@Saga,
I believe the guy was touched by the living condition of his only sister, u know.

The best form of help to some family members is to give them whatever you can and bid them god-speed!
Don't bring them close into any business patnership, mostly they will assume you are already at par with Dangote, whatever you put into the business will be seen as surplus money that you have no need of. Ask them to account and you become an instant enemy!

This one is even an in-law. A guy (working in Germany) from my home town sent money to his direct elder brother to build a family house for all of them, the accursed brood collected all the cash and squandered, after a while, went and snapped a picture of a cool mansion else where and sent to his brother as a proof of job well done.
Dude nearly ran mad when he came home for his marriage rites.

By the way, how can a policeman claim to have lent 25m to somebody? Even all his lifetime earnings can't be up to that now?

It's hard to say who invented the Internet. There were many mathematicians and scientists who contributed to its development; computers were sending signals to each other as early as the 1950s. But the Web owes much of its existence to Philip Emeagwali, a math whiz who came up with the formula for allowing a large number of computers to communicate at once.

Emeagwali was born to a poor family in Akure, Nigeria, in 1954. Despite his brain for math, he had to drop out of school because his family, who had become war refugees, could no longer afford to send him. As a young man, he earned a general education certificate from the University of London and later degrees from George Washington University and the University of Maryland, as well as a doctoral fellowship from the University of Michigan.

At Michigan, he participated in the scientific community's debate on how to simulate the detection of oil reservoirs using a supercomputer. Growing up in an oil-rich nation and understanding how oil is drilled, Emeagwali decided to use this problem as the subject of his doctoral dissertation. Borrowing an idea from a science fiction story about predicting the weather, Emeagwali decided that rather than using 8 expensive supercomputers he would employ thousands of microprocessors to do the computation.

The only step left was to find 8 machines and connect them. (Remember, it was the 80s.) Through research, he found a machine called the Connection Machine at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which had sat unused after scientists had given up on figuring out how to make it simulate nuclear explosions. The machine was designed to run 65,536 interconnected microprocessors. In 1987, he applied for and was given permission to use the machine, and remotely from his Ann Arbor, Michigan, location he set the parameters and ran his program. In addition to correctly computing the amount of oil in the simulated reservoir, the machine was able to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second.

The crux of the discovery was that Emeagwali had programmed each of the microprocessors to talk to six neighboring microprocessors at the same time.

The success of this record-breaking experiment meant that there was now a practical and inexpensive way to use machines like this to speak to each other all over the world. Within a few years, the oil industry had seized upon this idea, then called the Hyperball International Network creating a virtual world wide web of ultrafast digital communication.

The discovery earned him the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers' Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, and he was later hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet. [size=14pt]Since then, he has won more than 100 prizes for his work and Apple computer has used his microprocessor technology in their Power Mac G4 model. [/size] Today he lives in Washington with his wife and son.

"The Internet as we know it today did not cross my mind," Emeagwali told TIME. "I was hypothesizing a planetary-sized supercomputer and, broadly speaking, my focus was on how the present creates the future and how our image of the future inspires the present."

Well,  This is an article that is currently on TIME magazine which neither they, nor APPLE computers is yet to challenge. I wonder why all these bashing in Nigeria when the man lives and publishes all his claims in the civilised USA.

Hi Folks,

I'm on the Glo monthly data plan and I must say its really excruciating trying to tether with it.
Any tips please?

Thanks.
BB 9700.

You don't need to go through the stress of tether any more.
Just update your device OS to version 5.0 if it is less than that currently, then update your desktop manager to version 6.0.
Once you launch DM 6.0, click on TOOLS and you will see the option to configure device as modem, you will need to get the settings from your service providers, once you key it in, Viola! Welcome to the internet on PC via BB

Caveat: Charges /kb can drain all ur call credits faster than you can ever imagine!

Baba Kay,

Thanks a lot for the great job.

pls help with this 4T1BG22K2XU910021

Thanks a lot for the other day, bro.

Pls help with this report JTDBR32E132011476

Aburo, kunle,

Pls help me download report for this VIN: JTEGH20V510014438

Whoa!
I actually broke through a career challenge recently by moving from core technical IT analyst to IT business development after nearly four years.
Now am inclined to develop and deploy electronic payment options for organisations and businesses, It gives me opportunity to travel widely, build contacts and use business negotiation skills, skills that i never had to use at the backend, and which i will massively need when i decide to go Entrepreneuring.

I am really enjoying it!

Well, serious countries are taking it up with d Canadians.

My country cannot even track an open data, infact analog voice call is still a mystery to them, not to talk of encrypted data.

we're are still busy encrypting election rigging formats.
