it's actually there.... LOL. The "Unable to connect to the Internet" you see is a screenshot not an actual error message from google .

While this might not be news to some, others will be glad to discover it!!!

It can be such a bummer when you have no internet connection or are experiencing a downtime (Well this happens a lot in my office ). More so, you might not be in the zone or mood for work or just wanna faff away... Well guess what, the folks at Google know and experience this too and found a cool way to kill time.

There's a hidden game in its Chrome browser (both Mobile and Desktop) that you can play when your device isn’t connected to the web.

Next time you see this screen Keep Calm and Don't Cuss !

Simply hit the Space Bar on your keyboard (Desktop) or tap the Dinosaur (Mobile) and see the Magic .

NB: still wanna enjoy the game when you have a good/working connection? Simply turn of your device's internet connection.
Warning: This can get really addictive.

Would be fun to see you upload and share your high scores.

Have fun .

Good evening guys.
I have been pondering over this issue for quite sometime now as an amateur in the game am done with Html but CSS is uninteresting to me but am glued to Javascript so the question on my mind is that Is It Possible To Build A Website Using Just Html,Javascript,Jquery and the rest without using CSS??.
And i want to know some world class websites built without CSS,Twitter & Nairaland comes to mind but am not so certain.Tanx

Don't know why twitter and Nairaland came to mind but really, they have Style rules. Even the simplest of webpages has a degree of style in it. Remember the first "Hello World" you wrote and tested in a browser? It was black text, and positioned top left, that's what sites would look like without any styles. CSS either inline or on an external stylesheet is why sites have proper formatting and look good to view. So like other posters have pointed out, you can't do away with it.

Thanks for sharing.

True my brother. Where I fellowship we pay tithe and as the treasurer 100% goes to the conference Instead of the church retaining the money and spending it on the poor in our street. As for me Instead of giving my money to be used to feed pastors who are supposed to be feeding themselves like the Apostles I had rather find a Good message online and make tracts of it to distribute to people.

Good one. You could also donate on odb.org, or similar evangelical bodies. Your contribution along with that of others would help their work go farther.

In what seems like forever, economists on opposing sides of the divide have put forward opposing pros and cons in discussing free market economies vs planned economies (socialist, communist, mixed economies etc.).

Note that the list of pros and cons also argue about responsibility for organizing the economic participants in each model. This article will not touch on the opposing views as interested parties can read up on Keynes, Marx, Samuelson and Smith etc.

For this article, I just want to draw attention to how technological advances are dramatically redefining social interaction including its impact on work and entrepreneurism.

Marshall McLuhan is credited with coining the phrase “Global Village” over 50 years ago (1962) which broadly referred to the interconnectivity of the world through mass media, internet (electronic technology) and travel.

In other words, “Global Village” is simply the term used to describe an increasingly complex and interconnected world, where citizens are able to interact with each other with almost uninterrupted frequency and at an amazing pace.

However, I’m almost certain that when McLuhan coined that term over 50 years ago, he could not have envisioned the degree of interconnectivity which exists in this present day.

To say that there has been an explosion of technological solutions resulting in an increasingly connected world since Mr. McLuhan first coined that phrase in 1964 will be stating the obvious.

However in recent times, mass media solutions and collaborative tools have been delivered and adopted at breathtaking speed.

To put it into context, very few of the popular solutions of today were available as recently as 25 years ago (e.g. Facebook was founded in 2004, Google was founded in 1998).

…..Hmnn, think about it, strange as it may seem, someone who is 25 years old or less would not have known that there was once a world without Google or Facebook!!!

These advances in technology only continue to strengthen my belief that the ideal society is one where willing entrepreneurs are able to successfully provide critical services to society in return for adequate compensation AND accountability. I .e. society where the social entrepreneur thrives

Let’s take a look at some examples:

(1) Technology solutions for mass media, (fondly described as social media). Basically these solutions perform a social function of facilitating communication. In addition these enterprises are also employers of labour but ultimately services being provided to society are being monetized such that the founders and shareholders are also enjoying financial rewards of some sort (think Facebook, Google +, Yahoo, Whatsapp).

(2) Another category of solutions would be the ecommerce solutions. Again these solutions perform a social function of facilitating trade, In addition, the enterprises are employers of labour whilst the owners also to reap financial rewards of monetizing the services provided (think eBay, Alibaba, Amazon).

I can go on and on (other services Square, UBER, Paypal, etc) but anyway hopefully you get my point, social entrepreneurs aims to provide solutions which will be beneficial to society but also yield returns which adequately compensate for risks undertaken.

Just to add that a new solution Periscope has recently launched in 2015. This is one to watch due to its massive potential to disrupt the all-powerful broadcast media (I’m definitely excited to how that plays out).

Celebration of mediocrity. Abati why didn't you post photos of his trip to the venue?

This just underscores the level of impact he made in his tenure.... Celebration of mediocrity indeed.

Hello, could you state the respective prices or at least a range? I'm carrying out a market research/biz evaluation for an intending service provider. Also, it would be nice to learn about the regulations related to setting up/owning/managing a tower for the purpose of colocation. If you can't reply here, kindly feel free to send me a P.M. Thanx

Yh

I have been on a double date before.. Pretty fun .
Reckon if i just went with the guy would have bern boring .. Went cinema had a meal n was just chting n bussing jokes .
But it depends sha

.

I guess your euphemism didn't help to drive the point you were tryna make about the use of the term double dating...

Seeing topic, i had the feeling that's the context in which the OP woulda used it.

Double dates are fun especially when it's a meeting of peeps who aren't too familair yet...

Trust me, the first two responses are all you really need to hear in this situation. You might be hurting yes, but reaffirm to yourself the reason why you made the resolve of abstinence in the first place and irrespective of your situation or predicament, don't put yourself under undue pressure to be in a relationship/with someone just because. Learn to love yourself enough to hang in there till someone well deserving (and respectful of your choices) comes along.

Meet Blaze. My awesome Labrador dog.

Nice. One of the reasons I've been following this thread, for at least someone with a Lab.

vivian001:
Its a lie, op...onli d woman's wrapper is given to d visitor as a 'blanket'...and in Benue, a woman's wrapper is seen as d woman herself.

Been curious about this tradition too... Hearing a different version of the tale and I think i'll go with yours for now.

Maybe i'm the one person who's not aware a business card is supposed to have a CTA like other marketing materials/collateral... But when the client requested that, i was like "what?!"

PietraK:
Common. Don't be so ignorant. That thing has nothing to do with Juju. Its a local cosmetic. I have seen it very well. Common with old fashioned women.

Not Juju.

To clear doubts and be truly sure it's a local cosmetic (which i also believe it is), i think OP should state if his girlfriend is a northerner or from somewhere in the middle belt as that's (Tiro) quite commonly used by them.

So last week, i had to deal with this same issue relayed in the pic below. As much as it can be and was frustrating, i took solace in the fact that i wasn't alone... Hope you can relate too and perhaps share your experiences.
