Only three days are left until the start FIFA World Cup.
Here are 32 amazing drawings of the 32 nations taking part in the World Cup inspired by African street signage and movie posters.

Enjoy

Naija police for show

Well, I'm seeing this for the first time .

How about you

One more - Please do not walk naked or half naked in front of the TV while ANY game is on for you may end up catching cold.

Embedded programming is quite interesting, this thread reminds me of when i was task with interfacing 4x4 keypad with 16x2 LCD using ATMEL AT90S8515.

@C++,

   

*  A hacker is a person intensely interested in the arcane and recondite workings of any computer operating system. Most often, hackers are programmers. As such, hackers obtain advanced knowledge of operating systems and programming languages. They may know of holes within systems and the reasons for such holes. Hackers constantly seek further knowledge, freely share what they have discovered, and never, ever intentionally damage data.

    * A cracker is a person who breaks into or otherwise violates the system integrity of remote machines, with malicious intent. Crackers, having gained unauthorized access, destroy vital data, deny legitimate users service, or basically cause problems for their targets. Crackers can easily be identified because their actions are malicious.

So hackers are therefore good people  not the evil genius as being seen by most people on earth!

Hmmm ,  interesting thread.

One question though; what's the difference between a hacker and a cracker

@Odunnu - I will prefer some1 with good character and also God fearing. Thanks

@Linn - my pics

@xlfemzy: You are warmly welcomed to our world  I mean the world of programming.

I promise to assist you every step of the way.

Please drop me a pm and tell me a bit about yourself and how I can assist.

Well I don't know if you have come across these sites.  Some of them have made me what I am today.

Is your C/C++ programming assignment/projects/jobs giving you a headache? Drop me a line and i will gladly assist FREE of charge.

I mean FREE of charge.

I will share my work email address which i check almost every 200ms with you once i'm convinced that you are not a JOKE 

Web development is a sub-set of programming. In order words, most programmers are web developers but not all web developers are programmers.

I wish Lagos could be transformed into a mini paradise below.

I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish ,

Even though our population would be drastically reduced by 90%- from 140mil to 14mil.

At the end of the day, sanity would prevail at every quarter of our society. Political offices would be fairly contested for, police oppresion would disappear, politicians would not need special body guards etc. Their would be sanity within our transport system because all bus conductors would have been killed.

There wouldn't be any need for operation fire-for-fire or some sort because their is fire in every home.

Take a look at an African country like South Africa; the only thing missing in their constitution is death penalty - every South African is allowed by law to own a registered firearm and to use it when the need arises.

Please let's all clamour for legalization of firearm and get rid of these "rotten" politicians.

By wait a minute - who would debate and pass the bill into law? the politicans. I promise us all they would never pass the bill because they know that should they pass the bill; THEY ARe TOAST

Guys,
We need DIVINE intervention like in yesterday.

Does anyone know if PCB(Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing companies exist in our dear country Nigeria?

Any useful link/contact would be greatly appreciated.

BASIC - Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code

Any newbies to programming may have a look at BASIC, I took QBASIC in first semester of my year one at the higher institution.

I would love to see somebody reminding me of the good old days.

Thanks delarontus,
I am happy to hear and read that they are finally settling down.

To the doubting Thomas(es), Nigeria would be great again. Eating 3 square meal is not a concern to an average person on the street in the SADC countries.

If we give all the necessary support to these Zimbs, I am very sure, hunger would definitely be a thing of the past.

Thanks once again delarontus for the feedback.

I learnt that some Zimbabwean white farmers are now in Kwara state.

How are they doing? I mean
[list]
[li]Are they coping well?[/li]
[li]Do we see them rescuing our ailing agricultural sector?[/li]

Please advice.

Guys,
Please take it easy on this young lad. I am sure the story would be the opposite if he were a girl.

Big Country, Big MONEY

I was a delegate at the just concluded GSM Africa conference that was held in Cape Town, South Africa.

"Big Country, Big Money" was the answer given by one speaker from Informa Telecoms on why many GSM operators are striving to set their foot in Nigeria.

GSM has really put our beloved country at the forefront of emerging markets in Africa.

Do you think that we can experience the same surge if we privatise other crippled services like NEPA etc?

forever

You can stop your washing machine if it starts "whining", or better still some washing machines stop "whining" automatically. Once your wife starts, she NEVER stops.

Guys,
I don't usually recommend C/C++ as a programming language of choice to newbies. In fact, I know of 2 people who back-pedalled to learning VB.

C++ is a strongly type language. It's a language that assumes a solid background in maths and logic.
I have written many activex and COM servers for some of my VB developers.

Ask VB developers, they will tell you how they hate interacting with Windows APIs.

If VB was written in C++ and Java tends to be like C/C++, then I would agree to the fact that C/C++ is the mother of them all.

Like I said earlier, if you want speed,power and control over hardware and/or peripherals, if you want to know when to RTS to a device attached to RS-232 port without activex and the likes, then go 4 C/C++.

Regards,
Emmanuel.
