why not wait till marriage? why give it out free of charge?

thats my kind of girl. i love dancing, so my wife must be a good dancer

because i need to master it to do a certain project

who am i?

i can see, i have eyes.

whtas evolution?

what is love?
love is anything you like doing from time to time. it comes from within and part of you.
taking about love in a relationship. anybody can love anybody. age is not a barrrier. however, not all relationship are because the couple really love one another. many, it coulud be due to wealth, sex, fame, e.t.c. you can have the best love when you and your spouse do things in common. this can best work when two of you are age mates. however, age mates often date for some of the following reasons
1) the girls are exposed to sexual life/relationship by older guys than their male counterparts
2) girls are due for marriage when most guys are still trying to find their feet.
3) men when they are ready to settle down preffers the younger ones because their body are still freash and everything standing than girls of their age mates whoses body would have shrinkled.
4) young girls prefers older guys because they are better on bed since they are more experienced than the younger ones who can not give them that level of estacy.
5) older women preffers younger men because most of their male counterparts are already married and have settled down. thus , they lure the younger ones with money, e.t.c. if not for marriage purposes, to have regular dosage of, at least body no be firewood

need somebody who is good in active x technology

we have just three years to go and many nigerians are not aware that their television would soon not have the capabilty to receive television signals from our tv stations unless they have top set box or their tv has internal inbuilt digital tuners. many people still rush to by these outdated televison setbox without proper education. what is NBC and other agencies doing to enligthing nigerains so that many will not be caugth unaware?[color=#770077][/color]

@ all
biomedical engineering and , any course is possible in nigeria. all it takes is for the policy makers to sit down and vote in favour of the establishment of such department. think of it. many years ago during my own days as a jambite, there are no courses such as system eng. and gas eng (in unilag), software eng, information technology (as offered by some private university), e.t.c. courses evolve from other courses with time. mech and electrical came from civil eng. electronics eng. came from electrical eng. computer eng from electronics, chemical from mech eng, petroleum eng from chemical eng, gas eng from petroleum eng e.t.c.
i think the problem with nigeria is that we are too rigid in our educational structure, course developement and curriculum review. the lecture notes delivered to our present leaders in the educational sectors (profs and phd's) prevails to date. newer thories and inventions are not been re introduced into our university curriculums.take in the areas of programming. basic prog. lang which makes use of character users interface still predominates in the teaching of programming lang in most of our higher institutions. thanks to the solo efforts of some private universties that tends to teach their students in more recent prog. lang and makes them more fit for present real life usage thus making them more marketable.
unless we have a more liberal university, things migth continue like this for a long time.

it is our country that is to be blamed. even many student who are brilliant and are not ready to succumm are victimised. so there should be a check and balance in our school systems

why do we need a flash memory? we have not even used half of the power of currently available memory

i graduated from lasu. i can tell you that the standard is there. me myself downgraded the school b/4 but you need to go in and see 4 yourself

flash and other storage devices sucah as hard disk diskette can be use as memory. this is what is reffered toa s virtual memory in computing

what are the great coding available out there?

who are the bodies responsible for accreditations of computing in nigeria?

what are the new features in autocad 2010?

i need someone who is good in active x programming/ control. pls mail me at lekside44@yahoo.co.uk thanks

can anybody give me links to such sites?

@goodboybad
well, i pitied your conditions just as i does for every young and aspiring nigerian child. nigeria is blessed with youths who are creative and intriguing in mind. as a kid, you said you had to destroy a lot of electronics to see their working principles. i aslo did the same. i combine my knowlegde of physics then with little knowlegde of electronics then to make my own radio staion which i used in transmitting and receiving with other radios nearby. this was a remarkable feat for me since it was in my preuniversity days and i had not attended an electronic class for once then and used this little knowledge to sit for the exam at sch cert level and comes out with 3.
you are in a good position since you came out with 2.1. if you are still intesrested designing things from the scrath, go for your masters and enters the lecturing proffesion.you can work more on your concept of Microcontrollers, and how they can make a lot of things simple and elegants. this you can impact to the next coming generations of engineers. as for our industries, many engages foreign companies in the design and installations of their electronics, or some just buys these foreign products and asked their inhouse engineers to install it. there are litttle industries that offers chanlanges to our indeginous engineers. this was what initially prompted me to say engineers are not needed in this country when i joined this thread. the challanges offers to engineers are getting smaller as more components are been transformed from been an analog to a digital one. children of today may learn notting today openning the back of electronics as we did in our own time. since every thing is going digital, this means that they are programmable and learnning software eng. could rally be useful. as with autocad, it is good you learn it. it cuold fetch you some extra cash from time to time. i do make some money trainning and consulting in autocad. so you have a world of oppurtunity b/4 you.

