Family / Re: I Caught My 14-year-old Son Watching Porn.. by statusnet(m): 10:23am On Aug 12, 2015
First of all, changing his school would be a waste of time and energy. No matter which school you take him to, porn or adult contents would still be discussed among his peers. Teenagers are curious and I dont blame them, it's a transition from childhood to adulthood.

Secondly, seizing his computer wont be of much help because porn is everywhere. From magazines to dstv to even DVDs. If you are so concerned about him watching it then I suggest you ppl live like you were in the 1700s, but doing so would push your kids out of the house and this would lead to more harm.

Thirdly, the best advise I can offer you is to talk to him about sex because punishing won't change anything, also tell the father only if he is understanding. He's curious, he needs to know this but also tell him the negative consequences of watching porn at a young age.

ConfessionsNgr:
What could have made my teenage son interested in sex at his age when he should be serious with his studies? He is 14-years-old and in SS1. This is a boy brought up in a good Christian home. Maybe the mistake was the laptop his dad bought for him. We had thought it will aid him in his studies but he is using it for something that could destroy his future. I’m so sad about it. That night, I was hearing some sound from his room around 11PM and I could understand what it meant. So I tip-toed to his room and saw him engrossed in the porn movies he was watching. I was so furious; I beat him and seized his laptop. I later got to know he was introduced to porn by a class-mate of his. I told him I’m changing his school. He has been begging me not to tell his dad when he returns from his trip but I feel his father should be aware of the whole thing. Parents out there, how can I check this situation?

Programming / Internships /jobs For Computer Engineer /scientists by statusnet(m): 12:53pm On Jul 16, 2015
Back from school and I decided to get an internship to help improve my skills and keep me busy, but so far my search has been void. It turns out places where real computer engineering skills(coding, cyber-security, embedded systems, AI) are needed in Nigeria, especially Lagos are rare, and big telecommunication firms, technological firms (such as Samsung) in Nigeria focus only on the retailing aspect and not the actual development of the products where computing and engineering skill will needed.

So my question is, where can Computer Engineers/Scientists work in Nigeria, especially Lagos? I'd appreciate it if you could list out some firms.

Note: I'm a computer engineering student with interest in coding and robotics.

Are you a computer engineer or computer scientist?
Then what are your interests? Networking? Programming? Database Management?
You need to answer these questions before I can direct you to firms you can explore.
Cheers.

domack99: Hello guys, am thinking of ordering ps4 or xbox one from US (amazon or ebay) but my concern is the power input rating. I know not all electronics you can buy and use direct from US due to 110/120 voltage input. I know Laptops and mobile devices can be plug directly to Nigeria power source but don't know if this game console is one of them.

The xbox one power adapter support 110v-240v, so it will be compatible with any country's voltage

Alpha Maximus: Mathematically transforming all aforementioned details concerning the relationship of the two unknown numbers, we have that:
XY=1,000,000.....(I)
X^1/6=Y^1/2 -3.....(II)
This can be solved logarithmically, thus
Logxy=Log1,000,000
LogX + LogY=6.......(III)
Logx^1/6= Log(y^1/2-3)
1/6Logx=Log(y^1/2-3)
Logx=Log(y^1/2-3)^6
Logx=6Log(y^1/2-3).....(IV)
Substitute (IV) into (III)
6Log(y^1/2-3) + LogY=6
Divide through by 6 for simplicity
Log(y^1/2-3) +1/6 Logy=1
Log(y^1/2-3)+ Logy^1/6
Applying the Log law, log.a + log.b=log.(AB), we have:
Log(Y^1/6(y^1/2 - 3))= 1
Eradicating the logarithm, we have that:
Y^1/6(Y^1/2-3)=10^1=10
Expanding we have:
Y^1/3-3y^1/6-10=0
Applying algebraic substitution, I will transform Y^1/6 to 'a'
NB: Y^1/3=Y^1/6 * Y^1/6
A^2-3A-10=0
(A-5)(a+2)=0
Thus a=5 and a=-2
Compare the results with Y^1/6
5=Y^1/6
Y=5^6=15,625
Also, Y^1/6=-2
Y=-2^6=64
Y= 64 and 15,625......these are the two unknown numbers, interestingly they are simultaneously perfect squares and perfect cubes, they are known as perfect sixth powers, but this is not the final solution:
The cube root of the larger number 15,625 is 25 and the sixth root(number multiplied six times yielding the cited figure) of 64 is 2...their product is 25*2=50 the reciprocal is 1/50 and the square of this is 1/2500........oya clap for me!! grin

