What an incompetent Project/Software Manager!

I agree with nprime, believe me when you come to the UK you will be forced to learn C/C++ or java.  You buy Evening Standard all you see is Java this Java that. 

Let me actually say the truth, I was forced to learn java.  All the tops jobs that was going out there was java or C/C++. So I decided to settle for java.  If you want to learn C/C++ here is a free compiler from [url=http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,20633,00.html]Borland[/url].
Programmers File Editor is a good IDE for C/C++ or other language


I used this shareware IDE to teach students in my part-time job.  Sorry did I forget to tell you that I am a teacher as well.

Download Borland C++ Compiler version 5.5 Free.  Install it and set your path to %PATH%\c:\borland\bcc55\bin.  Download and install the IDE, Programmer's File Editor. 

I will send another post to tell you how to configure the IDE to recognize the compiler

I have 7 Servers in my house (1U Rack) and 4 workstations.  I run a part-time business at home, providing cheap carrier to Internet cafes or call centre.  The business type is called ITSP.  I have had little time running the business as I work at the moment.  I only pay attention to it during weekends when I am off work and you know family issues at well.  It is not that easy, and I have to keep up with this forum.

I am in the process of changing my ADSL form 2Mbps to 8Mbps unfortunately AOL at the moment do not support that.  All the rest ISP in UK have some hidden agenda either monthly limit download and cost to call customer service for a problem you can fix yourself. 

I have a project I want to conduct if people would help; I know someone will run with the idea to start it by their own.  We can actually use a VSAT from London and beam data to another VSAT in Nigeria and provide a more cheaper or even free Internet access with lots of bandwidth.

elbaron: Nferyn, Abiogenesis is a field I have very deep rooted interests in. My active field is Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics Engineering, but I dabble in other fields as well.

I know little about Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics, I was wondering the current state of these field in African and the propagation of problems we face today in ourland without Fourth solution from these academic research area.

Must we live on fossilized fuel? Is there anyway we can produce vast amount of heat (Plasma) to power of homes and mechanical technologies?   What are the achievements of these research field in African?

@pojutime, please can you provide more elaborate description of your problem.  Maybe I did not understand it very well.  The hardest thing for business analyst is requirement elicitation.  Many software development fail today because of poor customer/client agreed requirements.

Please, tell me if you would not mind this solution in java.  I could provide complete solution for you.  But it will take some time as I am busy.

Sorry, I have corrected most of my earlier reply, the spell checker changes my words to its prefer ones. I will provide prove of Big Bang and the nemesis that we face in billions of years to come.

I am busy at the office today, I am giving presentation to my department and are working on my powerpoint. I will soon be back with my own academic theory about Big Bang

I am a J2EE Senior Programmer for Investment Banking, canary wharf in London United Kingdom.

I have realized a good number of people has PC related problem(s) and need urgent help from IT professional. I was wondering if it would be nice to have a remote admin support, so people of Nairaland can enjoy first line support.

I use this logmein to help my IT naive friends with software/hardware related issues. If you have used any remote admin could you post the link(s) so we can critique there strenghth and weakness.

Finally, is it a good idea to have member of Nairaland install some sort of remote admin to help people with IT related issues?

Sorry I misunderstood ur question.  It doesn't worth the application.  Using tunnelling application would not be a good idea.  I once had an idea of a project I wanted to do.  It was something to do with HTTP/HTTPS authentication from a remote server using tunnelling as my transport protocol, but I soon abandoned it.

@joftech, you can NOT issue queries to your bank.  The quries are already provided for you. i.e.

1. check balance
2. transfer fund
3. cancel standing order
4. make a payment

etc..

But tell me, why have your username and passwd send over unsecure HTTP to just authenticate your details on an online application like online banking?  Online banks don't use HTTP/HTTPS to get your details. They use RMI/RPC

All these articles look like scholarly argument rather to philosophical spat.

I would like to contribute but wouldn’t know where to start.  I have personal believes in evolution to creationism.  You couldn't say we all looked like this last millennium and the last and the last.  It would be such naive to acclaim such a penchant.

I believe the being the Christian world regards as their Omnipotent, has leaved here billions of years ago and has left on realising the faith that faces earth another billion year to come.  When the sun will detonate all its plasma energy to engulf our beautiful solar system and start a new life the scientist refer to as big bang.

@layi, I agree with you.  12dailypro, are owning me some big substantial amount of money, claiming that stormpay their recommended pay processor has frozen their account.  That stormpay is demanding that they provide information regarding their financial business.

Stormpay claims that they are advanced pyramid scam.  After people will start to blame Nigerians 419. I have done deep research about all these affiliate program, they are all fake and liars, apart from google ad-sense.

All these affiliate programme are advance 419ers, they want to get your trust first and hope you invest big and close your account for one reason or the other.

@joftech, [glow=red,0,10]hahahahahaha!!![/glow] wetin you won do with another person akaterian?  Banks would not be stupid to publish their API on the internet.  Even by mistake you had come across such API, to access some object and call up a function say transfer balance etc, that process MUST be a local process known to the Enterprise Application.

If the process is running on a different Enterprise Application, the security settings will not let your request go beyond some switches and routers.  Mind you Enterprise Architecture is very different.  A Bank may hold there DB in Scotland, their Enterprise Server in London, All their middleware in another location.  All these is to help with network fault tolerant and virus.

If you are looking for google/yahoo API, I think google has it API here, but not banks.

To query your bank account, you need to login to your online bank website, if you bank has one.  Alternatively, you could use 24hrs banking telephone service if your bank provides one.  The last one is to visit your branch and ask a cashier to help you query your account.  Then again there is this last one, which I will not recommend to take a gun and visit your branch.

In the UK, telephone lines can be converted into ASDL.  This translate into having voice line and data line in one line, if i am making sense to you.  i.e. In a typical house in the UK, the developer MUST put a telephone line probably BT (British Telecom) line.

You can have a dialup (56kbps), the problem with this is that your line is tire up for voice calls unless you disconnect from internet.  Even worst incoming calls can disconnect your internet (in the middle of download)

Broadband was the solution to divide your existing BT line into ADSL.  Hence having voice call whilst on the internet on one line.  Here in the UK we can enjoy 1Mbps to 8Mbps on ADSL line (braodband).  I m using 2Mbps in my house.  It cost me £24.99 per month.  To get a T1, BRI,PRI line it would cost you £1000 setup fee and £34 per channel, minimum channel is 8 port.  This lines are for commercial use like Hosting and serious IT related business and internet cafe in the UK.

NOTE: i also have seen some adverts in our papers offering dedicated bandwidth on VSATs using various technology-solutions.   
...how do you explain this using

I would like to see more evidence to this claim.  If there are ways to communicate dedicated bandwidth to customers then, I think VSAT is the better solution for Nigeria.

I would like you to take time and go through these link and this

To be more precise VSAT is good solution for WAN and MAN solution not for private use for internet connection.  If you want to communicate two offices together i.e. One in Kano State and another in Lagos State, the best solution is VSAT.  That was the original purpose.  But you know Nigerian with their technical ideas.
