Also do not miss the comments, at least there u find lots of pple who have been using it too.

i will format the damn thing tomorrow evening. 3 days is long enough to occupy hard drive space on my pc.

btw, anyone here figure out how to install in virtualbox? i tried severally, following various tips but no success

i see moonraker already put up screenies.

NOW MY VIEWS ARE FOCUSED TOWARDS PROPER, HEAVY, VARIED, COMPETENT USAGE OF A COMPUTER, NOT CHECKING FACEBOOK AND WATCHING MOVIES, ENTERTAINMENT ONLY TYPE OF USE.

now if this was a tablet os strictly, im cool.
except i do not understand a tablet os that occupies close to 15 gb hard disk space, has a registry, etc etc put in the standard windows foibles. obvious advantage tho is that it can do wHat most desktop os do too, mount external drives etc.
tablets for now top off averagely at 64 GB memory. 128 GB is criminally expensive.
so by today's standards, a win 8 tab will be more expensive than a ipad? thank God its not final for the next year, maybe by then 128GB ssd go don turn purewater.


then again, on a p4 fresh install, win 7 boots up for me in 40 secs max. so this thing that actually does not shut down/boot up doing it on a fresh install in 10 secs is not news. ubuntu does that too on a SSD, and keeps its speed.
after installing apps and using for a week, u and i know that claim goes to the dogs for windows.


good thing you folks think its win7 done up, actually its not. its a mere attempt at keeping semblance with the old. click on the start menu button and what do u get?
now i aint saying its a bad thing.

now like i pointed out elsewhere, they put in HYPER-V and went overboard with it. practically everything thats not tied to the Metro UI runs in the hyper vm. now u suspend apps in ram wen u close or minimise. seems smart, if u are using a phone that is.
they have been marketing this thing as a desktop OS, how much RAM will pc's have to come with ideally for win8? i put on y pc, start my browser, check some stuff, put on some music, run some other stuff, put on Call of Duty 3, alt-tab to do something else . . . . . . . . . . . how much ram am i gonna have before it slows down to a grind.

ITS A GOOD IDEA ON A TABLET, NOT ON A DESKTOP PC!!!!!!! that one na angry birds etc e dey run



now usage. it is such a steep learning curve that for once i wont be afraid to introduce anyone to linux, i simply say guy, its easier than learning win 8, how on earth do they expect everyone who is conditioned to pointing and clicking to figure out how to multitask and be productive with this crap on a pc? it cannot make up its mind on what it wanna be, now u in metro, next u in legacy win32 VM, merely switching between open apps when u have more than 2 open is atrocious. u need to be a keyboard junkie. i can imagine making all those pple who went to ikeja pc school learn keyboard shortcuts after being conditioned to mouse.


frankly, its a shock for anyone. even u so called tech savvy will spnd the 1st 3 days feeling your way round.


IF THEY WANNA MAKE A TABLET OS, MAKE ONE, CALL IT WIN 8 TAB OR SOMETHING, DONT ABUSE THE GOOD WORK BY TRYING TO DECEIVE PPLE TO USE THIS SHYTE ON A PC.

                                                                                 

coogar and DK don get mouth now oooooooo.


anyways, notin dey happen, catch the vibe, get the feelings, yes ooooo


3 wins  in 16 games.
has to be a first in world football that a team's manager's job is'nt under threat after such a run

2 own goals

1 goal from clear defensive mismanagement aka lack of organisation and leadership, other 3 from blatant stupidity.
if anything i am no longer buying this bull about koscielny, nucca should be fined for the shambles in that defence. clearly the other slow one did'nt even know what was really going on.  

i hope its true that monsieur Santos is truly not fit. i can do much better physically after 3 rounds and 5 bottles


if anything, am i the only one who thinks our coach needs help, from a proper defensive coach?  this is a recurring thing year in year out, despite personnel.  whatever it is steve bould and the rest do, its definitely not good enough.


aint gonna complain tho, i can reel of a long litany of excuses, bottom line is they are excuses

onto the next one, but be careful, top 4 is looking highly unlikely, and honestly missing out wont be a bad thing.


