Programming › Re: Best Laptops & Desktop Computers For Programmers?? by johnstar(m): 12:10am On Jul 14, 2013 |
Seun: Fellow Programmers,
I'm looking to select a computer model to be bought for the programmers I'll be recruiting to work on Nairaland and related online ventures.
Which laptop or desktop model would you recommend?
I'm currently most attracted to the N150k Dell XPS 15 L502X which has a quad core i7 cpu, 8GB RAM, 15" 1080p screen, & backlit keys. The only important feature it lacks is a solid state drive, though it's pretty fast without it. It also lacks portability due to it's bulky size and short battery life, but since it won't be taken out of a computer room, that may not matter.
Other laptop models I've looked at: 15" retina MBP (too expensive at 350k+), HP Envy 14-2160SE with 80GB SSD (mediocre 14" HD screen @140k), 13" Macbook Air with a sweet 900p screen and a SSD (too expensive at 250k), HP Elitebook 8770W with SSD and 17" 1080p screen (too expensive at N250k). HP Folio or Dell XPS 13 with SSD, backlit keys, and great battery life but tiny 13 inch screens and wimpy processors. iMac 21.5 inch which is probably too expensive and may require a UPS.
What do you think about the above laptops & desktop and which models would you love to have as a programmer? anaye, laptop na laptop, buy any1 wey ur money reach  |

Food › Re: Guys Who Claim They Are Wonderful Cooks- See Your Handwork! by johnstar(m): 6:16pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
DailyNews: I am boiling inside as I type this. I had been served by different female cooks here for long now, and honestly, I have never had any problem with their meals, but for the second time 2 different male cooks prepared my meal, I didn't eat 10% of the meal. Not because I like meals prepared by female cooks or whatsoever, but because the handworks of the male cooks were very absurd.
Take a look at the picture I attached, it is a snap shot of fried egg a male cook prepared for me this morning, can u imagine what this guy served me as fried egg? Is this fried or oiled egg pls
If not for mankind, I would have...
The last time, it was indomie that another male cook prepared and it was horrible. I was forced to post this out of anger becos some guys will come here tomorrow claiming to be the best cook in the world, who knows if these very guys serving me shits are also amongst those that brag of their cooking prowees on nairaland.
Just because one or two fortunate guys can cook good food doesn't mean all men can cook. Just becos u were lucky to cook a good soup by chance doesn't make u a wonderful cook pls. Stop poisoning people's stomachs pls and pls.
I have a friend that always brag that he can cook better than any girl, but believe me, whenever I visit him and he prepares a certain meal, for instance, egusi soap or his usual fried rice delicacy, I usually have running stomach because he doesn't even know how to measure each ingredient. Every ingredient is always in excess, and for that, I don't ever dare eat in his house except his fiance is around.
Pls guys, cooking is God's gift to women, forget the fact that modern and western civilisation have spoilt the world and deceived some women to abandon and shy-away from their natural gift, women remain the best cooks the whole world over, so all these male cook champions, pls stop deceiving yourselves and stop poisoning your stomach and other people's stomach.
And to all the ladies dancing and singing around: my boyfriend can cook, my fiance is a good cook, wait until he poisons your stomach with concussion one day, then u will realise the need for u to drive him away from that kitchen.
Nonsense!!!! I'm sure u r a female, try go cook ur own make we see nah, werin self  |

rodeo0070: According to Wiki, torrent file is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol. Meaning? Me self no no! But what I know is Torrent file can be downloaded just like any other file (pictures, movies, music, e-books etc) on the net, only that you need to have a torrent application like Utorrent or bit-torrent etc. The following sites offer torrent downloads: Piratebay.sx Torrenttractor.com and more. If you need the app. Got to 4shared.com and type in "utorrent". Its less than 1MB, I think. Or send me a PM so that I can send it to you and also, give you the step-by-step way to download a torrent file. thanks bro |

[quote author=Erelu_Y] Our baby of the family is returning to Lagos from the UK and the lecturing job on offer pays around ₦130,000 per month. Can a single person used to UK lifestyle survive on this income in today's Lagos? If so, how? She's not extravagant but lives a basic, decent lifestyle: no partying, clubbing, etc, (her only weakness is she likes and does have a nice 4 x 4 which suits Naija's bad roads), just a typical acada girl. Your contributions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.[/quote]make una go village na  , |
