@mimoh read well 4ya exams and best of luck

@ Mimoh,

NOw that we have a complete download, how do I get em across to you, i'll burn them on 6 cds 2moro.


@ adewale,

hope i won't lose previous downloads when I reformat IDM? I even doubt that cos my opera is finding it difficult downloading again as you can see from there. I hope they won't throttle DAP too by tomorrow cos this night I clocked speeds up to 110 KBps that's close to 1Mbps shey

How we go do am na? Ubuntu is still 88% should I risk starting afresh with DAP? dat'll hv 2 be 2moro, unless Grid replies then I can go get it from him and delete the 2.7GB of inconsistent download.

i don't think re formatting would do any good. Idm is the best as far as am concerned

suggest the way forward abeg

r u there now? have u tried downloading sumtin else without idm and what speed does it give? could the port still be blocked? does grid have d dvd version

@mimoh i hope the faith of java won't be like that of BeOs. but hey 250 a piece should get them back on their feet. i get vb this thursday i haven't fisked the pc i'll do it hope fully tomorrow

guys i just deleted ubuntu trying to replace it wit win after it copied the files and restarted it showed hard fisk error i tried reinstalling kubuntu but same happened it kept on making a funny sound as if the disk wap skipping. or could the disk be bad its less than 8 months old the maxtor i use is over 2yrs now and has seen hell and wen i shake the disk its as if something is loose. help quickly am almost going nuts

@ Mimoh

my no: 08034303344.

well the hard disk passed away today what a short life spent. a time 2work and a time 2stop working. In loving memory of my hard disk that opened my eyes towards ubuntu and linux in general. The body is to be shipped to segate hq for replacement my warranty is till 2011. does anyone knows how much it would cost to ship to segate hq, usa ? thanks for your concern

shipping cost should be able to get you a better maxtor hard disk. Seagate will eventually ship you another one which you will need to "sheep" back to them in 2 years.

thanks jare i think i'll just sell off the pc and go get a new one

Don't you hav younger ones? Get a new HDD and use your PC for experiments. Selling off won't be the best idea man. I won't advise.

Please help me get Grid's number. I need to see dude AsAP.

Mimoh, expecting ur number/call.


I had to delete the IDM ubuntu download. I tried SAP but it refused to download. After 30 minutes, it's still searching. I tried all the mirrors including the netherlands, same old story.

Hey Christino, I had issues with my internet connexn. Still wanna meet? Give me an email so that i can send you my physical address.

email: xsidotcom@yahoo.com

@christino get a new hard disk in naija hell no this hard disk just helped me develop hardo phobia (just kidding) whats the assurance that the new one won't behave like this? and like u said intels get slightly weaker after 2yrs so should i still keep it or let go of it. i tried recovering windows it gave me command line i think i'll just reinstall thanks everyone

Why i advise against selling off is that you lose almost 50%. Your processor becomes noticeably slower actually but if you have younger ones or you need to do experiments, like install Fedora, Unix or even Sun on it and try your hands on other OSes or software that must not be connected to the internet cos of piracy detection e.g. Vista (don't worry the koreans are working hard on Vista and office 2007, they'll be in Otigba before Microsoft releases them to the public, shey they are already with Dell and HP).

I have a P4 at home where I perform "crazy" experiments, but i stopped posting them cos some people adviced it is against the laws of the forum to post "hacker" stuffs here, i did not read the terms of agreement anyway, i just clicked "I AGREE"

Meanwhile there's 9 Pcs of DEll Desktop, 512MB,40GB HDD, 14" LCD (Flat Screen of course) P4 3.0GHz for sale (NGN 50,000). Holla Jamo on this no: 08082092356

well i was considering a laptop and thats because i wud be leaving for skool anytime soon by His grace any way do u know if he has laptops in stock within 50 to 70. about vista its already open to a number me viruses. and i read an article that said dell was disappointed in vista and refused to ship it. it cost those guys 7billion and 5years and those who specialise in making viruses can't just wait to start searching for exploits and prove microsoft wrong once again

@christino like what do u mean loose 50% is it money wise or processor power?

@christino i called jamo yesterday and even sent him text to send the ones he had via email am yet to receive the mail from him and is centrino a good or bad option? i wud prefer an amd but that wud be more expensive i think

@ Adewale,

50% money-wise. Vista having loads of viruses, gimme more info o. I know it has lots of security threats though. But i'd like to see what it looks like. (not vista inspirat)

Where's your school? If they don't steal laptops there, then it's a cool option. But i'd prefer a deskie (though upses don't last so long) Centrino is a very good option if the price is okay.

Jamo is now telling me that the Flat screen is not included in the offer but as for lappies, you can get good ones for 50-70k, watch out for Yahoo boys, they offer the best deal in town!

The amd is not so expensive depending on the specs you want. for a second hand, Athlon XP M or the Turion will be a better choice and if you can get a MAC, big boi, na you biko o.

Why are you going to school when schools are just vacating? Shey u dey travel out ni?

@ Grid,

Yet to hear from you.


@ Mimoh

Did you end up at Kirikiri, did not hear from you again, i'll give u a call.

@christino i wonder why people tout macs so much i saw a mac book for over 450k i wonder whats so good about mac itself. anyway jare i need mobility and i doubt if they steall laptops at ilorin. well about the vista issue i followed a link i'll try and get it and paste it ok. has jamo sent it to my mail yet?

don't mind them jare i wasn't able to find that link yet but try googling for vista security flaws

For the latest on vista flaws among others, try subscribing to Zdnet blogs, the best in town i can bet.

guys i finally managed to get windows back but my files that i suffered to download vga gprs is all gone no explanation well good part is am bak now @christino did u once tell me u had vmware and is it for windows or linux

I guess i hv VM for both, not so sure but more of linux.