naturally, these centres consitutes the copy rigths infrigiments of dstv and hitv. how ever, this is a country where there is a lot of poverty. we just have to allow this to make the poor also have a sence of belongings. i remember some years ago when this centres had not been, a fast food joint meant for maximum of about 15 people was beiseged by more than 2000 people. at first when thse people first stared comming, the resturance first taugth it was a good marketing day since almost every body boutgh at least a bottle of soft drink, but when the number exploded, the ownwer of the place invited the police. however, the police can do little since they claim to be their custommer and that was it. from then, the fast food banned their workers from turnning the decoders to stations showing sports.
these centres explosion did not really change the pressure. i remembered how i suffered watching the second round and quater final macthes of the current chaps. legue just because i intend watching about 2 to 3 matches together live. despite paying very high amount, i could hardly see the tv. people were so much that some were even beating up for not standing properly.

i will explain as it applies to engineering which i know very well and conversant with their syllbus\course outline,
a graduate of university in the engineering field has underdone a different curriculum trainning from that which comes out from the polytechnic. according to the NSE and COREN, these are the classifications/ qualifications
1, engineer, bsc and above
2, technologist, hnd
3, technician, ond
4, craftmen, nabtech, waec tech and other techical cert.
5, artician, practitionls who have learnt the trade with many years of experience
everybody has its own job to do in the field of engineering.
in western world, this disparity does not exist because the need of everybodies job is specified.
an engineer designs, and most cases supervies a project. they also uses time study and work study to increase production, reduces cost and thus are more of management in the eng field. they also discover new methods of achieving the same goal or attaining a better goal. a technologist is somebody that understand the current methodlogy. he works based on the engineers specification and supervises the craftmen and technicians. this is the reason why he must have years of experience which is the reason you must do your IT before doing your hnd. a tecnician and craftmen are practical people. they are the people you see on the field of engineering carring out one task or the other.

i throw in the towel, [color=#006600][/color]

how can we make models such as these and which softwares are available out there?

a bit of humor
,
[quote][/quote]to start with, i will still want you to get the differnt between a simulation softwares and drafting softwares called cad. autocad is and still for now a drafting softare. a simulation software basically is a softarre that can change the shape of a object model based on the real life senero if such objects are subjected to certain conditions as it would be in a real life situation.for example, when a force is applied on a can, it deforms in shape. a simulation software could replicateds such senero it the can model in the computer is programmed to react to the force conditions generated in the computer. these they achive using finite element mathematics in which the total geometry of the object is divived into a number of parts and the deformation in each parts is calculated upon and its geometry changed. the more the numbers of subdivisions used in the finite elements, the more realistic the final output is. this is in analogy with the more the number of pixel a digital camera used, the more the clearity.
the a utocad verticals you mentioned such as autocad architecture, autocad mep (mechanical electrical plumbing),autocad civil 3d, autocad electrical e.t.c are just customised autocad softwares with large inbuilt drawing liberaries. consider an autocad mechanical software, this has a predrawn bolt, screws, e.t.c stored in its internal database library. using this specialised softwares saves you a lot of time and effort since you can import these drawings rather than starting from the scracth. the presence of these parts in the internal lib. of these softwares does not makes them really different from the parent software. the only way you can turn autocad into a simulation software is to write a program to change the geometrical shapes  of the known object in accordance with some given funtions or conditions which resembles the real life senaro. the shapes of the object is stored as it changes in diferent frames. this can then be animated and you see a simulation of how the body geometry changes  under the given conditions without even practicalising it. this is how most simulation software works. algor, for example imports drawings from autocad and works upon its geometry from its data inputs to achive simulations. this is the reason why autodesk is bidding for the company.

