Ur friend isnt telling u the whole truth. Ur friend is enjoying something from the guy. When she isnt getting what she enjoys now,she will leave him & move on. But if she isnt ready to move on to get a life then ur friend needs treatment.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Power Supply Will Be Among Best 20 By 2020 – Jonathan by etchel(m): 2:14pm On Jun 29, 2012
canuck: See, folks, it's really not about hating but a burning desire to see TANGIBLE results of democracy in our country.

I took your advise to heart and read the short 280-word article 10 times, and I still do not see anything other than promises.

Nigerians are jaded and cynical because we've been hearing "Better life by 1990" "Good life by 2000" "Heavenly life by 2010", now "Powered life by 2020"

GEJ represents all that disappointment that he is the lightening rod taking all the hit - If he indeed he proves cynics wrong, the cynic camp will lay desolate.

Until then, GEJ and his die-hard supporters (I used to be one, and I am still ever ready to support a winner GEJ) should huncker down and get ready to be battered by Nigerians.

Exactly! You've said it all. WE NEED RESULTS not PROMISES. GEJ is just voicing out words until his actions speaks better.
FamilyRe: Can U Do This? With Pix by etchel(m): 10:04am On Jun 29, 2012
WhyAWhy: [size=18pt]There are many men on this forum who are 1 cent worth of a man. I wonder what you think a man is.

Possibilities
1. His wife is cooking in the kitchen while he needs to do a quick laundry. Kitchen environment is not too good for a baby's respiratory health
2. His wife has gone to the market/is ill and he wants to save her from the trouble of carrying the baby around.

infact, you people should get a life! Sometimes i feel ashamed of being a man hearing the way some men think. What's wrong in this for crying out loud?!![/size]
[size=14pt]It takes more than having a pendulum to be called a man!!![/size]
happy u are ashamed of being a man. Get a life dude and check what a real man responsibility is.

ComputersRe: 3 Things Microsoft Cannot Explain by etchel(m): 5:31pm On Jun 27, 2012
Maleeq: No biggie. Its a known tradition that programmers/developers add "Easter Eggs" to applications.

These are hidden features that don't necessarily add features to the application. But they are kinda cool. Google it out, do you know there are hidden car racing games in lower versions of excel??


There are several reserved keywords in Windows. The restriction isn't a mistake/magic that, as you claim, even Microsoft cant explain. Ofcourse they put it there to avoid conflict. The CON is a DOS reserved keyword that was brought forward into Windows. CON is used to specify the device file used to capture whatever was printed onscreen.


And oh yes, you can create the folder. You have to specify the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path though. Try it:
Open the Command prompt by clicking Start -> Run and typing cmd
Enter: C:\> md \\.\c:\con and press the ENTER key.
Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder... Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully

Now, try to delete the folder from My computer. OOPS!!! You cant delete it...

Now, try this in command prompt console

C:\> rd \\.\c:\con


Yeah!! You did it...
Check this link for other names you cant use: Restricted File Names On Windows/DOS


Another hoax. They put it there to create "Filler texts" in a document. Not just the numbers (200, 99), try any combination.
Typing =rand(X,Y) (with numbers for X and Y) results in X paragraphs of Y repetitions of the sentence.
For example, =rand(10,10) will produce ten paragraphs, each with ten repetitions. Microsoft has officially described this as a feature and not an Easter egg.
While you are at it, try =rand() and see the "magic"


Wingdings font is all about symbols (characters to symbols), it was developed by Microsoft in 1990 and since then it has been a part of every text editor by Microsoft. Its no magic or hoax, but an amazing coincidence.
The magic is valid, but the flight number is a lie, those are not the flight numbers of the one that hit Twin Towers. The flight numbers were United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines flight 11. These, if shortened, would be UA175 and AA11. Q33N is just an interesting coincidence in notepad.

Neeeeeeeext!
Aha, here comes another geek. Thanks but d prb is do u work alone or u share rub minds or probably u are a teacher?
RomanceRe: Contract Marriage, Anyone With Me On This Thought? by etchel(m): 1:48pm On Jun 27, 2012
I know there is a disadvantage Concerning this issue being discussed but come to think it. This issue is also sth on my mind but iVe come to conclusion that the Child wil suffer for it. So the best bet is to edit the marriage vows to make both partie be free. The word free is needed by all and commitment has just losed its Value owing to the insufficient want of Human. So i wil say this, if you cant be committed in marriage let ur spouse know the basis of the martrimony. Personaly God was'nt stupid when he created woman for a man. Op when you have become of age & you have met a real woman that wil complete you,then you wil understand y your opinion at this time isnt the best. I know i also think like u atimes but reality is meeting that woman of ur desire is out there but wil you know when you have found her?. You can only know this when u ve discovered what you truly need in life.

CrimeRe: Family Friend Kidnapped & The Family Is Poor by etchel(m): 3:10pm On Jun 19, 2012
When i was younger in Benin City during my primary school days. Similar even occur, this time they got info that we had lots of tuber of yams. So they kidnapped my cousine & demanded that we settle with all the tubers of yam. It was 2 dozen tho n they collected alot of meat & fishes frm our stew n soup. They then release our cousine. The police came when my cousine was out of d kidnappers custody. That was my 1st time to see a police pistol silver type & i was happy they kidnapped my cousine. Its laughable now but back then our heart were on our lips.
