ComputersRe: Vista Versus Xp by Ivvie: 1:48am On Dec 26, 2007
[quote author=tope_teadr link=topic=101176.msg1795134#msg1795134 date=1198623144]And guys, stop spitting crap. Windows 98 ain't beta dan xp. Only that 98 is rugged and durable.
But xp is the don of microsoft.

And guys for u to xperience a pleasurable time wit your pc, just upgrade from win 98se to 'ME' then to '2000' then to 'XP'.
The last time my system crashed was 4 years ago. * no listen to wetin him dey talk oh!, na lie him don 4mat nd reload him system 3 times this mth.*[/quote]The stable of all is Windows 2000. It's only slower than XP. That is why companies still stick to it. Sure enough, it's coming of age but it's the ideal IT OS.

I disagree with u guys , i bought a toshiba satellite pro m200 e452, and its running on window visa business

its great man ,
It depends on what your definition of great is. IT's and a hundred and fifty million americans cannot be wrong. I am yet to meet a person physically that appreciates Vista (even the novice). Wait till you start having system errors or instability and a change of opinion would be considered.
AutosRe: How Fast Can U Go? by Ivvie: 10:06pm On Dec 23, 2007
How fast can one go?!

Understanding your vehicle and its momentum is the initial key. Speed doesn't necessarily mean you are going fast and save time. Dragging isn't reality.

This is where the misunderstanding comes in. I am not saying i can't do it. All im saying isi is it safe with that size of tyre. I may say i am the no1 fan of fast driving in this place hon.
If you don't understand what i am saying, just ask for more explanation and i will give. but not by u dissing. JUst in case, my engine ain't lazy. IT does 125km/h everyday. Just trying to know if the tyre is safe. I just bought new ones though and i don't want to be tempted to commit suicide. MERRY XMAS HON
My bad!!!  I am sorry.  Was just trying to be helpful. Post was reflectively conclusive.

The car is safe, even if it was designed to roll on bicycle wheels.  You can't be better opinionated than the design engineers that prototyped it lest you should be working there (no insult).  Whatever was fitted by the manufacturer is optimised with least amount of trade-offs.

Peace.

This is control systems.  In '99, Brabus computerised a 140 that could self-drive a lot of programming and user inputs were in place.

I don't know your definition of appeal but the 2007 Camry is one of the ugliest cars on the road today besides the 300C. Also, it's the cheapest Camry ever built, plastic everywhere.

i ll not take everyones opinion as a kill for it,,,
i think maybe lookin on the bright side vista's cool


if u can run it, then u no it runs programs faster than XP,
its quite smart in its decisions giving u better options than Xp does,


everybody complains of compatibility,, but Vista's backward compatibility option is far more effective than that of XP,,

and lets not forget that people once said that Win98 waz better than XP,,,

why not letz give it a chance!!!
Have you run Vista or currently a user?! I doubt you are - saying Vista is faster than XP. It's complicated, a hog in resources and a categorical nonsense from an OS point of view. I downgraded to XP and for a notebook with a 3600 FSB, it's blazing fast. You need a powerful machine to run Vista and most computers aren't Vista ready. Worse, programs designated for Vista only sometimes give you the error message that program isn't compatible with XP but Vista. Meaning, a coated XP! The best to date is Windows 2000 but many aren't savvy enough to handle the 2000 NT. May not be as fast but stable.

Windows 98 2nd Edition is better than XP. XP is based on Windows 2000 NT technology and multimedia biased. I am yet to find a major corporation running on XP. It's Windows 2000. This is due to stability and security. Exxon partly runs on Windows 98 Corporate and recently switched to Windows 2000.

Try running mechanical analysis/simulations on Vista. You'd experience frequent screen of deaths (if vista ready).

If 'RAM emulators' could work in place of memory,
they would be bundled with every new computer.
The principle in life is that you cannot give what you don't have. Would the emulator hold virtual memory or page to disc? In my opinion, you are only deceiving yourself and not the PC because you have no resource to offer but a false RAM figure.

Dennis, stop dulling angry
Don't tell me u don't know how to do that . . ? angry cool
The system may start responding slowly, taking longer to boot
Items may be disabled. . .

To control it, download Process Explorer . . .
Trace strange processes and suspend them . . .
Locate the files and get rid of them  shocked sad smiley

re-enable some items using group policy or mess with the registry a bit cheesy

your system will be up and running, but expect more viruses and/or spyware . . .

If u no want, start using Ubuntu! cheesy grin angry shocked cool huh tongue embarassed lipsrsealed undecided cry
Your method may work if the virus isn't a malicious type. The ones that will delete your system files and impessonate system files, kernels and dlls and then system locking themselves will habitate undisturbed. At this point, you might as well do a clean install because running a virus scan will detect and eliminate most of it with a price. You shut the system down and you cannot boot it back because most kernels would have been cleaned.
ComputersRe: Intel Centrino,intel Celeron,core Duo,core 2 Duo Architecture by Ivvie: 8:11pm On Dec 21, 2007
ramonmulti:
well, core 2 Duo Architecture is the latest technology. it is very nice but it normally comes with window vista as the operating system. i will advise u to use this Intel Centrino.
Intel Quad is the latest. Mainly used for multimedia PC's.

