PoliticsRe: North And South Of Nigeria Are Inseparable - Bakare by blackweaver(m): 1:22pm On Jan 16, 2010
u know, much as i "feel" that things might be better if north and south break up truth is 'm not conviced. at least now everyone feels that the north is the enemy, once there is a break up the ibos start accusing the yorubas of greed and vice versa and then the south splits up into their different ethnic groups, the ijaws fighting with the itsekiris and the urhobos and this time there's no central military to maintain peace; then what about the middle belt; most of us southerners see them as northerners so we'll just abandon them and i'm sure the north will fight hard to hold them down; we might end up fighting so hard among ourselves that either the north come and take control again or countries like cameroon come and start annexing off parts. i think a better option is a decentralised government like a confederation; let every state manage its resources

@4llerbuntu if i remember well the huawei modem uses a different usb modem driver from your normal usb modems
it's usually a ti_usb_3410_5052 driver as opposed to the usbserial driver that works for most usb modems
i remeber i had to do something in the /etc/udev rules folder too

@spellcheck if it's a desktop my advice is to buy a new cd drive; the wahala involved in opening it up to clean it is not worth it - if you could have done that you probably would have done so before consulting NL dvd writers (at least non- blueray ones) cost well under 10k nowaydays

were you formatting a drive where your files are located? if not get ail linux livecd and try to retrieve your files from the mentioned drive. if you have a fast enough internet connection you can download ubuntu;on the other hand you can download a smaller brand, puppylinux is < 100mb

for me when i started using yahoo, there weren'tso many other email addresses, ok i had a hotmail account and a one box; but onebox stopped being free and somewhere along the line they closed my hotmail account 'cos i didn't access it for a month. i have a gmail account now but i had been using yahoo for so long, it would be sort of inconvenient to start telling all my contacts to switch to my gmail so i might as well stick with yahoo

what programs have you installed lately? perhaps some of them come with services that startup immediately

@mendax type gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst (which is where the boot entries are located) and remove the entries that you don't want anymore

ComputersRe: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by blackweaver(m): 9:25am On Jan 08, 2010
i agree with oyb, it's probably a monitor problem, try fiddling around with the vga connection - where it connects
to your cpu, perhaps the problem will be rectified (in which case some pin was not touching)

@xsay i'm not sure but changing the language in control panel might help but i'm almost sure you shouldn't need
to reinstall the os, you can google around on changing the language i think you may need to install the
english language pack if it isn't already installed

well the thing is that the ram thing is still speculation, it might end up being more serious

him - just in case it's not the problem
ComputersRe: My Computer Is Running Slow What Steps Can I Do To Fix It? by blackweaver(m): 1:12am On Jan 07, 2010
bear in mind that if u''re running xp 8gb is a total waste (unless it's the 64 bit version) u might
as well upgrade it to 3gb and leave it there 'cos 32-bit xp
will not see much more than 3gb maybe 3.5 but definitely not up to 4gb ram, so it'll
just be on ur pc wasting away (8gb is safe for vista and 7)

besides i believe that 8gb is serious overkill for this guy; if he would have needed 8gb
he will be techy enough not to need to ask us this question on NL

also @poster what is the specs of your pc anyway and what os is it running? since when did it start
running slow?
ComputersRe: Intel Processor Or AMD Processor by blackweaver(m): 1:05am On Jan 07, 2010
ahem, i didn't say intel processors don't support virtualization, what i said (or at least meant) is that
most if not all amd processors made in the last 2 years support virtualization while a lesser percentage
of intel processors support virtualization

according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization): "Only Sempron processors except Sable and Huron do not include support for AMD-V"
while "As of 2009 not all recent Intel processors support VT-x - Intel uses the feature to segment its market"
i'm not saying intel isn't better, what i'm saying is intel deliberately releases processors that don't support hardware virtualization - and that's annoying for me
most so called engineers don't even know about this in pc villa so say i go to pc villa, i want ot buy a laptop
that has vt-x-intel then i have to tell them i don't want a cpu of model xyz 'cos it doesnt support virtualization
unfortunately neither does model abc or jkl , meanwhile for amd it's enough to say i don't want
the sempron cpu and i'm assured of amd-v virtualization. that's my point
for a list of intel processors that support virtualization check this site: http://ark.intel.com/VTList.aspx
ComputersRe: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by blackweaver(m): 9:20am On Jan 06, 2010
olabode when u put on your laptop do you hear any sound like a fan turning or something
if so i don't think it's your processor that's faulty
blinking light like that is probably a memory problem; either way you will have
to take your laptop to a tech savvy person but i doubt it's the processor; if you have a friend you trust
you could get him/her to remove and reinsert your ram; see if that works otherwise u may have to buy
another 1gb ddr2 costs about 4-5k

perhaps it will fix your problem (moderator i hope this is allowed, it's just a link to a site where they discussed the same issue)
