This fight never finish?

What a funny caption.

Commendable. We do have some good spirited Nigerians.

Good Diplomacy, but the damage is already done.

basbone: do you code in vb.net?

Yes I do. It's currently my default language. I also code with C# and Java on rare occasions. I used to also code with C++ and PL/SQL, but I've lost most of the syntax for PL/SQL.

You want to know why? Look at the thread below with details of US claiming ownership of Ebola and even registering a patent for it.

Reporting these days often lack objectivity.

Ok. Now what next?

Is this for real?

Both APC & PDP may have their plans to rig the election, but who documents such things?
Is there anyone who believes this kind of story?

This Abacha loot no dey finish?

zadok60: i got d information also.i heard it came from kogi state,n all d pple from kogi in lagos r advise to do so..

Does Kogi have Ebola cases? How did they confirm that this works?

You guys just seeing this? I saw this from last year.

Does one now need a B.Sc to be a conductor?

Just kidding.

They had to wait till they close in on their embassy. Why are they neglecting the mess they started.

basbone: hi all, i believe a good programmer is one who increase his knowledge on what he knows on a particular language, but a better programmer is one who increase his knowledge on what he know about programming. i am about to follow the route of better programmers.....that is, learning a new language, so advice me on which new language to learn.....not old stuff like java, vb, csharp, php, etc. Secondly, do you think i should deprecate my Visual Basic.Net skills considering the fact most people dont use it again?
Please i need your advise. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about what you mean by mentioning java, vb (if referring to .NET), csharp and php as old stuff.
And where do you get the idea that people don't use Visual Basic.Net again?

If you check most list of popular languages today, you will find that Visual Basic.Net would make most of top 10 or at least top 15.

I believe being a better programmer is more about your skills in problem solving not number of languages. If you can program in this many languages (instead of specializing) but can't solve serious problems, what would be the use? When considering a new language I think in the line of the strengths of the language and how many others are using it since you'll often find yourself needing to work in a team.

Aside from Swift, if you should choose languages like Rust or Avail, you may have the bragging rights for the only user of the language in Africa if that's what you want. You can also look up a comprehensive list of languages here; Maybe you can start learning them in alphabetical order as listed.

Best of luck.

Supported. Seun this would be a nice idea. Fraudsters would be discouraged.

doriseasterwood: done!!

Hmm. Very creative. Get the site url from the client, generate the analysis on http://seositecheckup.com, send to the client and get $5.

Good one.

In the past I've received e-mails from friends advertising some products like weight loss. Some just had had some luring message to open a link (mostly short code links) and I suspected those mails were not from the e-mail owners. When I reached them on phone, they confirmed my fear. I suspect that most of those e-mail addresses are hijacked when unsuspecting users clicked links from mails they think are coming from their friends.

Don't follow links that you are not sure where they would lead you. When in doubt better confirm what to expect from the sender. They may not have been the ones who sent the link.

This offer is still available.

Capnd143: which part of a.k? Uyo? Am in Eket, And would it be posible to get the IDE you own already? Would really love to! The mere mention of my vb 6 studio makes me wanna cry!

I'm in Uyo. Look at my signature below for my phone number.

Really? PDP or APC makes no difference to me. But is this really news?
What weight do these 9 parties combined carry? Except for Accord and APGA, I'm not sure I've ever heard of the others.

Each day, new tricks.

Capnd143: love your analysis, but like i said am self taught, never got a formal education on this stuffs, so pardon my ignorance. And i live in Akwa ibom state and unlike lagos, its quite hard to get your hands on this tools, even if i knew, downloading is a no! no! , with the crappy internet speed around here, it is a case of hilarious combination of fustration! How do i get my hands on these these please!

You are even based in Akwa Ibom. I'm in Akwa Ibom too. It's difficult to get these stuff over here, but you can get someone in Lagos to buy & send it to you. The latest you can grab, the better. VB6 is just damn too old and a serious waste of time.

Capnd143: Thanks. About your prisec school software, i had a similar idea with vb6 earlier, but i decided to postpone the project becos i was quite new to programming world or so i taught! I would to get an overview of how your solution works. Thanks

I have sent you a mail. You may want to delete your e-mail address from your last post.

Capnd143: how relevant is the .NET in mobile development and which the best microsoft language to learn?

Like I said, I'm not into mobile development (yet). But I think the following resources should be of help.
