Until he corroborates that's what he meant, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. You are reading between the lines something he didn't say. (You could well be completely correct, but I don't like to jump into conclusions and make assumptions.) He could just as well have meant that the companies refused to make an open statement opposing gay marriage. (Not that that's a good reason to boycott them either, but it's really not the same thing.) |

Employees are entitled to their opinions, way of life, sexual preferences, fashions they follow or not, whatever. Companies aren't entitled to tell anyone anything about those aspects of their individual FREEDOM! Bigots would love that we come back to the 19th century and give gays the death penalty, together with atheists, free thinkers, etc. Happily, two centuries have passed and they have lost their grip on society and no matter how strong they cry, they aren't able to control people anymore as they did in the past. The history of mankind shows us that the churches are losing ground everywhere, and that science is gaining ground everywhere. This fight between science and religion started in the renaissance, a few centuries ago. Galileo was condammed by the church because of his heretic views, but science won in the end because science is based on facts, and even their "G-d" can't do anything against facts. Marriage, am I for "marriage"? Of course I am for the union of a man and a woman (I wouldn't be here if my mother wouldn't have loved my father, as everybody else here). But I am not for chasing gays, trans-sexuals or other 'deviant' humans because I am of the opinion that those people are HUMANS and merit all our respect, contrary to the silly teachings of the church. And of course I am against pedophilic priests by the way. I am against them even if they cry that they are "for marriage". :-) |

Whatever he meant he does not understand that he is expecting companies to take positions that those can not take. Companies have to follow local laws like everybody else. A company can be sued if they discriminate human rights of their customers or employees. USA is full of sharks searching for any opportunities to make money. There a company worth anything that makes bigoted statements will be trolled into taking discriminating actions against employee or customer and then sued successfully. I have asked before how his serialization is better (or even different) than all the numerous freely available and well-documented serialization and RPC systems. He just can't answer anything. Apparently he believes that his chauvinism is somehow freeing him from need to offer at least one outstanding feature in order to enter competition. Actually it is other way around. Lack of worthy features makes it worthless and so sharks do not bother to troll him. |

Constant ridicule. Constant uphill battles. Constant hatred cast toward me at every point because I name the name of Jesus. People calling me bigots and telling me I'm full of hate because I teach them the things God has revealed in the Bible that He will judge in our lives, etc. But I know how important it is for Gentiles (non-Jews) to come to Jesus, to ask forgiveness for their sin, and to serve the Lord with all our lives, for that is His calling for each of us, and to then go that step further and teach others to do the same, leading others by example as we follow His lead. ----- It is important for people to be reminded of the things of God, because God hasn't gone anywhere, even if we've tried to push Him out of every aspect of our lives.

Giving yourself a trendy, teenage-sounding acronym does not make you part of a trendy group. You are a bigot with little regard or respect for other people and their feelings, who just happens to be a programmer. The two aspects of your life are not related. And while a fair proportion of religious bigots have generally conservative views, I think you insult conservatives everywhere by implying the terms are synonymous. You have the right to think that marriage should be restricted to one man, one woman, and to think of gender in such overly simplistic ways. But you don't have the right to impose those views on others, or to put words in others' mouths by implying this is the view of "conservative employees" (to the limited extend that such a grouping makes any sense at all). And you don't have the right to preach "holier than thou" attitudes to others. And if you don't feel comfortable with people who don't share your 19th century prejudices (it's not "middle-age" prejudice, as many people think - in the middle ages, people didn't really care about these things), then you are free to drop out from society and live in a little bubble of your own making. Just don't expect others to follow you. > Years ago I worked at IBM and Southwest Airlines, but > their policies are no longer supportive of marriage > (one man + one woman) so I avoid these companies.

