P.S. Admin: Sorry about the cross-posting confusion.

EDIT: Gah! Duplicate post.

Lolz! So who the hell cares?

By the way, the Punch article really isn't tangible enough. Where's the main source?

No, I don't feel you. In any case, talk to him about it.

This, my friends, is the reason why I do not attempt to randomly engage in conversation, despite how attractive I may find the girl.

Doing well in what sense?

A venture capitalist is only going to fund you if your startup shows a lot of promise, and I highly doubt Nigerian funding companies (if there are any), are going to shell out as much cash as foreign companies do without requiring your soul in return. I may be mistaken, but I'm not sure Nairaland.com is exactly a business, and if it is, well, I'm not sure about revenue it's generating. And once again, I may be mistaken, but I don't think there are any venture capitalists funding enownow or Whogobuy. That, and I lack faith in the Nigerian market.

Think about it this way: Are there any major companies who are going to want to acquire eNowNow or Whogobuy for at LEAST N10,000,000 (and this is even minute compared to the dot com acquisitions that we do not even hear about)? I think not.

To put things in perspective, you can take a look at the following:
http://www.tnl.net/blog/2006/10/09/no-bubble-20-yet/

This shows a number of acquisitions made. The lowest earner there is just under $1 million, which is equivalent to N128,000,000, and that is a far cry from N10,000,000. Heck, I haven't even heard of WebJay or Upcoming.org.

And Google and Yahoo! are even relatively young companies when you come to think about it. Yahoo! only started in 94 or 95, and Google in 98.

Huh?

Anyway, Miss sandykoko, I think you're cute. How about you deliver the last two digits of your number and we can have a man-to-woman chat? No harm done. No, I am not sucking up to you.

Talk about originality. Anyway, I've been a fan of reality TV. Or TV in general. There are good shows I do get to watch though: 24, Lost, you know, the likes,

Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Forget it. Nigeria isn't ripe enough for a dotcom startup. Even if you came up with a great idea, a number of Nigerians wouldn't know that it is, even if it mobbed them.

I suggest you create a startup somewhere where there is a market.

For some guidance, I suggest you read some of Paul Graham's essays. Very good stuff to be learned from the guy.

Good luck. And most important of all, be wise.

It's unfair? Dude, welcome to forever ago. It's not a problem that is going away anytime soon. Deal with it.

Oh please! Lighten up. You don't have to let everything that someone says get to you. Geez.

Lol. You took it personally. I'm disappointed. I was merely joking. And yes, I like to make fun of people. Learn to laugh at yourself for a change.

If I was actually insulting you, I wouldn't use the word, "official"

Oh, yeah, an update. Got a new laptop,

Intel Core Duo T5200 1.6GHz
15.4" TFT LCD monitor
1GB DDR2 RAM
DVD-RW drive
120GB hard disk drive

World domination. And how to get Gamine's attention.

World domination first, though.

I'm looking at you, administrator.

I don't think dot dot dot (. . .) should be replaced with a comma.

Here are my reasons:
1. Dot dot dot is used for dramatic effect, and a comma just doesn't convey the message.
2. Dot dot dot can be used as a placeholder for "no comment". You definitely can't use a comma to do that.
3. Finally, you can end a sentence with dot dot dot - which could signify more to come, or once again, for effect. You can't end a sentence with a comma.

It's a revolution! Who's with me on the restoration of the DOT DOT DOT?!

By the way, who thinks dot dot dot should be accepted punctuation mark in English Language? You earn respect points if you do

Oh, oh, oh, I've come up with a new one.

If you fart in his presence, and it really stinks, but it doesn't bother him, then he clearly loves you.

shockreaction. It took me 3 years to come up with that. You should respect the creativity.

You don't even know how to spell trois and quatre properly! Shame. You're an official olodo. Not interested. Move along now.

@Iskwew: LIES!

Someone makes a simple request and gets flamed and insulted for it. What the hell is wrong with you people?! It's her choice what she chooses to do. She takes responsibility for her actions. It doesn't affect any of you in any way. Why, on earth are you being this silly?

Some of the responses here make me want to kill babies!

Let's face it, for most women, it's what they like to hear anyway.

I touch myself at night.

This should be renamed to the Gamine appreciation thread.

Fun Fact: She's cute.

In other news, did you notice that your post count is 1996? Nothing significant, as such.

I speak English very fluently.

Oh, wait,

No.

And Windows Vista is neat.

@thekrafter: I'm the one who was asking for Core 2 Duos. Any idea which stores you will be able find that? I can't start walking up and down in that Computer Village area. Pretty stressful.

The default Ubuntu install doesn't include the gcc compiler. You need to install a package called build-essential using
sudo apt-get install build-essential

or through the Synaptic Package Manager to get up and running.

I'm currently running Feisty (7.04) and I must say, Ubuntu has come a very long way. I actually like it now. Makes a lot of tasks easier, and then there's a lot of community support and such. Good stuff. Once Wine can properly handle Windows games (and it looks like this will be happening very soon), I'll be ditching my Windows installation.

Well, the topic speaks for itself. I'll start.

Pentium IV 2.0GHz processor
ATi Radeon 9250 w/256MB RAM
768MB DDR RAM
250GB hard disk drive
LG DVD-RW drive

Yeah, it's a pretty decent gaming rig. Not planning on upgrading until I can find Core Duo motherboards+processors in Nigeria. Any ideas, people?

There's something wrong with all the pirated copies of UT GOTY that you'll find in Computer Village. They won't work after you get past a certain level. Fact.
