I'm now a LIVERPOOL fan.

From Bolton, to Boro, to Everton and now rivals Liverpool. I will stick with liverpool FOREVER. Not following Yakubu anymore, wish them well with Saha and the new prodigy. But I pitch my tent with liverpool now.

I welcome myself.

ComputersRe: The VSAT Internet Business is Doomed? by Christino(m): 12:00pm On Sep 12, 2008
@ NaijaEcash,

You are probably using a Ku-band VSAT. Not all VSATs change faces! Get a C-band if you can.

Bandwidth is costed by ISPs or SPs regardless of the connectivity medium. If the ISP can not "throw" a cable to your village then you must get a V-SAT equipment (if they can provide for it).

@ All,

Don't blame the communications minister, He can easily sell DoPC's VSAT to Netcom should a better deal come up tomorrow. VSATs are mobile, you can even ship one to your village for christmas. Mobile VSATs can sit atop buses and are used at Trade fairs, Exhibitions. Don't bad mouth VSATs if you have little knowledge of them.

@ Samir,

I don't know why all this fuss about VSAT or no VSAT.

It's like keeping a PitBull in your couch and locking the poodle outside!

VSAT is basically for remote locations and places where you don't have fibre/ADSL. It is also for mobile connectivity. VSATs should NOT be used in cities where there is access to broadband connectivity (people here only think INTERNET, common wake up, connectivity does not necessarily imply internet!)

Glo/Nitel won't trunk an optical cable to downtown Mutum Biu or Takum! For rural connectivity, especially mobile telephony, your best bet is VSAT, as rightly said, Gilat are leaders in that regard. I concur.

The high latency you experience with VSAT is obviously due to the distance of the satellite from the earth and the fact that signals have to go up and then down (double latency). As a result you can run a ping test and never get below 500ms in a whole year grin. Nevertheless, demand for VSAT connectivity increases year in year out. Don't sit here and complain, google is your friend. Trade your VSAT in to these VSAT companies (i'm sure they'll jump at it because it's always a scarce commodity) then go buy your DSL. Shikena.

ps: Christino is a Certified "Network" Specialist (embryo expert) wink


In addition,

Wimax/wi-fi do not work independently, they are just means of extending network connectivity, i mean they cannot provide start up connectivity. You cannot compare them with V-SAT. In remote areas, VSAT gets the signals and pass it on to Wimax to enlarge the coverage area and not the other way round, Wimax cannot sit in a remote area and get signals from a distant location. You get the maths and the "catch"?
Jokes EtcRe: Copy and Paste Yahoo! Offlines IM in Here. <all The Funnies And Rumours> by Christino(op): 12:55am On Sep 07, 2008
Who's smarter now, man or woman?

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball

into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it
and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, 'If
you release me from this trap, I will grant you three
wishes.'

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, 'Thank
you, but I failed to mention the condition to your
wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get
times ten!' The woman said, 'That's okay.'

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most
beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her,
'You do realize that this wish will also make your
husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis
whom women will flock to'. The woman replied, 'That's
okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and
he will have eyes only for me.'

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest
woman in the world. The frog said, 'That will make
your husband the richest man in the world. And he
will be ten
times richer than you. 'The woman said, 'That's okay,
because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.'
So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she
answered, 'I'd like a mild heart attack.'

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with
them.

Attention female readers : This is the end of the
joke for you.
Stop here and continue feeling good.



Male readers: Please scroll down.





The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his
wife!!!





Moral of the story: Women think they're really smart.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the
show


PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it
only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to
all the ladies who have a good sense of humor.

We all knew Adebayor at least two years before Wenger declared interest in him. Go check it.

Hleb had the most assists in the Bundesliga the season before Wenger went after him. Go check it.

If Hargreaves was not a success at Bayern (laughs) you saw his quality at the world cup, how has he been making the team in the first place grin. Go check it too.

What about the scores of imports that failed big time, Chelsea apart?

English strikers are rarely in demand, not talking about one season star Beattie (Anelka flopped once). Not to worry dear, the same Henry has gone to Spain and even in the return to England couldn't find the net on English soil?
SportsRe: Epl Coaches Ratings. by Christino(m): 2:56pm On May 14, 2008
Fergie is a good coach you know, living on the edge of a Knife, I've always said a full squad Man-U will keep winning the league. Just Assume Rooney and Ronaldo had injuries for half the season? wink

With all the odds firmly stacked against the man I so much hate, I have to rate him the highest.

so I give it this way.

Grant, AF, AW, Rafa, Ramos, Redknapp, Oneil, Moyes, and the rest.

Guys we have to be realistic, the man we all love to hate, Avram Grant, ugly and unpleasant to supermodels is the Coach of the year, having steered his team into THREE finals and narrowly lost. Also, seeing chelsea into their first Champs league final.

Common boys, give it to Avram!