i feel sorry for wenger and his board, their ruse to get fans going again just aint working

well as much as i appreciate your view and desire  @ poster if i were to be your husband, i would be wary about why you are so insistent on avoiding my brother.

all this talk of gbogbo aso ko la saa lorun only goes to show you have something to hide, something which you do not want me your husband to find out.

we all know that if it were to be a case of "because he will examine my body", the its not tenable. the stranger whom you wanna go meet is not going to touch your body?
or his touch is different from my brother?

the bro is a medical doctor, your own itty bitty parts cannot be the first he has seen neither will they be the last. neither will your arcane medical condition be the worst. you fail to give doctors credit, they know a lot more than they show about lots of pple. even the female docs don't even run their mouth so much. spare the bull

unless of course, he has been making advances at you, which would be anor reason you are trying to avoid him without hubby's knowledge.


personally i think you simply do not want your skeletons to be exposed, either way.


its your problem though. but word of advice, next time you want to avoid that type of scenario, you build it up. u create a backdrop for it before the need to go there arises e.g.

how you dont wanna go there because u don't want to be a parasite, free treatment bla bla bla
how doctor so and so is sooo good, and handles your medical issues superbly, he know you treatment  blablabla
how the other hospital is much more convenient, and profitable for u to use etc.

so that when u express the desire to go to anor place, there is a background for it

if there was a serious emergency and your hubby's bro is the only doctor around to treat you, even if it warrants inserting all 10 fingers into the inbox, would you decline?

shame sha, that you are playing dangerous games

Chuckdee:
Why would you want to call Win 8 an atrocity? Why would you want to start a flame war? You sincerely think Win 8 is crap at this stage of the OS? Well, I do like you to point me to your flame war thread and I would prove how wrong you are.

YIPPEEEEEE

a fanboy picks up the gauntlet. note: i do this for kicks and thrills of a stimulating tech convo, devoid of the usual crap on computer section

erm, i will put up the thread friday night so we can do this over the weekend. now there is no time.
i hope the useless bots and its owners will lets us spar in peace

basically, that thing is not for a PC, merging and calling it suitable for both is idiotic. the so called 7mode is nothing but an emulator without even the luxury of a proper start menu/toolbar. the legacy support is downright ridiculous, after dumping u back in a emulated win32 environment, how are u supposed to use a touchscreen for legacy apps? etc etc etc


do not reply here. i will put up the thread later. i intend to be fully armed with video and screenshots PLEASE LETS NOT DERAIL THIS THREAD.

no answer?

so na marketing una dey do for here? smh.


anyway, @ lynx wats not working on latest MIUI? i miss rom flshing, havent flashed a rom in a month.

gonna nandroid backup my flavoured stock and try MIUI 1.9.9 there are some tasty looking custom kernels out for xperia now.

im hearing things like 0% to 5% battery drain in 10 hrs deep sleep with some really good cpu governor mods.

[size=5pt]rubs hands with glee and smiles like its xmas morning [/size]

the amount of hoops to jump through in the name of using this una iphone sef na wah o.

upon say the money wey una buy am reach marry new wife for seun village, na then the wahala just start.

good luck to una o

^^^^^^

GENGEN. act 1 scene 1 don start. the texazz show is in town


meanwhile, @ tex, me and u need to start a thread on WIN8. i wanna start a beef war and flame M$ for that atrocity called WIN8.
im sure u will willingly defend them
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


anyways, where na2day when u need him sef. pls @ all i wanna format my sd card to ext2 only. infact i already did but my fone no recognise am.
i thought i read that GB enabled reading from ext partitions.

anyway i wanna do that. pls how can i? i need an answer oooo. else una no go rest oooo

seconded.

tapatalk is a minimum that ought to be used here.


matter of fact, lets try to get NL apps for smartphone platforms. lets move up with the times a bit.

for example, take a look at the xda devs app on android, stuff like that. very convenient. much more preferable for me to use instead of haggling with a browser.

im laffing so hard.

one fo0l even quoted bible passage. what exactly is the point to the school we go to in nigeria when supposedly educated people turn up with this type of things and fail to even think about what they have ben told?

if its not killer beans, its indomie, disappearing dik, turning into goat, now killer phonecall.
the stoopidity is improving whilst the donkeys are getting dafter. mcheew. you should be ashame.of yourself if you ever gave any moment to the ridiculous tale

foolish people with backwards mentality.

in this day and age.

anyway, not surprised, afterall, this same people queue up every sunday to be told fantabulous stories about all manner of incredibly illogical things.