We were all created by God. We are called by Him to honor Him with the fulnenss of our lives, all of our fruit, all of our labor, all of our efforts. These include the ones which bring about a corporate atmosphere (we think of "corporate" today as a money-seeking endeavor, but it's just a group of people working together for a common cause). God calls us to be in unity one to another, and to look up to Him and honor Him with our lives. To not follow after another voice at work in this world, the same one that was in the Garden of Eden telling Eve and Adam, "You will not surely die [if you eat this fruit]." That voice is a liar and a deceiver, and his goal is to de- ceive you long enough to distract you through this whole life so that you die unforgiven, lost in your sin, forcing God to judge you because you would not come to Him and ask forgiveness. God has given us everything we need in this world, and stands at the ready to open up the floodgates of Heaven and pour us out a blessing so large we will not be able to con- tain it. But just as we wouldn't give an irresponsible 18- year old a billion dollar inheritance, for we know they'd not only squander the inheritance but likely destroy them- selves in their life, so too God is waiting for us to mat- ure and seek after right things rightly, so that we, by our conscious choices, seek to move Him to the front of our dai- ly lives, so that we might have a purposeful and rigorous focus on Him, so that we are mature enough to receive those many blessings He desires with greatest desire to pour out unto us. ----- Do not discount God, Jacob. Consider Him. Do not think you have an understanding of God if you think there is any- thing wrong within Him, for that is ONLY the enemy's voice speaking into your thoughts / feelings / emotions. And that enemy has a purpose for your life contrary to the purpose God has for your life. That enemy wants your soul destroyed in Hell. God wants your soul saved, which is why He gave us His Son Jesus, so that by what Jesus did at the cross, and the price He paid before the Father, we are set free. Think on these things, and don't just discount them. Ponder within yourself, "What would a true God do when His children rebelled against Him? Would He rise up against them and de- stroy them, or would He make a way out for all to come to Him and be saved ... if only they would receive that free offer of forgiveness wrapped in love?" You'll find God is full of mercy, grace, compassion, empathy, and He desires with greatest longing that every person He's created world-wide would come to Him and ask forgiveness for their sin and be saved. You can be saved, Jacob. All you have to do is ask Him to forgive your sin, and to desire within to repent and turn away from the enemy's guidance, from wicked ways, from that which the Bible calls "sin." You can be saved today for all eternity ... just for the asking. And you can then watch Him enter your life and teach you things you never knew were possible, because you wouldn't hear them before. I pray you do. You are a valuable and amazing person full of life and a potential future. I would like to see you forgiven. I would like to see your light shine in this world for God. I would like to see you thriving in all eternity with God, in the fullness of beauty and creation He made you to be and inhabit. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

In the U.S., people often claim "Separation of church and state." That's not a Constitutional wording found anywhere, but it is a reference to something voice in a letter, a philosophy by our Thomas Jefferson, conveying a sentiment that's different than most people ascribe to it. Most people think that means we can't have "religion" in our roles as people being convicted by God into choosing laws which support Biblical positions within our government. That's not what the intent was at all. In the U.S., the "separation of church and state" was designed to keep government out of religion, and not religion out of government. If it is the will of the people to have laws which support the Biblical positions, that is appropriate to possess and occupy as our "local laws." But even beyond that, and even without our local laws supporting the things of the Bible, God remains in control. God has never abdicated the Throne. He's never handed off His authority to our local politicians. He remains in fullest authority, the ultimate judge, and each of us have a future meeting with Him to give an account of our lives, and the standard He uses to compare our actions against will be His laws, His guidance, His Son, primarily, and then secondarily it will be how well we dealt with the things of man here. ----- Make no mistake about it. God sends the men and women of faith in His Kingdom into your lives to give you opportunity after opportunity to hear His voice, to hear His guidance, to hear His ways, to be given the real opportunities to come to Him and serve Him in this world, rather than following after a deceiving enemy who has your soul's destruction in Hell on his mind. God wants you saved. He wants you prospering and thriving and "shining like the stars forever" (the Bible says). The enemy wants to deprive you of that birthright. Investigate these things. Seek to learn the truth and not the hearsay or belief about something. Seek out the root of the matter. Go to the source and read the details God has given us through His Holy Word for yourself. Taste and see that the Lord is good. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

When Brian writes this, what he means is the companies did not support the bigot groups that want to restrict marriage to one man, one woman unions because "that's what children deserve". It doesn't matter to him if the parents love each other, or can run a family well, or are good parents - all he is concerned about is the gender of the parents matches a couple of rules of his little old book (ignoring, of course, the attitude of the book's key character or its overriding message of love, or the hypocrisy of ignoring all the other rules). |

