Name is pronounced "chew-it-tell edge-oh-for"

Am i the only one that find this funny?

@ Donzman

You listen to Victor Nwaifo too? Well, Here is simini simini. I don't understand a damn thing he's saying but you can't mistake the ~oh oh oh ~ part. Great music.

Sure. Lots more. Will upload em when i have the time. Anyone interested can get Oliver de Coque's Peoples Club, All fingers are not equal and Star united here. Enjoy.

Donzman:
Ynot, where you dey?

Check your mail.

Its strange how emegwali went on media rampage selling his father of the internet image then. The same emeagwali is now refusing to provide evidence of his claims.

Here are some videos from Google.

You are welcome. She's classic, aint she? I don't have the famous love nwantiti track though. I just sent you Zigaraha ozi (Now or never) by sunny okosun - the soon to be Biafran national anthem. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Now, can someone find it in their heart to email me Agu n'eche mba that i asked.

Can anyone be kind enough to e-mail me Agu n'eche mba by Sis Chinyere? I will send you Nelly Uchendu or any other collections you want (that is, if i have what you want).

My personal favorite - amp'd mobile commercial.

Whoz miss nairaland btw

This is another clear indication that you don't dash people democracy - such like Bush promised to do in middle east.

Our crude oil has made in Nigeria tag.

The happiest people in the world are those for whom every day of going to work is really going to play -- they love to do what they do to make a living. Coders who love to code. Cooks who love to cook. Teachers who love to teach. Politicians who love to lie, cheat, accept bribes, and control the lives of others while basking in the warm glow of the public eye. So decide what you LIKE and then go for it so you can have FUN doing it later and hopefully make money in the process.

Remember too that learning is all about learning to learn on your own -- in this day and age, you don't have to take courses in something to learn it, and the earlier you start the more successful you'll be.

Never doubt the spending capabilities of our politicians.

A study (i can't find the link) showed that 2/3 of homeless Americans are veteran. Thats why i can never understand the 'i support our troops' song by politicians/government. It seems once you are on uniform, we sing your praises. Get off the force and you are just another number - and on your own.

If true (i.e the study), you might argue that being homeless has a lot to do with the person's psychological state and not the good 'ol laziness. Treat their state of mind and they will get off the streets. But again, some people will infact rather sleep on the street even if you convert all the golf courses in this country to Hilton hotel for the homeless.

Seun:
That would not be too wise. The price to performance ratio of newer processors is much higher. If you buy enough 486 processors to equal the processing power of a Pentium IV, the pentium IV would be cheaper.

You clearly missed my point. I used the 486 as an example of the level of computing power you can achieve with off the shelf components - creating parallel computing that will otherwise cost a whole lot of money. Remember, countries like the US restricts exportation of supercomputers to nations that might use the technology to analyze/build nuclear weapon or crack intercepted spy encrypted messages. Now with Beowulf network (read, parallel computing), you can have same supercomputer down in your basement relatively cheaper than a cray. BTW cray cost millions of dollars.

Now the question is, what can you do with a Beowulf? Well, it depends on your interest which might include;
[list]
[li]Web application with heavy traffic. Google is a good example[/li]
[li]Animation movies, video editing as you mentioned. The movie; Shrek was rendered with a Linux powered Beowulf[/li]
[li]Weather forecast[/li]
[li]Scientific research - mathematical, bio, nuclear, DNA, etc[/li]
[li]Have fun poking underneath parallel processing[/li]
[li]Anything that requires comparative computing calculation or bit crunching, etc[/li]

The problem is, most people don't see the need for research institutions/centers in Nigeria or the need to acquire a supercomputer or even what to do with one. Of the top 500 supercomputers list in the world, there is only one in Africa (South Africa). Take a look at Duke University's arrays of clusters.

@ sbucareer
I will love to see that too. But you forgot to mention Japan. IMO, they are leading as far as chip technology is concerned. Like the Chinese, they ain't sharing either.

@rof-lmao
Yes, the peripherals limits the capabilities of a fast processor but we are talking beyond desktop application now where the need of such devices are mostly not needed.

If you ever need a high processing computer power, you can build a Beowulf cluster with off the shelf cheap computer components. With a coupla 486, you can build a complex supercomputer with gigaflop power. If you don't know what a Beowulf is, you can read it up here or google it.

Increase in processor speed is not only necessary but will be in much demand as applications and operating systems get more complex. As you know, most programs of 700MHz era were less complicated, less memory intensive and there were less demand for computational power.

But i don't think we will ever see a 20GHz chip with the present chip design technology. The reason is in the physics and materials involved in chip design. The more they compress the transistors, the less space you have to cool em off. There is also decrease in the distance a signal has to travel (for synchronization purpose).

The empirical observation in 1965 known today as Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit, for minimum component cost, doubles every 24 months no longer holds. At least in terms of doubling the size. Not unless someone discovers a suitable less resistive conductor/metal with same doping property as gold or boron and/or efficient way to cool down the heat.

Don't worry i will get your information from AKO and we will know who is a liar.

Txlonghorn:
Oh my God why are you trying to hate on me? I said I started my Military life in the ROTC in high school. Hey mister know all please go google ROTC. and see what you get You are one stupid ass wipe


I also said I was an Aircraft Maintenace Specialist Apache Helicopter is an AIRCRAFT. Dude you need help for real.

Get your story straight. ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) is officer's course. If you were in ROTC in high school, its called junior ROTC. Your become a lieutenant(officer) when you graduate from college. Aircraft Mechanic is a military occupation specialty for enlisted, Officers in US Army don't have individual jobs (MOS). How the hell did you end up as an aircraft mechanic??

By the way, remove that "simplify" you had on your location. You are disgracing our marine corp. Its spelled semper fi and i bet you don't even know the meaning.

@ Odeku

I jointed the Military in high School (ROTC) because I chose to not because I did not have anything to fall back on dumbass. Oh shitt I could get a job in the private sector making more with a Degree in Mechanical Engineering than what I make in the ARMY true, but money is not every thing.

I've always wanted to be a soldier all my life and I'm enjoying every sec of it. Is that not what it's all about doing something you enjoy?

Dude you are a lying SOB. You once mentioned you worked on apache helicopter now you've changed to an officer from ROTC. Who the hell are you trying to impress? Only an insecured person will come online an boast of their military service. Some of us have been there, done that. So, get a life.

Semper fi

@Odeku

Don't mind him. He's always full of himself. I doubt he is in the army as he claimed. Otherwise, he's probably a freaking brain-washed private with a useless military occupation specialty.

Now you have said it all, what do we do to make Nigeria livable?

Odeku:
For those who cares to broaden their knowledge on Nigerian politics

you can read about the constitution and how our leaders are abusing this laws


http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm

Thanks for the link. Looks like an exact copy of the US constitution with minor changes though.

Jesus once said that if a man looks at a woman with sexual intent he commits adultery. Masterbation involves a mental recap of an experience that will actually stimulate the ejaculation of semen. This is where the lust comes into the picture, where the person doing the act starts to imagine himself or herself doing it with someone else.

No matter what the cause of stimulation it can never be seen as healthy or moral. The person who performs the act comes under spiritual depression as a christian, because of the accompanying deep-seated guilt.

There are so many things wrong with the above. Assuming you are on a trip; away from your wife. Is it considered lust/adultery if you think about your wife, look at her picture or watch a home-made movie of you two doing it while you mastubate?
