this annoying child

My thoughts exactly

4llerbuntu:
^^ dude u need to get off my case! are you stalking me? haha!

i thot it sounded too pat, it was either the dude actually nows little, or he was trying to be clever, havent u seen people giving stories of how they forgot their system password?
well since the guy confirms he is a noob and he managed to get ubuntu on his system on his own etc, i think that answers your questions. lay off this winblows/linux thingy its stale jare!

My comments had nothing to do with windows/linux and everything to do with your snarky reply to the fellow, asking him if he was the real owner of the laptop.

It takes absolutely no effort to install Ubuntu in a single boot method for a newbie. Just put in the CD and follow the prompts. Why would you express surprise at him 'managing' to install Ubuntu on his own?

Me, stalking you? When last did i respond to any of your posts? Don't give yourself airs, boy.

omar22:
Dumbo!!!

Did I say my life depends on it? get your facts right,

Look, you're in the UK. The British fought a war for this, so go ask them!

We in Nigeria have other (local) issues to worry about. I paid N105 for a litre of fuel in Port Harcourt yesterday and you expect me to worry myself over Falklands?

PurestBoy:
Foolish Edo people

You're such an example of wisdom

</Sarcasm>

Anyone who believes a cell phone call can ignite petrol fumes should go back to school ASAP.
This urban myth has been disproved time and time again, Mythbusters have taken time out to disprove this myth yet people keep circulating this?

As to the Original post, it's merely a chain mail. I received a similar email just yesterday (with the words changed a bit).

90% of the time, the real culprit is static electricity. However, there's always some dumbass nearby to blame the matter on mobile phones.

Mbeki:
Because a fool will never ask you why you directed him to take an action.
Lord Lugard dream is born out of wickedness, he and his masters back then in Europe didn't want to see a united african kingdom, that was why he joined people with dissimilar interest together, fooling them to believe they are one.
The funniest thing is that the collective goons in Lord Lugard, dream country always refers themselves as one Nigeria, whereas they know deep inside them that they don't love each other

Can you people quit with the whining already? There are many countries around the world where dissimilar peoples have been joined together and are living and working together in peace.
I cringe anytime i see more of you people blaming Lord Lugard for their failings.

if Nigerians cannot take responsibility for the poor state of the nation, then there is no hope for us. If you like, blame Lord Lugard for the current fuel scarcity and Yar'Adua's absence. Nonsense.

4llerbuntu:
are you sure that pc belongs to you? becos it takes a lot for a noob to sole boot ubuntu on his pc, then decide he doesnt like it and wants to remove it,

So you're saying Ubuntu isn't 'noob' friendly?

4llerbuntu:
besides, did you install it on your own? if u truly did, how come u know nothing about your hardware? it didnt come with ubuntu so how come? what os was on it before?

Where did you get the idea that he knows nothing about his hardware? Isnt it the whole point of a decent OS that you can just stick in the install CD and get a working OS install in 30 mins? Especially if you aren't doing any fancy dual booting.

You seem all too eager to make these assumptions about the fellow.

mcccchhhhheeeeeeeeeewwwww!

Na CPU sef? was beginning to wonder where d screen was! dis M sef!

There's a name for computers with the guts behind keyboards and attached to screens.

They call 'em Laptops.

slimghost:
techboy has just 3 posts, Abdulmutallab has 4 posts. Something tells me you two just signed up just to defend the inbred son of a reterd called Ohakim. You two should get lost now.

Nah, Abdulmutab isn't with techboy. if you look at his post carefully, he's clearly against techboy, just that he doesn't know how to use the 'quote' function properly

Is it not the same Imo Governor who sat calmly watching in February 2008 while his orderlies brutalised a mother of three in lagos?

We are not deceived.

techboy:
How can a governor flog, kick and headbutt one man who happens not to be a threat in anyway? What has he done to deserve that?

What did Elizabeth Udoudo do to deserve the beating meted out to her, a beating supervised by Ohakim? The man has a record of overseeing brutality, why should we believe him now?

And you registered today just to post this defence of your Governor, abi?

The way some people want to equate the benevolence of the USA Government with that of God is very alarming.


Please google and find out if the USA was not the first country to use the elements of nature in warfare. When they developed rainmaking technology and caused rain in Vietnam for months, how do you think they achieved that? Do you people even believe that the rainmaking technology was not first tested in Africa or South America before it was taken to the warfront?


Someone was trying to make ridicule that soon conspiracy theorists will claim the USA can make rain in the Kalahari. Of course they can! Israel too Silver Iodide and made snow in the middle east. China took same Silver Iodide and made rain to clear dust and smoke particles in the polluted atmosphere just before the Olympics. The question is why the USA is always trying to weaponize everything.


Someone else says the Haiti earthquake is 1000 times the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Well, most of the nuclear bombs today are thousands of times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Japan. So?


