Are you alright at all.... You think it'd everybody here that likes reading tech news??
Wetin dey do all these ICS students sef?

Cant stop laughing Lol..
Been trying to install ubuntu on my system as it's way cool with its GUI and command line but have been having probs with the boot loader, silly me... twas just a li2 thing i omitted or say included that shouldn't v bin there. Finally installed it n enjoying it.
The angry part z Linux is dam.n memory hungry, it's a beast wen it comes to your memory....
Now the funny part z , i went online in search 4 y i shouldn't install linux ..
N i saw some very hilarious comments....


This is a rant. But I'm so angry and frustrated right now
that you're just going to have to live with the rant. And, for
you Linux people, you who know it all and look down upon
the people who don't spend day and night breathing in the
insane arcana of all the little fiddly bits that make up
modern distros, I have this to say: I don't have your kind of
time.
I've had it. I've had it with all the patched together pieces
and parts that all have to be just the right versions, with
just the right dependencies, compiled in just the right way,
during just the right phase of the moon, with just the right
number of people tilting left at just the right time.
I've had it with all the different package managers. With
some code distributed with one package manager and
other code distributed with other package managers. With
modules that can be downloaded on Ubuntu just by typing
the sequence in the anemic how-to, but won't work at all
on CentOS or Fedora, because the repositories weren't
specified in just, exactly, EXACTLY, the right frickin' order
on the third Wednesday of the month.
I've had it with all the different shells and UIs. With builds
and distros that won't even launch into a UI until you've
established a solid SSH connection, downloaded all the
parts, recompiled the package manager, and then -- while
the network connection happens almost like magic -- still
need to completely set up a remote monitor screen by
tweaking yet. Another. Frak-lapping. Ini. File.
I've had it with the fact that this stuff doesn't work reliably.
Oh, sure, if you work with Linux every hour of every day, if
this is all you do, and all you love, if you've never had a
date since you grew that one facial hair, if you've never
had any other responsibility in your entire life, then you
know every bit of every undocumented piece of folklore.
You know which forums and which forum posters have the
very long and bizarre command line that only. That. One.
Guy. Knows.
And you know that if you type that command line in on,
say, Distro version 4.3, it'll work, but it'll break miserably
on version 4.3a, because THAT version requires a
completely different entire program, packaged with a
completely different package manager, and THAT
command line sequence can be gotten by getting on just
the right IRC channel, at just the right time of night, and
talking just the right way, to that one incredibly self-
absorbed luser who happens to know that you need to put
the undocumented -lM in front of the fourth parameter.
And woe be it to the unfortunate fool who gets the
capitalization wrong, because putting an -Lm in front of the
fourth parameter does a completely different, and even
further undocumented, and possibly dangerous-to-the-
entire planet sort of thing, because, well, "you shoulda
known!".
Why have I had it, you ask?
I've had it because after spending months jumping through
all those hoops, and more, feeling like I had to pass
through all four levels of Ninja Warrior and climb to the top
of Mount Midoriyama, just to be allowed to launch frickin'
VNC in a GUI or load the backup program I use on all the
other machines on my network... after all that, the stupid,
horrible, nasty, back-stabbing, disloyal, hodge-podge,
disorganized, unsupervised, chaotic craptasm that's called
Linux... after I got the whole thing working, it crashed.
Oh, and it didn't crash easy. See, I was done. I was getting
ready to deploy my server. I just wanted to do a last-
minute update because I'm a good frickin' doobie and I do
my updates. So when Gnome said there were updates to
apply, I said okay.
Can you imagine my rank naivety here? I actually said
Okay to a Linux update. I know I should have known better.
I know I should have, instead, formatted another hard drive,
dd'd my furry little pile of files over, downloaded the source
tarball, compiled everything all over again, prayed to Linus,
turned my back to Redmond, and built my entire operating
system up from scratch, just to install some security
updates.
But I didn't. I figured that after all these years, Linux was
finally robust enough to not rip me a new one because I
just wanted to run a server and keep it up to date. Silly
me! Silly, silly me!
So I ran the update process. And it died. Abnormal
exception.
And there went all my work and all my time. Down the
drain.
Now, it won't boot.
Worse, the box is co-located at my ISP, so I had to make
a begging plea, requesting they please rebuild my drives
and please reinstall my OS. I'm fortunate it was still a box
in staging, that I wasn't running live systems on it, or I'd be
completely and totally screwed, rather than just pissed off
to the point of spitting.