Y1/6 (Y1/2 - 3) = Y2/3 - 3 Y1/6

There's a mistake in your expansion

smurfy:

Here goes...

tan2x = (2tanx)/(1-tanx^2(x).

So the expression [tan^2(x)]/tan2x becomes [tan^2(x) * (1 - tan^2(x)]/2tanx.

This gives 1/2[tanx - tan^3(x)].

Time to integrate.

Integral of tanx is ln(secx). [I'm gonna import this into my final answer, so take note.]

Now let's integrate tan^3(x).

tan^3(x) = tan^2(x) * tanx = [(sec^2(x) - 1] * tanx.

This finally gives sec^2(x) * tanx - tanx

Put u = tanx, then du = sec^2(x) dx.

So $udu - $tanx dx
= 1/2(u)^2 - ln(secx)
= 1/2[tan^2(x) - ln(secx)]

Therefore, 1/2($tanx - 1/2[$tan^3(x) gives

1/2ln(secx) - 1/2[tan^2(x) - ln(secx) + c

= 1/2ln(secx) + 1/2ln(secx) - 1/2tan^2(x) + c

= ln(secx) - 1/2tan^2(x) + c

Thanks but it's ln (secx) -1/4*tan^2x + c

Solution
S sin2x

From our knowledge of trig
sin2x = 1/2 (1-cos2x)

so S 1/2 (1-cos2x)

= 1/2 S 1-cos2x

=1/2 (x-sin2x/2) + c

= x/2 -(sin2x)/4 + c

Both hardware and software problems seem to prevent the flawless released of the PS4. Such problems include blue screen,HDMI issues and unwanted reboots when multitasking according to IGN. Buyers of the PS4 seem frustrated and Sony boss says the fans should be patient that the minor issue will be resolved ASAP.

Also , this hardware issue seems to be given the Xbox One the upper hand atm (due to people changing their minds) and Microsoft is playing as a good competitor by congratulating Sony on its PS4 release albeit some people have the opinion that the tweet is ambiguous .

Alpha Maximus: Alright , this was a simple case of word problems leading to simultaneous equations. Mathematically transforming the aforementioned question into equations, we have that a=humans and b=animals, since humans, lions and Thomson's gazelle each have a single head, we have that
A+b=7678....(I)
Since humans have two legs each and the animals have four, we have an equational interpretion of :
2a+4b=28490
Using the elimination method and multiplying (I) by 2 for the purpose of the extrication of the unknown 'a', we have
2b=13134
B=6567 animals, inputting 'b' into (I), we establish that a=1111humans
We were given info that the gazelles constitute 8796 legs so we arrive at the following
(4*6567)-8769=17472legs owned by lions
We divide by four since lions have four appendages. Thus
17472/4=4368 lions grin

Xbox one anytime anyday, voice control, 1080p skype videos, Entertainment multimedia hub, kinect controller, it supports mp3 and dLna streaming unlike ps4, a better online multiplaying with free dedicated servers, Better Xbox live experience, lastly, really cool exclusive titles like Ryse:Son of rome, halo 5 & Titanfall, i have been studying both consoles of recent and in my own opinion I'd choose XBOX ONE.

Hahhaha ,tbh I'm starting to drift to the Xbox one side cuz there's so much to do btw you forgot Forza 5
