thanks to gnome3 for that ish, at times i wonder is gnome realise this UI (huge onscreen keyboard,radio buttons, things like airplane mode etc) is so blatantly aimed at tablets. funny thing is nobody is slapping it on a tablet. or has anyone seen a tablet with gnome shell?

sopcast is a very nice open secret, just thought id share with folks here though im sure some of our illustrious marketers would like nothing more than to charge a fee for a pdf. those folks have some nerve u know.

@lynxnoon and @all. i am pleased to inform you that the wifi tether function is back working

i tried it yesterday,, and thats what iv been using with my fone at work, even right now.
create a wireless network. preferably WPA or even free. connect it, connect ur modem (im using starcomms evdo)

search for the connection with your fone, it should connect and surf. mine does anyway.

subsequent times, if u wanna connect t again, u most likely wont see it in the drop down menu for network manager so click on the create wireless network again, but when it brings u the box, click on the drop down thingy where it says new, u will see your previously created network there, select it, and connect.

thats one less lynxnoon complaint

Another win

Chamakh be afraid. . . .be very afraid.

another win. yes another win, thank God for little mercies o. hmmmnn

as for chamakh, i am surprised u think he should be afraid. he should pack his bags already. from the little i saw, this park guy is so much the arsene type of striker, chamakh truth be told is an aberration. i have never seen an attacker for arsenal with his type of gameplay. and he seems not to be able to get his head out of the ground.

reminds me of last season when the chap was complaining about fatigue after 3 months. this season he has been fully rested, yet. . . . . . . . . . . . .
im one of his supporters, but if this park guy can deliver the goods, ol boy too bad.

its just really annoying when i remember how much furore getting him caused. this yeye frenchman declined signing a striker when seriously needed simply cos chamakh was coming at close season for free, all the insults and abuse for his former club etc etc. mcheew!

love it.

but why is it that the sole solution is to remove the subsidy?

what about stopping the fraud and catching the perpetrators? sacred cows?


hmmn, anyway there is a question that i have always wanted to ask:

if per chance i build a refinery, will i buy crude oil at the same international price that every foriegn nation buys it from nigeria?

if that is affirmative, does that not mean that in the long run, the prices i will sell my refined oil will be close to the price it is sold abroad?


and ultimately therefore, it does not matter if i refine it here, or in swahili land, the price difference from locally refined and imported may turn out to be a few naira.

which will inturn mean that we have oil yet do not enjoy any real benefit from being oil producers.
talk about a curse.

THE SOLUTION IS NOT REMOVING THE SUBSIDY, ITS REMOVING THE FRAUD, ITS REMOVING THE SURROUNDING FACTORS THAT MAKE THE FRAUD A VIABLE CONCERN.
ITS ABOUT THE REALITIES ON GROUND, NOT PAPER SOLUTIONS TO EVERYDAY REALITIES.

MARK MY WORDS, A FEW MONTHS AFTER SUBSIDY REMOVAL, THE SAME GOVT WILL PROPOSE RETURNING IT.

Tom Cleverly.

the bestest midfielder in absentia. i have never seen anyone so highly rated in absentia.  to think that he played less than ten games before getting injured sef makes it even more astonishing.
if he comes back and this mythical ando/cleverly partnership does not produce the fantasy footy we have been made to believe it does, are we going to get excuses in the line of he is just coming back, or somebody here will simply raise up his hand and admit that he is a dumbass nucca?

is UTD a one man team? or simply a one man midfield team? cos i really do not get how and why TC's absence is the cause of so much craptastic footy. FFS he is new to the team sef

then again, @ coogar, pls where and what has happened to the champagne footy that is going to beat barca?  

this has got to go down as one of the best weekends in history.

all correct. yes i said if we win, i'll be back. yelss ke .

pls when anyone locates coogar, help me to ask him where the champagne football that is going to beat barcelona has gone.

i dont mind the scoreline, i just mind the fact that for over a month now coogar has been telling me utd will walk the league with champagne footy, all i can see is ogogoro footy o.