SportsRe: Flops Of The Year by Christino(m): 2:06pm On May 14, 2008
Shevy is not a flop at all, in fact, Shevy and flop can be used interchangeably. IOW, you could say Shevies of the Year. grin

Alan Smith, Kieran Richardson, David Nugent, Enrique (like luque, spanish import). Ivanov can be spared cos he came as a backup, you don't expect Carvalho or Terry to go down for him, and for Sidwell, sorry, Ballack Lampard, Essien cannot go down for him.
SportsRe: Who Will U Vote As Ur World Best Dis Yr: C. Ronaldo Or Who? by Christino(m): 2:01pm On May 14, 2008
Those who say it's easier to score in the EPL than elsewhere should go and get a life. They aren't lying anyways. I remember when Gunners finished the italians 5 -1 there in Italy. Also, Man-u white washed Roma by 7 goals at old trafford. Inter Milan also proved that the English like to score by losing at home and away to liverpool this season, while Chelsea had to wait for the newbies to come to Stranded bridge before ripping them of their chance.

The colourful gunners battered the defensive defending champions AC on home soil to show the English can score and defend (ask Fabio Ferguson in Nou Camp).

Your so called Italians and Spaniards ran out of scoring fuel abi? Yeye yarns (Barca with 180 minutes and no goal home and away!). Now everyone is scared to play the English.

Check out premiership exports like Kanoute, Forlan, Owen and Nistelrooy and compare with attacking imports from other places. How nobodies like Forlan and Kanoute went ahead and held Spain to ransom is no mystery to me.

For some years now England have been well represented in the Champions league usually reaching the finals, and this year 3 teams in the semi. Time for all bad - belle people to stfu! angry

You got nothing to say so don't say nothing. The EPL is the best league in the world right now, forget about politics.

Car TalkRe: Driver’s Licence: Lagos Setting A Dangerous Precedent – Frsc by Christino(m): 4:42pm On Apr 29, 2008
YES I'm in full support (both hands raised up!)

Of course why not. Lagos is advocating for our (or their) right. Let's share the money.

You pay 3,500 and get your licence within 3 days but you can wait forever if you go through the front door. The same goes for your International Passport. What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for Lagos.

If they are actually doing their work, then all federal roads should look like Ozumba Mbadiwe. Forget about trucks and accidents plying the roads like Americans don't have that, why's the system there working and not working here, why do you have to lose your "arm" and "shocks" to bad roads and water logged pot holes (or pits?), why do armed robbers lie in wait for innocent hard working motorists at these junctions?

I don't know what these guys are trying to protect honestly, cos i know 15 year olds who are still learning to ride a bicycle who already have class E drivers licence issued in ABUJA! grin

Common give it to lagos and let them make more money and issue this thing faster, maybe in one day, if only it can get cheaper.

By the way does anyone know where I can get an International Licence? huh
AutosRe: 2001 Toyota Echo. Automatic: by Christino(m): 4:34pm On Apr 29, 2008
Guy, toyota Echo sold for 1.8m (brand new) in 2001 and with outdated technology your pricing is quite on the high side equalling toks prices for camry, baby boy and the likes of the classic 2001's, do yourself a favour and name 750k wink

By the way, always mention the mileage, in Km.

@ prospective buyers.

Forget about what websites say, I've used the Golf, kia rio, Corrolla and Suzuki petites, the most fuel efficient car is the manual transmission of this model, and even the Yaris (the permanent replacement for the Echo, as echo has been phased out) is not as fuel efficient as it, and the engine, i guess is 1.2L or thereabout. If u work in lagos, facing traffic everyday, buy any of these small cars wink

SportsRe: Nigeria Vs Ghana: Can We Beat The Host Country? by Christino(m): 10:18pm On Feb 03, 2008
Save for Obodo, Oruma, Ayila and Odiah who were absent due to obvious reasons, that's the best team Nigeria coulda emerged with.

All the departments were duly represented, unfortunately, we have overrated individuals who cannot play together as a team, who cannot fire from outside the 18 yard, who shoot at goal like they're poor in bed. . .

and above all, a retired coach receiving his pension, courtesy of Glo who felt they could do us a favour by hiring him.

Since 2000, few will argue that Nigeria's nation's cup performance has always been below par, just a strip of luck here and there and some individual plays. You hardly see 6 to 9 tip taps resulting in goals, no way.

Remember the team that went down 1-0 to Germany in Germany, remember the team that went down 1-0 to England @ Wembley? Above all, remember the team that lost to Italy in the USA - that is the team called the SUPER EAGLES.

Someday, the chickens will grow into fowls, then the fowls and with some genetal mutation, into eaglets and eagles, maybe next year, maybe next decade, maybe next life, but until then,


Home sweet home.

News has it that the Lagos NURTW Chairman, Saula has been assassinated. The operation was allegedly carried out in the midnight. Saula lives in Iyana Ipaja and right now Iyana Ipaja is a NO GO area.

Saula has been a target of assassins for years now following fall outs with many other Garages within Lagos. This has led to deaths of many area boys and garage touts in supremacy battles. He was even detained alongside Gani Adams and co sometime in 2006 and returned Fresh and clean with his Hummer Jeep.
