If such should happen,then it's a sign of end time.anyways,you get to hear a lot of crap online these days.just like the other one id!ot was telling me a first degree holder don't need a masters' degree to applied to study PHD in any course.I couldn't stopped lol.

ummm some phd programs do take bachelor degree holders. it just takes longer for them to get their doctorate

he has won more than 100 prizes for his work and Apple computer has used his microprocessor technology in their Power Mac G4 model.

what are these prizes?

@bawomolo
I was refering to the supercomputing award not the Congrassional or Presidential award - typo/mix up!

Why not go to those references and check them out for yourself? And for your request for his journal publications, I think you know little or nothing about how inventors work! They never bother to publish their works because if they do, something would go wrong. History have shown us that this is always the case.

how is his invention a novel one if it has being allegedly applied to study global warming?   i wonder why he didnt patent this invention either. maybe he believes in open source or fake sauce

between i still can't find the UofM today article you spoke of

it's a jewish sect i believe

wicked man

No one is screaming racism, it is a fact that white supremist carried out unalloyed campaign on the web to get Philip. E. rubbished but they ALL failed! Also, if you were smart you would have observed that apart from the court documents about his thesis, they have been unable to provide any evidence to support their claims that He lied his way to the top! Again CNN did an indepth analysis on Philip. E. and even the likes of Foxnews ran commentary about him when He was nominated for the prestigious and Highest US medal!

It is a shame that people like you try to bring down others simply because you have not been able to make any meaningful contribution to humanity! The world supercomputing recognizes this fellow. If only I could gain access to the old pdf document where the then IEE published his works in s special edition!

can OMO_TIER please support this claim?

2. University's flagship publications dedicated special issues honoring the discoveries and inventions of Philip Emeagwali [Read MICHIGAN TODAY, February 1991, University of Michigan, http://www.ns.umich.edu/MT/

link not working? we are asking for publications, you are giving us pictures? are you ok?

However, the most significant aspect of my contribution is that I worked alone over a period of 27 years. As a result, I have won more prizes and awards than any contemporary scientist who worked alone. As the discoverer of penicillin, Sir Alexander Flemming, wrote, "It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject: The details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to the enterprise, thought and perception of an individual."

oh really?

when was the father of the internet nominated for a congressional or presidential medal?

can you please tell me the name of this publication.  i have access to science journals from at least 20 years so it shouldn't be that hard to find out.
who is trying to bring him down?

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=534775.msg6971674#msg6971674 date=1287496459]So he's being taken to court?

You Nigerians are S.A.D. Instead of supporting your own people and making sure he's not being unjustifiably prosecuted, y'all are arguing about his tribe. WHAT A FCUXXING BIG SHAME THO.


I fear for una.[/quote]no, he sued U of M and lost.   

i wonder why he has no publications nor does anyone cite his work. but he is the father of the internet

[quote author=Omo_Tier1 link=topic=534775.msg6971649#msg6971649 date=1287496303]Typical of uninformed Nigerians! Philip. E invented a unique technique which gave rise to a better understanding of how computers could communicate with each other in a unique way, hence the reason He is called ONE of the FATHERS of INTERNET.

The facts of who this man is and what He has acheived is available to any sane individual to verify! Infact, if you have been following journal articles of oil exploration, you would  have come across one of His inventions currently being used in simulation of deep sea water oil exploration, i.e. sub-sea late movement and the likes!

Hate him or like him, the world of scientific computing and engineering ( where I belong) recognizes that this man is a GENIUS of a kind! If people claimed his achievments are all false, how come the government of Canada has a special pact with Philip. E. for him to come to Canada every year to give inspirational lecture to young canadains (mostly of African origin).

White supremist have tried and failed in their web campaign to get Philip's .E. image rubbished but like every good thing, when probed, it outshines and just keep shining![/quote]when all fails, scream racism or tribalism

the michigan appeals court system must be lying too

Plaintiff  also  contends  that he made out  a  prima  facie  case  of
disparate  treatment by showing that he completed the  requirements  for  a
scientific computing degree and that students of other races who  completed
the program had received degrees. Again, however, no evidence exists in the
record that defendants treated plaintiff differently from others who  twice
failed the civil engineering qualifying examination.