Now, despite what I'm sure you commenters will say, I'm
no tech babe in the woods. I've been a UNIX product
manager, I've written kernel code, and I've taught
programming at the college level. But the problem with
today's modern Linux is that it's more than just the kernel.
It's an amalgamation of thousands of crufty pieces, all
stapled together, most of which work for only one specific
combination of moving parts. Mismatch anything, and the
entire tower of cards falls to pieces.
Sure, Linux machines can make great servers. But they
require a dedicated group of Linux groupies who know all
the folklore, all the secret handshakes, and where all the
bodies are buried.
Me, I'm just a busy dude with other stuff to do. I just need
to feed some Web pages and run my programs. I don't
have the time to do the dance of blood it takes to truly be
one with the Linux culture.
I've had it. Oh, sure, I'll still run some turnkey appliances
based on Linux in VMs that I can backup, snapshot, and
restore in a heartbeat, but for the core engine that drives
my servers, I am -- from now on -- all Windows, all the
time.
I just can't afford to waste any more time with Linux. Not
when -- by design -- everything is held together with
toothpicks, duct tape, and bailing wire.
No way. You couldn't pay me to run Linux on my raw iron.
Never again.
Update after I've calmed down
I talked with my ISP today. They told me that when they
came in this morning, the server monitor was spewing an
incredible number of error messages, and -- in their words
-- it was erroring worse than they've ever seen.
Here's where it gets crazy, though. I asked if they used
this distro (CentOS, version 5.6) anywhere else in their
organization.
"Yes," I was told. "On lots of machines. But we don't ever
run updates. Once it's installed, we leave it alone."
That's how you survive with a Linux distro apparently.
Once it's installed and works, never, ever update it.
If that is, in fact, how other ISPs are managing their Linux-
based machines, that means they're not updating their
systems as new security exploits become known. In order
to prevent their machines from becoming radioactive piles
of rubble because a simple update was initiated, they're
leaving their machines (and their customers) open to all
sorts of malicious attacks.
In my professional (and slightly more lucid opinion), Linux
is a fine operating system. It is a robust operating system.
It is a flexible operating system. Just not all three. It can't
be fine, flexible, and robust.
Try that, and the Earth will open up and swallow you whole.




So funny..

Micynute94 bro hi,been long.Read ur post about VPS.Won't lie 2 u,I can't give u an adequate answer or recommendation as I have not used a virtual server be4.But av u tried Digital Ocean? Their price is quite fair! 5$ a mnth with 20GB cloud space,ITB Bandwith,and 512 RAM. I don't think paying in Naira is an issue.So long as u have a mastercard.

Boss, heard about it bt i didn't do much digging on that company..
5$ .. wow.. That's cool.. So far they have atleast 95% server uptime, am OK.

BTW, r u on Whatsapp?.. Working on a financial project - though long term, thinking we could join heads and make something out of it... Want d program to be up and running in no time.. Na money tinz dey my mind o..

..... Ramblings from a cert. Rambler

So far So good. Ilorin can take their admission and stick it somewhere the sun doesn't shine ( Just Kidding ). But seriously, Ilorin is really disorganising me. I mean i don't care if all the aspirants in Nigeria chose them, i mean i really don't care if all the aspirants in Nigeria chose them, i really really don't care if all the aspirants in Nigeria chose them. LTF, don't they have a criteria used in selecting students, ion wanna believe they don't have cos that's laughable . On assumption that all aspirants passed their cutoff marks, i really don't see why they cant just increase the cutoff marks to something higher . It's not as if all Unilorin aspirants have the same score .

Seriously, who does that anymore?, their keeping the admission list(s) and putting everybody in suspense ain't gonna put food on anyone's table and dam.n sure it ain't gonna give them any award, make them look hot or give them the most sought after institution in Nigeria award (If there's one ), if i hear . So what's the scores with hoarding the result.

What's so special or troubling about the result that it has to take this much time for them to release it. You(Unilorin) call yourselves Better By Far, it's high time you guys started proving it, not just living on some distant glory and who knows, you(Unilorin) might be better by far in frustrating people .

Like seriously, i remembered registering people for UI and printing their dam.n invitation letter a few days back and now what? Yap, their result is out while you(Unilorin) refuse to do anything to yours. Really thinking of what might be delaying you but i really can't get an inkling to that. Even my colleague who did his exam a week after you(Unilorin) started yours has seen his result and has been given an admission to study Economics in UNICAL.

.... And come to think of it, aspirants are also not helping, just spewing rubbish here and there claiming it's from a reliable source as if there's a reward for your hypothetical assumptions . Yah, i get it, u get to be a one day celebrity and you get to eat some biscuit bones and probably some leftover meats thrown at you. So pathe.tic

Micynute94: On a better note, programming is cool and i have unlocked my phone using some apps, thanks guys .
Recently learning how to program in Mql4, looks very much like C and looks coo l. You guys know any cheap VPS that is robust, accept Nigeria cards, have good technical support, and yah, 'money friendly' . Reviews am hearing about Amazon AWS EC2 ain't encouraging, i mean the free version. Doing research on my side too

Bro no phone to whatsapp u oooo, using my system to post dz sef...
What do u think?
Really nd help ASAP

Hi Guys... I need ur help ooooooo

Been battling with some apps for some weeks now, the apps kinda hijacked my phone, disable my super.su and downloaded another superuser app for it, the apps were really getting on my nerves as i found out they v access to everything, can change my Wifi state which they do regularly by downloading stu.pid apps and bloatware.
Some even cloned system apps and became the default app... Long story short... In a bid to tackle this stuff, i had to install an app and made a mistake of deleting a system app.... something com.google.helper stuff... Since then, phone cant pass the booting stage. Just loading TECNO and stays there.

Thinking of flashing a new ROM on it but ion know how to do it or is there any alternative to it.

P.S : the phone is Tecno M3 and it was rooted.
** Haven't done anything on it except to do a factory reset and wipe data cache

Bro,long time! Hope all is well? C compiler.............Lol,am strictly into web design bro(HTML,CSS,PHP,Javascript),avent used a C compiler,but am very sure you wud see a tutorial on how to install a GCC or Ming compiler on youtube

Thanks bro..
Though i v an IDE i can use, just wanna go d traditional way using notepad 70% of d time or more.
Downloading Codeblock IDE.. seems it has Mingw as default compiler....

@ GideonG .. U use python 2 or 3.. which do u use d most?.
N which interpreter do u use.... ?

Do u know how to install A C compiler on d system.. preferably GCC or Ming.....
don't want to use d one that came with IDE..