I DO NOT INTEND TO START A FLAME WAR OR A OS DEBATE OR SUPERIORITY CONTEST OR WHATEVER. MY VIEWS ARE MINE, YOU DONT HAVE TO AGREE WITH IT.
i may also not deem it fit to respond to any posts if i think that it will start a M$ vs . . . . . debate


where the techies?

have u seen the atrocity windows are making?

pls download the preview and run in a VM.

for a tablet, which is what its about really, its not bad. where it annoys me is calling this thing a desktop OS, and telling me the old desktop can be run like a app somewhere. rubbish.

pls try it and see the crap.


as for suspending apps in ram, yes bright idea, on paper. and on a fone, even a pad, but on a PC, as in really?

how much ram am i gonna have to get to use this? They present this as being compatible with 1gb ram and a host of underpowered hardware.

The freaking OS is on and utilising the ram for services, i start my browser, start a music player or something, have the antivirus running, run COD, have my feeds polling, IM running, etc etc and they are all going to suspend in ram when im not in them?

and FFS, the reg is still the same. a tablet with a registry!!

Aping apple is one thing, doing an absolute shocker of the crap is another. OSX is freebsd linux based, they make their own underpowered fine boi hardware to specs they determine. they have their loyal supporters. this is just an overkill in the name of getting into the tablet wars. TABLETS ARE NOT THE ONLY THINGS IN COMPUTING IN THE WORLD. ARE WE GOING TO RUN COMPANIES ON TABLETS NOW?


i guess when you are big enough you can do anything and get away with it, but this is plain crap. welcome to vista part 2

blink182:
Very true but BB is a serious business tool and when it comes to communication, [b]android and iphone are for kids except of course your have skype. [/b]BB is the business phone for the globe trotter who needs to be in touch constantly with family and associates. I've used all and BB still appeal the most especially as regards communication.

really?

well given the fact that you have no tech cred, little knowledge and zero common sense, i think u can just continue wallowing in your ignorance then

this is weird, in a good way.
we are doing the things we never used to do. play poorly and win. good tidings eh.

the burnthisleagueaaaaaarh chumps are going down.

i am ready to unleash the dome-headed one on them. EVERYBODY SAY GERVINHOOOOOOOOOO

El Guapo:
[color=#0066ff]I Would have loved this! [/color]

this one wants to play a midfield of a geriatric and a fancy footed loafer. clearly coaching will never be your forte.


make una leave torres o. afterall na una carry una legs and money go meet am.

so who is going to be the next coach? cuz this oneis not anywhere near a trophy. saturday beckons. na where yansh go start exposure be dat

slimshay:
DK has got to have a series of the wackest siggies on Nairaland. Before na futon mat now that drugs i-phone.

Now, away from the technologically advanced animal kingdom, human beingses how una deys.

@Debo, stop making excuses jor. Injury ko, injury ni. Real professionals play with broken legs Arsene is a fool for buying weak boned players. . . . . . .wow, feels sweet to be a sour puss . What an oxym0r0n! Abi is dat oxy-chamber-chamahk? Damn didnt know what I was missing when I wasn't yabbing the team.

They are all f00ls, garbage, shyte shyte shyte, mehn. Mehn no wonder Sharon is always here, it feels like heaven mehn.

quit acting silly. before u start to look like a donkey. everybody knows your head is so far up arsene's ass it will take a crowbar to remove it

@ amblors check this link, it has been deleted or blocked or something.

i see that u posted it here again ni, i initially thought it was re-upped, but i see its the same.

cheers bro

^^^

yeah right. na 2day? becos ur crappy team don dey chance pple naw, u dey get mouth know say swansea never score goal.
before the match who get better form between arsenal and swansea?

it was'nt about the performance, for the next one month it is'nt. its about getting points whilst getting a grip on the football once again.

funny thing is, i have this hunch that we will make more signings in january. nations cup will deplete that midfield of its enforcers. and by then the culling of the rubbish will continue too.

anyways, all road lead to improvement sha. any which way na way.


