open source or free software?

@guru. "Why Web developers fail" (or probably you wanted naming it "why nigerian web developers fail"?

Let me also point out one big problem amongst nigerian developers.

For example, if i should come asking you to join me so we can work together to create a web application that'll change nigeria. What will be the first thing in your mind?

"Hmmmm! Who will take the credit?" or "I don't like partnership. It doesn't end well."

And also, i do not fully support your idea on the fact that we like creating apps that already exists as being a factor that makes nigerian web developers fail.
You may want to justify that fact.

Just look at the 1st reply of this thread. Saying that your site is crap. That is another problem we have. Do i really need to go into this?

try nitropdf:

use the code to generate the pin then use the tip from dual core to create your pin system.

hey, i was doing some work when i saw this post and decided to write something for you...

[php]

/*

the first argument is the number of pair groups
the 2nd argument is the number of letters to pair
each group is separated with a hypen (-).
Hope this helps you in your project.. Good night

*/

function generate_key($group_num = 4, $pair_num = 2)
{
$letters = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
$key = '';

for($i = 1; $i <= $group_num; $i++)
{
$key .= substr($letters, rand(0, (strlen($letters) - $pair_num)), $pair_num) . '-';
}

$key[strlen($key)-1] = ' ';

return trim($key);
}

# Example usage;

echo generate_key(4, 4);

Bin with trudigits Hosting since last year and i have to say that it should be on the africa's top 5 webhosts. Things to note from my experience...
1. Good customer care support. I give them thumbsup for that.
2. Payment is so easy.
3. If your site uses lots of server resources, don't go there. My first VPS account with over 40 sites always had its servers going down. I registered for another VPS, split the sites and so far has been ok.
4. This is one big reason i cannot go for a hosting outside nigeria.... I Remember the last nationwide protest that i could not withdraw to pay for my overdue payment... Trudigits postponed my grace period untill the protest was over...
Now, try this with hostgator... If i hear say they nor 'nack ur site akpako'....
From me, trudigits is a life saver. Just give it a try... Infact, Don't just give it a try, start parking now.

Just logged in.

I saw the "good things" moderatorr talked about but you are going too far,  Read Carefully

Question: Is this a CMS
ANSWER: Yes.

The next question that should come to your mind before criticizing is "Is this CMS Open Source?". Do i need to say anything futher to you,
Seriously what is wrong with using open source scripts maybe you want to take a look at antigravity,

[pseudocode]

STRING PROJECT = 'carry out your analysis';
BOOL IS_CMS_OPENSOURCE = (PROJECT === 'joomla' OR PROJECT === 'wordpress' OR PROJECT === 'drupal' OR PROJECT === 'modx' , etc);

IF(IS_CMS_OPENSOURCE):
RETURN CRITICIZE;
ELSE:
RETURN NULL;
ENDIF;


On the design issue, "no comment"
