. So, I am a liar for finding links to support my previous readings and you are a liar for talking negative about Africa and it's people at a time when you were not even thought of, you weren't even existing at that time.

more musical chairs, bring it on buddy!

Instead of admitting your error you go on about providing proof on tribal wars in Africa. I cant be bothered to quote history books for you, go and find out yourself. Your gaffe on Emeagwali shows u up for who you really are, a dumb individual who cannot be relied upon to provide accurate information beyond hurried copying and pasting from questionable websites to support frivolous claims and outright lies!

If i did not take u up on Emeagwali, you'd have successfully gotten away with lying while attempting to sound knowledgeable! Stick to American history, at least i'm not likely to challenge you on that. but as long as you continue to peddle falsehood about a nation you know nothing about, we can continue our musical chairs!

deleted.

This has got to be the dumbest thread I have ever seen

Ever.

What the hell has this got to do with anything.

EXU, suggestion start from page one. maybe you should go read from page one before you ask what ,what they are discussing has to do with anything.
I thought you were never rude and childish, oh well  stick to Bible bashing

Its best to walk on if you have nothing to contribute to a thread.

@David
no need for proof on history, let her go copy and paste , she talk utter rubbish. You right about Emeagwali, no point talking to a warped mind brother.

Hi Euphoria (typo?)

I read the first page.

It was dumb.

This thread? Dumb.

It's no suprise to find you posting so enthusiastically in a thread such as this.

Have a nice day.

Hi Euphoria (typo?)

No actually its my username ,  a nickname ever heard of one of those? its those things ppl use in forums and such to identify themselves, it can be watever you want . I thought long and hard for a good nick for you no typo watsoever (Bellend) , no typo at all, i chose to spell it that way because i am Euro Sceptic. Don't know if you know what that means. but never mind like i said stay on the bible bashing thread . Cos this thread is dumb , lol coming from a one track mind like you its nothing  You are what? 22yrs old going on 2? Stick to the modern day Sauls thank you very much.


Ps
great you thought you come in on a dumb thread to read what dumb people say and to say just how dumb it is? well who is that typing up there? must be a your alter ego welcome to the dumb parade

Instead of admitting your error

You might me tricking the idiots who are fool enough to believe you but you don't fool me at all. You absolutely no nothing about anything. You pick and choose what to play with and the only reason why you are picking on this Nigerian is because of his known history. I will be checking into his present which I am sure he is doing much better than you.

Why don't you act like a man for once instead of acting like a messy female who enjoys keeping up mess with other women. Go find a man to argue with.



Black and white are not one.

To think that they are is absolutely foolish.

@Delf747


Delf, when you say black and white are one, are you just referring to a black and white mixed person? Because you initially posted a mixed girl who is black and white?

Good Lord! this is an illness

@topic

BLACK AND WHITE ARE NOT ONE, we are all humans yes, however we are not one and the same.



animals are animals but they are not all the same.

at the risk of projecting racist thoughts i will stop there.

_{some black people have no sense of the strength we as a people were blessed with}

@Cocoa29


I agree, Black and white are not one at all.

coco you are not racist i hope. You don't sound it. Anyway i agree with you. The thing i detest is the black people who use the situation as an excuse for every dreadful thing in life.

we have our differences but i don't buy into hating the other race to love your race. That is no way of showing love for yourself or your race.

Ps where have you been hiding and how are the pikinis

Sista:

It is a no wonder that Arabs and Europeans are known for their homosexuality, they have no respect for women

Sista,

A man who does not 'respect' women is probably not a homosexual. It also depends upon what you consider respecting to be. Different cultures having different roles for the sexes and what they expect from them.

Sista:

Can you tell me in your own words why do you think that is and what is it all a product of? Certainly not geography alone. As you can see, Europeans had to come a long way to get to Africa and they had to encounter many other races and ethnic people before they got to Africa. Even if they took a short cut and came on a ship, they had to take a huge chance surviving on the ocean.

