Science/Technology / Does Sound System Of A Particular Brand Work With DVD Of Another Brand? by foxvilles: 8:43pm On Jan 02, 2018 |
Hello everyone! I have a question! I have a Sony DVD Sound System.....it worked well for like 6 months, not until I travelled and I asked someone to help me keep the house safe ( this was due to the fact that my house was burgled at some point in the past). On returning, I found that the sound system usually stops by itself after working for like 30 minutes, it will switch off or show something like power bla bla bla (cant remember the exact words). It's been long I used it due to the faulty issue, I've tried to fix it but to no avail. I've taken it to different technicians but still not working well. I'm considering buying a new DVD (LG or another brand this time around), but the problem I have is this: DOES Sound System Speaker n Woofer of a particular brand work with another DVD Player of a different make? This is what has been bothering me since! Someone with experience and good knowledge of this should help out. THANKS! |

Car Talk / Mercedes-amg Project One First Look by foxvilles: 8:10pm On Sep 11, 2017 |
For the last several years, Mercedes-AMG has been hard at work on a car that brings Formula 1 technology to the streets. Over the last year, it has endlessly teased uswith little bits of information about the upcoming hypercar. After what feels like forever, though, we finally get our first look at the long-awaited Project One. Mercedes calls this the Project One Showcar, suggesting there might be some changes between what we see here and the car that’s finally delivered to customers. But despite technically being a concept, it looks essentially production-ready. And although the design isn’t quite as out there as the Aston Martin Valkyrie, one look at that gaping front end and roof scoop lets you know the Project One will still be plenty wild. There are hints of the CLK GTR in the design, air intakes that recall current AMG cars like the E63, and a black shark fin that won’t let you forget the Project One’s racing heritage. Out back, a two-stage deployable wing, a massive two-piece diffuser, and a huge central exhaust complete the look. Inside, the cabin is sparse by most standards. Compared to an actual Formula 1 car, though, it’s surprisingly luxurious. There’s seating for two, power windows, an infotainment system, air conditioning, and a small storage space for your phone. The Project One even has space behind the seats for storage—super practical. The seats are covered mostly in microfiber, though there are a few pieces of Nappa leather and a sports mesh that Mercedes says improves air circulation in the seat. But no matter how close to a normal supercar the rest of the cabin looks, there’s no way to miss the F1-inspired steering wheel. The car uses a multilink pushrod suspension with adjustable coil-overs in both the front and rear of the car, which Mercedes says almost completely eliminates body roll while still providing a comfortable on-road ride. The wheels, meanwhile, are center-locking forged aluminum and partially covered in carbon fiber. Mercedes claims they improve airflow and help quickly dissipate heat from the brakes. Up front, the Project One gets 285/35 ZR 19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s, and the rear wheels are wrapped in slightly larger 335/30 ZR 20s. As you might expect, the brakes are AMG carbon ceramics. The real story, though, is the F1-derived hybrid powertrain. Mercedes already revealed most of the relevant details whenit showed off the powertrain earlier this year, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting. The system pairs an electrically turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 with a set of 120-kW electric motors to create a 1,000-hp, all-wheel-drive track monster. Mercedes says the engine’s redline is an incredible 11,000 rpm, while the motors rev all the way to 50,000 rpm. The battery cells and the cell cooling system, meanwhile, are reportedly pulled directly from the F1 car and arranged the same way. There’s just more of them to improve the Project One’s electric range and make it a more usable road car. In fact, it has an all-electric range of more than 15 miles. That’s not enough to challenge theChevrolet Bolt, but it’s still respectable for a hypercar. The engine is also very close to what Mercedes uses in its F1 car, making approximately 700 hp. That power is sent to the rear wheels via a new eight-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted with paddles or driven in automatic mode. And because the turbocharger is electronically assisted, there should be practically no turbo lag. Based on the figures Mercedes has provided, acceleration should be face-meltingly quick. The Project One’s top speed is said to be greater than 217 mph, which is impressive but not mind-blowing. The 0-124-mph time, however, is said to be less than 6 seconds. That’s at least a half-second quicker than the Bugatti Chiron and absolutely insane. Project One makes its official debut at the Frankfurt auto show this week.

