PoliticsRe: The Rawls Centre Laments High Cost Of Petrol In Bayelsa by escobar07(m): 1:49pm On Apr 11, 2012
gentleoyink: @ those of you talking

For your information, the high price of petrol in the riverine areas is not because of the increase in pump price.
Do your research and you will find out that even during Obj and Yaradua's time, fuel has been selling btw N120 to N150 in Ijaw villages.

The person who started this thread is proud because of the less informed responses he has gotten so far from those who would not just accept that GEJ is their president.
. Good. But dont u think jonathan should be able to use his position to ensure dat his people who supported him during d subsidy saga get fuel at d normal price. One could argue dat in obj's case there was no 'motivation' to ensure uniformity of price. In jona's case: he is their son and they supported him during d protest.
PoliticsRe: Why Are Nigerians So Pessimistic About Nigeria? by escobar07(m): 7:16pm On Apr 10, 2012
i think nigerians are actually d opposite. A land whr d basic things of life are hard to come by, yet her people carry on stoically. Arent d deplorable conditions around here enough to make one pessimistic, really? One reason why we are still whr we are is optimism(e go beta principle) probably fuelled by religion. And again, nigerians dont truly hate their leaders, they just wish they were in their shoes(me sef go get there one day).

ProgrammingRe: Which Do I Learn First C Or C++ by escobar07(m): 12:52pm On Apr 04, 2012
if u are totally new to programming, u may want to learn python, ruby or perl first. But again, nothing stops u from learning c or cplusplus as ur first language. There have been novices who did dis. Its depends largely on ur person(personality). Learning c or cpp will enhance ur knowledge of memory (let me not bore u), will make u learn other languages faster.i also advice dat u start wit cpp.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Nigeria Drops From 1st To 101st In Happiness Index. Denmark Is New No. 1 by escobar07(m): 10:23am On Apr 04, 2012
They certainly got it wrong when they said we were the happiest people. The average joe is stoical, hopeful and an inverterate optimist. I think they mistook these qualities for happiness. Now, they have put us in our rightful position.

i went thru dat road recently and i can say d job is over 90 percent done. The ore axis is the area remaining to be fixed completely. But along d road there are some bumps, and i can just fathom y they r there. Those bumps were created wen repair works were carried out.. The bumps just dont make sense. As for the median cosing arguments, its on the road; near d ore section.

Dats the book am using. I can tell that its one of the best. One thing you have to realise is that c++ is a big language and its pretty complex due to its low level stuffs. It may take u many months to be comfortable with d language. Bt if u dont want to continue with d book, try c++ primer. If u want to go visual programming, try visual c++ 2010 by ivor ...

ProgrammingRe: Help! C++ by escobar07(op): 5:17pm On Mar 14, 2012
Kobojunkie: @Poster, take the number, if you expect only 5 digit length all the time, then you consider the following

Integer 45678/10000 = 4 and 45678 mod 10000 = 5678.
Integer 5678/1000 = 5 and 5678 mod 1000 = 678.
Integer 678/100 = 6 and 678 mod 100 = 78
Integer 78/10 = 7 and 78 mod 10 = 8.



Now if you have variable length input digit, then you can, as someone suggested, using the String length function, figure out the length of the integer passed in, and then compute the power of 10 to work from.

Kai!! I essentially did all the work for you.
Gosh!Brilliant!.Only that you made me look silly.lol.Thanks anyway

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: UCL: Inter Milan Vs Marseille (2 - 1) On March 13th 2012 by escobar07(m): 11:12pm On Mar 13, 2012
The only obstacle to Inter going through was AGE. After Inter scored and the game was entering the dying minutes, i became jittery because i knew the implication of going into extra time with old players. With all due respect to OM, Inter could have buried the game in the first half. Inter was only doing it in fits and starts, and as a matter of fact, their were long periods in the game where Inter were largely pedestrian. One reason they couldn't score again was the fact very few quality balls actually got to milito-- it has been this way all season(pazzini comes to mind)-- the midfield has always been bland. i would i loved to say more, but let me just go lick ma wounds. Inter needs to get the average age down and do something about the midfield. if wesley is to be sold, then quickly.
