True, it does not work in all browsers truely. But it was a tutorial, if i want to make it work across all browsers it will be too advanced for newbies for follow.
The way things work is that you study a tutorial, learn the lesson there and advance on it. You cannot expect professional programmers to spoon-feed everyone. I know plenty of people will not even follow the calculator tutorial, they just want to copy the codes without understanding it - their goodluck. At least i have contributed something.
That's right. And those that won't study and understand how the calculator works are not doing themselves any good.

RomanceRe: Why Is Marriage Seeming So Weird To Me? by Craigston: 10:30pm On Nov 28, 2014
killerman47:
I really seem not to understand, forme the idea of bringing in another adult into my house(an adult like me with two legs, two arms, two eyes, not in anyway handicapped), and start taking care OF her, seeing to every other needs really freaks me out, forme it seems so weird and incomprehensible, I find it difficult coming to terms with it.
Most of my friends are married (I happen to have chaired most of their c ' tee of friends), when I discuss this with them, and try asking them how they cope with that, they will burst into hysterical laughter, and will never address my question......

Please nairalanders I need answers .... is it (marriage) not a weird idea? Or my the weird one here?

Honest answers needed.
Me too. And I hate it when my mother and my siblings talk about. It irritates me. They talk about crap like marriage, someone having a flat ass (which I find okay) and many others.

A mobile chess game can only do so much for you.
Is there no way you can get a real chessboard?
I'll see to that. Would the mobile chess game do for the while? Uh, how much could a real chess board cost? Maybe a plastic one or a laminated one.

Hello Nairaland. I would like to have some help and advice on this: I want to learn chess, so I downloaded a mobile chess game; but I'm usually beaten to frustration each time I try to play it. And more to it is that I hate failure. I also downloaded a tutorial for chess (in PDF format, but my phone cannot open the file), so I will be glad to have some directions. Just drop it, however little: it all counts. Thank you.

EducationRe: 10 Most Annoying Nigerian Media English Expressions. by Craigston: 1:00pm On Nov 26, 2014
ellalina:
In a related development

this phrase is grammatically correct but the error is in it usage.
the word development is generically a positive word so you cannot use it to explain something negative.

eg you can't say : 3 students were shot dead during a protest.in a related development, 5 student were also killed during a political rally.
you can not also say developing a cancer or brain tumor etc. instead why don't you just say similar event etc

2: BUT CANNOT BE FOLLOWED WITH A POSITIVE STATEMENT .

but signifies negativity or something opposite of a pleasant experience.

e.g they were involved in a ghastly motor accident but they are fine.
a correct expression would be.

they survived the accident but they they sustained injuries.

pls note that this is just my opinion and understanding
In my opinion, 'but' can be followed by either positive or negative events. The safety precaution is to avoid using but as a conjunction for two events of the same tone: it must between a negative event and a positive event in no definite order.

There is really no excuse for Nigeria's predicament. If these countries that experience disasters on mammoth scales still develop further, a free and blessed nation as Nigeria is inexcusable.

WebmastersRe: Why Blogs Are Better Than Websites by Craigston: 6:52pm On Nov 23, 2014
moderatorr:
why keyboards are better than computers, one is a member of one, they are used for different purposes.
A blog is a type of website.
Right. In some cases, a blog is a subset of a website: it is an optional feature. The blogs they run are just sub-domains in a larger website. They're given moderator permissions over that section: call it their profile. It's just the same as their facebook profiles. Wordpress, for example, is the website and has features that allow them to run their profiles like another site and add plug-ins and scripts without affecting the website itself. Similar to web hosting, file sharing and the likes.

Someone can learn programming without school.. Schools are for certificates.

Why do developed countries have young highly skilled programmershuh It's cos they started learning on their own before they were 12-15 years old.
Here in Nigeria, you have to discover yourself, especially for this and previous generations. I hope the next generations of parents will expose their children early. Not tending them like roses pets and expecting them to know what to do when they tick 18. Here, most parents only know the sequence: kindergarten » primary » secondary » if (finance == good) {tertiary}; else {'pikin go find work. Your mates are working under the sun. This is Nigeria.'} » get married and also take care of me. Be a man. But you trained him like an exotic poultry breed meant for december 25, fattening him with ready-made bread and tea. In advanced countries like USA, children are taught to work; little services like lawn mowing for the neighbor attract money. The children go to offer it for money. I remember a story of a girl who started candle-making business with $1,000 she BORROWED from her parents and had birthday celebrants, party throwers and more target groups as her customers. It turned out big.
Zuckerberg started out early with a programming textbook his parents bought him.
You can learn programming on your own, YES. But, most times, the answer is 'it depends'.

The fees you'll pay a computer school is more than enough to download free programming videos and books that the computer school would dream of teaching you... Remember, school has an end but learning is forever.. so discipline your mind and begin your self-education...
Somehow, if everything could be learned on our own, there wouldn't be need for the institutions of learning.

CareerRe: Please Advice Which Course To Take by Craigston: 9:56am On Nov 20, 2014
Uh, I can't find a strong relationship between Biochemistry, Microbiology and Computer Science in the Nigerian economy. You should be contemplating other health-related courses if your passion revolves around that: you'd do better still in the health field that in a different field altogether. Although in advanced economies, health and Computer Science have great meeting points.
ProgrammingRe: How Can I Learn Programming Without Computer School. by Craigston: 9:44am On Nov 20, 2014
I suggest that you also get books too. Not all videos are as comprehensive as books. A combination of both will be good. But for some videos, the person explaining is human. You get? Unless he would record the video over a long time taking breaks to refresh. Books offer you the advantage of uninterrupted meditation: at your own pace. Hard copy or soft copy, whichever you prefer.

Akell:
[size=14pt]
My fiancée's friend is in love with me.

I met this lady once in my life but she said she has seen my pictures on my girl's phone and has since fallen in love.

It all started when I went to meet my babe at her office and met me one of her friends with her. The next day, I saw 3 messages on my phone at about 7pm. They were messages of plea that I should consider her as one of my girlfriends. I didn't know who it was so I showed the message to my babe. She went through her phone and saw it was her friend. She was perplexed but I urged her to remain calm.

Her friend had obviously stolen my number from her phone. I tried calling the number that sent the messages but was switched off for days. The third day, it went through and she pleaded with tears that I should consider her. She professed her love for me. She said it was stupid of her to fall for her friend's guy but she said it was beyond her.

I made efforts to meet her in person without the knowledge of my babe. Then, she told me that she would do anything to have me. Even if it entails going to my babe, kneeling with tears in her eyes, holding onto her asking that she leaves me for her. With the look of things, this so called feelings ain't abating.

NLers, please, what do I do? I love my babe, I don't want to hurt her.
On the other side, I don't wanna hurt this lady. I just want her to be fine. I don't want her to kill her self or do something nasty. Advice please. What can I do to bring her down.[/size]
urgent please!!!
If you let emotions control you, you'll drown in confusion. Just be rational and the answer will come to you.