http://pressreleases.autodesk.com/index.php?s=press_releases&item=510%3C%2Ftd%3E

the magicad building services design series, coade cadworx plant design suite could be a similar software like algor .
even do, i have not used the autocad 2010 edition, i think the product line is moving in the direction of a simulation software. modeling and simulation softwares are not the same, but the collaborates with each other. the image attarched to this writeup is a model drawn with cad drawing softwares such as autocad. it is not a simulation software. it however, an animation video is showing how the shape of this object changes under a condition such as pressure, then it becomes a simulation software. simulation is related to animation. however simulation shows the true life senero of an event while animated shapes may not be an exert replication of the true life senaro.

@ajanlekoko
at page 4 of this thread, you claim to have more than 100,000 volumes of ebooks relating to just about every topic you can imagine and hundreds of physical volumes of as well. thats very good of you. but i will like to ask a question here, why so many volumes?
the truth of the matter is this, we are in the world in which is governed by forces of nature. our aims as engineers, scientists, researchers e.t.c is to study and understand these forces of nature and then applied it to achive our aims. i also have thosands of books which worths close to a million in different diverse aspect of engineering, science, computers/programming and few other econ/business books of interest. the very reasons why people like ajanlekoko and me keeps such large volumes of materials is that we keeps them mostly for referrence purposes. it is really impossible for me to read back to back all the volumes i have. rather, i brows through and read parts that are of much interest.

bawomolo:
lekside44 does make some points, he just needs to condense his posts. too textbookish

@bawomolo
if we can reffers to these during our basic design, how much more for a multimillion/billion dolars projects like space travel. any failure in design could causes wastage in the use of public funds and politically, a motion could be moved to end such projects. this was the almost the faith of nasa when the first apolo spacecraft cut fire and the explosion of the space shuttle few years ago. the failure could maybe due to a simple slack in design for example
1) brigdes collasped in pre world war america due to simple breeze, despite the fact that the forces which acted on this brigdes are notting when compared to the shearing/ yeild stress of the materials used in building these brigdes.reason for the collapse, the natural freq. of the breeze is the same as that of the bridge, resonace occurred and the bridge gave way. since then, brigdes are designed with resonance under consideration.
2)titanic scratches the tips of the icebag and it sank. from the eyewithness point of view, it was calculated that the force of impact the titanic used in impacting the ice is not enough to make the material give way. after futher investigation, it was seen that it was the suphur content in the steel that makes the ship to give way since sulphur makes a steel to be brittle under low temp. which is not observable at room temp.since then, things changes. sulphur were then removed from steels.
the truth is that when we designs, nature do not cares of our ignorant of facts which are not known to us. these phenonenoms were not known to accient engineers and thus can we really blame them for these defects in their designs?
everyday, knowledge is been added to the ones we already know. the limit of it all does not end with what we learn in schools. rather, we should see schools as a trainning ground and a place where we are ushered in into the proffession. knowledge and learnning is a life time thing. every year, theisis are published. this are new secrets of nature which are mearnt to be disgested and implied into new designs. this is one major reasons you are mandated to join your proffessional bodies and subcribes to magazines and journals so that you can be updated as to what is happenning in your fields. this things are not limited to eng alone, medical doctors are also applying new methods into treatments. lets say you are a doctor who grad. 20 years ago. if we know have a new epidemic such as sars virus now which was not known during your school era, will you not go back to your drawing board to learn about it and its possible solutions? sure you will and will not call yourself a book worm. you will analyse these new outbreak using scientific methods. this same thing applies to new discoveries in eng.[color=#006600][/color]

i am a scientist from nigeria. i think i have the prove which will disprove the most famous equation on earth E=MC2. i had discovered this accidentally and wants to publish this hypotesis to the scientific world without my work been stolen from me. i had studied physic just to learn more and be i a very good position to defend my hypotesis. please fellow nigerians, i need advise?
