Hello fellas,
Pls i am having difficulty trying to create an mp3 cd. the last one i created was ok. it played on my portable player only that it didnt group the artist.

the whole tracks were scatterd. i ripped 2 celine dion album, 1 rkelly and other various artists. but it didnt play by the artist instead it was like shuffling. I have bought mp3 cds from stores containing about 5-6 different artist but i didnt see any problem all the artists played sequentially and not the other way round as if the songs are being shuffled

More also, some dvds contain 15-30 films _20 in 1 dvd videos) Can someone tell me how they achieve this. cos i dont wanna make the same mistake again.

Hello Nairalanders

I want to clone a system for a friend of mine and he wants to use the system specially for graphic design and picture editing. i really dont know which monitor to choose from considering the fact that lcd are not usually sharp (maybe i havent come across a good brand)

Moreover, crt are very sharp when it comes to graphics and pictures. i cant conclue tht all lcds are bad. but i have only used 2 lcds but they were not sharp.


Please i need a recommendation from u guys here on which monitor to choose from.

Hello everyone,

yes ooo Ibkaye,well said
@poster,if shes irresponsible because she went to club to chill,relax,ease a little stress  and have fun then so are YOU too abi na from church you dey see her ? 
some tots,some beliefs,some imaginations . . .need to be flushed out of the brain before it becomes a serious problem

No matter what a man does people see it as that because he is a man. But when it comes to a woman hmm my dear peoples eyes are always bulging out of their sockets. people keep records of ladies in their midst even in their neighbourhood. but girls dont seem to notice this.

So you implying that a girl in the club @ about 11pm-1am in the morning  is a responsible person right??

Fellow nairalanders

I just went crusing with my friends in a club and i saw this charming Lady in her 20s. Well after that night we decided to meet again . I fell in love with her immediately. But would a responsible lady be seen in a night club, ?

I love her dearly . i dont know where u met ur own partner but i am sure not in a club

hey man i am interested in having visual studio my email id is amady_amanda@yahoo.com

HABA SEUN,

This issue get advantages and disadvantages. seun dey try protect d image of this website and 2 pose as a good Nigerian. Even if them ban people for the site. them go dey go anonymous. if i had the cash i could have hosted a site like this but base on computer tech n its related stuff. i am sure those of u using foreign computer forums know abt the broad knowledge and databases they have.

if anyone is up to the task i suggest he/she should host his own site n n allow what we all are craving for.

if we nor share our knowledge no matter how bad the knowledge be how we want to progress.

i do alot of downloading. i am sure torrent users know what i mean. broadband link are from 1MBuplink/downlink. so y are they deceiving themselves

na wa 4 niger. na which day we go even improve for technology.

Anyway sha. i nor get internet for house but i dey try won establish connection. If u are one of the geeks here on nairaland who downloads lots of MB when i mean MB close to GB. Nigerian ISPS nor ger really good bandwith. how i go pay for 128kbps downlink and i go use abt 64kpbs. They dont really have respect for us. they feel we are mugus who dont know what we want.

Besides if their bandwith is expensive and its really superb when using it. what is the point of not connecting from them.

What they do is give us shared bandwith and tell us that we are using broadband. hmmmm broadband indeed. 1M downlin.uplink is what i call broadbrand yet none can even attain that number. Such a pity what do u think abt coneecting outside the shores of Nigeria?

Hello nairaland users,

what is the problem with the Nigerian Sociery? y is this discrimination still diffusing in the air. y d competition. n what is d hope for d polytechnics. they keep saying that they are not equivalent. y do turn out HND graduates from the poly. Can a PGD certificate cover up the space of the Bsc holders.

Cos right now i am confused i intend going back for HND but words on peoples lips wouldnt make me take a decision. i dont want to make a big mistake so i need help from u guys,

the program u just mentioned is 4 web application. but i want to ask what abt visual basic, pascal, dephi, c, c++, java, perl. python dont they have any impact on new generation softwares n even forth comin generation

hello programmers on board,

i am a beginner to the programming world n i want to learn some programming languages. but i dont know where to start from. i need tips from u guys so that i dont make a wrong start. i would love to code both open and closed source applications but mostly the open source.

