MAD BAAAAAABYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! THERE U ARE,
MAD SUGAR, MAD LOVE!!!!! hws the heater, i see u dumped it, ha why naw?
u guys have been thru a lot 2geda, why ditch em? lol.

have u been avoiding me dont tell the truth o!!!! just say what comes to ur mind first

wats up, hw u doin? hws the snow, that lappie culd be really handy now but u had to go and dump it!!

hey there's cold here too so put it in a box and UPS it to me, id really appreciate it u know, wonderful xmas gift eh, multi tasking laptop/heater!!!

WATS GUD?

Ur mouthed n 4kasibe-ed!

By d way lets get technical. wondermenting if on can downgrade from dis grub2 palava 2 grub legacy wit a previous ubuntu livecd?

Or in short downgrading grub from a livecd. Me i dunno hw im gonna uninstall grub2 from a terminal and connect my dialup internet from terminal and download n install grub legacy! Am no geek

Where is my nemesis oyb? U don go look ur ubuntu install well again shey? D thing is too yori yori abi? Correct man!

Confirm ur game compatibility 1st o my gamer, not all dt glitters is panda!

Nah! Short of sending my PA wit my hummer 2 isolo 2 come get it.

Lynx wan buy terabyte drive? Haaa! Mo gbe. Mtn don suffer o! Mushin mast go soon blow! LMAO

Young man u no fit download all d content on d net! Eh!

Cool functionality. We have them too. But oyb, d last time u booted ur ubuntu, apart from this ur editing xml thingy which honestly i dunno wat it is as per function, all d oda stuff are sittin there waiting 2 be tapped.

A right click/ application launcher, ur 2 task bars are there waiting 2 be used as u deem fit, add wat u like, remove wat u dnt like! Firefox, because of GPL origins is slightly different from d 1 in windows and has d same winfox integration thingy by default. Any of d candy bars like cairo dock etc complete d job.

We aint doing badly on dt front u knw!

Apparently according 2 u guys dis 7 is d best tin 2 happen 2 computing since linus torvalds! Now imagine if MS took a cue from oda os and did try 2 cure some of d not so visible kinks dt have been there for ever! Like doing away with a registry! Sure it will mean a redesign from base but d reg is d biggest security flaw in windows!a lot of malware target d reg.

Or even d filesystem flaws that cause defragmentation! Oda os do not have these flaws!

Ms has d largest market share and their customers aint going nowhere in a hurry. They can afford 2 get it right but that will be bad 4 business. All those multibillion dollar biz that survive on d flaws in windows!

There is absolutely no way u can tell me that MS cannot or does not have brains who can do better. If students out of mit and freelance coders can make such good os and wares, hw can d big corp be unable to?

Besides, dt line usually trotted out about hardware problems and linux isnt true. For 1, most manufacturers do not bother about oda os apart from windows yet i can authoritatively say that its a rare hardware dt wont work in linux, and usually u can always work round such problems by using d drivers available by soiling. This is something that is done in windows too!

Eg on xp, i usually do not look for drivers for plug n play hardware! Eg bluetooth, printers etc. Xp comes with some drivers for specific manufacturers. I edit d .inf of those drivers, add my hardware to it, test it, modify as appropriate and its working! Thats wat i do too in linux so its no biggie! But trust MS, in vista they of course made it a lot harder 2 do dt! So u hav 2 go cap in hand 2 ali baba and his numerous crooks.

I dont bother with stuff like pc suite 4 dial up wit my fone for example. U can do stuff witout all d extras!

Whick brings 2 d fore how many of all our diehard windows enthusiasts even know a fifth of wat they can do wit their os? All those things u cue up for, even ur beloved game hacks! Most do not even knw how to hack a securom cd, or even wat an iso image is!

And even at that d average user-centric linux os comes with far more out of d box wares 4 functionality than windows. I dont need 3rd party apps 4 a large amount of every day stuff i do. Hell i even rip images in 5 diff formats straight up!

If u have been thinking dt am rabidly anti ms, ur right 2 some extent but not exactly true. Iv forgotten how to do more stuff in windows than most pple HAVE BOTHERED TO TRY AND LEARN! So yes iv used and still use (at work) windows, but i know it can be beta and it should but deliberately ms wont make it so!
And 4 avoidance of doubt, linux is a great tool, ultimately every software is a tool. U pple just do not understand that going head 2 head wit d monied adversary means he can always demarket u extensively and of a truth 80 percent of d stories abt linux aint true! And its galling wen pple spout it.