This is the problem I always face everytime I visit Nairaland. Not ignorance from the ignorant, but ignorance among the educated and well travelled. Are people here trying to say that they first thought of an earthquake weapon before the US military thought of developing it? The Native Americans have been using rainmaking technology for hundreds of years, but the moment that US researchers laid hands on it, it was used as a weapon on Vietnam.



People are asking what there is to gain? When the USA tested the specific effects of nuclear fallouts on the people of the Marshall Islands, what did they stand to gain? Was it oil or clay or whatever resource? No! To find a victim on whom to test a multi-trillion dollar research weapon is enough to be gained.


When the US Military tested the effects of nuclear fallouts alone on the Marshall Islands, was it because of the clay there? Or because of the oil? Or simply because such a weapon just required guinea pigs in a third world country?


The USA will always have standby troops and good response time for another country, but when it's Louisiana or New Orleans, that's when they'll be handicapped and that's when they'll spend days and weeks and months trying to get aid through, and that's when their FEMA will be lost as to what to do, that's when the hand of the presidency would be slow to sign.



Now we hear that the USS Carl Vinson was already in Haiti within hours to start carrying out nuclear desalination of water. Feralination indeed! Or cleaning up any evidence? The eagerness of the USA in Haiti is nothing more than cleaning up the evidence and gathering specific onsite experiment results. Finito!

You too? I must say i'm not surprised, though.

Seeding clouds to create rain has been in existence since the 1930s. And the US use of rainmaking technology is merely the use of what has been known since the 1930s to prolong the monsoon rains merely to ensure that roads for heavy vietnamese trucks remain boggy and unpassable. Hardly the 'weapon' you insinuate it is. Oya, how lethal was this 'rain weapon'?

You display an unfortunate lack of reading skills. No one here claimed that the energy released by the earthquake was '1000 times the power of the hiroshima bomb'. El Razur said it's 1000 times the energy generation capacity of all the power plants on the planet! If you have difficulty reading, i can easily arrange for evening classes for you.

But let's humour you for a moment. let's assume the US drilled down into haiti's soil and detonated the most powerful nuclear device known to man. Oya, where's the telltale indications on the surface?

You bluster on and on about 'ignorant people'. You're a prime example.

But you're an amusing diversion. At least you didn't go on and on about H.A.A.R.P

otawa:
Tja, what do you expect?

This is Nigeria.

The land of the cowards.

The land will evil rules over good.

And you who sits down thousands of miles away from Nigeria and wages battle over the safety of the Internet, what are you?

reindeer:
I thought so too!
This america is responsible for everything, do you know they gave yaradua churg-strauss syndrome so they can get our oil fields?infact i have it on good authority that they planned the jos crisis so they can bring in special forces to end the fracas.
I have proof believe me! walahi i get proof falafala that they are even planning to cause nothern cows become sterile so the north will eventually die of lack of meat and then america with the help of Igbos will rule over the stubbron west!
Please guys,is PressTV so powerful as to have infiltrated minds so deeply?That station is the most paranoid of TVs,NTA under abacha was more objective than that iranian charade.
I read through this thread from the beginning and no one has given any serious science as back up for the rumour, texazzpete gave some sound science no one has disproved, el razur raised some concerns, no answer!yet we just believe the almighty america can cause rains to fall in the kalahari.
I have to stop here and go off this thread so i dont start believing in some outlandish flights of fancy like this cock and bull story.
I guess i'm uneducated anyways.

Yes you are uneducated!! How can you say you don't know that it was the CIA that set Tiger Woods up with those girls? Don't you know that swine flu was a secret weapon created by the CIA to invade Mexico?
Didn't you notice that there was hardly any harmattan in Nigeria this year? That is H.A.A.R.P in action.

Okay, if you say the CIA is not doing all these, explain to me why they have not found BigFoot or the Abominable Snowman yet. Or are you saying you do not know that the Loch Ness monster is a CIA sleeper agent put there since 1648 to spy on Europe (yes, the H.A.A.R.P allowed time travel so that the CIA could go back in time to 1648)

How can you say that you don't know that the best place to get reliable news is from hastily created websites with dubious theories? And what is this 'Law of Physics' you're so fixated with: The CIA has long since surpassed such trivial things!!!


By the way, have you read 'Angels don't play this H.A.A.R.P'? It solves all problems in life, you don't even need to use your common sense after you read it!!

OPSM UK (Official Playstation Mag UK) gave it a 9/10.
Still an excellent, mindblowing game, but best game ever made? You wish!

PSM3 isn't exactly an unbiased source. and we've heard all the 'best game ever created' hype before for many other games, only for them to fail to deliver.
I really wish you'd stop making uninformed comments on Natal, at least not until you've seen what it can really do.

@biina
don't even bother. These guys are not even remotely interested in common sense.
When you throw up a challenge, the next thing they go looking for is a website to quote.

When you mention the laws of physics and plate tectonics, their only defense is to ask you "Have you read 'Angels don't play this H.A.A.R.P' by Nick Begich" as if the book gives them an excuse not to use their brains.

even worse, he did not see fit to include the Processor speed.

