You don't get it cause you are a roach living in someone's basement in South Bronx Ghetto New York.
So you never travel, never will travel, have no knowledge of the real world except for the few times you crawl out of your hole and play on internet, after the home-owners have gone to work.
One day they will come home and find you, a big pink roach playing on their computer. And they will squash you, splat! And you will be gone, roach, you will soon be done, Mr. Pink Roach...

it's not rocket science. Put the money on the table and then we can begin to talk about building something.

Instead of scraping the Internet looking for rubbish as you ussually do, you could use it differently! So you don't have to ask so many dumb questions all the time. Traveling to places is helpful too. Posts: 22245 | From: האם אינכם כילדי הכרית אלי בני ישראל | Registered: Nov 2010

No need to reinvent the wheel. Improvements in technology these days is had by adding to or just tweaking what's already available.
But there are many competent Nigerian computer engineers who would find building a circuit pad child's play.
CT, In modern technology--unless there are patents that prevent copying then "tweaking" or building--there is no need to reinvent the wheel. There are Nigerian computer engineers who would find building a circuit pad child's play.
3) Philip Emeagwali. A bit controversial but he did win the Gordon Bell Prize for Computing some years ago.
And there are many others who have graduated from places like MIT, Caltech, plus local universities who are just as competent.
But there is something imponderable in all this because despite large numbers of engineers in Nigeria and Nigerian engineers abroad there is a deep malaise in that country.
It's possibly a hang-over from colonialism plus just too much adulation of whites by the corrupt politicians and government officials.
Nigeria receives about $200 million every day from petroleum proceeds so it really should be an easy thing to build a government and private sponsored research institution for top-of-the-line work in computing, but the corrupt, greedy, and ignorant government officials and their entourages do no such thing. They consume as much as they want and live in mansions hidden behind tall walls where there is no lack of electricity and water. And they don't have to travel by those terrible roads since they have private planes to mover around in.
The rest of the population just suffers a nd suffers from no electricity, no safe water, no safe roads, poor hospitals. Just the Devil's own children.

It's hard to say who invented the Internet. There were many mathematicians and scientists who contributed to its development; computers were sending signals to each other as early as the 1950s. But the Web owes much of its existence to Philip Emeagwali, a math whiz who came up with the formula for allowing a large number of computers to communicate at once.
Emeagwali was born to a poor family in Akure, Nigeria, in 1954. Despite his brain for math, he had to drop out of school because his family, who had become war refugees, could no longer afford to send him. As a young man, he earned a general education certificate from the University of London and later degrees from George Washington University and the University of Maryland, as well as a doctoral fellowship from the University of Michigan.
At Michigan, he participated in the scientific community's debate on how to simulate the detection of oil reservoirs using a supercomputer. Growing up in an oil-rich nation and understanding how oil is drilled, Emeagwali decided to use this problem as the subject of his doctoral dissertation. Borrowing an idea from a science fiction story about predicting the weather, Emeagwali decided that rather than using 8 expensive supercomputers he would employ thousands of microprocessors to do the computation.
The only step left was to find 8 machines and connect them. (Remember, it was the 80s.) Through research, he found a machine called the Connection Machine at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which had sat unused after scientists had given up on figuring out how to make it simulate nuclear explosions. The machine was designed to run 65,536 interconnected microprocessors. In 1987, he applied for and was given permission to use the machine, and remotely from his Ann Arbor, Michigan, location he set the parameters and ran his program. In addition to correctly computing the amount of oil in the simulated reservoir, the machine was able to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second.
The crux of the discovery was that Emeagwali had programmed each of the microprocessors to talk to six neighboring microprocessors at the same time.
The success of this record-breaking experiment meant that there was now a practical and inexpensive way to use machines like this to speak to each other all over the world. Within a few years, the oil industry had seized upon this idea, then called the Hyperball International Network creating a virtual world wide web of ultrafast digital communication.
The discovery earned him the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers' Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, and he was later hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet. Since then, he has won more than 100 prizes for his work and Apple computer has used his microprocessor technology in their Power Mac G4 model. Today he lives in Washington with his wife and son.
"The Internet as we know it today did not cross my mind," Emeagwali told TIME. "I was hypothesizing a planetary-sized supercomputer and, broadly speaking, my focus was on how the present creates the future and how our image of the future inspires the present."

Nigeria introduces a rebranded China pad, an answer to Apple's Ipad. How come...
Why not! China has been knocking off every one else's sh!t including Kenya's brand products and selling it so why can't Nigerians???..China is no great respecter of intellectual property, and off course it would have to be Nigerians... Posts: 6546 | From: japan | Registered: Feb 2009

The cockroach above, is indeed. The more it posts, the more it backfires.
The cockroach doesn't understand that the tabled computer is a old concept in the making. It took Apple tens and millions of dollars in R&D to create this blue print.
The cockroach is so stupid, on history, anthropology, egyptology, archeology, sociology, economics and now this engineering; Information Technology?
All the cockroach is good at, is slurs and nasty rantings.

Yes, bitch. Ever hear the term "slang?" The slang, "Skaliwag" denotes you - 'hoe.' The proper term, "Scalawag" denotes something totally different. Here is the meaning:

You are a dumb broad. Skaliwag is a slang and it means HOE, like you. Scalawag does not mean HOE, and that is why I did not use that spelling. Okay, skaliwag?
GAME OVER.

^You're the one that is ignorant to this issue. I will lay it out for you:
1. You pierce my heart
2. You didn't make me and you can't break me
3. You snooze you lose

"Skaliwag" as you like to spell it means dilapidated [person] when used by black slang, not whore. The word is Scalawag. Your black people's "skaliwag" is nothing but a misspelling of 'scalawag'. That's what happens when you don't know how to spell.
Dummy, my point is that 'dawg' isn't a word just as 'how come' is wrong and ungrammatical. "Skaliwag" isn't a word either but 'scalawag' is. How come is wrong and ungrammatical but why is correct irregardless if it's used formally or informally. This is not about proving you wrong. You chose to argue and prove me wrong. Am I right? Any honest person knows How come is incorrect and plays no such role as speaking "informally" but rather ungrammatical from being uneducated. Ain't is informal.

Asswhipe, prove that it is grammatically incorrect. Source?
I presented you with the definition and that it is informal. You have yet to support your bullshit claim with anything but your bullshit opinion.
One more time, Skaliwag means whore, and that that is its spelling. It is a slang. I provided the definition to both, btw. You, on the other hand, talk out your arse. Now, instead of just opening your empty trap, try to support it with some sources. Oh well, I guess scouring the web during your two hour hiatus turned up nothing, heh?

All that is required is a research centre of some 150 qualified Nigerian and other African scientist/engineer/mathematician lecturers and researchers to get the thing going. They exist bu are scattered here and there.
Here are 2 others who could impart their skills to some 50 students every year in the areas of computer science.

^You FVCKTARD!!! How Come is grammatically INCORRECT!! You didn't provide shyt but bullshyt incorrect grammar. It is ALWAYS WHY. "How Come" is a result from not knowing how to speak properly. The next thing you're going to say is that You is is informal. I already told you that 'Scalawag' is the correct spelling not your skaliwag. Where did you think your "skaliwag" came from. When 'scalawag' is used as slang it is still spelled 'scalawag' and it always used to describe a tacky unkempt person, not a fvcking whore. You can call a whore a scalawag and you can call a man a scalawag. It simply means someone who is dilapidated, under trodden, dirty, raggedy, unkempt.
