Joavid:Actually, you first disappeared strangely (your number no longer showed anything on your profile); maybe it was WhatsApp screwing up BB users. Then my phone finally stopped supporting WhatsApp, and I've not gotten on Android yet. I was emulating it on my PC, but it stopped working too. |

@Lilyqueeny, @Joavid Here's one I like by W. B. Yeats, quoted by Sir Ken Robinson in his 2010 TED talk: Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with gold and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Lilyqueeny: Did you compose that yourself? I like it. Joavid, come write me a poem, please... Here's mine to all those we've lost, whether in peace or in peril; for friends and family who, being dead, cannot share our feelings today, here's one for you.

Education / Re: NUC Has Now Approved ABU's E-Learning Masters Programme. What Are Your Thoughts? by Craigston: 10:11pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
ChidinmaRose:It feels like a threat to their status as the local movers of tertiary education, and their source of income. But if their source of income is the preservation and stagnation of an old order that doesn't serve us any longer, then it's worth questioning. The first move of the lobbyists was having degrees and certifications from MOOCs declared unacceptable within Nigeria. But degrees in courses taken abroad, whether by classroom presence of online presence, are acceptable. One might see it as a move to protect local educational institutions from unfair competition, but it's far from that. Knowledge is a prerequisite for national development, and denying students such opportunities by covert means is no less a crime than exploiting their already limiting ignorance. And academia is not a component of society that should be bogged down with unnecessary bureaucracy. I've had much progress educating myself by following MOOCs and other opportunities available on the internet, and I think any tertiary institution willing to de-emphasize profit maximization for a few semesters, for the growth of their staffs' and students' quality of learning, can learn from the model. I won't say exactly how since there are many possibilities. |
Education / Re: NUC Has Now Approved ABU's E-Learning Masters Programme. What Are Your Thoughts? by Craigston: 4:50pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
The new developments in education are shaking up the traditional premise of higher education within walled boundaries. Some tertiary institutions are responding defensively, while others are open to innovation. Thumbs up to ABU; I expect more from them and others. |

Programming / Re: The Effects Of The Ponzi Era On Nigerian Tech Scene by Craigston: 12:06pm On Mar 18, 2017 |
You observe well, larisoft! Another undesired effect is that it has caused some developers to relegate ethics to a place quite lower than it should be. I was approached to setup a ponzi site, but I couldn't take it. I don't regret it anytime. The proliferation of ponzi schemes demonstrate the general disregard for privacy and online security in Nigeria. The guys that approached me had no decent plan to circumvent possible tracking by law enforcement. They would use their emails, bank account / debit card numbers, registered phone numbers, ... to run the scam. What might be the most destructive to entrepreneurship in Nigeria is the tendency to equate ponzi administration to internet entrepreneurship: they're orthogonal to each other, and we need to correct that impression in order to move Nigeria's tech community forward. Again, great observations, larisoft. 1 Like |

Crime / Re: ... by Craigston: 11:47am On Mar 17, 2017 |
You'll really calm down after listening to Ed Sheeran's "Even My Dad Does Sometimes". Then rethink your priorities: if your family is so hostile to you, they're probably not worth your time, for now. Consider that life is much about survival -- it's why we form social bonds to increase our chances of surviving when weak. But if they despise you for being still weak, find another way. It's easier said than done, but it's worth doing. If you don't mind me asking, how was your upbringing? Was it a restrictive, strict routine around the home with the assumption that life happens fine after school? |

uzoexcel:The userland and applications are quite similar. Things get different in configuration for certain things. You have to figure out where things go because the file system hierarchy is slightly different. But it won't take long to get it. I'd say, download CentOS, install it and learn it. It's very close to Redhat; it's RHEL without the license and brand endorsement. |

purplekayc:Give root password for maintenance, unmount your root and home partitions. Then type in 'fsck /dev/sda1', 'fsck /dev/sda3', replacing sda1 and sda3 with the partition labels for your corresponding partitions. This process will attempt to correct filesystem errors. If you are prompted to accept an action, just enter 'y'. 1 Like |