Intel has long ceased to use the Pentium brand for their processors. You're in the wrong line of business, my friend.

kosovo:
hehehe
Gran torismo 5 Will end the console war,
Ritchy and co, do not know the history of the playstation brand and the relevance of Gran torismo series,
what we are seeing now all happened in the days of the PS1 and PS2, Ritchy is too busy playing halo and listening to Microsoft, Time to Grow!!!

true gamers do not want/need to wait 5 years for one racing game. not when there are many good racing titles out there too.
As to your Halo jibe, at least you know more people play Halo online than MAG and Killzone 2 combined.

agathamari:
i know the history of haiti, i also know that the over 70% of haiti's economy is based on trade with the us. again there are far more cost effective ways to "take over" a country. especialy a country that would welcome you with open arms.

as for this so called weapon tell me this. the energy the earthquake produced is equal to 32 gigtons that is 1,000 times that relased in nagasaki. that much force applied on the surface would have created a shockwave that would have made tunguska look like a bad windstorm. the entire island would have been leveled. depending on the nature of said "weapon" there would have been a EMP, which there wasnt. that force applied on the surface to cause an earthquake would have left behind noticible ground distruptions, instead the plate shifted 8.1KM down with no ground disruption? this "weapon" would have caused compretion damage to buildings and trees, instead there was only vibration and sheer damage. did the us military find a way to negate the laws of physics and quantum mechanics as well?

Please do not appeal to them to use common sense. They've abdicated all claims to having that a long time ago.

Do not talk about the laws of Physics. As far as they are concerned, the 'CIA' is more powerful than Physics and have conquered all such laws.
Hurricane machines? Check. Earthquake weapons? Check. UFOs? Check!

THey are so dumb that if any of those hastily scrawled websites 'confirms' and 'reveals' that the CIA has mastered Faster-than-light travel, they'd believe that with ease.

I've begged them (especially pcmecon) to explain how a so called 'weather weapon' that works on transmitting high-frequency waves into the ionosphere can move tectonic plates with no surface impact. Instead of wracking their brains, guess what they do? Provide yet another web link with similarly wild allegations.

Ikengawo:
LMAO! 
white ppl are queers

That's racism, my dear fellow.

Yes, keep burying your heads in the sand.
That is why i am kinda happy at all the ATM scams and glo and mtn winner scams that are rampant in Nigeria today. For too long, Nigerians have been indifferent to the evils of 419. At least now we're all feeling the pains, we'll now be spurred on to do something about it.

utotomi50:
Its a scam incase you havent realized. He created more than one user account and is using them to comment about himself.

IMHO, entinvest himself is either ittechvent himself or is in cahoots with the fellow

pcmecom:
@beaf
I am not like him, and can never be like him. He is unique in his own ways.
Now that I have answered your question!!!

Are you a gentleman?

where do you see all these websites, sef? Do you troll the internet, deliberately looking out for these kind of websites, or what?

i took one look at that site, read one front page article where 70% of the commenters were discussing ways of killing police and i realized that it was a site for ignorant, misguided people.
In other words, it's a site you'll feel at home at.

Beaf:
This pcmecom is rapidly surpassing becomerich in the nuisance and daft article stakes.

Agreed!

@EzeUche
please answer the question: Revenge against who?

An interesting read,

http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Opinion/Editorial/5527739-182/little_ends_kudos_to_the_us.csp

No matter how well Fashola performs (and i believe he's doing a good job) we must NEVER forget that the No 1 Enemy in Nigeria is corruption.
if the allegations against him hold water, why not let him defend himself? It is childish to dismiss every allegation against a political officer because he is 'doing well'.

Exactly!

Fraud is a very serious allegation, and by admitting they made it without any concrete proof, they've effectively destroyed their credibility.

i expect the House to file suit against them for defamation.

trueword:
why is BBC trying to single out nigerians. The U.S. media a long time ago told people to beware of scammers on the haiti stuff. It's not just nigerians, if the story is even true. Nigerians are always villified with the scammer stuff as if they are the only ones that do it. Aren't there americans, europeans that create these fake websites that look like the real company so that they can steal your information and go on shopping spree with you name and info? What about all the identity theft that happens?   They need to just stop trying to purposefully blame nigerian all the time

Perhaps it's only the Nigerian group they were able to trace effectively? I mean, how many scammers do you know with any sort of acumen in online security?

Colombians aren't the only ones in the drug trade, but they are now the poster child of drug traffickers. I'm pretty sure when you think organized crime, your mind goes to the italian mafia. So too is Nigeria now the poster child for 419 scams. heck, the name '419' comes from Nigeria!

If you people spent 1/10th the energy you spend on whining on actually going after these 419ers here in Nigeria, this problem will not exist.

, Yet you stridently claim not to be a conspiracy theorist

Dede1:
I do not ask for apologies but would always remind the Biafrans not to forget the word- “REVENGE” as our battle cry

Revenge against who?