does this mean utd are now equally as officially shyte as arsenal? the margin ought to have been more than 10, aguero squanderd two, dzeko squandered anor two.

rooney also is very good right back, utility that chap is

quite why i would wanna do that i dunno.
it works sha, but be sure u run the appropriate java app for ur fone like full touch fones should run full touch apps and not ones controlled with keyboard. small screen java apps will not display properly on large screen fones. chai see sufferhead

see all these ancient of days people dey derail thread with cobweb football.

if u can really remember (and not having done catch up with trivia and old skool footy vids and info) tournaments before clemens westerhof, you are too old!!

hands up for the footy made in germany/ rothmans football era o.



@ jencejyde, hmmn i was just encouraged by the defending. the number of times those OM bois were handing bros Metresacker his ass was not funny, Koscielny kept on covering for him when he was deleted, which was quite often.

first defensive display this season that made sense, even if it was a bit heart in your mouth occasionally.

beat stoke, and im backing this team fully again

thought as much.

so u figured out how to configure it? omo good luck to you o. that interface is, pardon my language, a POS.

u didnt even ask me what i did to the phone screen? do u know a few days ago i was prepared to ditch it, so i was doing all sorts of experiments on it.

so i sprayed this aerosol furniture polish and let it be for a while and wiped it off. in a bid to polishthe screen


nothing happened. do u know by nightfall the cracks were no longer visible?
i dunno exactly what appened, seems the substance got inbetween the cracks but i aint complaining. gives me time to purchase anor fone

@ tex dont start

@ lynx which launcher do use?

^^^
weaver sup? nor mind this chap. i certainly do not like being lectured by nosy parkers.
my friend said he didn't like the new unity redesign, i expressed an opinion about how he probably wouldn't like shell too, seeing that shell and unity are essentially the same paradigms.

presto he starts giving us a free lecture on how much he know.

U gave up mandriva? my issue with these distros is having to learn radically different ethos. like i discovered this afternoon that i could not open a root dolphin folder with kdesu. as in i was looking at the thing like really? i googled and saw some really arcane instructions and some stuff about that not being possible on particular kernels bla bla bla.


i have remastered my gnome desktop and will remove the kde soon. its been an exercise in frustration. if i prolly started out on Kubuntu maybe i would love it, but for now gnome allows me work faster and better. opensuse comes highly recommended for kde, likewise simplymepis too

remember lighthouse pup

i am waiting for what the wiseasses at mint will do now. they have been badmouthing ubuntu when ironically they just mod ubuntu. now that ubuntu has moved to gnome 3, lets see them build their desktop on gnome 3 and lets see how good it will be

in the first place i do not speak of what i dont have first hand experience over about linux.
so i find this your post very weird, and slightly belittling

all4naija:
I totally disagree with you regarding gnome 3, Ubuntu 11.10 being gnome 3.x.x by default is running as unity. All Linux are some ways incomplete. Featureless, that's not actually true and it has all the features you find in unity and even extra.

like what and what? do u even realise the gnome-shell desktop in ubuntu repos has already been modified? stock gnome-shell does not even have right click menu options

upon loading a gnome shell desktop what do u have? blue wallpaper and a top bar.
when u open apps, u do not have the option to minimise, it takes a double take to find out how to move between many open pages. it is not intuitive at all.


GNOME 3 and GNOME SHELL are not the same thing. just to be sure we are on the same page. i was talking about gnome shell to lynxnoon who im pretty damn sure know the difference between the two.

and FYI, GNOME SHELL lacks more features compared with unity. anyone who has used ubuntu for a while will instantly tell u that. and im pretty damn well sure i have done that for longer than u have


whether u like unity or not is another thing entirely

all4naija:
Simple in what sense? Third party repositories are needed sometimes if your Synaptic Manager is not having such updates(Unity is the father of adds- to- repositories -so, let's not go there) and it's an avenue to make more educational quest rather than simple in that sense. Changing of wallpapers and common indicators requiring repositories is one of the few misinformation about Ubuntu 11.10 I have ever come across or heard about. Anyway, there are nothing like those you just made mentioned of in the latest gnome 3.x.x releases.

