N500k+ for a laptop...God!!!!

Are you joking? Go to xoticpc or any other boutique PC customization site and see what prices PCs can go up to. I remember circa 2004 when I saw the apple powermac g4 ads on TV (in the UK) and went to their site to configure it. Good Lord! Prices went up to about £6000 - mind = blown! Nowadays, it's normal to me.

Back on topic, this is a sexy hybrid. The color scheme is similar to my current Asus N550J and I love it. Sites are reporting that the GPU is an Nvidia GTX 960m which would make this an extremely balanced system.

She looks grea.......oooh *#!? My eyes!!!

Gaddem it, all I see are phone for picture enthusiasts. I am an audiophile, when will these phone companies start making some real audiophile phones with killer sound chips? I have tried the available so called music phones and they don't make the cut, enough of these camera things, give us audio damnnn it, I wanna plug my in ear monitor earphones and go bonkers from the sound quality.

You must be my brother from another mother. I haven't found an all in one phone for a long time now. Currently, using two phones because of this. I miss Nokia like crayyyy. I still fondly go over pics taken with my N8 which also had sweet multimedia output to my Sennheiser CX300II then. The headphone output on my android LG G Pro is utter rubbish

It didn't take me to the bbm shop still. I'm still being led to Google

Make sure ur browser isn't set to desktop mode. That seem to break the redirection.
Just to add to the poster above, Nusantara isn't free.

Watched the chelsea - arsenal game with 1 infuriating chelsea fan who was exactly like his manager. Only saw things against arsenal but never saw anything against chelsea.
This is karma for that undeserved win against arsenal by cheating. Costa will be back soon and chelsea will still lose.
It's been a while I've been this ecstatic.

Can anyone explain to my why the *#$@ Amazon currency converter doesn't work? You place an order in naira and you still get debited @ a monstrous exchange rate.
UBA $ - 237.52 Naira Mastercard.

Also, went into GTB to reactivate my account which has been dormant and I was asked to bring a utility bill + ID. Problem is I'm temporarily in a different city for the next few months and don't want to change my address again and again but the cc insisted. Is the regular practice?

@samunosuke here. Do not sneakily unfollow after a while.

temitimx19:
Okay so wat happens next.....? could share your experience with me. thanks

What happens next is that it ships and gets delivered to the family house in US then one of my relations sends it to me. Simples.

luxanne:
Too bad. I was earnestly looking forward to that battle tho, seeing the bloodbath would have been epic just like the hardhome's

Yeah, ever since the Battle of Blackwater which was very detailed in the books but was basically glossed over in the series, I tempered my expectations for large scale battles in Got.
It's also part of the reason that episode 8 of season 5 left me breathless. I wasn't expecting such epic scenes. Reminds me of a few hopeless situations in The Walking Dead.
That ending though, when the Chief White Walker raises his hands and the dead come to life. I passed out. Epic. Amazing. Highlight of the series so far for me because I am genuinely curious about the white walkers.

luxanne:
So how did tyrion, daario and all escaped being butchered

And why didn't they show us that fight between stannis and bolton rather than just giving us the end of it


And that was so touching between myrcella and jamie, too bad she had to die...I suspected that kiss was outta line.

Got has never really focused on the battles themselves but the outcomes and stories that result from them. "Hardhome" was epic though and it was used to tell us more about white walkers and an additional way to kill them (valyrian steel).

The books and the series aren't actually on par yet. The series is ahead of the books in some stories while the books are ahead in others.

temitimx19:
How did you do that please share?! thanks in advance

Ummm.....Thought I just did? Use your Nigerian billing address for the debit card but instead of city = asaba, state = delta etc, you put in city = smallville, state = Kansas etc. Also put a valid US post code and phone number. That is all.

~deleted~

tonjeola:
so u can use naija cards on bestbuy? Good one!

Actually, you can't. They only allow US billing addresses so I tweaked mine. Used the Nigerian address but used my US shipping address's City, State and Post Code. Use at your own risk.

"You know nothing" doesn't prove anything.

People are just biased because they feel anybody that does magic is evil. And Stannis wasn't at kings landing. He was at dragon stone.

You are right, "you know nothing" proves nothing but the article points out several other events which support the theory of Jon being the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark.

Stannis sailed directly to the wall after his defeat @ the blackwater in King's landing. I know his base was Dragonstone.