Celeron is an apology and would deteriorate in about a year to a year and a half (if you are performance minded). Core 2 due is 2 processors with two fsb; same as quad but with 4. Quad runs cooler and handles task briskly.

Nothing beats AMD live. Raw power and it doesn't age in performance.

ComputersRe: Toshiba + Vista Is A Mess by Ivvie: 7:58pm On Dec 21, 2007
Vista plus anything is a mess.

Have an HP DV series. I downgraded the second time I plugged it in to the power source with my HP boot disc for my desktop. It runs so faster than what was preloaded but I believe the laptop is poorly designed.

Well, there is good news. Microsoft has admitted to Vista being a mistake and they will assist you in downgrading to XP but you'll have to prove that you have a valid Vista copy. As for your Audio, you need the name of the audio device fitted and the model ID/number and type, then look for the drivers. Might Microsoft High Definition Coxenant.

Who knows were to get a RAM emulator. My windows vista will not install unless it has 512MB of RAM. I only have 234MB of RAM. I here there is a RAM Emulator software so that I don't have to bye a new PC. Seun, please, this is not a crack or illegal software even Microsoft has emulators eg. Windows Compatibility Toolkit !!! grin
I can't believe this. Vista barely runs barely 512. Get some RAM. It isn't expensive. I want to believe you are running a Pentium IV or lower. Processors after this required 512 and higher to match FSB and processing pattern.
ComputersRe: Help Needed With Fresh Windows Installation by Ivvie: 7:44pm On Dec 21, 2007
Re do your installation. Your copy of Windows might be corrupt or sectors of your CD might not be readable that's why it can't copy. Clean the disc or use a scratch removal hardware.

Vista is a complete apology. If you are keeping to details, you'd discover that Vista is microsoft's biggest loss. If you are into Operating Systems, you'd clearly understand that Vista is XP in a fancy looking dress.
CultureRe: Why Are Nigerians So Abusive And Insulting? by Ivvie: 7:26pm On Dec 21, 2007
BigSis:
Left,

You are absolutely right in your assessment. I use to wonder why Nigerians behave the way they did, i.e. tactless, crass, rude, abrasive, overbearing, etc. Then I went to Nigeria. I understood. The society is a harsh place.

Once I witnessed a bus stop to pick up passenger, and the adult pushed children to the pavement in order to get a seat. Now this is the sort of treatment little children get. So what do you think will become of the little children?
I guess you answered the entire post.

All single cam benzes have 2 plugs to a cylinder. This is due to tougher emmision laws and budget mising.

Somebody needs to explain where the extra $38,000 came from [6700000/115 = $58260.9]

Me Sir, Me sir,

Somebody told me that Nigerians have more money than sense, and anyway it's all stolen money and that the ground in Lagos is paved with oil.

But seriously isn't 100% profit the norn in Lagos, especially when selling imaginary products.
Who in his right mind will burn almost $40000 on a car with has been technology and light weight? This is nothing but a reason for inflation. If 100% profit is the normality in Lagos, then Nigerians need to start changing the way they think. $60,000 for a Honda!!! Car dealing redefined!

Somebody needs to explain where the extra $38,000 came from [6700000/115 = $58260.9]. Cost more than an E350. Cars in Nigeria aren't this expensive. That Honda is not what is currently in production either.
AutosRe: 2001 Altima: Guys Is This Car Cool for 1.1 Million? by Ivvie: 8:43pm On Dec 19, 2007
klassyguy:
before u buy the car make a note of the following:

mileage - usually i don't go for a car which is above 150,000km, and that is pushing it.

make sure there are no rust anywhere on the car.

check the engine condition.

or better still, i'll send u a manual about what to look after when buying used cars if u give me your email addy.
Mileages could be rolled back. There is no certainty in it. Strain on the chasssis will tell you a lot about the vehicle. Consider rust and ask for maintenance record. Never buy a car without a maintenance record.

To be honest, candidate 2 is a mess.  4 years - in and out of 5 different jobs! 

School doesn't teach you what you need for industry standards.  No organisations/affliliations makes you a bad candidate for what you worth.  Candidate 1 stands higher.  You should spend at least 2 years before switching jobs.

@Kuntash and D007

The car wasn't painted. It was well taken care of. There isn't strain on the vehicle shell meaning it wasn't frequently used on the highway or raced/driven at high speed. At high speed, you put a lot of stress/strain on a vehicle. That is where the shell deformation begins.