We /know/ he is obsessed with trying to stop people loving who they want, and forming unions as they want, unless they conform to his religious dogma. You can read about it on his website too. > He could just as well have meant that the companies refused to make > an open statement opposing gay marriage. (Not that that's a good > reason to boycott them either, but it's really not the same thing.) It /is/ the same thing in Brian's black-or-white world view. Either you are absolutely against any concept of homosexuality, with a particular emphasis on marriage and families, or you are in league with the devil. The nearest he might come to a middle group is accepting that some people might be attracted to the same gender, but they must never act on those urges. |

What the enemy means to do is this: convince people that his guidance is right, and teach people that God's guidance is wrong. He does this by appealing to our flesh-based lusts, to deceive us into believing his teachings, and denying God. Once we acquiesce to his prompting, his temptation, his lures, he gains a legal access into our minds. Once there, he begins to spread his net even further, trapping every thought, bring- ing all of the person's thinking into obedience to that enemy of God. But God has not changed. He has condemned homosexuality and cited it as a sin in the Old Testament and New Testament, one which leads to eternal separation from God in Hell. God is trying with the loudest voice to get people's attention, but people love sin so much they won't hear God. They put both hands over their ears and cry out "wah wah wah wah wah wah" to drown out the voice of God as they follow after their lusts. ----- It breaks my heart to see people demeaning God, standing up for the enemy, and destroying their soul in the process. God made them male and female. He made Adam and said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a help- meet for him," and then He made Eve and brought her to Adam. There's a teaching there ... for all who will hear it. I pray you are one of them, David. You are a beautiful and remarkable creation of God and I would like to see you thriving in God's Kingdom, rather than writhing in agony in eternal Hellfire because you rejected Him and all He stands for. -- Rick C.

Here are the Biblical references in the New Testament to homo- sexuality being a sin that separates one from God forever: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude+1%3A7%2C+1+Corinthians+6%3A9-10%2C1+Timothy+1%3A9-10%2CRomans+1%3A18-32&version=NIV It's not for nothing Christians teach these things. It has to do with what God established by His design, buy example in giving Eve to Adam, with Adam realizing what God intended when he said, "This is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh, and for this reason will a man leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." God took a rib out of Adam to make Eve. He is incomplete without her, and she also without him. To deny God and God's design is to invite destruction upon one's own eternal soul. And yes, we do have an eternal soul, and it is that very object the enemy of God is trying to take away from each of us. That enemy wants us to be destroyed because we were made in the image and likeness of God. That enemy hates God, and he hates us because of who we are, and he wants to hurt God, and he wants to hurt us. We give the enemy power by our choices. But God is greater, and everyone who turns to God truly is saved from that enemy, and made part of God's eternal Kingdom through Jesus Christ.

He has created us, and given His creation guidance on how to be. It is found in the philosophy of the Law of Moses, as well as its details, and is best given by example in His giving us His own Son, Jesus the Christ, to save us from our sin, demonstrating God's love for us in that while we were yet guilty, God made a way for us to be set free. > However companies and individuals have to abide human laws. God teaches us to abide by human law as well, but not when they contradict God's laws. There is an enemy of God at work in people in this world, Öö Tiib. That enemy has entered into the minds and bodies of people in this world by tempting them to sin, and then gaining a legal license to enter in and conduct business in our physical bodies by our choices. We say, "Yes, devil, come on in. I will follow your guidance rather than God's." The enemy does this by deceiving us through the temptation he sets before us to sin. We want the thing he tempts us with, so we voluntarily sin. > So if for example your "god laws" require you to put homosexuals to > death (Leviticus 20:13) and you do, then you will be punished for murder, > idiot, and god won't interfere. That is the Old Testament. We no longer live in that place. When God gave the Law to Israel, He was doing so in contrast to those evil spirit influences. The person espousing homo- sexuality had been compromised. That evil spirit was in that person's physical body, and the influence of that evil spirit's voice would've corrupted God's people. God ordered the death of the homosexual (and the death of many other people who have embraced sin) to keep that evil spirit from gaining a foothold in God's people'. However, Israel was rebellious against God and did not listen to Him, and they let those people live, and they didn't stone all they were supposed to, and they, by their own lusts in pursuit of sin, turned away from God and embraced the subtle and clever enemy's teachings time and time and time again. As a result, Israel went into captivity time and time and time again, and ultimately did not receive their Earthly Kingdom when their Messiah came (when Jesus came here as a man). Jesus was prepared to give them the Earthly Kingdom at that time, but they had been so deceived by the enemy, so riddled with sin, that they not only denied Him, but had Him crucified as an innocent man. But God is still faithful to Israel and has promised to redeem them. He's set aside 144,000 virgins who have not given them- selves over to shameful lusts, and these will become the ones filled with God's Holy Spirit after the rapture of the church. They will be the "new Christians" who then see Jesus as their Messiah, and go forth and teach the world those things the Christians are supposed to be teaching today. But back to God's laws and man's laws. Romans 13 teaches us to submit ourselves to every authority of man, but we are also taught to not do things that man has us to do, even when it's legal, when it goes against God. The order of hierarchy: 1) God's Laws 2) Man's laws 3) Our own opinion about things not otherwise stated > local laws. Otherwise evil people will troll the morons into misery > for to get a little material benefit or sometimes "just for lulz". > That is it. Investigate those things. You are being deceived as I have outlined above, Öö Tiib. It will cost you your eternal soul. All I can do is warn you and point you the way. You have to be willing to pursue it. I pray you do.

