The NUC one is embarrasing.

What destroys technology is its abuse. Once its abuse, the main propose is useless.

When you browse using IE, activex controls are enabled by default, which means any site that has a activex based malicious script can automatically be installed into your hard-disk.

The embedding of ActiveX into the Internet Explorer web browser created a combination of functions that has led to an explosion of computer virus, trojan and spyware infections. These malware attacks mostly depend on ActiveX for their activation and propagation to other computers. Microsoft recognized the problem with ActiveX as far back as 1996 when Charles Fitzgerald, program manager of Microsoft's Java team said "If you want security on the 'Net', unplug your computer. ... We never made the claim up front that ActiveX is intrinsically secure." [1] ActiveX as it is currently implemented is intrinsically insecure and is the biggest weakness of Internet Explorer not addressed by Internet Explorer Service Pack 2.

hope you undertand.

Hmm i think he has, under the Nigerian diplomatic immunity. That is for all those that are protected due to the status of being a Nigerian Diplomat. As the president of the Nigerian government he has the power to revoke any immunity under his jurisprudence.

@IAH, I guess you have not been attacked by spywares yet. Besides, having explored the tab browsing capabilities of other browsers. Well I used to be crazy about IE too, till i discovered linux some years back, and since then, I have been a loyal user of firefox or Mozilla.

Piracy? hmm there is piracy even in the US and other developed world? Its even higher there compare to anywhere in the world, because of their high speed networks and awareness. I really didnt get that part.

Do you allow your emotions to control your decision making?

Exactly nobody is. That is Nigerians for you.

Cos you can't use it? kidding

Hmm just the interface? This search results are not in yoruba. yahoo.ng Yahoo hasnt even gone to South Africa

But honestly Univerisities just prepare your mindset and culture of doing what you do?

The job atmosphere is totally different in terms of applying, what you learnt in the University. So what are we saying. Why do we need a degree? To get a Job? or To be Respected? or even To be matured and ready for the real world? I think it really depends.

Yes There should be a continuity of that craze. I am not crazy, but I do encourage Nigerians to be.

Thumbs up to your post klex. Good points raised. I really am confused most of the time, when it comes to accusations in Nigerian Politics. I still have never gotten the answer to some questions I always ask if given the opportunity, especially when it comes to Nigerian current political situation.

The question is :-
Is Obasanjo not guilty of corruption?
Is he a good President?
Are we supporting him, because he is doing a good job or because he is dealing with those that offend him?

Don't challenge people.

Making a difference in other people's lives. Especially Nigerians.

Its the Nigerian customs !!. Everybody is doing fine there . Poor Atiku, he should have stayed on his own jeje, and maintain his empire of ill gotten gains. Well as Imnakoya said, he deserves to be dealt with, if he is guilty. I second that. But Why is he the scapegoat, this time? What did he do to Uncle Sege?

besides isnt it mortgage, i am seeing?

02278403 99201755 9731 SORREL AVE SUNTRUST MORTGAGE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE

Or was i mistaken?

Have Nigerians even taught about the possibility that it was mortgaged, and wasnt bought in cash?

hehehe funny, I remembered the Nigerian postcode project, when we had to convert all the Nigerian postcodes to XML format. We had people who promised to contribute, but once we began, only 3 people or so actually did the work, I inclusive. Well Nigerians sha, keep talking sweet like you always do!!

hmm true, but we shouldnt encourage it . I would finish my degree, because the country I come from, makes it a must for people like me, besides the fact that if you want to marry an educated Nigerian lady, one of the pre-requisite is a university degree.

Thanks I really do appreciate it .

Every single one of them in Abuja, has skeletons in their closets. So what the hec? Is Atiku now the scapegoat? thats the question ? if yes. Who is next?