i take this to mean u dont know what u are talking about.
i was not referring to applications for extended functionality, i am talking about normal core functions

how do u change the wallpaper (ubuntu already modded this anyway if u have another desktop installed), add a new shell theme, get your applications like pidgin to have and work with indicators when running gnome-shell?

what can u do with gnome-shell without gnome tweak which is available in the webupd8 ppa? or does your pidgin work with indicators in GNOME SHELL?

all4naija:
I therefore challenge you to try it, a trial will convince you. In my own case unity has never in any way impressed me to the very extent I have been fairly convinced of this gnome 3.x.x. It is a great improvement from the previous gnome 3 though.

Having said that, you need to move with what's new and let the old way be what it is. You need to learn the new improvement in the gnome or the latest releases in the unity. Oh! You use Ubuntu. What version would that be?

and this part i find purely amusing. i distinctly remember when u joined this community as a total green horn and now u are asking me to move with the times and which version im running? as in really? 5.04

by the way, gnome 3 is actually the source of all the tablet centric UI farts in 11.10 its just as eyesore.

i do not engage in desktop wars, its silly. it still the same ubuntu so what is the point? whatever desktop u run is your choice and taste.



I WAS TALKING ABOUT GNOME SHELL AND NOT GNOME 3, there is a difference cos i see u keep saying gnome 3.xx

if u dont know this clearly, this convo is a nonstarter then.

pls how exactly did u get ur eti sims to connect 3G?

my sim sees the damn network but refuses to connect unless i restrict to edge.

did what precisely? cell broadcast? how?
link?


truth be told, i got one of those win 7 themes a while ago,. i just cannot stand that UI. it depresses me

for me it makes no sense, its totally unlike anything and looks so simple its "retarded" in a way.

lets just say i wont buy a win 7 phone at any point in time.

nateevs:
Now I see why everyone has those opinions about you!
Good Lord! What's the point of this post?

what opinions?

full of yourselves much no?

i take it you have been absent from the sports section in recent times when this issue of stats became topical and folks were quoting stats from nowhere?

i take it also that this is the first time you have read of anyone being challenged to produce the source of his stats?

you were also blind when i for instance challenged coogar about some wrong stats he cited and he started mumbling some jargon quite similar to this crap u also posted?

please can you kindly tell me what is so earthshaking or wrong in being asked to produce the source of stats, did u not get them, supposedly that is, from somewhere? even better most likely online so its a simple matter of posting a link?


@lateef, seems u have a new found liking for butting into my business eh? please stop and look the other way esp if it does not concern you. or are u suffering from guilt trips? bloody phat phool

lynxnoon:
just dropped n ran 11.10 yesterday . . .yet to try out the gnome3, i hope its cool as u guys say cos right now i aint feeling this unity at all

dont think u will like gnome 3 either. its still too incomplete and featureless. it looks even far more simple and from what i gather u will have go add a loy of 3rd party repos to get things working even common indicators or changing wallpaper!


for unity, i just dont like the constant subtle changes, dash button moved to the unity bar instead of top bar, apps default into opening in "the background. well they make sense but im used to the old way so the change is confusing. its more stable than i thought it would be, even the pc i upgraded works fine. im sure it will be a hit on a tablet with a few more tweaks. u should try running it on a 40 inch screen. . .

also disccovered that xbmc now shows up as a login option even tho i had installed it as a app in ubuntu and not separately so i can now boot into xbmc straight. not bad, all in all

doubt if u wikk find ubuntu sef, tho truth be told it should not be on sales so its not a bad thing.

download it urself or ask someone to help u with the .iso

if u want ubuntu, ask for it on the ubuntu thread, i am very sure someone will help u. if u in lagos i could be of help too. its opensource, we help our community

dayokanu:
^^ Coogar, Which site do you ppl get the successful passes stats from?

