SMART BULLET (You can't hide) grin grin grin
MEND please buy this.
"It would be hard to describe a bullet as smart, but what if that bullet was laser-guided, radio-controlled, and carried an onboard targeting CPU? The US Army has announced the creation of the XM25 rifle, which can fire a new type of explosive round that fit that exact description. Imagine the implications: hitting targets inside buildings or hiding around walls. Whoa.

First, the scope on the rifle has a laser that gauges the distance to the target. The soldier can set exactly where the 25-millimeter bullet will detonate by adding or subtracting 3 meters from that point. Then, the scope will send a radio signal to a chip inside the bullet telling it how far it should travel before exploding.

Now, here’s where things get truly nuts: Each bullet has a small magnetic transducer that interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field, generating a tiny alternating current every time it spins as it speeds toward the target. Measured against the gun's specially calibrated rifling, this means the bullet can keep track of how far it has traveled in real time. Whoa, again."

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=295273.msg4172814#msg4172814 date=1247352415]My friend, every race on earth believe they are better than Blacks. Even amongst blacks, the light skinned believe they are better than dark skinned. It is a brainwash. The brainwash has to do with physical attributes. There is another type of brainwash - The brainwash of historical accounts.

I am glad you referenced both Egypt and Sudan in your response because I am going to change your view about Africa. The Africa that Imperial Europe know is not the one they are teaching you in school textbooks or written in public libraries and museums. Matter of fact, let me go ahead and declare to you that there exist private libraries and museums containing artifacts which are foerever closed to the public and is nonetheless funded by public tax and managed under custody of public trust. Access to them are limited and highly restricted. The Vatican has one such libraries in its vaults. You must wonder. . . if there is nothing to hide, why the secrecy and restriction to historical records. hmm? You ever wondered that far in your mind?

Let me ask you a simple question. How old is Sudan?

.[/quote]Sudan is about 10,000 years old.  Please land quickly with what you have to say, I am very interested.
Sorry to have jumped the gun, but I am impatient to hear what you've got to say.

Programming › Re: Which Ide Is Best For Developing Asp.net Applications by Beaf: 11:33pm On Jul 11, 2009
fatezy:
Sorry dis might sound stupid but can u explain the diff between asp and asp.net, always tot .net was an upgrade
Nothing sounds stupid.

ASP was microsofts first attempt at a web framework. It is now very outdated.
The is little in common between ASP and ASP.NET apart from a couple of object names.
They are totally different technologies, ASP basically is a scipting engine; you do not compile code into exe's or dll's, this makes it quite slow.
With ASP, you also had to write every last bit oh HTML and VBScript (JavaScript).

The improvements in ASP.NET are:
1. Compiled code (into exe's and dll's) offering much better performance
2. Programmable controls (you don't have to write every last bit oh HTML and code)
3. Markup is XML-based
4. ASP.NET comes with several ready built frequently used controls e.g. user authentication, file upload, banner rotation e.t.c.
5. Several built in security checks

Look up (but don't get distracted by) the following ASP.NET attributes.
1. Event driven programming
2. object oriented consepts

A good place to start learing ASP.NET is http://asp.net

i couldnt stop laughing at the stupidity of this thread.what on planet earth is this? does some pple really have the brains of a turtle or fish? it is either the bitch likes me and my name or she takes her skinny/fat ass to somewhere else. what it means is that the eastern europeans wont have wives and girlfriends outside their domain? what shallowmindedness will not cause. why is the Californian governor still bearing his original names and was and is still worshipped by millions of fans all over the world? i will give u folks an example, my wife happens to be a non nigerian.when my twin baby boys were born,i simply gave them cool igbo names UGOCHUKWU and UZOCHUKWU.one day, a friend of hers visited and asked after their names. when she was told,she laughed and said that the names sounds funny,that we should try and change the names. i walked up to her and asked her to leave my house and never return. i asked her if the kids belongs to her or me. in fact i made my wife to call me only by my native name. and my kids doesnt even remember that they have other names apart from their native names. why we are of the impression that only what is white is cool.well i have news for them,african names and indeed nija names are cooler.merda.

@huxley2
Well, this may be latin but their origin is Jewish
Peter and Paul have Latin origins, they have never been Jewish.