Well i would say its closed ,

i have come to notice it too. dont we ever believe in open source codes for once

em stingy people

For those of u livin in the warri metropolis n delta state in general u would agree with me that the result for dis election is not true.

i personally did not register for the voting exercises 2 get a voters card becos i know with or without my vote the election would be rigged. i personally left my sick bed to see the crowd wanting to vote for tryants that call themselves govenorship aspirants.

nevertheless i must say this country would be in a total mess. if not that i wouldnt want to loose my love ones n myself in particular i think we should experience what liberia experienced so that when someone is coming out he wouldnt think abt his owm pocket but rather the entire pockets of the masses. OGBORU AND UDUAGHAN. ballot boxes were being looted from different zones. i know it might happen in other states but this one in warri esp was too open. voters never voted. the only places where votes were casted was only the ethnic tribes of that of UDUAGHAN. I must say the urhobos has sold their birth right to the itsekiris. those what we call our traditional leaders have betrayed us.

i know fully well of towns like ukwani, obiaruku, abraka, warri (south), ughelli north and south. all this places never voted. EVEN in ABRAKA (OGBORU), we never saw him on TV vote we only saw the likes of ibori and his cousin on tv castin their votes.

Governorship seat in Delta state is a kingship thing where after the father rules, the son comes in. ARE WE IN DEMOCRACY OR MILICRACY. na by force them take dey rule. wafarians and in did deltans would agree that majority never voted for that tyrant. he might be ur candidate but never mine. i am not saying that OGBORU is a saint after all he was a coup plotter back in the military. its not as if he is going to transform delta state overnight. All we want is that the lineage of the IBORI kingdom should be cast away so that a new family can come in. ONLY GOD knows if uduaghans nephew would come in after his 8yrs of ruling.

OGBORU has dissapointed us. 2 times of contesting and he bleeped us up. All hopes of faithful Deltans has been lost. I wonder how deltans took the result hook line and sinker to themselves. most people are angry. rumuors has it that a war might come up. but we are not praying for that. ONLY GOD KNOWS IF HE IS TRADING DEALS WITH THE PDP. this is the second time this is happening. Imagine his own home town did not cast their vote. He has not spoken since the release of the result. he didnt even cast his vote.

As far as i am concerned ibroi still rules even if he hands over to uduaghan. PDP i raise hand for una. First SSG and now a governor. 16yrs of foolishness is not a joke.

Okada riders will suffer vehemently . they will wear 4 helments and their ticket fees would be 250 a day . their working hours would be 6-4 everyday. I am not saying that they would be the only ones to suffer the consequences of this new regime, deltans in general would suffer the same faith.

Like every regime, they would pretend to do some stupid improvements in the state. things that dont need attention in other to create awareness that yes we are developing the state.

OGHARA would become another new paradise on earth, delta state as a whole nor fine reach that place if na lie make una run reach OGHAREFE, OGHAREKI. this one go teach deltans lesson.

Until recently security information was something that was addressed by a handful of trained professionals. With the advent of e-business and the highly networked business, security has become everyone's responsibility. The paradigm shift of technologically enabled crime has now made security everyone's business. The consequences of a security breach is so large that millions and billions are being lost yearly

Who are these security treats to our pcs and files. Hackers. 2 bad for them cos the media has set their standard so low that everyone thinks they are harmful.

A hacker is often someone who creates and modifies computer software and computer hardware, including computer programming, administration, and security-related items.

They fall into difft gps such as the ethical, blackhat,greyhat and the whitehat hackers. i am not going to explain much here maybe later on.

As a network administrator would u live ur systems to be vulnerable and  throw security to the winds? If one may ask how many network administrators  secure their connection and systems or even their websites not to be defaced? or even audit their network to scan their systems for vulnerabilities that others might exploit and use it 2 gain access to their systems.

Nigeria is still growing and i know that in few years to come e-commerce would be the talk of the day as one would be at the comfort of his/her home and make things happen just like in the US or other nations. E-banking is presently on. phishing and scamming in this nation is on the increase. it is refered to as the yahoo-yahoo- here in niger. well i dont blame them its just a way of surviving rather than carry guns. but that is not the topic here

The question is how secured are u. with the advent of antivirus and anti-spyware programs we thought all we need to do is just to scan and thats the end. But with the increase of rootkits which are totally undetectable one has to be warned of the dangers on the internet.

what abt websercurity not to talk abt wireless connection which is the a new technology here. one can comfortly browse with his/her laptop/desktop pc without the lan cables scattered all over the ground

well i must leave now

the story continues from here,

well fellow nigerians,

I like this idea abt ubuntu. well i requested 4 free cds from their site. I made up my mind cos i want to explore linux cos i want to be working on it.  It seems its the best linux distro 4 beginners. Well I am confused cos i saw kubuntu and edubuntu and xubuntu

Are these 3 a difft disto from the ubuntu community?

