ComputersRe: Itil And Ccna Certifications by Cactus(m): 4:26pm On Apr 19, 2007
ITIL is just gradually picking up now. I am not familiar with certifcation in ITIL, but i can say that. IN nigeria where businesses are gradually creating basic or mid-sized IT infrastructure. Convincing people to embrace the ITIL concept may be a little difficult if they already have existing frameworks. However, a company that is just laying out the groundworks for their IT infrastructure may be a little easier to implement ITIL. U can potentially take the ITIL certification if there is one now and u might just find it a little difficult to market that skills. u may be lucky things can just work out easily for u.


ITIL, NAC and others that are just picking up thanks to big corporations like linksys and cisco. In my opinion, though all these concepts, frameworks, methodologies or whatever u may call them streamline the process of overall IT management. But people should really evaluate the need for implementing these ideas because they are not as cheap as just going to buy workstations for business, u may have to consider changing the design of networks and servers etc. and that is freaking expensive. This is a potentially great niche to enter. The realisation of the benefits may not be as immediate as one may expect, perserverance will surely help. Will i advice anyone to take ITIL certification now if there is one. NO. Better to take certifications if u want certification or if u feel the need to be certified in something u can use immediately than something u may ponder about.

ProgrammingRe: Article: Why A Career In Computer Programming Sucks by Cactus(m): 4:17pm On Mar 28, 2007
If u think you suck at programming, your career at programming will suck.

If u are a great programmer/coder, then u should have a great career. Your success in programming/coding depends on your expertise. Google coders, Microsoft coders, and top software vendor coders would you say their careers suck. if u are a small time coder or programmer then u may think your career sucks. but if u can get to the top level. it wont suck.

Its all about what u think and how to react.
FYI programmers/coders = 2 different things but people general call coders programmers lol bs

no one is stopping women from building houses, take into consideration economic status of the class of women in nigeria. its pretty much economics. though majority of nigerian women may not be able to have, buy or build there own house. there are many that have theirs

i personally dont see the reason why silverbird should hype this up. from the few people discussing this in a forum like this and with friends, the words is definitely going to spread like a wildfire. free marketing and promotion.

think about just the fact that ice rink in nigeria, everybody's reaction will be like is it true, have you heard, and it keeps going on and on.

free viral marketing
TV/MoviesRe: No Award-Winning Movies From Nigeria: Why? by Cactus(m): 12:52am On Mar 09, 2007
first step to making an award winning movie = use better cameras/boons/trolleys (for stability)

second = change plots all nigerian movies can pretty much be categorised under 5 or less different types of storyline. no diversity.

same stories in hundreds of different movies, how would u expect any of them to be award winning.

Most often there is not only one solution to fixing a pc. Knowing as many as possible with different scenario will definitely help in future incidents.

whao well scribe said the cards worked for a couple of months. So that means they are windows compatible. if it is not then it will not work period.

Knowing that the cards once worked means the network device is not disabled.
why would format the system just because the cards are not working.
why would you specifically require 3com? there are tons of cards out there

well you cant just give solutions without knowing systems specs. We can all assume scribe is on windows but it may not be so. You will need all desktop system configuration including operating system, lan card types (manufacturer, base support etc), type of network connection etc before providing a solution. A better knowledge of the problem will go a great deal.

once u have a problem always request for more information, you can never be to sure maybe some missing information will be crucial regardless if u consider it stupid or worthless. just keep asking,

CrimeRe: Computer Spyware Causes Miscarriage Of Justice by Cactus(m): 10:37pm On Feb 23, 2007
for the latest update

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/02/23/porn-pop-up-teacher-gets-new-attorney-pc-world-outs-juror/

Julie Amero, substitute teacher and convicted porn-pop up purveyor, has finally gotten a tiny break in her favor. Connecticut criminal defense lawyer William Dow has stepped in and offered help to Julie Amero. The Norwich Bulletin -- the same paper that did such a terrible job of covering the case up to this point, convicting Julie Amero in print and circulating its uneducated drivel to a technophobic and Internet illiterate readership -- reports that Dow has offered pro-bono assistance to Mrs. Amero and will likely file a formal request for postponement of her March 3rd sentencing in order to review the facts of the case. Dow is a well respected criminal defense attorney who, according to Amero's lead attorney John Cocheo, has joined the team because, "he sees it as an injustice that this happened. I think it's a moral issue for him."

