There is a wonderful video clip about the beauty of Africa on this ste - www.nigeriannewsnetwork.com
The music that goes along with it is quite inspiring.

It's aptly called "The Africa They Never Show You, "


Great job RSA.

Computers / Re: Vmware 7 Issue by Dokki: 2:14am On Feb 27, 2010
shocked Ok,
I will not point my finger too as my mama told me it was rude grin

HOWEVER, VMware ESXi 3.5 and ESX4i (vSphere) which are server versions are totally free since 2008, just register with any bogus email addy and your license key will be emailed to you. With this version you can create the mother of all VM environments and you can command line yourself to death without ever having to launch a gui. Best of all it is a 40meg kernel leaving you tons of space on your HD to do whatever you want. If you want support on it you pay but then again if i remember correctly so also for linux and or virtualbox
As they say knowledge is power so , http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/

Computers / Re: How Can I Access My Vps With Mtn Fastlink by Dokki: 10:39pm On Feb 23, 2010
Word of advice if i may, next time you want to post something like this remove all bits of info that can be used to compromise you.
For instance you just revealed to the whole world your IP.
That is one less thing a hacker needs to find about your setup in order to get on your box.
Not everyone looking at this is your friend - i will bet you that from today the logs monitoring intrusion attempts on your VPS will increase.

If you can you should remove the screenshot asap.

Just an FYI

Computers / Re: Used Hard Disk Space by Dokki: 8:03pm On Feb 23, 2010
You have another option but you need this done by a professional and you will need to spend a little bit of money.

a. Buy yourself another hard drive that will fit your laptop make sure is is larger than your exisitng one
b. Get an IT professional to "ghost" your existing drive on to the new one - use Symantec Ghost or Acronis

All your settings and files will remain the same and you will have yourself the free space you need.

Options 1,2,3 are rather similar and some will say the same thing - you will need to acquire another physical device t put your data on.
Option 4 requires you to have the bandwidth to upload and download your files.

As per the protection - nobody can give you that assurance, the only data that is protected is the one that is not on a computer and in your head grin

One thing that you can do and will cost you nothing is to evaluate exactly what you have on your hard drive and keep only what is important, delete the rest, this will free up space for you.


By the way - there are people here who are willing to help without asking for anything.

Good Luck!

Computers / Re: Help Me With This Key Problem by Dokki: 7:43pm On Feb 23, 2010
If the computer is a new HP - isn't there a sticker on the side with the windows xp serial # on it.
This is how it is supposed to be - if it was bought from a reputable reseller then they should provide this key to you.
Check on the computer casing, it should be visible to you.

@Redman44
And how do know that this is not being discussed on other open forums?
Can you read Hindi, Bangla, Polish, Romanian or Chinese to see what kind of dirty linen is being washed.

I would like to assume that the gent that asked the question had no other viable source to turn to for this info hence the question to the forum.
Perphaps you can suggest on better ways of him going about it and we can all learn something and cover our unclothedness.

Forget the UK, it is too saturated.
Your friend is going from frying pan to fire if he makes this move.
My advice is if he wants to leave NGR is to go to other countries with bigger populations and more lenient immigration rules - there are plenty.
Where there is a will there is a way, you just need to be informed,

A lot has to do with the fact that he is B-L-A-C-K and he has been beating the oyinbo man at a game they invented.
He is not the first to do this and will not be the last ,
We all make mistakes and deserve forgiveness and chances to get it right the next time.

Computers / Re: How Can I Use My Laptop To Record Sounds/audio? by Dokki: 4:35pm On Feb 23, 2010
Yes your laptop has an internal microphone -
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/pc-peripherals/notebook-computers/n-series/NP-NC10-KA02UK/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=spec&fullspec=F

To activate it or check if it is working follow these instructions -
Go to Start -> Settings -> Control panel -> Sounds and Audio devices

On the volume tab - click on advanced, you will see a column called Microphone, make sure there is no check mark on mute, if there is click in the box to remove the check mark

If you don't see the Microphone column, click on options (top left hand corner) and in the drop down menu click on Properties. Click on playback and put a check mark in all the boxes in the window especially the one for microphone.

Click on recording and do the same thing - put a check mark in all boxes.

click on Ok and now you should be able to see the Microphone column and follow the above instruction.

After all the above is done, click ok to go back to sounds and audio devices, click on voice and click on the test hardware.
Follow the instructions, hopefully everything will work for you.


Good Luck!

Computers / Re: How Can I Use My Laptop To Record Sounds/audio? by Dokki: 4:49am On Feb 23, 2010
Yes you can - most laptops today come with built in microphones to do this.
2 thing you should note however -
1. You might need some software to carry out what you want but it might be included in the packages installed on your laptop
2. The recorded sound quality is usally poor because of background noice and quality of the microphone so you will hear alot of hissing over the recording.

To use you microphone - if you are using windows you need to activate this, there are a few ways to do this depending on the flavour of windows you are using but most will allow you to do this from the control panel - let me know the version you are using and i will give you the instructions.

Good Luck

Computers / Re: Vmware 7 Issue by Dokki: 4:43am On Feb 23, 2010
Another thing i wanted to say - if you want to use virtualization go with the leader VMware and not the followers grin
There is no other virtualization product out in the market that can compare feature wise and performance wise to VMware.
Not Citrix, Not Hyper V, Not Vitual Iron, Not Xen,

Disclaimer - i don't work for VMware i just use their products (extensively) grin

Computers / Re: Vmware 7 Issue by Dokki: 4:29am On Feb 23, 2010
Can you provide the exact error message you are getting?
Does it boot up? Do you get the windows splash screen?
Another thing you should check is if it is licensed properly - i know for the demo versions after the demo expiration period you will no longer be able start up VM, any VM that is running will not have a problem but once you stop if it will not run again until you put in the proper licence.
Another thing you can do is download the vmware player (this is free) export your VM to it and run it to see if it runs - only thng with player is you can't use it to create VM's.

Let us know what the exact error you are getting is and someone can surely help.

Good Luck

Webmasters / Re: Abeg Comment On This Site by Dokki: 4:19am On Feb 23, 2010

Webmasters / Re: SMTP Server: How Do I Unblock A Blacklisted IP Address? by Dokki: 4:12am On Feb 23, 2010
Another thing you might want to do in the meantime while you are "hardening" or securing your server is limit the amount of mail that can be sent out by any account in an hour, drop this down to like 100 and also not to allow the "nobody" account to send email off your server.
This may piss off a few of your clients however it is for your own good - as you will find out in your journey to remove your server from blacklists.

Good Luck!

Business / Re: Nigerian Acquires London Gatwick Airport by Dokki: 3:35am On Feb 23, 2010
So we should promote it - after all we are part of the international community aren't we?
When we see one of our own doing such lofty things we should hold him high,
This is a start right here,

You can actually listen to him speak here www.nigeriannewsnetwork.com

He is quite eloquent but i guess you have to be if you went to Harvard and Yale for starters,

For one both of them are powerless as the president is still around.

Before anyone can help you need to provide some key info -
1. the make and model of your PC/laptop/server etc
2. If you can't get #1 you wil need to tell us what type of network interface card you have in your system.

Once you provide this help can be provided.