It's hard to believe the way the scamming rate is rising. All works of life are going into it. Tryin to get something into their accounts and stuffs like that.

If we really want to solve this problem, we have to start from the grass root. I think the FG should do something about the rising rate of unemployment in nigeria. i am a witness to a guy who is a B.sc holder in Mechanical Engineering (second class upper) who is a scammer. When i tried to find out what was the reason behind his scamming. He simply told me he is un-employed and does this to make him see the daily lights on earth. Even most people who are employed and are still scamming because in Nigeria your monthly expenditure is greater than your monthly income and in other for the equation to be balanced then a value must be put in place and that is where the scammin comes out.

When a man is hungry his ears are close and he thinks about himself. They know that they are spammers and what they are doing is causing more harm than good but they just can't hold themselves. After all some would say a governor can perform a miracle in the UK demolishing our image as Nigerians how much more myself an ordinary citizen.

Too bad we have disgraced our selves before other nations. but one thing i find hard is that the blame on these 419 internet fraud comes to nigeria. Countries such as Ghana including other west african countries and africa as a nation are into it. Nigerians in the Uk, spain, and other english speakin countries including the Us are not left out

As for the media in Nigeria they are notin to write home about. They need to improve on the broadcast about these spammers and the harm they cause to the society. Most Nigerias have fallen victims not only the "oyinbos them". I also think the media in these foreign countries should try and make some massive broadcast to their citzens stating the tricks these spammers use and the consequences of falling a victim.

If you watch closely apart from the INTERNET FRAUD ACTIVITIES the other crime rates have reduced to a minimal content, but the internet fraud activity keeps rising. I know what it takes to make a victim fall for you. some are not ordinary as they use all kind of spiritual powers against their vicitm. Others pray to God almighty to let their victims falll to the last limit so that they can collect huge amounts. Not all spammers do these. Its really a hard work for these guys to emerge out successfully. Ask them and they would tell u that its not easy

And lastly we should learn to be satisfied with what we have because these victims that fall as prey to these spammers are all greedy people. They want to reap where they did not sow.

I really dont know what ur intentions  are (u when dey find omotola). she is married and not single.

if it what i am thinkin better stop dreaming and wake up to reality. Look for someone else cos that path when u won take nor go lead u to anywhere.

First i would like to thank seun for bringing this kind of idea. Its true Nigeria has a bad image. But lets take a look at the way the economy looks like now.

I think the government needs to do something about the level of unemployment in this country. They should try and see means of reducing the poverty and unemployment level to a minimum range.

Most spammers are graduate (B.sc) from universities. If one may ask is it a crime to go to school after which u start suffering simply cos there is no job. Its not that i am supporting these spammers but it is mainly their source of leaving. U see someone airtime reading up to 98hrs(commonly known as the bulk time). Did u ever ask urself what kind of information would that person be looking for?

As for those cybercafe owners they dont have a choice these spammers are the one bringing the money to them cos u can hardly find a spammer using less than 2hrs to browse. I mean 2hrs is the least air-time for a spammer .

so bad it has to be this way. Well not blame these spammers. what abt the greedy "magad" who seem not be satisfied with what they have.

I know what it feels like as i use to be a spammer . that was long time ago but i stopped simply because i lost interest in it after my seconday school exams.

what i think is going to solve the problem like what one of our members rightfully said is for the so called EFCC to organise a campaign with foreign bodies telling their residents about these spammers and they go about syphoning money from them with their dirty tricks. Moreover the government should do something reasonable about the economy of a thing. its not moving us forward but we are lacking behind.

Hey fellas,

u can convert your pdf files to html with one click. I would also want any of u to help with a program or possibly give the URL of the site that can convert pdf files from one language to the other e.g from any foreign language to english. I could have attached the file (pdf2html) but its more than the stipulated size and i have forgotten the URL of where i got it from.

Hey guys ,

I think i would wait and get the real longhorn when it is released by 2006 cos i cant bear the consequences of installing it on my system and crashing all what i have worked 4.
