maclatunji: No mind them.

Sissie: LOL is that dressing modestly? LOL

deols: Adesuave just brought up one of those things that I thought we would discuss at the time of starting this thread. I believe we spoke briefly about approach, etc but I'd like that we speak also of appearance.

I have heard it more than once that the Muslim bros arent trying on that level, like at all .It can be embarrassing having someone looking not well dressed speaking with you in d first place(on a proposal basis). You'd feel very very disrespected. And I know it from interaction with ladies.

What do the guys think of this? Do ladies have inputs?

superted87: my response

maclatunji: ^Seriously though, I have observed that some Muslims actually believe Islam is not "logical". I could not disagree more.

maclatunji: I asked, you can answer...

maclatunji: So you believe Islam is not logical?

sino: Eyah, poor you, and you didn't creat a password reset disk?

Well, i think it's against the policy here to give you steps on how to crack passwords, for one reason, how do we know the system is really yours...

My advice, go look for a techy with proof of ownership and solve your problem...

And google is your friend

bukatyne: Christianity is a way of life and we still lead our lives as Nigerians.

Typical Yoruba Christian, Igbo Christian, Hausa Christian, English Christian, American Christian, Indian Christian etc. would be different from each other but their core values would still be the same.

As for the bolded, How can speaking in tongues or monogamy be African or un-African? Do you know another tribe that speak in tongues?

showietee: They're skillful, but rather prefer to be calm(no showoff) for that is beta.....

maclatunji: So, the "beauty of Islam" is a separate entity from "logic". #Wonderful

joywendy: please how do you delete a thread that you put by yourself.help please!!!!!!!! thanks

joywendy: thanks so much. I feel better

joywendy: no it is not the same thing. I wanted to study computer science or computer engineering.I was told back in secondary school that i was not qualified for science class so I went to art class but later I still wanted to be in science but my parent refused saying it will stress me. So I decided to stay. What scares me is the career oppurtunity ahead and will I be happy? Secondly am a shy person I have difficulty in making friends and when I finally make them they leave it so painful,really words cant explain

Making friends is a trial for shy people—geeks especially. They view it as insincere at best, manipulative at worst. They eschew networking for a variety of reasons including lack of confidence, fear of rejection and a sense of unworthiness.

If they could just relate to others more easily, if they just possessed more self-confidence and weren't such self-conscious wallflowers, the world would be their oyster, and schmoozing would be so much easier.

It is possible for shrinking violets and shy guys to master the skill of networking. They just have to realize, says Ferrazzi, that successful networking is all about building intimate, sincere relationships based on mutual generosity, not duplicity, and that they can't achieve their career goals on their own. They have to network their way to success.

If you're struggling to meet new people, here's some common-sense advice for increasing your networking mojo.
Start Small

If the idea of approaching people you don't know intimidates you, begin your networking efforts by seeking out familiar faces, such as relatives and friends.

"You can do a significant amount of valuable networking without ever having to make a cold call," says Lynne Sarikas, the director of Northeastern University's MBA Career Center. "Starting with a known [contact] instead of an unknown demystifies the [networking] process and helps get a shy person over the hurdle." A series of successful conversations will make you more confident in the process, Sarikas adds.


A logical next step after talking with friends and family is to pursue individuals who graduated from your college. Your alumni network can be a gold mine of connections, says Sarikas. It exists for the purpose of networking, so contacting an alum out of the blue shouldn't feel like a cold call. After all, they joined the network to make and take such calls.
Stop Apologizing

Introverts and inexperienced networkers often apologize when asking for an individual's help because they see networking as an imposition, not as an exercise in relationship building, says Sarikas.

"They feel like they're asking someone to do them a favor. They don't think they're worth someone else's time so they're apologizing for it," she says


Apologizing merely demonstrates your lack of professionalism and confidence. It's also annoying and juvenile. You don't have to apologize for asking for help. You don't have to apologize for wanting to learn more about the individual with whom you're networking. One day you may be able to help her out.
Tap into Your Primal Instincts

"Humans are hard-wired as communal, tribal animals, so the shy person isn't shy by nature," says Ferrazzi. "They are shy by design. Something happened to them to make them want to recoil."

Sometimes, when an introvert hears that he's not inherently a loner, that humans are innately social creatures, the realization helps him emerge from his shell of shyness, he says.

gmoney009: Thank you for this. Do you sell? Or is there someone you can recommend? Would really appreciate your response on this.

gmoney009: Hi Guys nice work going on here. My system keeps bleeping, and then if I open any of the microsoft packages it displays all the shortcut menus. Also seems the keyboard is malfunctioning as some keys don't work and once the system is on anywhere the is a typing bar it just keeps writting ---------------------------- on it's own continually. Please .oming from someone who isn't a guru that is the best way I can explain.

meshybizzo: @onegig, b4 all that, I thk he said "The desktop was slow and he tried to run an installation, which didn't complete!". That at first would have cause d pc not to boot or what do you think?
Secondly a p3 system? Am sorry but being slow shouldn't b an unexpected issue.
Except the system isn't coming on or displaying anything, My advise is he restarts and completes installation b4 going under d hood.

meshybizzo: Mostly likely RAM. Probably one of both RAM is bad your system is now running on say 1GB instead of 2GB.

Perform a simple test. Open the RAM area and Remove one of them. Close back and restart. If the sound still occurs, shutdown. Insert the RAM back and remove the other and then restart again.

Let's know if the sound still occurs

Alpet: It's toshiba.