DK, this question wey u ask ehn, hmmmnnnn u go tire o.

have u not heard that stats without source is the new "format" for NL.
awon agbaya oniro lo maan lo these days. the source will never manifest

just dey look ur own, when anybody don quote u stats, just shekpe for im grandpapa if im nor fit produce source.

debosky:
I back numerous youth players - I remember the days I used to be Nik's biggest advocate on this thread despite Dr Kit's love affair with Mumubayor.

From asking Gibbs to be played when Clichy was screwing up to supporting Mannone over Almumu's misbehaving I do support youth players within reason. What I don't do is instantly accept that they are ready for the first team because of youth performances.

Very, very few players make that rapid transition and it is the exception rather than the rule.

this is blatant waste of money. come to ojuelegba on sunday or agege township stadium. i will identify 11 players for the price of just squllacci.

hmmn there is life in this thread again.

@weaver, does ur windows guest see the modem when u enable usb? such that u can dial up in the vm and not network manager?
that never used to work for me o. my huawei modem works with network manager, but in a vm, it gets captured by the usb but does not work properly, the dashboard wont even detect a signal etc.


thot i was the only one wondering how ubuntu has gone thoroughly tablet ui crazy. radio buttons everywhere. explains why synaptic isnt default. a few more tweaks like not apps that cache in memory without closing and anor way of closing apps and we have a full blown tablet os.

worthy of note also is that JRE is no longer in the repos, so u either install openjdk or u manually install jre binary.

i upgraded my desktop at home. funny thing is it was fine, only issue is gnome-shell wont start. but im sure thats video card related though it runs unity 3d well.


going to put KDE on my office box dual boot and see how long it takes to aggravate me. its not bad, could be better. wish they would stop moving things so much, like the dash button. i was used to it being in the corner, now its part of the bar. the top bar is seemingly useless without a open application which of course is still global menu. confusion.

then again apps open in the background, new behavior. i would open a app, then wonder why it didnt open to the fore as per former behavior, only to find it running if i minimise the current app. takes some getting used to, hope after 6months it wont be changed again.

ubuntu sole boot with Wine and microxp in a VM running in seamless mode is the ulimate setup right now. thats my rig setup, and its great.

hmmn, is this not trafficking in human beings?  its acceptable in the east to sell human beings?

hmmn, weird. i coulda sworn you people used to moan about slave trade.  

then again i also wonder what justification we have to bitch about white people not treating us equally bla bla bla,  ffs we STILL sell ourselves for money.    Racist talk or not, the ibo man's psyche is truly interwoven with money such as to pervert his sense of propriety.  

sure most humans love money, but when your sense of right and wrong is beclouded as a result, then there is a problem.  prevalence is anor concern. shame

hehehehehe, too many experiences to recall, but one floats to the top easily.

there was this matter i had, defendant was indebted and refused to file a defence, nor even brief a lawyer. after the judge made me jump throughso many hoops i finally got a date for hearing of my motion for judgment. as usual the defendant had always had a spy in court so he was aware of the date.

on that date i was primed and ready, only for me to hear one scruffy looking female lawyer stand and announce appearance for the defendant. now i had seen her earlier and she even requested to sit beside me only to change her mind. ( i was to discover why later) . i did not know she was for the defendant at the time.

when i decided to go forward with the matter for the day, to my utmost shock this lawyer stood up and started shaking incontrollably. she then informed the judge in the same shaking mode and voice that she was just briefed but she was ill and asked for an adjournment. this is a matter that had been on for over a year.

i was literally stunned, my jaw dropped open!! i was stuttering, this was someone who was beside me and nothing was wrong with her. i pulled myself together and tried to inform the court but u can trust female collabo naw, the female judge granted an adjournment presto and even reprimanded me for being insensitive. the oversmart lawyer miraculously recovered immediately and smiled out of court.

it was a new and strange tactic to me, u could imagine my shock. what was worse was that i didnt know how to explain the event to my colleagues and the client with all my years, i felt belittled