Eg if u install windows on a pc, even d video card wont work and u go driver hunting, wireless, sound, camera etc. On dt same pc guaranteed worst case scenario 2 wont work, which u probably will have 2 copy and paste from a webpage some cmd lines into a terminal and ur hardware is working! Or at worst u download a driver which is what u do for windows all d time! But u dont hear alarm 4 windows, they run here askin 4 where 2 get it or go to their nearest 'engineer' who charges a princely sum for their stupidity! Av seen pple install otigba antivirus 4 5 grand! Such mumu will come here bragging win7 is so cool!

Bottom line is are u learning or are u a mumu? In linux u learn anyway. besides if ur truly into all dis comp stuff linux is a wonderful learnin enviroment! Even d great oyb has a couple of linux distros n he aint dead yet is he? Lol. We knw as he dey go, wat is really annoying is 2 see ignoramuses trying 2 put down wat they dont knw jack about!


Nb. In my opinion mac is much of d same wit windows, they are just a lil berra becos at least apple tries 2 give dem value 4 d princely sum they pay! If only d mumu would reduce his greed and officially share codes so pple will make free wares 4 d mac. Then will he truly compete!

Besides considering d tons of issues about windows on this blog alone, will dt now justify d assertion dt windows is no good?

Point of correction my dear friend. Iv bin on nl since feb 2007 and btw then and now av gone thru 4 usernames! Back wen d attraction was d amazing amount of pirated, illegitimate stuff u could get here b4 seun developed 'a sense of social responsibility'

Infact a bit earlier cos i remember it was here i got d settings for econet dial up! But wasnt too regular though.

Then 4 d oda guy, ur complaining about installing 8YR OLD WARE IN A MAC OR LINUX BOX? Gawd!

And new hardware when windows users regularly complain about some drivers in win7 like d oda guy admitted!

Ever heard d adage about saying notin if u have notin 2 say?!

And have u also ever heard unless ur pc has some esoteric hardware a linux os will not need drivers? Am sure u dnt even knw dt!

Hmmn, typical sha, know so little, talk about it.

@oyb, so we are finally agreed on 1 vital point i.e. Linux aint 4 geeks, as im no geek and using it comfortably!  

Actually, 4 all those who think linux is some esoteric thing from space, its really isnt! And it is also point and click! D cmds dnt bite besides av never heard any1 call windows difficult simply bec u had 2 run a cmd, say bthprops.cpl 2 use ur bluetooth!

Stop peddling misinformation!

Wat was d point 2 d debate? Comparing views n sharing opinions OR a slanging match up? Shld in case u didnt notice i never addressed d person in derogatory terms! Only d ideas, and expressions. Take a cue.

And ur so amusing, now ur teaching me hw to use d quote button! I was in a hurry n culdnt be bothered. Besides u have failed 2 address d points i raised from ur initial post. Selective myopia no?

Am perfectly willin 2 continue dis entertainin discourse AS LONG AS ITS NOT TAKEN INTO D GUTTER!
And 4 avoidance of any doubts, Zap windows, in wateva form and in a 100 languages.

--nb: onlookers, watch 'winblows fan boy blow his top' hilarious!!!!!

"how you perceived that the guy give piracy guides is beyond me - but then i guess that what we can expect from linux fan boys - an inability to comprehend anything beyond hijacking threads. """
i thot i read tht the guy gives support for the games and they even get requests from pple using pirated copies? and if the guys were porting games, do u think the original owners were just looking like mumu while he was selling?

"i guess thats why u're so obsesssed with linux- its the way you identify yourself as a super geek. sadly all you do on nl as far as we can see is ask more seasoned veterans for help." really?, ahem pray do tell when and where?.


its really sad that you can't read. do i need to repaste in bigger letters?
this is the link to linux game publishing who publish commercial games, and who have gotten into the drm game
http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/
so you can stop with the ridicolus crap about porting games to linux. you lot are always blathering about how windows is a rip off of linux, sup with the volte face?" sorry but what does this line in ur initial quote mean:
"For many years Linux Game Publishing (LGP) had been releasing Linux-ported versions of popular games with no copy protection or DRM."
ok so he says he is releasing copyrighted games under a free licence?

