WHo is he? Have you been cheating on me?

You are free to use the the distro or not to use it. No one's forcing you to use it.

he's one personality and he's evil. Paloma is really having fun crying today!

Charlisco, you're a true photoshop guru. Is there anything you don't know about on Photoshop?

Hello Liz.

Wow, thanks for your contribution to this topic!

Purpose of my plan:

1) To keep managers close to the people they are managing. I want each division to operate like a start-up.

2) To make sure managers own a significant portion of what they are managing, and behave accordingly. I want them to be owner-managers, not political mercenaries who really only care about their paychecks.

3) I want each unit of my business to be profitable. I want each manager to have to match her income and expenses. This way, I won't end up with a company where only 20% of the employees generate profits.

(If I call myself a capitalist, then I should structure my company like one. Instead of a planned 'economy' I'll have a market-driven one. If a division within my business cannot generate profits, it doesn't deserve to exist!)

I agree with you on the criteria for selecting the manager for each business division. It's important, too.

Also, as you've pointed out, it's not clear what percentage of her division a manager should own, and how this ownership will come to be. Is 30% is good enough to motivate a manager? What about 20%? What about 10%? If the manager is buying into the business, how do we fairly determine what her portion worth? I don't know yet!

As for the loan market, it will be up to the divisions who have surplus cash to determine the rates at which they are willing to give loans to the divisions that are in investment mode. That won't be centrally determined.

I don't think there's any need to agree beforehand on what "not doing well" means. If I'm not happy for any reason, I'll boot out the manager or sell me shares so she can run the business in her own way.

There's one other thing that came up while I was thinking about this idea. The tax implications of registering the divisions as separate companies. If I do it that way, then each time money moves between the divisions, the government will get a cut. I think it might be more efficient to run the system within a single company but treat each division within the company as if it's a separate company. That can work, although the division managers will have less freedom.

Thanks so much!

I wasn't able to access Nairaland from a MTN phone I configured today, yet I was able to access the MTN site. The other polyphonic ringtone site that we've been directing people to (wap.handphones.info) doesn't work either.

Psssst Naija man, there is one man I want you to arrest for me. How much do you charge?

I wish I'd discovered this tutorial earlier. I've stumbled accross a new system for creating what looks like a sketch. Check out hot-angel's pic attached to this post. I think this one is better.

The jobs section is appropriate for the NGO thread.

I'm aware of the duplicate topic issues, but I don't have much time for moderation these days.

If tonisafe wants to be a moderator, I can arrange that.

I prefer the cell phone to the bible because it's useful. One can make calls with it.

Think of your question this way: Is modeling worth your time?

Common sense dictates that you should block your email address from being displayed and remove your Yahoo messenger contact details from your profile if you don't want people to contact you. Simple common sense.

If you don't really enjoy the idea of modeling, don't bother yourself. That you're beautiful doesn't mean you have to peddle your beauty in front of the whole world. Modeling isn't a very reliable occupation.

Maybe it's something for just your family to appreciate. Or something you can do part-time, just for fun.

I'm going to try getting some cheap ones through abebooks.com soon.

dafman, did you succeed in getting any from milehighcomics?

Is "comic view on black entertainment" a TV show?

Most of them probably want you for sex anyway.

Those that want you for more than just sex will be willing to wait.

It's rare to find a woman who is focused like that.

The most important thing is for you to know what you want in a man in due course.

I expect it to be bettter than When You Are Mine, but if you're already a fan of DIego and Paloma you won't be impressed with this one no matter how good it is! When You Are Mine has first mover advantage.

Yes, they basically ripped off the Guiness advert, which seems silly to me. If you can't come up with your own unique advert, how can I believe that the product you're trying to sell me is unique in any way?

ok455:
Is it still on the air?

Yes.

She's too young for a relationship. She needs to face her studies and get matured. She needs to grow up and experience life so she can understand whatshe wants in a man. You should forget about her if your aim is not just sex.

I don't want my wife to be submissive, because I should not be dominant.

I don't want my wife to be meek because I should not be haughty.

But I want my wife to be respectful to me just as I am respectful to her.

"Humble and submissive" women are disgusting. I want a woman that's really alive!

Wow, guys, you've solved my problem. Thanks. So with 900 naira I'll be able to print 2000 text pages!

Throat cutting is not sudden death. Large animals like pigs and cows and goats take several minutes to kill, and they usually have to be beaten hard. It's a painful, slow death. Imagine a human being dying like that!

Hello to you too!

don't be cruel to them shaa because in the papers there's always stories like someone tumble drying their cats and sh** like that.

I thought death is the worst thing that could happen to a living thing?

If I can kill an animal for food, cutting its throat with a knife while it's alive, why can't I tumble-dry it?

As the UN Secretary-general, Kofi Annan is supposed to be impartial.
