weird.

in my case everything works with eti but opera, yet everyone says opera works on etisalat!!

all of dem dey crase jare

@ Tnot, am in lagos. i was gonna tell u to come over to get a cd from me, but mahn sokoto? thats far.

cant u download it? no internet fast enuf there? i know a guy here on NL who stays in sokoto and does speed shots contests o



@ lynx, ok. thats nice

well dont get ur hopes up about unity. the real shizzle is in 11.04 alpha users. they get the real desktop as it progresses. its not available in a repo, at least that i know of. unless u want to add 11.04 repos to ur machine, whereupon u risk breakage

its different from the normal unity which is the one for netbooks

the unity 2D is a fork to ensure the desktop works on lightweight systems, its waay behind unity 3D in terms of features but accessible via repos
u can grab 2D to se, but dont be disappointed when its kinda not too fine, for now

@ lynx, u don turn don dada finally o.

hmmn, does that thing come automagically recognised? the modem i mean.

anyway, im not using the netbook desktop, thats unity 2D for low powered gpu. its available in a repo which is why i tried it. funny thing is after 2 days was getting used to that new bar.

its still buggy sha, so i returned to my normal desktop.
u know seeing ur desktop is kinda weird, i have not used a normal desktop layout with two bars like that since i installed 10.04!!!
my desktops are pimped, just one bar, global menu, docky below etc.

i fink the new look they pushing is a good idea with hindsight, am tired of the whole old look. the ish is to choose btw gnome and unity and from wat am seeing, without canonical's guidance, gnome is going to the dogs gradually, 3 yrs development and see where they are, unity is just 3 months development and they are close to a release


@Tnot, where do u reside?

4 real that mobster needs to do some philantrophy. 50 mill. smh

u dnt say! but then, aint no biggie, its their makeup. once a poncy kpalasa, always a kpalasa. wen dem name na munschit wetin u expect. shite

good game. dunno which was more amusing, bendtner trying fabregas-esque passes or squillaci doin his best doofus impression. sunderland next. we win that then id knw d season is still on. besides, seeing barca 1st half against valencia gives hope. the twetches look like blipping by their own standards.

tseew, failure, olodo oshi, at this rate na thirty points behind e go dey, im still dey yarn, terrapin

sharon, sauron, suara, cougar, bloke no dey just relent. smh

ok ok boiz lets not get too far ahead of urselves, its just manure u beat and considering wolves did it too, its not that big a deal. besides u alway bt em @ d bridge anyway.

normal service resumes henceforth, till u go to old trashford anyway. thats wen we will know wat stuff u pple made of.

for now, back to the crapcellotti and drogba debates.

besides why are u pple raising finances now? thot u always said it didnt matter? confused donkeys

@dk sharrap dia. tseew, agbaya old munschit terrapin like u, see who is talking doomed, u dey find person join bodi abi, u will mourn alone in the burnthisleaguearrn

@ docky, hmmn i nor kuku fear madrid o, and i also cannot idolise messi, if he played where men are mean and to the point, he would be a worse crock than u know who.

my ish is dt for the CL, the ability is there, but folks like mou just seem to have this mental advantage over monseuir wenger. can he apply the neccessary mental psyching for a game that important?

@ denzel, timely judicious and topical to-the-point posts sparingly done cannot be equated to the consistent, obssessive/compulsive tripe issued against arsenal by these stalkers

besides ur missing one important fact, switch is a confirmed chelsea hater, for me u folks are just light entertainment of a ribald nature, i even cheered when u beat the scummies!!!!

lol plus i dont post regularly on any enemy club thread, but chelsea this season, how can anyone miss the fun

sigh. broda ile okan, e maa wo mi o, i am allergic to dog bites.

and quite frankly u perhaps need to understand that the most important thing in ur lives is arsenal, check ur posts and compare the amount u made discussing with the one on ur pathetic clubs. see the picture? is there even anything u spend time on more than arsenal? u watch arsenal matches religiously, follow arsenal blogs, sites, know detailed info, etc on arsenal.

interpret the data urself, someone likw dk spends 90% of his nl time on arsenal thread discussing arsenal, u have just done 3 pages on this same issue, na wetin? lol, SMH

i feel sorry for u pple, u even watch more arsenal stuff than wenger sef. chei, see obsession.

