ProgrammingRe: Why Waste 4 Years On Computer Science In University? by hotwax: 7:40am On Sep 10, 2013
p.josh:
I am not saying studyin com.sci is bad,ii am jst saying is a waste of time.For example, if u do not study medicine or law ,u can never be a doctor or lawyer.A simple webdeveloper do not need all what u've mentioned above to create a website, but some pple still call him a computer scientist .
Don't knw if u understand what i am sayng?
Only an illiterate will call a web developer a computer scientist. Computer science is not about website design. Are you telling me knowing how to use microsoft word makes you a computer scientist?

We still have many computer illiterates in Nigeria. Its funny people don't know about computer science.

Courses in Computer includes.

Expert System/Artificial Intelligence
Telecommunication
SOftware Engineering
Robotics/Human Computer Interface
Computer Electronics
Database Management
Programming
IT management
Network security
Parallel Processing
Modelling and Simulation.


I am 90% sure that most Nigerian graduates don't pass through many of these courses in the university. Now somebody is saying you dont need university education.

Computer Science is the widest field on earth. Computer science is not a course per say. It should be a faculty on its own.

In summary, being a web developer doesnt mean you are a programmer, being a programmer doesnt make you a computer scientist.

Webdevelopment is an aspect of application programming. Programming itself is too wide. If you know what programming is, you will ashamed of calling yourself a programmer because you will later found out you are a user.

This is scenario.

You are a webdeveloper. You use VB.NET.

VB.NET is invented by a programmer and is compilled by a compiler (an engine in Visual Studio).
The compiler itself was written by programmer using VB6 and C++
A programmer also developed VB6 using Pascal and C++
A Programmer also developed pascal using C-lang
A programmer also created C-lang using Assemble Language
A programmer also created Assemble Language using Machine Language
Somebody invented zero's and one.

At the end of the day, the web developer doesnt know anything about what he is using. He is just an end user.

That is why we have america/oyinbos as world power and we are still slaves because we all want to develop website and not going into computer science

boyroy02: My point is i don't have to have a flair for mechanical Eng but wit my cert i can still get a good Job anywhere, while for computers i. Don't need to have a cert 4 it but can still prove my self anywere dat requires d services of a comp scienctist dat i am up to d task. Road side mechanics can't carry a good conversations on mechnics or how an engine works correctly, dey even barely knw d correct names of d parts of an Engine, i can explain how an Engine works nd name parts etc cause am studing it, but i don't need to srudy computer science to be able to explain how a computer works or programmes work in it.
You can prove yourself when anybody needs a programmer to pay 5,000 naira to write a website.

But no company will employ you when a need a computer scientist. Have you see a company employing a SSCE computer scientist?
They all say minimum of first degree.

I can call on a road side mechanic to repair my car. But when Shell/Chevron want to employ mechanical engineer, they wont go and call the road side mechanic, they will call a corporate/educated mechanic (a degree holder).

Computer science is more than programming. Programming is just an aspect. They can't call a road side web designer to manage a company IT department. That requires education.

You people are missing the point. There is a difference between education and skill. My brother knows how to prescribe drugs, but he didnt study medcine, he was just an apprentice of one nursing center.
ProgrammingRe: Why Waste 4 Years On Computer Science In University? by hotwax: 7:14pm On Sep 09, 2013
So we can say: there is no need to study mechanical engineering in school because we have road side mechanics. We don't need civil engineering because we already have bricklayers. And when big companies are looking computer science graduates, go and tell them you are a programmer. Or you think the degree is a joke?

If you call yourself programmer and can't write Clang, assembly, then you a user too. We african developers left Clang and assembly to the oyinbos. That's why we are still backward. All we shout is web design, php. Shaking my head for race of mediocres. No wonder someone claimed you don't need university education. They though university is about web-design. Can you learn artificial intelligence on your own. Who ever is advising must be an illiterate. I'm sorry to say. There is no difference between knowing how to use corel draw and knowing how to design web. They are both application of computer. They are still products of computer scientist.