SmartyPants: Bro.....I've been reading all comments and waiting for someone to say something brilliant like you did. GEJ brought in SA Mercenary to fight against boko haram. (they didn't come to train our troops). The money spent on imported mercenary is far greater than that spent on training indigenous troop. SA Mercenary were here to do their job and didn't make any impact on the Nigeria Military in terms of skills and technicality of fighting terrorism. Nigerians don't read to comprehend.....we only read so that we might dish out our shallow minded opinions. The training here is to our advantage. The 450 trained Nigerian Air force men can as well train other members of the force who were not privileged to be selected for the training. I'm not a supporter of anyone but its just too disheartening when people only speak to condemn and castigate without evaluating situations at hand. 2 Likes |

Politics / Re: FG To Nigerians: Prevail On Senators To Approve $30bn Loan by foxvilles: 8:46am On Feb 07, 2017 |
The cost of building these proposed railways are very expensive. This is because, railway construction requires huge amounts of iron and steel needed to make the work successful. It will be more reasonable and rational if the said amount to be borrowed has a substantial part in which the Ajaokuta Steel Company will be resuscitated with so as to reduce cost of construction and at the same time create employment. On the long run, the resuscitation of the Ajaokuta Steel Company will also bring about massive developments in various sectors of the economy as production of machineries (cars, engines, buildings etc) requires iron and steel. This will invite auto manufacturers and thereby stimulate the Nigeria Economy. 1 Like |

dmltoyin: Don't turn the table around as you're trying to do. I'm not angry at any religion, but coming to spew something at people's face as facts unchecked by even the person saying it and claiming to be part of that society can make someone outside the society with full knowledge of what's going on or written in their holy books get furious. Say things the way they are, if you're ignorant of it, research it and get full knowledge of it before saying anything. And now you've quickly turned the victim. Like I said before I rarely comment, but sometimes ignorant words can get someone with full knowledge of something to talk with fury. Everything I said, I picked it from your Holy Books. Nothing I said is conflicting. |

dmltoyin: Will you kip kwayet? I love reading comments than making comments myself. This your statement is a blow to your face because as a Muslim k(which I suppose you are), you don't even know the extent to what the Quran contains. Muhammad basically stated that Muslim should kill those opposed to their belief (I don't know if you've read your Hadith). Painting him as a peace lover is trying to deceive what you've read emphatic stated in your Hadith. Muhammad told them to be tolerant with those of other faith for a season or for sometime. I quote him "for sometime" . Except you're a Muslim apologist, you will never see reason to point out errors or fallible text by your prophet and self acclaimed perfect human (my foot). |

Politics / Budget Padding Not Possible Without Connivance Of Executive Arm- Na’abba by foxvilles: 7:21pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Former Speaker, House of Representatives, Mr Ghali Na'Abba, has called for proper investigation of the role played by officials in the executive arm in the current budget padding controversy. Na'Abba made the call while answering questions from Energy Correspondents, at a workshop organised by Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) in Kano. He said it was impossible for the budget to be padded without the connivance of government officials. ``This stealing of funds cannot be possible without active connivance with some members of the executive arm,`` he said. On calls for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara to resign, Na'Abba said that the call was ``unwarranted'' as there was no formal indictment of the speaker. ``According to my understanding, where the issue being referred to as padding comes into play, is a situation where some members go behind and add items of expenditure to what has already been agreed upon. ``For either stealing the funds or doing whatever they feel like doing with it. ``So far, accusations are being traded amongst members of the house, but no investigation has been conducted. ``On the call for the resignation of the Speaker, the question is, what has the Speaker done to warrant his resignation?`` He called for full investigation to ascertain the level of involvement of members of the House mentioned in the allegation before calling on anyone to resign. ``I expect that for 16 years of return to democracy, Nigerians would have understood the responsibilities of the National Assembly. ``For some weeks now, there has been controversy over what is called padding. ``As far as I am concerned, the National Assembly has the responsibility to pass the budget, approve it and allow the executive arm to execute it.'' On whether padding constituted an offence, Na'Abba said, "It all depends on what angle you look at it, I just told you that the responsibility of appropriation belongs to the national assembly. ``If padding is seen as an offence, then it is when some members of the national assembly decide to add items of expenditure through the back door after the bill has been passed by the two legislative arms. ``It therefore behoves on Nigerians to decide who represent them in the national assembly.’’` The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 30 selected Journalists from the Kaduna Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) attended the three-day workshop, designed sharpen their skills in reporting the Oil and Gas sector.(NAN) Source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/budget-padding-not-possible-without-connivance-of-executive-arm-naabba/ Source:
