all4naija: The link http://www.regedit.us/tag/download-regedit-for-windows-7/. The windows 7 regedit would probably be the one for your system.

On how to use it; once downloaded just copy it to your Windows folder. That is the folder c:\Windows
you dont need to download it

you can access regedit without that software and its not a place for a general novice pc person
PhonesRe: How Can I Destroy A Stolen Phone Using Its Imei Number? by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:44pm On May 31, 2012
you can ask the networks to block it

then it will be just a toy to the person who stole it
ComputersRe: Hibernating Or Logging Out: Which Is Preferable? by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:39pm On May 31, 2012
hibernating is for when you know that you would be back in short while to resume from where you left

eg 1 hr or 2 etc

log off is when there is more than one user of the pc and you log off from your pc account and the pc remains on

personally i prefer to shut down my pc any work i was doing i save it and for web pages i just add the current page to my favourites and delete it on next log but after i have finished the business with it
Car TalkRe: Share Your Stories Of Mechanics Who Tried To Scam/Rip You Off by ZIMDRILL(m): 3:07pm On May 25, 2012
JimOvia: Sorry I can't really contribute to this thread.
Reason:- my bmw 325i only goes to the mechanic when I need to service it. That is just changing oil every 3months. And I buy the oil my self. 2 gallons of mobil 1 oil @ 9k each. And I also buy the oil filter too. So its only workmanship. The car no de spoil. No issues. If I need to ever buy a part I will order it online. That way you're sure its genuine and even cheaper sef.
every 3 months ?

AWESOME GOD: Good morning
Please how do I get Toshiba Service Center re install on my Laptop back? The Laptop was reformatted due to a powerful virus that crashed both the main programme and the Safe Mode Recovery. Thanks for your answer.
there is no such service but only a recovery disc with default factory installation meaning you will lose your personal data except if you had created your own recovery disc

4llerbuntu: i could have predicted your answer, honestly grin grin grin grin


i know. i think my point really is either way, is there a way to reach my computer from outside the LAN.
i dont know if im making any sense or asking the right question anyway.

but my point really is: the computer i want to access, (incidentally from my android phone) is not connected to the internet directly. it has ip assigned dynamically by a router and all the systems on the LAN have one common gateway, i.e the server, at least to the outside world. its the server that shares internet so either way u either get the local ip address or 127.0.0.1!


is there a way to connect to that pc? i can get credentials for the server, i have admin privs, (im a noob no vex). i can RDP to the server incidentally, but i want access to my specific workstation.

i know there are many network admins on this NL, make una help ur guy na.
NO VEX, Im JUST A VERY PESKY NOOB cheesy cheesy
i even wanted to comment but i was too lazy the 1st question is why does s/he talk to the adminstrator of the pc or server he wants access

FamilyRe: When Is it Right For A Child To Own A Cell Phone. by ZIMDRILL(m): 4:10pm On May 16, 2012
toluxa1: It actually depends. For example, my younger brother is 15 and my mum bought him a Nokia X2. Up till tomorrow I made it clear to them that its a bad idea. Immediately he comes back from school, first place is to his phone, 2go, chatting. Sometimes I see him online at 12am. The truth is these things are a serious deterrent to the seriousness of our young ones. Many kids failing WAEC and NECO, fail because they are distracted by 2go, whatsapp, facebook, etc.

But if its a touch light for for example just for the purpose of communication, they its allowed.

PS: infact am going to seize that his phone, I don vex.
15 yrs is another story

the age mentioned is 10yr old lets focus on that age nothing else
FamilyRe: When Is it Right For A Child To Own A Cell Phone. by ZIMDRILL(m): 4:07pm On May 16, 2012
MRbrownJAY: your kid is at home after school, and will meet the others of that said group in a meeting place, so each of these kids will be for a short period of time ALONE. no matter how you look at it.



here is a clue: the bus is late, or dont show up while your kid is out there waiting for the bus.....or better yet, the driver is too busy calling other parents. i wont even talk about driving while on the phone with parents, lol!