[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=743413.msg9128182#msg9128182 date=1315813721]What's happened to 4ller?I prefer those transformer huggers association's rants to these optimistic views jare. [/quote]i see u adopted the bad press i was getting from debo.

lets just say i have been vindicated. i foresaw the slump. right now im looking forward to the resurgence. and hoping that the useless people get the boot esp at management level too.

still not wenger's biggest fan, i must reiterate. but notwithstanding i love my team.

[quote author=dipo+ link=topic=743413.msg9125417#msg9125417 date=1315763252]Lol. Wetin u mean na?[/quote]

guy between me and u, u sef know na. i sure say that man na illuminati or something.


anyways, its all good. we shall see, but im kinda sure we cannot be worse than we have been since march.

for folks who are complaining, u guys dont realise that win sef na big deal.


thats our 3rd win in the last 15 games!!!!!. our form is so bad even relegated teams have better form within that period
we have a rubbish squad (for now), with new players both bought and promoted. we also have little or no morale, coupled with perennial weak mentality.

nobody believes in the team anymore, even the players, deep down. even the manager sef confess say it has been difficult

dudes, till we put together a winning streak of 5 games or more, take every point we get as priceless and stop complaining.


for all you know by next weekend, we may have leapfrogged liverpool. thats how fickle the table is,


GOONERS AHOY!!! JOOOR OH, anything other than a gunner na winch!

did i just see 72 grand?

word of advice, pls dont waste your time, or money. nobody is gonna buy a console for that price (u havent even factored in duty and profit)

i thot this thing was sold for around $400 in the US now?

abeg is facebook down or its my account thats been hacked? havent logged on all day.

cuz am suspecting one useless bible app i downloaded o. kinda weird.

@jencyjyde, go to the unilag sports center, ask for the chess club, its upstairs at the indoor hall, go in the evenings around 4.



greet those folks for me. i used to be a member there way back wen them bunmi and aigboje were regulars there.

^^^ which is why i will also predict that the title is heading to north london.

our squad even in its haphazard state is not close to full strength, forget Initial gragra JOOR.

let them score all their goals now, we have been there before when 6-0 scorelines were our specialty and large point gaps were normal by november, it usually went tits up.

leave story, lets see aguero score hattrick in the middle of winter first.

as for fergie, well . . . . . . . . . . God dey

hmmn, crumble sha.

they crossed the psychological barrier last season by winning the FA cup. they can win the league, and unless mancini is a dullard, by now he should know the league better. do not write them off.

its like writing arsenal off after we break the hoodoo of winning a trophy. u simply gotta be a fo.o.l to do that.

notin dey par joor, by the time we meet the next big team, we will have our mojo back. plus gervinho, hehe, lets go there. . . . . v

pulling whose legs? i benchmarked my own fone.

thats on my fone, not a pic online.

thing is the other fones are benchmarks on stock rom, i run stock too, just have blessed it with my touch.
its me o, the GREAT 4LL3RBUNTU!!!!



that spb shell thing looks interesting. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

match time is 7pm not 9pm, who dey mislead NL pple so?

btw wetin be scores?

hope say madrid go win o, cos una aready dey 6pts behind- 2 el-clasicos na as usual na

meaning u need to be 6 pts ahead to be level on pts with cuntaloonians. then lge go come start

dunno why una dey complain.

i will go deosky on ur azzes soon. this team lost by 8 goals last game. they won, as in actually won. . . . . .

give the complaining a rest. yes they were glaring inadequacies, but mahn for real?


utd drew like how many games in a row begnning of last season, and couldnt buy a win outside OT till like november or later.

chelsea went 12 pts up, and lost gallantly count ur blessings pple

hmmm, phew, that was close.

thank God o, at least na 3pts.
