ps:why is segsalerty's name not up?

Hmm, ericot. Who are you?

Section poster of the year Why my name? Not even dhtml or fayimora? It's not fair naw. I don't remember posting more than once so I vote omo

slick708:
hi skydancer,pls can u tell me d site i can download freebrowser software n how 2 configure it? Thanks

huh? What do you mean by 'free browser software'?

Hmm, when I refer to security measures, I'm actually more scared of website hijacks, rfi, lfi and co. A legal user registers on your site and starts to explore the security weaknesses, and eventually takes over it for you. The StockExchange stuff is cool though, nice job

Hmm, you sound like SSO is a fuss Of course that can be seen by a dumb web developer. It is easily seen that the sites are on different subdomains and can therefore not be the same drupal installation. Thought you were referring to some security measure or style. I personally don't like the ideas of 'cookies only' for security. When I was talking about firefox, I was actually referring to fiddler addon, I was thinking the subdomain was performing some kind of special hidden security measures

Hmm, the coding seems really pretty raw, you may have done it for different reasons. I can analyze what exactly it's doing on firefox though, but it seems like your own personal choice more or less.

Oh, and sorry, I forgot to add.

You really did a good awesome job with that site. I just hope it's easy to maintain. Nice job man

Btw, have you tried developing stuff like twitter or facebook before?

Edit: Ok, Can see a bit of drupal now. . .

Oh, sorry. It's been a long time. Usernames and nice names and all can really get confusing on Nairaland.

Lol, nice. People are really lazy both physically and mentally. One thing I have discovered with getting a good team is your ability to really share your passion and motivation across those who look up to you. In the beginning, never target the big guys for a team, just go with someone who has a bit of knowledge or skills, who is ready and completely willing to learn and work. At first I was doing most things alone, but now I don't just have a great team, but I have many who are willing to work with me; a really big temptation. (Running Lean is the smart way )
Secondly, one should do a complete prototype of whatever they want to build first, before going ahead. It's very important one creates a business plan of whatever they are doing as it will help them analyze what they are doing and how exactly to move ahead.

Btw, how come it appears you're hosting your site yourself? Or are you not Sawyerrken?

DHTML, I love your fascination about Google Translator, anyway, spammers are much more easier to catch than that If I was going to chat with a spammer, it would be so I can get his location. Anyways, this is much different from a translator. There is a large team at Google working on Google translator. When they want to develop translations for a language, they can go to a whole University, get their best professors in that language, create a condusive working environment for them, and give them some spreadsheet tasks to complete. I have seen this myself and I was one of the people who facilitated Google in Pidgin translation.
The thing is, it takes an understanding of different philosophies of the brain to understand how this works. Did you hear about the new processor just developed by IBM that has neurally connected switches like the brain? It has already received some million dollars of funding (even though IBM already has money). Just because they said it can help develop computers that can behave like our brains. Have you read about the next Kinect device Microsoft is building that can read emotions and all? Did you read about the machines built by scientists that can get clips and images from our thoughts and if we were thinking about a video or image, it could identify it when shown? The truth is we're already getting there, but the big companies have leverage.
I am not trying to approach the matter from the big doors, I'm just trying to get in via a small hole that I'm quite convinced is leading to the inside. I would have worked better with a team, but all the people I talk to really seem dumb about it, so It's like I'm stuck with myself.

I believe you are talking about Blogger here.
It all depends on what you want to use your website for, but Wordpress is not comparable to Blogger. Wordpress is more robust and is used for more than18% of the websites that exist on the WWW today.
If you simply want to create a blog where you can be posting information frequently, I advice you to go with Blogger, however if you are looking for something you can have complete control over or you want to create something more customized and corporate, go with Wordpress.

Okay, no more bumping. We're done with this.

Interesting. The old argument between which is better between invention and innovation. I too, believe invention is better than innovation. You surely do not think it's luck that made Windows the worldwide choice PC? Bill Gates wanted you and me (the common people) to have personal computers, and you should be grateful to him for that. Others didn't agree with him.
He worked with steve Jobs together on Apple II, it wasn't just Steve's thing. And Steve with his arrogance would never buy the idea of making computers cheap enough (even till his death). Yeah, Bill Gates is a dreamer, but Steve was even a lesser dreamer, and it's big dreamers that win, that's why we say dream big   But I understand you're incapable of that, your strong down-to-earth and critical and over-analytic attitude won't allow you, will it?

Bill Gates is cold-blooded? Wow, let's clap for you   If being cold-blooded is offering billions of dollars to poor and incapacitated people, offering students incentives to make solutions for the world, and trying to make the common man have a PC, then Steve Jobs was ice-blooded  

Stop equating what? I wasn't the one who said 'What a man can conceive, he can achieve'. IMO, I think you should stop trying to see everything your way  

OMG! They call Bill Gates and this guy begins to rant about Microsoft?

