Al-Khwarizmi was 1000+ years ago. Doesn't make much sense to be boasting about that when there is nothing recent of note they've done.

You could also generate a random number between [0,1] for each card.

Then sort the cards by the random # you generated.

This isn't as cheap as cycling through each entry and sending to a random location, though (which is what you seem to be suggesting in the original post.)

OAM4J:
just as he pleaded with Nigerians not to despair because benefits of a united nation far outweigh the reversed order.

What is the argument for this? If anything, Nigeria at the moment is less than the sum of its parts, no?

Country of 160 million+ people punching far below its weight.

arsenefc:
Only if Mr. SW aka Mr. Yoruba aka Mr. Ekiti would listen.

In the world the US has the highest number of r/a/p/e crimes, in terms of rate and number.

Kindly explain of what relevance that is to this thread? Anyway, your own link contradicts what you just said.

Evil Nigerian unions again.

So you only reveal the shady practices of you and the company you worked for AFTER management refuses to raise your salary/benefits?

Selfish and useless goats.

Both the union and company need to be investigated and possibly taken to court.

Bad enough that this foolish TA Orji is disgracing his own state, but he doesn't need to disgrace Nigeria too

No investigation, but the international media at least is covering the ra.pe:

Wary of the damage to the state and the university's reputation, officials in Abia refused to back down.

The governor's wife issued a statement saying she was sure that there had been "no such inglorious act and ugly incident" at Abia State University.

Police maintained that with no victim there could be no investigation.

Abia government is a disgrace 

dplordx:
ode. f00l. thats why you have an animal and criminal like tinubu as your leader. bunch of poor and penniless jobless bunch.

My region is the 2nd richest in Nigeria after the SS. It looks like the gap will only widen over the next 4 years, given the competent hands we have on deck in the SW.

So why would I want your sympathy? Save it for yourself.

^-- *shrug*

If you don't like it, bounce

Don't let the door hit your @ss on the way out

Like would it be so bad if a girl makes the first move?

If a girl invites herself over to your crib?

There is something refreshing about girls who know what they want (me) and aren't afraid to ask for it

I'm not saying that you are being cryptic; I understood what you were saying. Talking about women in general. Like they won't just come out and make the first move (which makes sense of course.)

Lagos unveils four-year plan to boost LPG
By Bidemi Bakare 22/09/2011 00:00:00
Font size:   
The Lagos State government yesterday revealed plans to boost consumption of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also called cooking gas, in the state in the next four years.
It said it is prepared to raise its consumption, put at about 60 per cent of the nation’s total consumption, through different targets.
At a public/private sector dialogue on LPG for cleaner and greener environment in Lagos, the state’s Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Taofik Tijani, enumerated some of these targets.
They include injection of an estimated 2.3 million gas cylinders/cookers into the system, establishment of 200 auto gas conversion and 200 cylinder maintenance workshops and the registration of 150 new trucks.
Others are the introduction of LPG into 50 per cent of taxis, government vehicles, public transport buses and corporate staff buses.
The state also hopes to record 800 new retailers and 100 new plants.
On how the state intends to achieve these targets, Taofik said it has put in place many strategies.
These, he said, includes the development of innovative funding mechanisms in form of micro finance schemes to overcome initial costs, the regulation of fair competition in the industry and the development and enforcement of world class cylinder management principles.
Other strategies include the campaign against cross filling and decanting to ensure consumer protection, encouragement of the use of appropriate equipment for economic and safety reasons and targeting subsidies for household use by lowering the initial entry cost of service.
He noted that LPG consumption in the state was low compared with some mega cities in the world, he said with the government’s action and attitude of residents toward LPG, the right environment can be created for investment to flow. LPG has become popular across the world because of the advantages it offers, he added.
Some of the advantages are the reduction of deforestation, improvement of health, provision of significant business opportunities, reduction of poverty and decrease in CO2 emissions.
He noted that the private-public dialogue on LPG was necessary to help the state develop a blueprint for moving the LPG sector forward.
He said: “We are aware that infrastructure is important to develop LPG. We know there are cylinder manufacturing companies somewhere around Ibadan and other places. So, what my ministry intends to do is to engage the manufactures of these cylinders to find out what there problems and challenges are.”
We think that when the LPG cylinder manufacturing companies are working then they can produce the cylinders locally and complement what is being imported. So we will take the initiative to engage the manufacturers to find out how we can support them.”

If a girl is interested in you she will find a way to let you know. Take notice.

Women are so damn cryptic. Wish they were more direct

rokiatu:
Both of them suck what the fu!ck.

For a starter, the guy is not even supposed to tell the girl where he's taking her. . . . is supposed to be a suprise no?

Who said this? Why should it be a surprise?

And the girl should just shut her dirty mouth and go with the flow. Is not as if they are dating even. So why all the fuss?

+1

She can decide after the first date whether she wants to continue or not.

For me I don't look at the venue where I am taken on a first date, but the person personality, how I relate with them, and how we connect.

And who expect the best out of a first date anyway? First dates are like blind dates, expect nothing but the worst. If it turns out good, then good luck to you.

+100

What even makes all of this sketchy is that they met a club. So he literally doesn't know the chick at all. Only thing he knows is that she is pretty. I don't understand why she'd even want someone she doesn't even know spending big cash on her?

Weird to me.

[quote author=aloy/emeka link=topic=766410.msg9202132#msg9202132 date=1316744566]Where in Odo-Ado do they sell expensive dinner?. For an Ekiti guy, a N250/plate dinner is outrageously expensive.   [/quote]

Leave ekiti alone jor

rokiatu:
Please add undecided to the poll.

Maybe i'm being really dumb right now, but I don't see an option for editing the poll :x

Man at the companies I've been looking at they ask pretty hard questions. All sorts of brainteasers, puzzles, algorithms+data structures questions. Not really open-ended or behavioral types (well, this is a part of the interview, but not all of it.)

lmao, ndu_chucks is a hilarious dude

A friend of mine met this girl. He wants to take her somewhere relatively inexpensive for a first date. She is expecting a big expensive dinner, and is making a fuss about his previous proposal.

My friend is getting cold feet. . . doesn't know this chick at all and doesn't want to spend tons of cash on a girl he doesn't even know.

Is he being cheap, or is she demanding too much?

Personally I think she is asking for too much. First dates are basically supposed to be low-key affairs where you just get to know each other more, right?

Tinubu 4 life

Big booty, small booty, both are great
