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!

oscarvicto:
greetings to the house, i have two questionI FORMATTED I MY HP DV5 VISTA LAPTOP RECENTLY, AND BLUE SCREEN KEEPS COMING UP, WHAT DOES IT MEAN. THE BLUE SCREEN JUST KEEPS SHOWING BLUE

Yeah, we know blue screen are blue in color. Can you tell us the error message on the blue screen? Why did you format your laptop? Was it having some hard disk problem or something?

Congrats Dragnet,

ps: What's this Seun and Mukina thing all about? Are they married? I thought Nairaland is owned by Seun?

Deyoungsanetor:
Pls guys my zinox laptop,is regecting my pasword,pls cn any1 halp me out

You mean rejecting? Can you prove that you are the owner? Contact me on relaxtuners at gmail dot com

dickt:
my laptop charges intermittently but sometimes, it charges continuously without stopping n continuing. wen its on it doesnt charge at all. the charging port is tested o.k. wat could be wrong?

You might want to specify more details about your laptop and the charger you are using.

ugotuf:
this the new msg i'm getting

That's because you have not deleted the hiberfil.sys (just enable system/hidden files in folder option and delete from drive c or follow pc busayo's instruction.

PC busayo:
2nd Options

Click start, my computer look for your C DRIVE

Click this link to follow the simple instructions


http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15140/what-is-hiberfil.sys-and-how-do-i-delete-it/

@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 +)

ZIM DRILL:
am serious man

some people here rush to ask us here when they can just google the problem and solve the problem themselve

Yeah, I know, but on taking a closer look at his case, you would have realized it's not something that can be solved with Google. It's an internal application problem and he doesn't even know the application giving the problem yet. It's not that simple and besides, don't expect everyone can easily find solutions like you on the Internet.

ZIM DRILL:
dont be spoon feed you can google the 0x80000003 problem

That's not a nice way to reply ZIM

@melotech: You should specify the title of the Window so we can know the application that encounters this error when you boot. From the way you sound, it might be might be your userinit. Once we find out the culprit, we will be in a better position to determine the next step

bxcode:
I cant install firefox 6.02 on my laptop compaq P CQ56, if i begin the installation process it stops midway without any message, any help please.

Have you tried downloading another version of the program? Do you have a pre-existing installation of firefox? What OS are you using?

Jeophri:
no need for that anymore

No need for what? Memory allocated to what? Don't assume people are in your mind, state your questions clearly.

Sweetdoct247:
I think I've found a better way to put my question. How can I share laptop's internet connection with my phone nokia c7 and/ipod touch. The laptop internet connection is through multilinks usb 3g modem

Download Connectify and set up a wireless connection using your modem as the source of the Internet Connection. Then you can browse via your phone/iPod.

ROGUE!!!

Even so, that will be practically a wrong way to go about it. The only reason why finding the poisoned bottle should be attempted is if we don't want anyone to die, and as such, the perpetrator should be found.

[quote author=Number_One link=topic=752857.msg9126957#msg9126957 date=1315784872]This doesn't need any codes. If it takes a month for the poison to get active. So Quarantine all bottles and wait for a month to pass. The bad bottle will be discovered.[/quote]Even if you isolate each bottle, nobody says the poison will do anything to the bottle after 1 month. Btw, I just read the solution online and it sounds like a wack idea . . . even for testing purposes.

lol, I've been trying this for several days and although I know I'm getting a headway, I know I still have a long way to go

I have seen intelligent chabots like elbot.com, it seems to be the best and doesn't appear to be stalling you all the time like the other chatbots around.

^^^You're welcome

Fayimora:
Tough? I can handle it but the question really is, who has the time?

Eh, somehow, I think that's a pretty cheap escape clause.

great replies @Fayimora and naija_swag. I'm glad you both agree it's the greatest challenge of programming, and even more glad you could not possibly think about attempting it And I still doubt there's any existing tough programmers on NL.

Chatbots are becoming common these days, but there is even a greater challenge.

How can one write a program to generate a correct sentence?

This is something a human being can do effortlessly but it's difficult for a software.

An even greater challenge is: Understanding a sentence

If a sentence goes like: 'Obi is a boy'. We instantly understand that Obi is a name of a human being who happens to be a male under the age of 18. We also make instant guesses like Obi may be a student, based on the context of the sentence.

Task: Write a program to understand a 1-3 word input, and also respond with a 1-3 word input.

You can write your own custom dictionary and tell us which words are allowed.

no cheating, it's not required but you should show source code

so you will design a scheme to kill people for testing? I'd rather design a scheme to trace the spy and make him/her tell which one poisoned in less than three days :p

I have an unnecessary suggestion, you can make the site bar float on top and the clock realtime

@karnip:
The data actually changes abruptly. Just when you are finding a pattern, the pattern changes. The only thing I could say is consistent in the table is that each line consists of:
CP AQ AR TA GE CA LE VI LI SC SA
but even this is not true because 'm3' contains the code 'PA'. That is the single occurrence of that code in the whole table which screws up determining the whole pattern thing. This means the linked list will not approach will not work.

At the moment, the only way i see to solving this thing is to not try and find the pattern. Instead store this data into a hash table (dictionary for python guys like me).

@skydancer:
where did you get this challenge from? If the solution beats human intelligence, how is artificial intelligence supposed to go at it

lol, I agree with everything. I have been given three more of stuff like this, and I am simply resorting to storing the table data in a file and retrieving the codes with indexed jagged arrays. I believe the data has a pattern and the main goal of this thread was to create an application that will be able to find a pattern itself by continuously the data and determining a common pattern of occurrence. Eg:
Anaylze row 1: 2CP, 3AQ, etc. check relationship between the numbers in different ways. etc

Then display the series determined and how it was found.

I gave an easier example to experiment with as well. I believe if you can do something to analyze the previous example, a software can solve something above human intelligence (like the Watson Jeopardy game)

Abeg helepe me oh any body.i trued copying some file from an external hard drive.na since then my trouble start!!a message wiith WINDOWS EXPLORER HAS STOPPED WORKING,WINDOWSIS RESTARTING is displayed.the desktop then freezes,restarts and then it begins all over again.i've done system restore,scanned the system,regedit,diskchk,disabled third party servces,scan disk,updated windows EVERYTHING.BUt still no changes.Any techqies in the house that can help.PLEASE!!!!

I believe a malware infection has taken place. Download and install ROBOSAM from www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Removal-Tools/Robosys-Security-Anti-Malware.shtml
Then use it and scan your system and tell us the result

jmeck:
@rinn Gpass is not working with my system. Whcich one is PROXYMITRON? how do i configure this,

jmeck, sorry, I think you have been fooled. The file you were told to download is a modified version of Gpass but it looks very suspicious (probably a backdoor) and will remain in your PC even after you delete from startup entry. Open the file location from your startup folder in start menu and delete it.