M going into school soon and I ain't studying com sci..but I can tell u here n nw dat sum programming languages DONT NEED KNOWLEDGE IN SCIENCE... It just needs ur brain n ability to comprehend... U can do without comp.sci
you can pick some on your own. Yet will never know how computer works. Knowing how to program php or html does not make you a programmer. These php and html were developed by computer scientist to make it possible for farmers/illiterate write program. Even if iyaloja take html, she will write it. That's the aim of computer scientist. For example I invented a programming language as my final year student. Remember a software is responsible for compiling/interp
Reting your HTML codes. That's why Nigerians are still backward technologically. We will never produce anything in this generation when somebody thinks he doesn't need to go attend university to be a computer scientist. You claimed you are a programmer, yet you can't interprete a finite insomata. Being able to pick java and write it doesn't mean you have contributed anything to tech. World. You are still like your users. You are all users. You are an ap

Insurance is not magic. Mansard has to do some forms of Investigations and loss adjustments, e.t.c.

They cant just rush to pay you money. I can not blame them.

Most people dont know how insurance operates.
BusinessRe: The Best Insurance Company In Nigeria by hotwax: 4:28pm On Sep 05, 2013
Mansard is a new Insurance Company that has not withstood test of time, Economic melt down.

We have stable Insurance Companies like Leadway, AIICo, IGI.

I heard AIICO is 50 years old. They have the largest Insurance Portfolio and the leading Insurance in Nigeria.

Better be advised on how to pick a good Insurance company.

ТОS-1A Russian 24-barrel multiple rocket launcher

When Western forces engage the Syrian army you can be assured that it will be nothing like the 1991 conflict in Iraq when a hundred thousand of Saddam Hussein’s soldiers surrendered without firing a shot. Nor will it be a no-fly zone free-for-all where air forces will be able to target military assets as they did in Libya without being challenged. No, this time will be different. Russia supplied Syria with state-of-the-art 24-Barrell rocket launchers ranked as the most developed artillery weapon of its kind. Syria is armed with Russian weapons that have never been seen before in the Middle East including computer guided smart missiles that never miss their target. Russia also supplied Syria with Skean 5 ground-to-sea missiles that are capable of hitting and sinking any target up to 250 km off the Syrian coast.
This is nothing compared to American technologies.

Israel can even handle this.

I guess you have not seen any american weapon before. America is the greatest world power to ever existed. Greater than Rome. A single drone can handle this rocket luncher.
Foreign AffairsRe: Syria Prepares For U.S. Attack by hotwax: 8:19am On Sep 05, 2013
I am a fan of America, but I do not support them on this.
Syria government is a friend of the west.

Christians are living in Syria peacefully. Now US want to destroy Assad and arm alqaida. This does not make any sense.

I guess Illuminatis have a reason for this

10 million is too much for felaini. Chelsea wanted to pay 8m last season but chelsea don't need him that's why they dropped him. Oscar will disgrace the guy.
ComputersRe: Opera Vs Mozilla Vs Google Chrome: Which Is The Fastest Web Browser? by hotwax: 6:55am On Sep 02, 2013
Google chrome is the fastest. But I will vote for firefox. Why? Chrome is achieving its speed crookedly. For each tab you open, chrome loads a dedicated chrome exec module in the memory. That's why a system running chromes have tendencies of having low memory issues. Just know that for each link you open a tab, chrome opens another instance for it.To validate my point, open 3 tabs on chrome and check you process/task mamanger. Check you process list. You will see 4 instances of chrome working on your system. Firefox comes second in speed, but its memory usage is superb. Its strictly using windows socket.

Why is US always looking for help aka "NATO" or "Allies" before going to war?
america goes to NATO because of Finance. No country can humiliate america. No country. But I don't support america attacking assad. Alqaida will be enthroned. Assad is better than alqaaeda. With assad, christians are living peacefully. If america tip the scale of balance, alqaeda will waste these christians. We all saw what muslim brotherhood intended to do in Egypt. Now Egyptians have learned that hossnie mubarak is not their enemy. They have released him. Libya too was a western mistake. Alqaed are ruling in Libya and its not good for Africa. That is why they are disturbinng Mali and algeria. Alqaida are becoming powerful. I see alqaeda mobilizing nations to war in the future.