In fact, the name and language that you think is your indigenous language (Igbo, Yoruba, etc) probably derives from some ancestral Bantu language.
That's a diversion, I'm only saying colonised people bear the colonisers names because they want to seem to "belong". That's what I pointed out with your first list of names.
Its worth pointing out again, that you won't find Jews born in Israel answering names like Peter and Paul because they've dealt with their colo mentality.

huxley2:
Did u ask your oyinbo friends why they have names like James,Peter, Paul, Abraham, etc, etc. Do they not realise that these are Jewish names.
Apart from Abraham (likely of Sumerian not Jewish origin), are they really Jewish names? huh
I haven't seen any present day oyimbo answering Abraham who isn't Jewish.

All the other names you mentioned aren't Jewish:
James is Latin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_(name) - derived from Hebrew Jacob
Peter is Latin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_(first_name)
Paul is Latin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_(name)

Latin names were prevalent in pre-Christian Judea because of colonial mentality (they were under Roman occupation). Modern Isreali Jews don't answer these names.

Obama's name are African (except for Hussein)

"Obama" is a name from the Luo ethnic group of southwestern Kenya, where Barack Obama, Sr. was born. It was originally the given name of Barack Obama's great-grandfather. It is based on the Luo (technically, Dholuo, the name of the language of the Luo) word bam, which means "crooked, slightly bending."

The prefix O- means "he," and many Luo male names begin with it. Since most traditional Luo names were given by the baby's mother referring to something about the child's birth, the best guess is that when Obama's great-grandfather was born, one of his arms or legs looked slightly bent. However,Email rumors have charged that U.S. President Barack Obama is a practing Muslim, a rumor that has since been proven false. However, President Obama does have an unusual name, which reflects his African Muslim heritage. He was reportedly named after his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.
The president's first name, Barack, is a Swahili name that has its origins in Arabic. The original Arabic root of the name (B-R-K) means "blessed." In Arabic, the root word is used in many other phrases to denote blessings and to describe people who are blessed:

Loosen up a little. Its the male thing thats cropping up. You've got to realise that all her plans are about the day she commits to sharing her life with you.
Women have a more socially involved way of doing things than men (e.g. shopping is not a military task; door, buy toothpaste, buy lotion. . . door).
You have to get used (and sometimes participate) in her more sensual way of navigating life.

Good luck, happy married life!!! ~~~cracks open champagne for una grin~~~

I have a friend dating this guy called Dominic they were on the bridge of becoming lovers and they couldnt keep things from each other anymore so turned out this guy's original name is sanjo and she was actually turned off by his name, and everything concerning him just din't appeal to her anymore and they finally broke up today. so made me think about how uncool our names can be sometimes. but some parent aswell just name their kids anyhow, new couple just had a baby and her name is prayer   I dont know about you but geez i love to pray and it's good but naming a child one is just crossing the line when she starts school in this english community the name will raise few brows. i also remembered a woman where i used to live also had a child called jesu-gbeshumi (jesus swalloed satan) in this london   is this not a little over the top?
i now see a lot of people renaming themselves because their given names are just not cool enough for anybody to read or pronounce, a lot of people can't even put their full name on facebook lol. i dont know maybe nigerian names arent just cool or is it just individual parent
btw my friend wasn't turned off by him lieing about his name she just couldn't stand the word sanjo and since then she doentot think he is cool lol shallow maybe she is
The babe simply didn't want to have anything to to with a fake, low self esteem, colo mental guy. Form Obasanjo to freaging sanjo and then from sanjo to Dominic. Tufia!

Your friend needs to give you the treatment next

TheSeeker:
US is all about democracy when it comes to dealing with other nations. US refuses to be associates with countries with questionable democratic stances, a group where Nigeria falls and tops it. The same applies to Kenya and Zimbabwe. You can imagine a country where there has been successful transition of power for the past 17 years -- it's a commendable situation and those are the kind of nations America associated with. It has nothing to do with their gold or whatever they have. Ghana will gain more international recommendation to what they already have. Nigeria is a joke on the African map

Life needs balance. I don't know what your current circumstances are, but its clear that that something is forcing you out of synch with your inner self. Why do you use the Internet so much? What about friends and family?
I hope you don't mind, but do you have brothers and whats your relationship with your dad like?

You should really go out a bit more and form human to human relationships.

If you read the news you would know already, its also already been discussed on the forum in several threads. The White House made it very clear that Ghana was chosen because it is one of the strongest democracies in Africa.
It could also be because there is more affinity for Ghana in the diaspora, but don't discount these:
[list]
[li]Corruption and lack of developmental institutions[/li]
[li]Nigeria snubbed the US proposals for Africa command[/li]
[li]For the cynical, Ghana recently discovered vast quantities of oil[/li]
[li]Niger Delta crisis[/li]
