The Religion Thread

"Whaaaat!?.......You got a pic of that monster?
Well, uhh, no; but I might still have a picture of the birdbath....

"The biggest largemouth bass I caught was ~6 pounds."

The biggest largemouth 'round these parts is another poster here; not calling any names or nothing like that. Ain't got no idea of it's weight, though.

"This is not "real life", Forum Victim Mr.B."

Silly me...! How could I have ever imagined you'd have a "real life".

[rstrong]

I have a life.

I should probably retract that.

While I did plenty of family stuff, I also probably spent too much of my weekend creating a web page that FTPs into my UPS, fetches the event log and data logs, reformats them, removes login/logout information, and displays the rest on the page.

I never said I had a life, but I suppose the following betrays me. Over the weekend, I cut grass during a lull in the flood, cooked a fine slab of dead cow on the grill, watched a show about the Vietnam War on History channel, did all the laundry in the house except for the stuff that was already clean, bought a little display table that I can put all my record cleaning and extra vacuum tubes in from a guy on Craigslist, and engaged in about three hours of leisurely listening to vinyl records while pondering whether or not I actually have a life.

The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways When He Gets Behind the Wheel of a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

As WANE News (Fort Wayne, Indiana) reported, the woman told police that God was personally responsible for the accident because she was just driving along and "out of nowhere God told her that He would take it from here and she let go of the wheel and let Him take it." The 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix hit Oliveri's motorcycle and ran over both bike and man.

"(The) court held that the defendant could still be liable because she knew she could be subject to hallucinations and so should not have been driving at all. (She claimed she believed she could fly "because Batman does it," which shows the seriousness of her delusions..."

It should be noted that that was a different case of someone "letting God take it from here."

[neoplacebo]

I suppose theoretically, I've been letting God take control the whole time. I've not thanked him or asked him to steer me in another direction, though. So far, he's only led me astray three or four times. Thanks.

I don't know if Kendo's free version of their javascript library has the graphing capability (I've got the paid version), but if it does, it's *awesome* ......

Ah... I think it's only in the commercial version. Nevermind!


EDIT: looks like sencha still has their ext2.js open source version hidden deep within the website. It looks like it has some neat graphing capabilities too, but I've not used it.

I used MSChart under .NET 4.5, in Visual Studio. It turned out to be wonderful to use. (Although I understand that earlier versions were harder to work with.)

I'll be uploading the full web site one of these days. Right now it just has a list of mobile links acting as the home page for my cell phone browser.

Next up: A (hopefully) simple program to send commands to SQL Server Express on the web server, telling it back up its databases.

"bannination and rstrong have a religion, after all, and they are "priests" that share a language as obscure as Latin."

bannination and rstrong have a religion, after all, and they are "priests" that share a language as obscure as Latin.

Nah, we speak pretty clear, this is latin:

Code: Select all

public String convert(String value) {
    if (null != value && !((String) value).isEmpty()) {
        String matchedValue =
                foo(String.valueOf(value));
        if (null != matchedValue) {
            return matchedValue;
        } else {
            return value;
        }
    } else {
        String val = "";
        if (val != null) {
            return foo(String.valueOf(val));
        }
        return "DEFAULT_VALUE";
    }
}

The UI of the product I work on is written in ExtJS. I've been coding with Ext for about two years now. It's super easy to construct things like grids and graphs. Definitely recommend.

Satanic Temple seeks Hobby Lobby-style exemption from anti-abortion laws

What's good for the Christian goose . . .

OH boy are there some whiny wingnuts posting in the comments, I got at least 10 minutes of entertainment out of that! Thanks!

Can't wait till we get some Muslim exceptions as well.

I myself was recently abducted and taken to a planet that had no name. The writing I saw there resembled that stuff. But those folks were not religious. I'm lucky as hell they brought me back.

You didn't go anywhere; you were in The Twilight Zone.

weird.

I don't know.......that Bacchus part (he's also known as Dionysis) sounded pretty good to me. Drunken revelry will always be popular. The kingdom of god is within you, like the Bible says.