You think being great or changing the world is about coding? No! It's about dreaming alive! He wanted a world and he did his best create that world? Wasn't he working with IBM and telling them the type of PC they should make? A PC that everyone could afford? Did IBM listen? And you mention Steve Jobs who barely ever had time to do anything good? His arrogance nearly cost him Apple. A smart smooth-talker who is always too protective of his ideas and talks about his products like they are made-in-heaven.

The people who really change the world are not necessarily inventors. These guys in front of the media are great visionaries and motivators; and that's all it takes to be a giant success.

Bill Gates, Google and Facebook (Not Mark though )

So essentially, I'm saying Bill Gates

Where and When? And how come you are asking how much?

Esin waju:
LOL at fbt, we gotta collect our `entitlements`from these people nah, so basically what you are saying is i that i won`t be able to use the IDM?

Well, that's up to you to find out Fbt doesn't have a legal helpdesk I know of

Esin waju:
I can`t download with my internet download manager. I keep getting this `connection closed by server` and some other annoying stuff like that so techies in the house please what`s the solution to this problem?

You can't download because you are using fbt with a server that is getting too many requests and trying to moderate their server load by closing some connections

Try this challenge

A zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. An equilibrium index of this array is any integer P such that 0 ≤ P < N and the sum of elements of lower indices is equal to the sum of elements of higher indices, i.e.
A[0] + A[1] + , + A[P−1] = A[P+1] + , + A[N−2] + A[N−1].
Sum of zero elements is assumed to be equal to 0. This can happen if P = 0 or if P = N−1.
For example, consider the following array A consisting of N = 7 elements:
A[0] = -7 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 5
A[3] = 2 A[4] = -4 A[5] = 3
A[6] = 0
P = 3 is an equilibrium index of this array, because A[0] + A[1] + A[2] = A[4] + A[5] + A[6].
P = 6 is also an equilibrium index, because: A[0] + A[1] + A[2] + A[3] + A[4] + A[5] = 0 and there are no elements with indices greater than 6.
P = 7 is not an equilibrium index, because it does not fulfill the condition 0 ≤ P < N.
Write a function
class Solution { public int equi(int[] A); }
that, given a zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers, returns any of its equilibrium indices. The function should return −1 if no equilibrium index exists.
Assume that:
N is an integer within the range [0, 10,000,000];
each element of array A is an integer within the range [−2,147,483,648, 2,147,483,647].
For example, given array A such that
A[0] = -7 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 5
A[3] = 2 A[4] = -4 A[5] = 3
A[6] = 0
the function may return 3 or 6, as explained above.
Complexity:
expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
expected worst-case space complexity is O(N), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).

Just to inform you guys, if you're interested in the Google Internship programs, you might want to perform a test on Codility. Just got inside information that they may use the site to test for credibility of your programming skills.

I've seen this stuff, it didn't work for me. My PC wouldn't just recognize it no matter what I tried.

Guys try these :

In fact reviving dead laptop battery is simple work. You can use some physical methods to activation the dead battery cells. Usually you can revive dead laptop battery using familiar tools. You only need a refrigeratory, a locked bag, a charger. Then do the following works step by step. You shall revive your dead laptop battery.

First put the dead laptop battery in a zip lock.

Then put the zip into refrigeratory and keep it in freezer for 14 - 15 hours.

After waiting for a long time, take the dead laptop battery out of refrigeratory .

Using clean and soft cloth to dry the battery and get the battery to room temperature (about 20° - 25°)

In the end fully charging and discharging the battery for 3 - 4 cycles.

Now you would see that your dead battery holding up charge for 1-2 hours.

Right there. How do you fully charge and discharge a dead battery for 3 - 4 cycles? This is just some approach and mind you, there are different battery types and doing this on a dry cell is completely pointless (if I remember correctly).

CRAP! Only my Internet connection alone can buy all the bandwidth they've got.

Between, let me assure you guys that the Google Universities program is present in 7 schools right now, of which AUN or whatever is not among.

http://www.google.com/africa/universityprograms/inst/faq.html

Also, even the Google student Ambassadors program recently launched in Nigeria does not have AUN included.

http://google-africa..com/2011/04/google-student-ambassador-program.html

if there was anything like that, it would have been announced in G-Nigeria, and I was there and it didn't happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who posted this is a freaking foolish AUN member

As for the claim, it's pointless to argue it. LOL!

@ugotuf: You are not sure you have tried all those and it doesn't work. The only screenshot you posted, you made a mistake in the command. And additionally, hibernate wouldn't work unless you have your display driver installed (unless you're running windows 7 +)