Read an article on Forbes that said Jon Snow is a Targ and I believe it. All this talk of "you know nothing" also points towards that. There is also no way that Dany can control 3 fully grown dragons by herself.

I don't know why people have problems with Melisandre's magic when there's plenty other magic in the kingdoms - wargs/skinchangers, many-faced god, the others, dragons etc. And so far, she is the only one outside the wall who recognizes the threat of the others and dragged Stannis from Kings Landing to prevent the wall falling to wildlings. I think her aim is to get Stannis to rule so that she'll have support against the others. My 2cents.

Just bought a Lumia 635 for $25.66 = #5268.15 @ 205.305 from Bestbuy with my Union Bank Mastercard. Transaction was on 10 June but the alert just came now.
Meanwhile, I used amazon currency converter rate of @208.47 after checking the UBA Mastercard rate here.

sage1000:
He is correct. Skinchanging is the general term for anyone that can enter the consciousness of animals while wargs is a term used for those that can enter wolves.

The TV show just uses warging as a catch all term for all skinchangers.

Bran has entered something far more difficult than a wolf (Hodor). Arya has used hers to 'cheat' @ the house of black and white. I don't know why warging is a specific term for skinchanging to direwolves if they aren't the most difficult to possess. The wildling that possessed a bird was a warg and immediate the wildlings saw Jons ability, they labeled him a warg too.

I don't even bother using aircrack-ng to dictionary Crack WPA2 networks again. Reaver-wps works far better because once I get the wps pin, no matter how many times in a day the password is changed, I can get it in less than 5 seconds.
The wps pin is hard coded into the router and can only change with the hardware. It has also been discovered that even if wps is switched off, about 90% of routers out there are still susceptible to this attack.

So this Rivers Prof can't read what he wrote? SMH.

This Rivers Prof. is a joker. Saying you are not joking when people are laughing at you, will always make them laugh more. #BlindBat

Enough with the delay! What is Jega's problem with time? Giving people unnecessary high b.p. Let's get this over and done with.

Thought I had posted this here earlier.

UBA are bloody criminals!

Ordered from amazon about 3 weeks back. Amazon automatically detects the currency your card is in and instead of charging in dollars, they offer the option of billing you in naira to cut out exchange rate fluctuations.

Amazon gave me a rate of 209 but since i have had better rates from UBA in the past, I chose dollars and UBA charged me about 230. About 4 items had shipped before i realized this, so I quickly cancelled the remaining items (amazon only charge your account when the items ship but they place a hold on your account for the required amount immediately you place the order), waited for about 2 days for the hold to clear and then ordered again using amazon's currency converter in naira. Result: UBA still charged 230+.

For a total order of about $1000, i paid about 20k extra for no reason.

Really pissed off, but I just don't have time for them right now. When i'm a lil' bit more settled, I'll face them

Would have switched back to GTB but i have 2 issues with them:

1. It's a current account, COT ruins it .

2. They are fond of double charging or whatever and then returning it after a while (usually at the end of the month). EFF that!

Access bank is looking sexy though.

Can someone tell me how to log back in to nairaland? Had to go dig up a browser i was logged into, that i haven't used in ages just to post this. I was forcefully logged out last night during the election result stampede and i don't know who I should sacrifice and to what deity in other to log back in.

Edit: Just discovered opera mini wasn't showing the verification page for the code login. My bad. All good now.

Did a lot of research before getting this bad boy. Perfectly balanced in every way and was in notebookcheck.net top 3 multimedia notebooks at the time of purchase (October '13). Only wish I had waited 6 months for the gtx 850m maxwell update. Oh well, still love it.

Wanted to order a few things online for the holiday season only to see this rubbish. This country only gets worse by the second. Imagine rubbish, #180 to the dollar. God help us.

I'd like to receive it also. Test is tomorrow. owoch at hotmail.com Thanks.

Ubisoft are not to be trifled with. Reports of unoptimization of their last few games are numerous especially Watch Dogs. I don't have much time to game plus I have a lengthy backlog of games I can currently run that I haven't played, so i'll hold out a bit. But this new trend of excessive requirements for games is very annoying.

What sort of systems do you guys have? The MINIMUM specs for Unity state a gtx680 not m, desktop class. That's insane! Thought I'd be able to manage my i7-4700hq and 750m for a while but at this rate, I'll need to build a desktop with at least a gtx970 soon.
