Digest for comp.lang.c++@googlegroups.com - 4 updates in 4 topics

When a person meets Jesus Christ, they are never the same.
 
If you call yourself a Christian and are the same as you've always been,
just maybe more religious or diligent in your pursuit of religion, you
are not saved, and you've never met Him. You are just as lost as those
who are out there sinning in the fullest extents.
 
You must be born again:

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God.
 
Dramatized in The Gospel of John:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47OkuvT5JFo&t=20m1s
 
Nicodemus was a Pharisee. The most knowledgeable / legalistic type of
Jew, and a teacher of the Law of Moses. He came to Jesus knowing only
the Law and the things of this world. Jesus tries to explain to Him the
nature of His new Kingdom, which is of the spirit.
 
Pay attention and you will see there is more to our lives than that which
our eyes are able to see. Jesus is the gateway, as He takes away our sin
so that we can be born again, alive spiritually, able to enter in to the
new life which is eternal life.
 
Jesus alone. No other way. Please take heed of these things and learn
for yourself why that statement is true. Do not cast judgment upon the
statement without investigation.
 
Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

Well, after checking around it seems to me that it's likely I was wrong
about 16-bit `wchar_t` being invalid for Unicode.
 
So, punch me.
 
But I don't know that, and it's certainly not my private opinion: I got
it from others, that I thought were experts in the area: a "fact" that I
was pretty sure of.
 
And since we don't seem to have the requisite experts gathered in this
group, and since Usenet cross-posting etc. is mostly a thing of the
past, I've asked about this on Stack Overflow, at
 
<url:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39548465/is-16-bit-wchar-t-formally-valid-for-representing-full-unicode>
 
Hopefully some convincing answers will be forthcoming there.
 
 
Cheers & hth.,

Baseless insults...
 
 
One thing I'm proud of is my business model -- making the
on line service free. I wish I could say it was my idea,
but a friend suggested it to me and at first I didn't like
the idea, but after a few weeks it started to make sense to me.
Many companies have 30 days of free trial now, but not that
many have completely free services. My friend gave me a good
idea and I have run with it.

Please get over your obsessions and stop feeding this guy. When over
half of the posts to this newsgroup over the last 3 days comprise this
tripe then something has gone wrong. Stop it.