"how you perceived that the guy give piracy guides is beyond me - but then i guess that what we can expect from linux fan boys - an inability to comprehend anything beyond hijacking threads. """
i thot i read tht the guy gives support for the games and they even get requests from pple using pirated copies? and if the guys were porting games, do u think the original owners were just looking like mumu while he was selling?


really oyb, its ok am about to go offline and really this discussion is losing coherence! AND U REALLY NEED TO READ UR POSTS PROPERLY AND MARSHALL YOUR POINTS TOO how can you be quoting stuff that is opposite your premise?

forgive me but i guess other pple read this thread too and really u need to cut down on the confrontational abuse part. its not needed. then about redhat, they opened a commercial arm because unlike other distros, they decided to become a corporation working for companies officially as i said. the linux world is generally on its own with no monetary support so its difficult for makers to provide the sort of support a coy would need or want. they STILL SUPPORT MANDRIVA FOR THE HOME DESKTOP ENVIROMENT. am sure even you know that there is a difference in the support you as a consumer get from microsoft and the one an enterprise consumer gets?!!!

drop this debate and start celebrating ur win7 abeg, wat dumb thing will u pple think up next, hw many colors ur taskbar can display?

anyway, i dont see you pointing fingers cos all four other fingers point to windows users. the drm, piracy issue is a pain in the butt for windows. they shoul live with it. besides a nigerian shouldnt be heard complaining about piracy, unless of course ur a musical artiste

besides all those rave of the moment games like world of warcraft etc are readily available in linux too, na internet no dey make una play them and of course they are not free!!! sorry naija pple.

look the reality is the games makers dont want to make games for linux because they may have to give it for free or less than what they getting in windows. most of them make for macintosh! and in linux believe you me cracking your game will be childs play for the geeks. they will do it just for the lunch break. how many pple know hw to use cmd line in windows? or even get programming tools and use them. those things are a click away in linux or come with the OS!

bottomline, the really smart people are ripping out the source codes for those games and using them as a template for making free linux versions! sorry not too many of the geeks are into gaming or else that would be the most developed part of linux. and as iv said, if ur pc is with good specs most of your windows game will work in wine!!!!! no degrading! i play my football manager in linux and though its not too heavy on vga, 1gb is very ok for it, it does fine. try your games and get the latest wine. infact its mostly because of gaming that they keep improving wine.
if u cant make the games cos of piracy, at least help the pple who get the pirated windows copies run it in linux!

i hope to see one day when u can run linux/mac/opensolaris apps in windows natively too. that time jesus go don come/go

well you need to be more precise as to the nature of the problem, its not browsing could be due to any number of factors.

please tell us as simply and as detailed as possible what the problem is, how you try to use it, what goes on when u try to use it, what error it gives etc

redhat is not free, but then they do not target the home desktop users! they are in biz trying to extend the pleasures and functionality of linux to commercial enterprises, along with support!

basically if u cant hire trained pple to administer your linux platform for you, they offer to provide solutions, sotware and people to do it for you. They gave up the desktop game some time ago!!! besides in case u did not know they are the ones who back mandriva linux to satisfy their obligations to opensource! they support that albeit not intensively like they do for redhat. and mandriva is free and pretty good too.

As per the games issue, like i told you, im no game head, but then does'nt that sound like something YOU windows users instigated? apparently some folks have been doing the usual pirated stuff for the games and porting them to linux! as it stands if a game is developed under the GPL, it is free!!! the ones in question were not under the GPL

apparently, the dumbass ur quoting has been running an official support for stolen games etc, wat do u think will happen from the coys who are getting ripped off? and that line about HAVING to do this is just crap. they offered the guy the opportunity to run his game and make some money off it and of course he took it.

video production, i dont know, am not into that hae never taken interest. will do some research though!
my point is those games you are referring to are not developed under the free linux license or even for linux at all, some game freaks were the ones doing the porting of pirated versions. the owners got nasty!!

as a matter of fact, im surprised though i dont knw much about the gaming thing anyway. but if there are actually those games in existence, then why do u pple keep moaning about the lack of gaming in linux? its not any different from what u pple do in windows as in piracy!!!

