Computers › Re: Windows Xp Vs. Windows Vista by candylips(m): 3:51pm On Apr 14, 2009
i think Xp is MILES better than Vista. I have a fairly high spec PC and things are still very slow particularly  copying and pasting stuff between directories or over the network. This is not the case with XP

Rocky shot himself in the foot . He should have brought Philip to the boardroom who would probably have been fired

Webmasters › Re: 100 Best Developers In Nigeria? Says Who? by candylips(m): 10:37am On Apr 02, 2009
Can we step back a little and look at software development as a whole and not just website development.

Who are those developing software from the ground up in the country.
What biz problem do these software solve? How robust is the software? How effective is there release and maintanance cycles? What kind of project management methodology are they adopting to ensure effective software delivery? etc . . .

It is the people behind things like these that we should be celebrating

Programming › Re: Have Problem Finding My Database; A Java Guru To Assist by candylips(m): 4:57pm On Apr 01, 2009
You might need to post all your code for me to see how u are using the prepared statement. looks like an sql syntax error

do u have something like these

insertAnotherEntry.setString(1,"blah"wink
insertAnotherEntry.executeUpdate()

are the names of the columns in quotes?

Also you might want to change this INSERT INTO TABLE " +"(FirstCol, SecondCol, ThirdCol, FourthCol)" + " VALUES (?,?,?,?)"wink;

to this "INSERT INTO TABLE VALUES (?,?,?,?)"wink; if you will be inserting to all the columns in your table

Why another association when you already have NCS.
Programming › Re: Have Problem Finding My Database; A Java Guru To Assist by candylips(m): 9:46am On Apr 01, 2009
i noticed that u don't have spaces before values and the column list.

INSERT INTO TABLE " +"(FirstCol, SecondCol, ThirdCol, FourthCol)" + "  VALUES (?,?,?,?)"wink;

if that doesn't work post the stacktrace of the exception u are getting
TV/Movies › Re: The Apprentice {UK} Thread! by candylips(m): 12:27pm On Mar 31, 2009
Yes last weeks episode was fun but not as good as Celebrity Apprentice (American version) when you have a Dennis Rodman running loose !

American versions of all these shows are just always much much better

Health › Re: Killers At Gbagada General Hospital Still At Large by candylips(m): 11:05am On Mar 31, 2009
I am sorry for your loss.

The hospital and the doctors need to be prosecuted. This is absolutely pathetic. Are there no medical ethics anymore in Nigeria. Please lets spread the word around. Those doctors need to pay dearly for their actions.

davidif:
goodness me, i want to be a quant also and i am applying to so many grad schools but i am still not sure i might get in because i am not an engineering or physics major.
If you have a very strong grade in your undergrad and can demonstrate very good aptitude for maths especially PDE's .(you might want to take a GRE in maths) and programming i.e C/C++, Java you should be fine.

By the way Quants are not the most desirable set of people these days . We are the cause of the current financial mess . The profession is already changing before my very eyes so i'll advice you to hold on a bit be4 u shell out thousands of money for a grad program.

There might not be a Pure Quant role after the recession !!

Politics › Re: Fashola, Computer Village Reach Agreement- To Move In December by candylips(m): 2:24pm On Mar 10, 2009
Its a good move. Its about time lagos gov create business districts all over the state. You just can't have Ikeja and V/I as the only major biz districts. Thats a single point of failure. We need to develop all other parts of the states and i think that is what is being done here

Majority of those idiots write very very bad code. I work with them daily and they are a real pain.

All they do is copy and paste code from the net . ask them to design or architect a system they will be looking like dunce