   Furthermore,  plaintiff's contentions that he completed the  doctorate
requirements  in  scientific  computing  and  that  the  trial  court  made
irrelevant   observations  concerning  the  civil   engineering   program's
requirements  are not supported by the record. Plaintiff was admitted  into
the  civil engineering department's doctoral program. While a joint  degree
was   available   in  civil  engineering  and  scientific  computing,   the
acquisition  of the scientific computing doctorate depended on  plaintiff's
satisfaction of his home department's requirements, which included the

                                   -3-
                                   
qualifying   examination.  Moreover,  the  record  contains   no   official
acceptance of plaintiff into the joint program. With respect to plaintiff's
suggestion   that   he   satisfied  the  scientific   computing   doctorate
requirements,3  Gulari's  August  14, 1991  memorandum  indicated  that  to
determine  plaintiff's  potential eligibility for  a  scientific  computing
doctorate,   he   would   assemble  a  committee  to  examine   plaintiff's
dissertation. While plaintiff was supposed to submit his  dissertation  no
later   than  October  1,  1991,  he  failed  to  do  so  until   mid-1992.
Additionally, he failed to receive favorable reviews of his dissertation.

Could you have done better? and why is it bothering you so much?

the quest for the truth is what bothers me.  

NL politics section has gotten so bad to the point we can't make a claim without being accused of jealousy or tribalism.

1 Emeagwali never called him self a Doctor (phd) he complained that he was denied doctorate on the grounds of racism (can some who made first class not do his phd exams)

the disapproval of his dissertation had nothing to do with racism?  if he is a genius of supercomputing, why couldn't he write an acceptable dissertation?

2 Emeagwali likened the Gordon Bell prize from IEEE to nobel prize , he never said he won a nobel prize

lies, here is the premier prize for computing similar to a fields medal

Sorry but though strictness is good how you apply it matters too.In my street where i grew up i have seen two families where the severe stictness of the parents have made the children all who are older than me not to communicate with the parents again.In one of the families the dad died and 4 of his 6 boys refused to come for his burial.

oh wow, lots of bad blood in that family

McClendon says her daughter suffered damages because the 2009 show "was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and craddle-robbers."

I'd rather they did it in knowledge, than in ignorance.

With or without SE, they'd still do it.

gbam gbam gbam.

eastern europeans are notoriously racist or nationalist.

what's enough proof for you?

well documented as in there are journals and articles written about it.

dolphins continue to engage in sexual activity past their mating season. didn't you read that? if you want some more proof, go read the sources provided by the article. the experiments were done through observation of new zealand dolphins in this case.  the frequency of their sexual activity is even documented. dolphins have sex for reasons beyond procreation considering how short their mating season is

i have a feeling you still won't find those sources satisfactory

is this guy an unknown to you?

i would act like that didn't happen.

If we have them in schools where sex Education is supposed to be taught in its totality, and these teachers don't teach everything

it's supposed to be taught in totality but of course teachers don't have enough time or are limited by the syllabus. parents pick up the rest of the slack.

[quote author=Missy ★ B link=topic=532017.msg6958342#msg6958342 date=1287327580]This is a common MYTH. Since he (bawo)  went down that lane, i decided to go with him. Though, without being in accordance with the erroneous info - ''all mammals have intimacy predominantly for pleasure''. Ehn?[/quote]it isn't a myth. recreational sexual activity among dolphins, bonobo's and the likes is well documented.

“Sex is an antisocial force in evolution. Bonds are formed between individuals in spite of sex and not because of it.” These words open the chapter on “Sex and society,” in the classic book Sociobiology by E.O. Wilson (1975), emphasizing the divisive, competitive nature of sexual reproduction in general. Here, we examine the role of non-reproductive sex in the social lives of dusky previous termdolphins,next term and explore the possibility that, at least in this instance, sex reinforces important social bonds.

Like bottlenose previous termdolphinsnext term (Connor et al. 2000), dusky previous termdolphinsnext term apparently engage in sexual behavior for social reasons as well as reproduction. Sexual behavior may play a role in communication (Wells and Norris 1994), or in greeting ceremonies (Würsig and Würsig 1980). Although female dusky previous termdolphinsnext term are seasonally polyestrous, with conception only possible during a limited breeding season, mating occurs in all seasons (Figure 8.3, Cipriano 1992, Markowitz 2004). Social–sexual behavior outside the breeding season appears to be much more relaxed, lacking the high-speed competitive chasing we have described during the breeding season. Homosexual activity between males has been noted in both Kaikoura and the Marlborough Sounds (Cipriano 1992, Markowitz 2004). In a foraging context, social–sexual activity may be a form of celebration and/or strengthen social bonds between foraging companions (Würsig and Würsig 1980, Markowitz 2004).