sorry ehn, i no u pained abt the lack of trophy, we will win u many now onwards eh

yup. barca aside, if we had to face say madrid @ the semis, do we have the mental fortitude for it and i mean managerial wise? lets see sha.

wat i find even more annoying now is that after sunderland we dont get to play prem footy for weeks! so utd could drop six points and we wont have the luxury of psychological boost overhauling them would bring for weeks. anyway, long may they blip and would it not be fantastic to confirm the title against them at emirates?

rate at which all these donkeys and monkeys keep braying and screaming 6 yrs is worrisome. it clearly is the most important thing in ur miserable lives, and u folks appear more eager for it to end

erm lets see if this makes sense.


in the last 5 years, man utd have the largest stadium with consistent attendances which equal large profits

in the same period man utd have made such windfalls such as 80 mill from c. ronaldo sale

in the same period, man utd have entered new lucrative sponsorship deals earning them even more money than most clubs around

in the same period man utd has won trophies and made inroads in comps that earned then large sums of money

man utd is arguably the biggest brand name in the premier league with money spinners world over

in this same period man utd has consistently declared gargantuan losses running close 500 mill plus or more (dont have the latest figures)

at the present time man utd's accounts are in the red despite their best efforts at remedying that situation, such that talk of acquiring another set of sugar daddies is being floated



Arsenal on the other hand as admitted and publicly known has

embarked on large projects in addition to the football business with monies borrowed and secured with long term deals

arsenal has sponsorship agreements that they are tied into long term to support their expenditures in the projects like stadium development and estate development.

arsenal is not known to be a commercial brand in the leagues of man utd and madrid etc and as such do not make as much from those areas as utd

arsenal has also not had the benefit of large cash injections from winning competitions or crazy 80 million sales in this same period

arsenal do not and have not had sugar daddies

in short, Arsenal do not make as much money as man utd, Arsenal also have serious obligations which further hamper their ability to make more money, yet owe far less and have better financials

arsenal in the past five years have somewhat declared profits and even going by the poster's tenous assertions have a half year financial account showing debt that amounts to a fraction of what utd owe



@ poster, lets just say you will never ever make a career out of financial knowledge, and frankly, i advise you immediately employ an adviser for the pennies in your pocket, you may discover why u still are not a millionaire all this while

you mean that you think arsenal is in a bad shape or worse than utd? should in case you are thinking DK and Sauron are in agreement with you, i can assure u, they simply have nothing better to do and are yarning their usual opata, they know better


AND FOR THE RECORD, AM GLAD YOU SAY UR NO LONGER A GUNNER, IF U EVER REALLY WERE ANYWAY, we like our fans smarter

personally, i have crossed out the CL.

for me thats a bridge too far, the only feasible way i see to get past that is a goalless draw or a scoring draw, frankly, except messi and xavi cop injuries before the match, thats mission impossible.

or do you see the team defending against barca for 90 mins resolutely? even last terms inter didnt and as for the open yoyo attack game, @ camp nou, man u come up short all the time o.


as someone said, far more pressing is the FA cup and the league. how i wish i could actually beat my chest and say categorically that we will take advantage of utd's loss.
alas, monsieur bartender and cham dont seem to see the vision

the FA is my last hope, if we get past utd, one off game, we will probably end up at wembley again. hopefully this time around, wenger will not suffer a relapse and remove arshavin for his two hopeless giraffes.



the weekend was sad, but we got to move forward, better this than losing at the first hurdle and having to watch other teams get thru 6 matches to a cup final. u always rooting for their opponents, they keep winning, u keep hating the events

@ lynx, so u still dey for NL? how naw.

come u running Alpha 11.04? haa home of the brave!! my oga i wan be like u o!!