yes it is their duty but it surely wouldnt solve the problem of KNOWING where your child is at all times. how would that solve the problem, if the coach call you to tell you that your kid is absent?!
if your kid is at any time alone outside, (like many are) then a cellphone is a great way of being able to contact them....unless you have any other way of contacting them in such instance?
do you think s/he will switch on her phone when s/her knows that she has broken the rules ?

remember lets not forget that we are talking of a 10yr old here not those above 15

fesse: For me i will say it is right as somebody mentioned above(sch,lectures, etc).I bought a phone for my nice, she is 9 yrs old. The level of insecurity and the nature of my work(time) made me to buy it.

Well, it all depend on you sha.
is your child always alone
FamilyRe: When Is it Right For A Child To Own A Cell Phone. by ZIMDRILL(m): 3:58pm On May 16, 2012
Polalowo: Some people will not see anything bad for under age children to be given phone, for what?. What emergency?. Which emergency?. Once they fail in school the blame goes to the teachers and government. Civilisation is killing the tradition.
the only emergency a child of that age can go through is when an adult who is charge of looking after that 10yr old collapses etc then thats when the child can take the phone from the collapsed adult and phone emergency numbers

but we shouldnt mixed it up from the question asked would buy a phone for a 10 yrs for emergency, my scenario above the child is not the one who needs the emergency attention but the adult so dont get confused
FamilyRe: When Is it Right For A Child To Own A Cell Phone. by ZIMDRILL(m): 3:39pm On May 16, 2012
MRbrownJAY: hhmmm maybe because they dont just teleport themselves there, they probably have to WALK there, or even use public transport (like school bus)
also, i wonder of what use it would be to call the football coach/tutor etc , if your child isnt there?!

yes, they may ALL have your number but how will that help if the child aint present?!

@Toluxa1
the important question to ask IS: why did your mum bought the phone for exactly? was there even a need to contact the child, if he is either at school or directly home?
dont forget the age, the age mentioned is 10

so why would let your 10 old child go on her own ? they can go as group but among the group would an older person

as for the school bus it is the duty of the bus driver to contact school in case of emergency then the school will contact you


it is the duty of the football tutor to call you if your child has not turned up and also it is your duty to them if your child has not showed up home at his/her normal average time that when you ask what time did they leave etc
FamilyRe: When Is it Right For A Child To Own A Cell Phone. by ZIMDRILL(m): 3:34pm On May 16, 2012
chardino: to my own mind i actually dn't see any thing wrong with a 8 or 10yr old kid to have a phone for emergency sake.
that if they stay away from their parents.......
is a free world them having a phone will cause to harm to them my dear...
what emergency can happen to him/her at that age of 10 that no one wont be around except him/her ?

its not about about him/her having a phone at that age but whoever will be looking after them must have your number to contact you

who would have left a 10yr old in charge of anything that if it goes bad s/he will call you
FamilyRe: When Is it Right For A Child To Own A Cell Phone. by ZIMDRILL(m): 2:59pm On May 16, 2012
MRbrownJAY: ^^^football practice, field trips, music classes, after class studies, private tutor etc the list is long. yes, some may have a driver that take their kids to school and back home, but many live in a world where their kids are out there in the real world.

anyone who has a kid in the west would certainly understand that.
why not phone whoever will be in charge of thw football practice and those field trips etc and besides they should have your number as the parent or guardian not the child of that age

PoliticsRe: TB Joshua Foretold Bayero University Bomb Blast by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:12pm On Apr 29, 2012
naijanow: While watching Emmanuel TV this morning, I heard TB Joshua suddenly stop his speech and ask the congregation to rise and pray for protection for the youth. He said Attack! and that it would be in this country. Not much later, news broke that bombs had exploded at a church on BUK campus, Bayero University in Kano! Is this proof that there is a prophet among us? Is this proof that God is still speaking to us, revealing Himself to us? Let's continue to pray for our protection, as the prophet advised. God bless Naija!
thats too general if i say someone is being killed or robbed and tune in to any news around the world i would find some who has been killed or robbed
