kodewrita: The challenge is simple and familiar. No time limit involved. participation only if it tickles your fancy. I would hope we would also try to find loopholes where we can.


Challenge: Write a program in any language that takes in a string and checks to see that it is a strong password that follows the following instructions:

---mixture of capitalized and small letters.
---numbers must be there.
---special characters in the following list( +,&,@) {just trying to make it simpler for everyone}
---no spaces

Only restriction: No COBOL. No Smalltalk and definitely no Assembler ( spare our brains grin )<--Feel free to break this.

PhonesRe: New Samsung Galaxy S4 Now Available In Nigeria by ciphoenix: 12:27pm On Apr 16, 2013
pawn89: my note 2 fell from a height slightly above knee level and shattered, went to samsung shop for a replacement and it cost me 47k.
mine has fallen and bounced some meters away from me, most recognizable defect is a a smudge on the upper left corner. cool
and this has happened several times that i no longer worry when it falls. a friend's S3 on the other hand fell twice, first time there was a crack, second time the screen was unusable.
there's no doubting about the note 2, its a wonderful device perhaps except from my laptop, its the most sophisticated gadget have handled, but you see, the problem here is you really cannot compare;

1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches (~441 ppi pixel density)(Samsung galaxy S4)with the 720 x 1280 pixels, 5.5 inches (~267 ppi pixel density)(Note 2) display as the S4 gives a vivid clear squeaky clean crystal clear display

13 MP, 4128 x 3096 pixels of the S4 with a 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels of the note 2

and the juicy part is that the S4 will be powered with the snapdragon 600 chipset or Exynos 5 Octa, both featuring a logical 8 cores against the 4 cores processor on board the note 2, the list caa keep going.

In general, the performance of the note 2 is superb but what this S4 has on board is something out of the ordinary.
my only regret is just the plastic casing, how i wish it can have a form factor of the sony xperia Z and also be water resistant too grin
my concern about the S lineup is the size. i find it really difficult typing with the S3. the S4's specs are great but i'll gladly wait for the note 3 cheesy

caukerzee: Dude stick to the note 2. Theres No Spen on S4...nothing feels better than that. Only a note can replace a note. Just wait for the note 3.
FACT!!! me and my note 2 will remain in this relationship grin grin grin . the only device i see myself switching to will be the note 3 when it arrives.

for some reason all the members of the S lineup now feels too tiny for me to use comfortably undecided
PhonesRe: Android, Anyone? Part II by ciphoenix: 5:40pm On Apr 15, 2013
Azanor: Hey all,

Been using the 3G Nexus 7 for about 2 weeks plus and so far so good. The only hitch I've noticed so far is there's no way to lock your mobile data connection to 3G only. The option is simply not available among the Mobile Network options.

This is especially annoying because whenever I get home the tablet goes to EDGE and using the internet becomes brutally slow. It's only in certain parts of the house that the connection goes back to 3G/HSPA.

I've scoured the interwebs for a solution but have come up short. Does anyone know a way to overcome this problem?
it's meant to go to EDGE when 3G is unavailable

ProgrammingRe: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by ciphoenix: 12:22am On Apr 15, 2013
Ayo_hbk: i use google chrome
google chrome gives false "download complete" notifications sometimes. compare the size of your downloaded file and that stated on the site and you'll discover you're probably missing some megabytes. try using a download manager (preferably internet download manager) or a browser with a good download manager e.g. Opera.

2 he bought a chinese clone.

donlyone: @ Bamstand, you have been duped, there is no 4gig ROM version of the Galaxy s3, also when you see MEDIATEK just know it is pure Chinko.

Note that galaxy S3 has:
8mp camera not 5mp
4.8 inch AMOLED screen not 4.7 QHD
Internet speed is like 21mbps not 7.2.

Oh, yes, their is no such thing as ANDROID 4.1.9

Go to www.gsmarena.com to learn more.

Be more vigilant next time
as in ehn grin grin

419 indeed

i l'll love to see a shot though

luluosas: Amigo no. 2, how did you get to know about this man we are discussing here. Do you know him? Have you seen him one-on-one in your entire life? What are you therefore arguing here, when both of us rely on hearsay? Na wa for you sef.
you're the one saying he can't.
my point is, a man in a lower
socioeconomic class will most
likely consider certain acts of
those in higher classes as wasteful

you can't pass judgement on another
person's spending unless you're
sponsoring them.
you could say you would never spend
such but you shouldn't tag it
"wasteful" because that word is relative

you don't see him doing that? really? you must know him that well. you only know what you're told amigo. even if he gets a $10 milliom neck chain, you wouldn't know unless you're told.

luluosas: Now to the topic:

The writer used the word WEIRD.
the wierd used there is in reference
to the design. hence the reference to
his previous design which used a real
t-rex bone.

the fact is "waste" is relative.
some folks would actually consider
getting an iPhone a waste


Now, how many weird things have you seen Dangote done with his stupendous wealth? Or, is job creation which is synonymous with the name Dangote a weird thing? Maybe you need to educate me/us here. Thank you.
now you're going somewhere else.
my question was
ciphoenix: would you consider it waste if Dangote were to spend 15m Naira on something fancy?
you do consider it wasteful whereas
someone else in same socioeconomic
class wouldn't.
you need to understand that class
shapes thought.