I have well-considered a great many things of this world through the many years of pondering what God's presence should be in our days here. I have created the Liberty Software Foundation as a God-fearing alternative to the Free Software Foundation, but one with a very similar end-goal ... the difference being I explicitly hon- or God with my software and life's work. That difference is not trivial. It is substantial and formidable. I have also modified the license I use over time because I began to understand the philosophy of God's guidance in our lives more and more. I finally feel I'm to the point where I can begin to teach others, so I step up and do so, being willing to be cor- rected wherever I am mistaken. But the things I teach in most areas are not only taught by me, but have come through many other pastors and teachers I have studied. They are the voice of God at work in believers here in this world.

You regurgitate the same stuff with a total disregard to the views, thoughts or opinions of anyone else - and rarely a hint of attention to the topic in question. You then follow it up with your self-flagellation and martyr syndrome where you feel sorry for yourself and think everyone is against you. So unless you come up with something new and interesting, I will not reply to your posts in a thread like this. (As always, I am quite happy to talk on technical on-topic subjects with you, as with anyone else.) |

You are just as distasteful as your so called religion. /Flibble -- "Suppose it's all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life. "What will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?" "I'd say, bone cancer in children? What's that about?" Fry replied. "How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery that is not our fault. It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil."

Most of these are either normal English words, individual alphabet letters, or a combination. There is no need for a guide - and certainly no need to try to tell people to use /American/ pronunciation! Americans will use American pronunciation no matter what, non-American English speakers will use their own language (I hesitate to say /proper/ English, because there could be some Canadians here...), and non-English natives will use whatever pronunciation is common in their country. |

I only tested with the fixed (portable) code, using <math.h> instead of <cmath>. With that, argument `4.` worked with both g++ and Visual C++. Using <math.h> should ideally not have made any difference: either it should compile or not, I thought. But as it turns out, when you include <math.h>, or include <cmath> with a `using std::pow`, with g++ you get an additional overload template< class _Tp, class _Up > auto pow( _Tp, _Up ) -> constexpr typename __gnu_cxx::__promote_2<_Tp, _Up>::__type; and with Visual C++ there is anyway an overload auto pow( double, int ) -> double; I found these overloads simply by compiling a call `pow( "Blah", 2 )`. In C++17 the wording that mandates such overloads, without detailing exactly what they should be, is §2.9.1/2: <quote> For each set of overloaded functions within <cmath> , with the exception of `abs`, there shall be additional overloads sufficient to ensure: 1. If any argument of arithmetic type corresponding to a double parameter has type long double , then all arguments of arithmetic type (6.9.1) corresponding to double parameters are effectively cast to long double. 2. Otherwise, if any argument of arithmetic type corresponding to a double parameter has type double or an integer type, then all arguments of arithmetic type corresponding to double parameters are effectively cast to double. 3. Otherwise, all arguments of arithmetic type corresponding to double parameters have type float. [Note: `abs` is exempted from these rules in order to stay compatible with C. —end note ] </quote> So that's the technical: when `<math.h>` is included, or alternatively when one includes `<cmath>` with a `using std::pow;` or `using namespace std;`, then the expression `pow( 4., 7 )` is well-defined, unambiguous. However, I hadn't thought this through. I could just as well have turned out wrong. So, thanks, that was a learning experience. :) Cheers!, - Alf |