write2obi: U mean you where impressed with their behind the ball tactics, how can Bayern win when Chelsea where playing 11 men behind the ball?
Bayern keeper was in the centre of the pitch for majority of the game.
so u mean chelsea should open the defence for bayern free of charge? When has FIFA categorize defend as foul? Defending is part of football. Do what you know how to do best. They won with penalty. Anybody can win that. Our goal chances are even clearer. Yes we lost, but we are proud. We did not got trashed.

no I am just proud they were not disgraced like barca. 4-0, 3-0. Chelsea did not get trashed. They nearly won but were until last 2 second. You can be happy now that we loose the cup. But we r becoming a force. We can boast of holding bayern munic to a draw if not for penalty. We are still competing and our youthful team getting better. We have the youngest team in the world. It means we are the future. LOL. Its just super cup. We still have EPL, UCL, FA and many more.

There's nothing special about mourinho also, he talks too much
no the point is they lost with penalty. They didn't loose 7:0 like baRca. When it comes to penalty, somebody has to make mistake the other team to win.

dayokanu: Has any team succesfuly defended the champions League? So why should Bayern be the first to do so?

Before going down 10 men There was no difference, Bayern bossed Chelsea throughout. from the blast of the whistle outpossesed and outshot chelsea all through. Mou is such a negative styled coach thats why he was owned repeatedly by Pep go back to Rafa Benitez

In pre season Madrid already molested this Mourinho team, last Monday he deployed the most negative tactics ever seen to avoid a loss to Man Utd. This is a 500m team thats playing like Stoke City

Chelsea, and their managers are a disgrace to football
I am a chelsea fan. It painful we lost that cup. But I know those guys will feel good. Sincerely, before the game I thought chelsea stands no chance. I though it would be 4:0 judging by Barca 7-0 saga. But these guys surprized us and even you. Its not about the cup. Its about the fact that chelsea is becoming a force. What do you expect barca fans to say? All our shots on target were horrible miss, hit the pole or keeper save. Bayern were just shooting out of the goal post off target. Because we are the most hated club in the world, you can't give us credit even though you knew. Yes we feel sad for loosing the cup. Yes everybody will feel the same. Nobody wants to loose a cup final. However, chelsea has thought the world how to beat bayern. We taught the world how to beat barca. Now nobody respect barca any more. There positives in this match fo chelsea. Chelsea is getting better. Bayern are having problems. Something is wrong with Bayern. This is not the same bayern that beat barca won champ
Ions league. They somehow slow. I expected more from them.

dayokanu: Everytime Chelsea plays Bayern they always park the bus like cowards

There is a 500m squad and they should have more balls than to be playing like freaking Stoke City with everyone behind the ball

Willian and Etoo? As long as you dont field 14 players Bayern would always murder you

Wait till Schweinsteiger and Thiago come back from injury

The worst Champions league final was played by this same Chelsea.

You can go to school you cant buy class Thats why Chelsea would never be a great team like Madrid, Barca, Bayern etc
who is arguing with this guy? He knows in his mind chelsea did well. I was expecting bayern to kill chelsea with not less than 4 goals. The same team gave !arca 7 0. Kudos to 10 men chelsea jor. Aba, penalty is a game of luck. Chelsea defended and yet they scored 2 superb goals and bayern only need 2 seconds extra time to net back. I now have confidence in this team. They are young and skillful. See what oscar did with ribbery europian best. Hey watch out for chelsea. I'm proude of them, I was surprised, no 7-0. Haters can go hate. We are still competing in UCL, EPL. Sky is the limit.

Chemical weapon is not what you can get easily in the market.

I have two theories.

1. Assad used it
2. USA gave it to the Rebels to create sympathy.

Whichever one, the 2 side are to be blamed for everything.

Egyptian people said they dont want Husnie Mubarak, he stepped aside.
What is wrong with Assad?

Majority of Syrians are Sunnis. They said he should go, why murdering millions of people just to keep power after 40 years. Na only him dey Syria?

Rebels too- Must you go to that extent to waste your people's life because of Assad? Where is Fidel Castro now?
No long thing. Time is powerful than bomb.

Anyways, I suggest UN embark on peace keeping.

Let Assad step down and face ICC. Alqaida/rebels dispersed and disarmed. And let rebel leaders face ICC. ASSAD=Rebel Leaders. They are both killers.