look linux is modular, pple add to the knowledge base everyday. what is critical is mostly support and that ids why a distro like ubuntu is very popular and successful, there is good support for it!

hmmmn, interesting things blogs. imagine this discussion a few years ago!

well, i dunno but i think some of the assumptions above have been proven wrong! naija factor!

anyway, i appreciate the constraints but the question remains, is the technology available actually capable of delivering genuine broadband over-the-air? i think not, but am no professional.

the way i see it progress in this wise is simply the delivery of genuine broadband to end users! i dont need 100Mbps at home, i just need to have internet that will do all i throw at it as an end user! anything short of that is a failure!

i guess now we wish we never made such a mess of nitel and all those copper cables!!!

how many world class building /machines/ vehicles have been designed on software running on linux?
how many world class video games have been built on software running on linux?
how many world class movie special effects have been put together on software running on linux?

so what is linux good for beyond spawning internet trolls?



AHHH!!! truly i tire!!! [s]and then this troll word, is it a new addition to your vocabulary?[/s]

anyway, since u say u have access to ubuntu, then go inti synaptic, type video, there are some absolutely mindboggling video tools for all those editing, imaging, special effects, wateva thingy, im not into that and believe me they rock!! belive me dreamweaver etc are not the only tools in existence.

games, well primarily because the game makers are of the same ilk as bill and his disciples, they want to make money, and we in open source are not particularly in love with that, besides even under the restricted licences u still gotta give. AND ur victims are lesser in number!!!

not that you'd know anything about that cos as usual, u guys just go to torrents and grab the freebies!!!
even at that, the linux world is making serious attempts. there are very good titles in the genres now, e.g TORCS is a very nice option for the car racing game freaks. likewise some other titles for other genres, adventure, fighting. u can start by checking the ubuntuguide.org for the available ones for ur current distros. they list some and sites to get others!

am not a game freak, my gaming is restricted to football manager which runs quite well in wine thank you. have u tried some of your .exe titles in wine? it does a gud job u know!

building etc, really by now u should have gotten the message, besides, we do not have the resources to market u pple so effectively for free wares. eg. autocad is not the only software to do wat it does, there are some really good options too, but made by smaller companies who dont have marketing pwr and they are for windows too.

really, in our world, it doesnt take so much to get a software for wateva u want or make one urself if u have the knowledge. the source codes are available freely, hell u can build ur own os if u like.

so "windows fanboy" there u have it, and please dont tell me u still dont get it, ur becoming a very difficult student to teach, learn faster!!!!!

U NO DEY TIRE?

HAAAAA! HABA! make un chill for the man naw, at least he wants to learn!!!

and i thot i was not too nice, i too nice jare! guy try use google, and dont mind them jare. shebi u know what google is sha?

ahhhh! YAWN!

UNA STILL DEY POST ALL THESE THINGS? UNA NO DEY TIRE? so my age is now the ratio decidendi for your support of the "OTHER" side? hmmmn, well---------------

interestingly, wasnt bill just a bit older than that age when he realised he was smarter than steve jobs and started the worlds greatest cash cow?

uncle A K O, sorry o, no vex! only wonder if at ur old age u still don't know the meaning and importance of mind ur own bizness ideology? besides the pple i spar with here DO NOT TAKE OFFENCE and start insulting! at least not overtly cos oyb don dey tear shirt apparently moreover i dont think u know anything about what we are talking about! its not in the otigba computer school curriculum!

@ flyuche, ehen so u dey enjoy the thread, but when dem winblows pple start throwing bottle naw, u go miss go romance section

abeg, this is just a lovely way to lighten up, it never fails to lift my mood, or spoil it depending on how daft the post is!!!!

@ glamourtop, try using a 3rd party disk mgt tool 2 format d drive AFTER RUNNING A DRIVE DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY and verifing dt d drive is still ok.

I cant remember windows progs 4 dt too well but i think partition magic is an option 4 d tool. Diagnostics i dunno. Ask deji 2000 or one of d gurus around

@ oyb. Ok. Its aaiight. Dnt lose ur cool over winblows/linux.

Ahem, now dt u mention i just wonder wat all dose threads like post ur ish, i cant see my desktop, taskmgr disabled etc are for! Surely d worlds best plug n play, point n click os doesnt hav issues. And dt means it just linux users who have 2 solve lil ish wit them pc hunh? Poor us.