Dusky previous termdolphinsnext term also mate with other species. Off Kaikoura, dusky previous termdolphinsnext term were frequently observed mating with common previous termdolphinsnext term (Delphinus delphis; 28.6% of mixed groups encountered). In the Marlborough Sounds, social–sexual activity between common previous termdolphinsnext term and dusky previous termdolphinsnext term was observed in two of five mixed species groups encountered (Markowitz 2004). Apparent hybrids between the two species have been noted (Reyes 1996, Würsig et al. 1997). Hybrids have also been noted between other cetaceans, including Dall’s porpoise and harbor porpoise (Phocenoides dalli and Phocoena phocoena; Willis et al. 2004), and bottlenose and common previous termdolphinsnext term (Zornetzer and Duffield 2003).

you call this half-cast? she is a normal caramel lady to me.

Who talked about giving one's child to a counselor for sex Education?

they have them in schools genius

It's not me, Missy, assigning roles to parents.

who is then? miss cleo. who states fathers can't teach sex education? answer this question, who should teach orphans about sex?

I said- It's general awareness that Most times, Mothers do the Education when it comes to intimate issues like sex

general awareness to you perhaps

You don't have to teach a son how to wear a condom. There are more important things to teach him.

huh?

just like you didn't teach him to put food in the mouth, not nose.

yes you do, children learn by copying the adults around them. i hope you weren't raised as a feral child

You, as the father, can decide to sit at home and do the teaching while your wife plays the role of a playmate, problem-solver, provider, principled guide.
Whatever rocks your boat.

you obviously refuse to read. what part of we would both do the job don't you understand.  two-income households are now common by the way. this is 2010 and not 1950.  And oh yeah i see nothing wrong if i sit at home on a weekend and educate my kids my sex.  we obviously have different views on gender roles.  you pretty much described women as tall children who need to be guided. i wouldn't want to be married to that
should your sons come to you and not their father?

I don't know from which angle you're viewing it but, I'd give it to you, as I see it.
The first blessing pronounced on man [that is connected with sex] is to ''Be fruitful and multiply; reproduce''. [I know you're an atheist and wouldn't buy the idea of sex being ordained, but this is the angle from which I view it]. Take it or scratch it.
That is not to say procreation is the only purpose for sex.

spiritual gibberish, pass.

Sex serves as a natural function, primarily meant for reproducing.

it has multiple functions in which reproduction is one of them.   it's also a stimulating pleasurable act for human beings. 

As humans, [prolly chimps] and dolphins are the only mammals known to have the capacity to have intimacy for recreation-

umm there are more, those freaky bonobos come to mind.  do you have intimacy with the main goal being procreation?
what happens when you reach menopause.  stop giving up the bootay?

Where did I even mention homosexuality?

my bad, i was seeing double.

^^^

thank you. hence the reason why sex education is important in schools.

i think we have our answer

i'm confused.

what kind of rehab is she going to?

Dolemite:
Yes they do, but ignorant people make their lives a living hell. Which is why I'm shocked.

i know but there are already rumors about denrele anyway.

At 15, when she's more prone to fall victim to peer pressure and no longer a mummy's girl [ the mummy-says-i-shouldn't-do-that-and-that girl] - she's now beginning to form her own values and have a mind of her own- one can now explain, not necessarily profoundly, the pleasure [Like, Its [sex] main purpose is for procreation, and only husband and wife are supposed to engage in it, it's a beautiful thing ordained by God but can cause a lot of disaster if engaged in, before marriage. it's not for kids your age  blah blah] and introduce the idea of condom.

here we go again.   homophobia under the guise of "sex" education.   lol@the main purpose of sex being procreation. I know you dislike homosexuals but this is brainwashing and not sex education.

news flash madam, mammals have intimacy predominantly for pleasure.  go watch videos of dolphins getting it on (ok bad idea).  we humans do not have mating seasons.  your abstinence only philosophy hardly ever works.

oyb - you encountered mr ice cream man? ha ha