@ goodmuyis, i almost thot u was me good pal muyisco, anyways welcome to the thread, tho u may actually be the youngest ubuntu user here thereabouts



@ lynx, thou shalt not try any full distro on that dinosaur o, i dont want to hear about a fire incident o (very likely )


anyways, so gist me about 11.04, whats it been like? there was a slew of updates yesterday for it too so u may wanna update and see.

have u heard the new move from gnome 3 crew? they removed the minimise and maximise buttons

anyways they have since restricted their test audience to gurus, since u have to compile the damn thing to use it, and that thing is pretty much hit and miss for now
but frankly, i think its not a good move, most folks grew up conditioned to those buttons, as of now most people dont even use the multiple desktops mush less the workspaces idea.

the next month is gonna be interesting for we siddon look folks

new stuff afoot. finally the installer will now allow upgrades from the cd or iso, without formats or losing old apps or repos

about time too

indeed, we see

err i really dunno o. guess its cos its new and unfinished but the design just looks out of place for a full blown computer, however that being said, aint NOBODY gonna say this looks like windows, and im willing to bet that windows for tablets is gonna copy this thing.

thats said, i guess its fine for a netbook or a slate, lets see what the finished thing is besides this is the 2D desktop, i read that there is supposed to be the main 3D desktop that looks exactly like this one too but functions a bit different and has more eyecandy and effects ( it sure could do with effects)

what i find most jarring for now is the file manager. the design is all smooth and pretty till u open the file manager and u get the same old nautilus look! had to change my background to black to compensate and i stil havent figured out how to change the icon set. i think they need to redesign the nautilus look to look exactly the same or at least integrate better with the menu and workspaces look.


that being said, i may be wrong because all iv done is install the 2D desktop on my already pimped gnome and from past desktops addition experience, they always jar themselves. all in all its not bad, not bad at all and definitely adds identity. this looks nothing like any other os. and somebody pls tell mint crew to get rid of that windows like menu they use


aaha now we see what the mint team will do, shebi they have been making mouth and insulting canonical, let the mumus build their own desktop now or they will keep maintaining gnome 2, they think modifying an already made desktop/os is a sign of genius, woe betide them if they ever come out with unity desktop, i will make life unbearable for them on that their site, ingrates

na happylink bundles o, and na mtn to mtn seconds.

better use ur moni chop suya jeje

awon omo olori ire fe je aiye oba, won fe de ade, olorun a fun yin se o! amin.

GOONERS TENHUTT!!! The red and white army is taking over london tonite.

WHAT!! jeez .

u mean the frustration is now so bad u pple shooting folks? haaaa.

switch beware o, shey u can see the chavs are now muderation, duck o.

chai see failure, next we go hear naw, na somebdy go jump off thames or hang in the dressing room ceiling. too bad

anor

2 ;d

who is joining the fun.

cant be bothered to compile gnome 3 so am giving it a pass for now

i agree the chap is shyte. but ur old fart is playing him constantly, unless u saying u know better than the old man, then he is the best at this moment

na wah o, when ur shyte ur shyte, simple

pls do not egg that old man further o, i dont want to read that he has jumped off the nearest bride.

but watching the disgrace live on local tv just emphasised the rubbish more n more, pls where were all those so-called world beaters? bolton would walk that league comfortably.

chai dk, try chop sumtin o, life neva end eh, and stay away fron ropes, poisns and tall places or buildings

hmmnn, but i don get what is paining them there, why couldnt they just guarantee the boi first team footy in the kings cup @ 18?

and why didnt they simply match arsenal's offer either way? which one be say e pain dem, nor be straight forward economic/personal reasons?

abeg bo, make we hear word, sunday beckons

oh shucks, the maggots are crawling outta their hiding places. thats why dey call u pple fair weather fans. one win and the thread is starting to look like the bottom of a psp dumpster.

oya tell us sumtin new again o, apart from the fact u think the devil is from mars.

shey its now Champs lge, after beating fc copenhagen, alrite. the bathroom gutter wan turn river, make we dey look

eyoniggar:
^^^^ I sympathetically share that notion with you. Winning the Milk cup is
deservedly worth a 5 year drought after-all. Haba!!

oh ok, now its JUST the milk cup eh?

spare urself the embarassment.

soon, it will be just the prem, then just the Champs, then it will be just one league title, then just 2 trophies outta 4, then just 4 trophies.

mumus

and i also guess when ur dumb club won the milk cup after 50 years and 300 million investment in the squad it was just milk cup then eh? just listen to your arse dribble words like a tap.


not ur fault sha, the beating is taking a toll, senility is apparent