Hacking forums? Interesting Didnt know they still exist. Ah i did actually maintained a war driving group in orkut before. Hmm just rememberd . Went to check, and discovered that I had 92 members and it was called war chalking. Dem how forgetful, I am. Well warchalking is the practice of marking a series of symbols on sidewalks and walls to indicate nearby wireless access.

That way, other computer users can pop open their laptops and connect to the Internet wirelessly. It was inspired by the practice of hobos during the Great Depression to use chalk marks to indicate which homes were friendly.so this is for anyone who is interested in participating in making a kind of directory for free wireless access points in his area or district.

If you have an orkut account, you could check it out at http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=80714 . Hacking Forum's are full of "script kids", keep away from them. Just my 2 cents worth.

lolz war driving? when you say war driving all I can visualize is people looking for unsecured free wi-fi access zones, by driving around a city, marking the zones on their maps, which is later distributed in bbs, forums or a website.

Get started, and lets see how many people would actually get involved and dedicate their time , besides talent Kai Nigerians !!

Seun said it all. Advices sometimes when it comes to family matters, from here can be a little bit tricky especially from people that have not been matured yet not to even talk of going into the realms of marriage. Get a professional advice. thats all i got to say. Peace.

hehe ok i hear you o. From today on, you need to make a vow. No more visiting p2p networks, No more buying pirated CDs etc.

I read an article once, that those that frequent p2p networks are those that actually buy the originals, the problem there is that they seem not to get enough , as in restricted by their purse, so they look for alternatives. And thats how piracy came into place, someone buys a specific movie or whatever and shares it, Then another person downloads and also shares what he bought. And the circle goes on and on.

Piracy rocks.

WHat are the Nigerian professors in different languages doing? Eating pounded yam and egusi soup, i suppose . Nothing comes easy my lady .Even trying to understand the white man's language, sometimes can be a headache.

I think nobody is saying everything should be transformed, all we are trying to say is that we should promote it either by speaking or by way of expression when we get the chance to do that. Isnt it pathetic, when you visit a yoruba home, and all you hear is "How are you" instead of "Bawoni" or "se da da lowa"? or even in the slangish way, "Se owa kpa" etc?

And i think Nigerians do study enough english in school, and thats more of it.

If you understand the art of social engineering, phising, cracking, or even hacking. You would understand why they do what they do. To some its passion, to some its curiousity, to some its just the fame, and to many its a way to prove they are in control.

So its more of the, should i say? way of showing their talents?

this is an old school way of tribalism, and its still alive and still widely practised. it is as simple as it is, parents of any tribe in Nigeria wouldnt like the idea of their children marrying from another tribe, but then with understanding and with the current trends of things, some of those tribalism practices or issues have died down, and there have been  more acceptability. Its more of exposure and getting the right education, and embracing whatever choice your child make.

And I am very sure, that if a thread was to began on marrying outside one's tribe, a lot of Nairalanders would not support the motive. I still recollect the response on the Marrying outside ones religion thread. And the response there, speak's for itself.

I think this problem can only be solved if they bring in people that their parents might respect so much and would probably listen too, to settle the matter in a parent by parent way. Besides that i don't think it is a good idea to go ahead, parents would always mean a lot in their lives, and besides for the fact that, their children would ask later on, where is grandpa, where is grandma?
What would they tell them? they wouldnt want to lie?

One of my cousin was in the same predicament, (she married a Edo guy) but everything eventually had a happy ending, although she was disown for a year,b for getting pregnant and for the fact that the guy was not yoruba, but thats a different issue entirely. They problem was solved, when some respected individual was invited to the matter.

Mind you their parents would never listen to them, if it is just them trying to sort things out. Thats parents , when they are right, they are always right!!

hum well i think they didnt hack the site with a motive, they are just some vunerability analyst hackers.

Well I think they should alway update their server softwares, because I think they shouldnt have much problem with security for the fact that they are using a Unix server.

Just curious? Why question the rich guy? He wasn't in the government when he supposedly made all the money?

Yorubanglish hmmm..........