Europeans explored and mapped the whole world. It was about wealth, status, adventure, discovery, knowledge and power. It was about the birth of nations and how they desired to expand themselves and glorify their own people. It resulted in America - the worlds greatest nation which spread its wings and touched the surface of another world. It is why it says in the White House's guide to diplomatic etiquette that on meeting foreign dignitaries American Ambassadors must "shake hands but never bow, Americans bow to no one".

It might all seem very arrogant to outsiders but that's how it is. No one has yet come up with a more powerful social, economic or military structure to rival the modern nation.

Evidently 'black' and 'white' are the same.

Within both are elements intent on playing up 'racial' differences that aren't actually there.

Both 'sides' choose to ignore the fact that there are billions of people the world over who would be classed as neither black nor white.

i was thinkin this thread was dumb, wrong i suppose. Love it

the brazs are fine driving me nuts, i have been busy sweetie


@ i do not think that i am races hmm I DO NOT AND WILL NOT GO OUT, Be Intimate OR KISS ANY OTHER RACE I LOVE BLACK THAT IS THAT.

i do have white friends and do not hate them, it is just that they do not excite me sexually, not at all   does that means i am racist    

You can interpret things the way you wish, however, just because a black person is trying to keep the pass alive so that black people can recognize what is taking place in the present in hopes that we will know which direction to take for the present and the future - does not mean that one is promoting to hate whites for the love of blacks. Don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with that Idea if that is what certain black people want to do, as long as they don't hurt anyone.

Black people need to learn to stop worrying about being fair to white people, we need to worrying about why we are not fair to each other. Does not mean we should disrespect white people or anyone else it just means not to go out of our way to be cordial with white people when we don't even go out of our way to be cordial with each other.

what the f u c k

how about the HAIR AND THE COLOUR OF THE SKIN, SPEECH, FOOD, CLOTHES.


those who have mixed race and is confuse that is for their parents to think about.

i once heard a boy described his mixed race friend as diluted-confuse and have no culture.  Is that so i will hold my comment.

coco
No it does not make you racist.  Nothing wrong with that at all

once heard a boy described his mixed race friend as diluted-confuse and have no culture.  Is that so i will hold my comment.

who ever said that to a person is sick sick sick. I don't care who does the mixing and how diluted they are. If the parents have their heads screwed on right that child will not be confused but will be confident in who they are. you will always get people like that .
I don't give a fuk to be honest being mixed race does not make you confused, its down to the upbringing. Non of my cousins are confused. My cousin will speak pigin like nothin else and he is whiter than any mixed race kid i ever saw. He so identifies with both his cultures strongly. If you saw him you'd think he was white, but he has such a passion for his mothers race and his father's race and as an 18yr old i respect that kid so much, he has more sense than many 30somethings

Sista,

I meant nature doesn't care what we think (I think  ).

You got a mixed person who is black and white.

(this is getting real confusing)

@Delf747

Some things just aren't acceptable. Europeans during the dark ages would hang pregnant women on top of pincers. They did which hunts for women who they thought went against doctrine and would would burn them at the stake. They would sleep with little boys which was not cool but use young girls 14-16 only for procreation purposes. Arabs conducted women slave trade and some of the slaves they kept them in their own harem, probably the rebellious ones they wanted to break down.

Europeans may have mapped the world because they always document what they plan to take over but thy were not the ones who first explored the world. There is much proof that suggest Africans were the first explorers. However, Africans didn't over stay their welcome when they explored.

When I come back, I plan on posting that proof.

how about the HAIR AND THE COLOUR OF THE SKIN, SPEECH, FOOD, CLOTHES.

Being 'black' is nothing more than a physical description.

How does one sound 'black'?

How does one eat 'black'?

How does one dress 'black'?

talk about being pedantic

nice to see exu posting enthusiastically to a thread he called dumb, if you had any intellectual intergrity you wont be here. I love what my granma used to say about people who think they are intelligent. Just accept your poo comes out the same end as it does everybody else.    lol oh! what was that sound?  ah! its the trumpet call to all dumb posters on dumb threads    stick to prosecuting christians who have the time nd energy for your youthful shite!