At least we only use a small corner 2 discuss leavin d rest of comp sectn 2 confused winblows users.

Anyways i can see u really have d time 2 embellish ur posts. And i just wonda wat it is u look 4 in ubuntu thread, considering! And ur so well-informed about wats goin on there! Tut tut, not very image redeeming!

Anyway. Hav fun all round. Guy. U can quit peeking through d window and ask 4 copy. U dnt hav 2 stress out. U can always dual boot. Easily. U dnt even hav 2 partition!
Lol

Windows NO 1 FAN AND DEFENDER.
Really i for reply ur post blow by blow but am getting bored by u arses. What hav u learned dis week in win7 by d way?

Yawn! Ok mr gates jnr, ur daddy's car is bigger than mine, do u want a slot on superbowl 2 tell d world? Whether u like it or not, other os exist and are thriving! U dnt like dt or d folks using it, jump into d lagoon!

Una no dey tire? If i start now una go begin dey blow colonial grammer, dey yarn opata!

U like apples, others like oranges, its g free world! We do not go about starting ridiculous and pointless threads like this one neither do we feel d need 2 advertise ignorane 4 g billionare con artist!

If this ur winblows was so good and all serving there wouldnt be in existence other os. And need i remind u that d net is run on linux infrastructure! Even MS run linux servers, d US GOV run linux server along with every intelligent organisation!

So much 4 ms, could u please suffer quietly and stop tryin 2 put down linux @ every opportunity. Ur position is baseless and like av said b4 ' IT AMOUNTS TO INTELLECTUAL FRAUD AND INEPTITUDE TO TALK ABOUT THAT WHICH YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT'

Sharrap and keep quiet. Moreova in case u didnt notice d average linux user is not a 'point and click illiterate' who own a pc but does not know d slightest thing about it. Una plenty 4 here ke, mumu who dnt knw wat a bootloader is. Call bill he will tell u.

Keep 2 yourself hw hard is that? Even inspite that u somehw have 2 reassure urself on hw ur new os is so gud it needs 'service pack 2' as soon as bill rmbrs 2 wipe his crack. Only wish there was @ least 1 of u pple who goes genuine. Then u can truly speak as a consumer. Abi no be say all of una be thief?

Lynx is dt thin still workin? F? Mine not 2day

@gameaddict. I stay in lag. @comp villa u will only get fedora on dvd and maybe mandriva. And u go waka b4 u meet 1 wares peddler who has even heard of linux. And like cv wares its @ ur own risk! Ur best bet has to be u dwnld or get frm sum1.

china shey?

which is?

hook up with folks on ubuntu thread if u want one. i can make u one but hw will u get it

LIKE I ALWAYS TELL ALL YA FOLKS, OPENSOURCE IS THE WAY TO GO!

THE SMART FOLKS WHO WRITE FOR OPENSOURCE USUALLY DO THEIR PROGS FOR AS MANY PLATFORMS AS POSSIBLE! SO MOST LINUX WARES HAVE MACS VERSIONS. IF YOU ARE STUCK FOR WARES, ASK THE LINUX FOLKS FOR THEIR WARES, THE MAKER WILL USUALLY HAVE THE MAC VERSION.

AS FOR MUMU (X1000000000) LIKE ROMULUS AND CO WELL, JUST DONT LEMME START. I WONDER HOW MUCH IT COST U TO USE YOUR STUPID "PC" WITH EVEN MORE STUPID "OS"

AND ALL UR WHINING WE SEE U USUALLY DO ON FORUMS, "my pc is very slow" i cant bla bla bla" which antivirus is the best, where can i get,

tseew! look, if e no concern you shut up! u dont use a mac, how the mac question concern you? mumu

hi please i own a SE k800i and it was givin some issues and was recommended to be flashed. but the guy that was flashing it while flashing said the fone just hung at a levev in the process and did not progress for like 30 mins. now the fone is not coming on or rather comes on to a white screen and the flashing is not working again.

NB it was flashed with usb cable and setools.

is there any hope? who can recover the fone for me?

tseeew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

true!!! but i guess rythmbox does it for me. i noticed though that u cant install .debs. used to be possible in the original.