Speaking of moral issues; PC World's Steve Bass made a bit of a miscalculation and outted the partial identity of Fred F. a juror in the Amero trial. The email interview in which the juror's screenname was released was initiated by Fred F. who failed to follow Lincoln's famous rule, "It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool; Rather than open it and remove all doubt." I'll let Fred F.'s own words and lack of punctuation speak the volumes that I dare not say.

"she was pronounced guilty because she made no effort to hide or stop the Indecency, not just because she loaded the Indecency onto the machine. Going to the history pages it was obvious that the paged were clicked on they were not the result of pop-ups."

That statement is in direct conflict with the testimony on record. Amero did everything short of turning off the computer, which she was instructed by a superior not to do. The children from her class testified -- right in front of this juror -- that she did make every effort to hide what was being displayed. He also seems to have picked up the same in-depth knowledge of Internet Explorer possessed by the Norwich police computer expert, which could be defined as; little to none.

Fred's obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed but, can you blame him? After all, he's a product of the same Connecticut school system that's teaching kids it's OK to send an innocent woman to jail in order to cover your own incompetence.

USAToday writer Andrew Kantor went one step further, releasing pictures of a portly Fred F. on his personal blog after publishing a scathing piece condemning the school system and the Norwich police department. For certain, this case has gotten ugly. In some instances, it's even become deeply personal. Fred F. has reportedly been berated by an angry public, and been the subject of ridicule for his former 435 pound plus frame, since the public outing.

Amero's husband has set up a blog and is asking for your help covering his wife's legal fees, reportedly in-excess of $20,000 (easily more than a Connecticut substitute teacher makes in a year). He writes, "To think that it is possible for the average layperson to understand all the ins and outs of how a computer works is just not reasonable. What's worse, our employer's don't know any more than we do, and they rely on us to identify problems when they happen. If you are lucky, your employer will know what to do when a crisis happens with your system. If not you'll end up like Julie arrested, ridiculed, demeaned and left with useless teacher's degree in special education."

I don't agree with his statement that it's "not reasonable" to expect the layperson to have some basic understanding of Internet threats and staying safe online however, massaging a lack of knowledge into a felony conviction is more than prosecution; It's persecution.

Amero's husband is also offering up the phone numbers and email addresses for Principal Scott Fain and Superintendent Pam Aubin, who should both be charged with criminal negligence for allowing the Kelly Middle School's lack of Internet-security to ruin the life of an innocent woman. Also on the list is Norwich police "Detective" Mark Lounsbury, the department's not-so-expert computer expert who testified under oath that there was no question Amero had visited the porn pop-up websites on purpose, and offered no information to the jury about malware or spyware being in any way culpable. Unfortunately, it's a bit late to give Lounsbury a lesson in computer security or forensics, at least where Julie Amero is concerned.
CrimeRe: Computer Spyware Causes Miscarriage Of Justice by Cactus(m): 10:24pm On Feb 23, 2007
I also sent out an email to the DA

Definitely it sucks but the worse part is that most of the parties involved are not very well familiar with IT stuff.

The school ought to be held accountable for all these stuff

win 98 + no security = u can imagine what can happen (zombie pc)

many schools have filters to prevent access to porn sites


Eventually, the case will be dropped/dismissed. if she gets sentenced, it is going to be very ugly

good luck

if u have problems next time, post detailed descripitions of everything, someone may know all the solutions or some of the solutions, post pictures if possible, post codes whenever applicable

that will make things faster. because someone that saw your previous post only asking about insert statement and the person knows the solution to the inserting the pdf in database may not even bother about looking at this thread again. so to get the most post all your questions.
