I've never done any drugs in my life, except I did drink alcohol in my
youth. Not a lot, but socially.
 
Here's a prediction for you: "No, no, no. This sucker's electrical,
but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 Gigawatts of
electricity I need." Doc Emmet Brown on his flux capacitor-driven
Delorian time machine.
 
So, the 1.21 is not 1.21 Gigawatts. It's code for January 2021, or
possibly even January 21, 2021. But regardless, there are dark powers
and forces at work in power now who are setting up some kind of nuclear
event for next month. What will it be? I don't know. Possibly
something related to the U.S. election fraud. Possibly something else
entirely.
 
But keep your eyes pealed. Something major is coming, and it will
likely be in January of 2021.

Have you given all your money away to charity yet because the Rapture is due soon (again)? Prove how strong your faith really is, spammer, or do you just talk the talk without walking the walk?

No man knows the day or the hour, Leigh. Only the season. People have
thought the rapture was coming for centuries. They were wrong. I could
be wrong.
 
I think the Lord knew we would do this (think of the days it could
occur), and He never told us when it was, so that we are always on
guard, always at the ready, always teaching others.
 
We are to continue on in this world as though it will continue on, doing
our best, being upright, honest, sincere, helpful, loving, caring,
teaching, guiding... all the traits of a proper spirit-led Christian.
 
It's why I reach out to you, Leigh.
 
I think you and I could be friends were it not for this chasm between
us. I actually like you, despite your rudeness and profanity to me,
because I can look past that and realize the source it come from. I can
see the creative genius man you are on the inside. I think we are more
alike than unalike to be honest. I hope someday to call you my
brother-in-Christ.

So your answer is that you just talk the talk without walking the walk. Your faith is just as feeble as the god you claim to have faith in.

My answer is I walk the only walk we're commanded to walk: To always be
ready, but to proceed daily as thought the Rapture will occur at any
time, but possibly not today.
 
I actually saw a very compelling video the other day stating that the
former time I thought the rapture would occur (September 23, 2017),
which was a convergence of literally about 40 separate Biblical,
astronomical, and Jewish timings, was actually the beginning of a seven
year period which is "the last trump" spoken of by Paul regarding the
rapture. If true, the rapture would occur in 2024 sometime, and
probably after the second solar eclipse to go all the way across the
United States, completing the giant X. That event occurs on April 8,
2024, and the day of Pentecost is May 19, 2024 which is 41 days later,
or 40 days if you consider the time in Jerusalem.
 
These patterns emerge and they cause "watchmen" (like me and others who
are devout Christians) to see the possibilities.
 
We don't have full knowledge of the day or hour though, so it's all
speculation. The only ongoing call is to be ready, to be watchful, and
to consistently warn others, brothers and sisters in Christ yes, but
also the people of this world.

It was bad enough when you just quoted the Bible , now you're reading into
lines from kids films from the 80s? You really have gone off the deep end pal,
I'd get help if I were you. Seriously.

Nothing is going to happen other than yet more covid shit. But at least being
able to laugh at your delusional stupidity on the 1st Feb will be something to
look forward too.

Have you read the Bible passage:
 
Ephesians 6:11-13
 

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+6%3A11-13&version=KJV;NIV
 
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that
ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand.
 
The dark powers that exist are evil spirits wielding their invisible
influence upon people unaware. They mosey up next to a sin-loving
person, and inject thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, into their
flesh. The unsuspecting person thinks they simply "feel" a particular
way, or that a thought or idea just occurred to them. They are unaware
they're under spiritual assault.
 
It takes a great deal of effort to keep it all at bay, which is why the
Bible also teaches:
 
1 Thessalonians 5:14-24
 

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+thessalonians+5%3A14-24&version=KJV;NIV
 
16 Rejoice evermore.
==> 17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
 
We face a 24/7/365 onslaught of multiple incoming attackers, evil
spirits that seek to destroy us and see our soul destroyed in Hell.
 
It takes a fiercely devoted 24/7/365 response to keep them at bay. We
are assured victory, but it is a battle, ongoing battle in this flesh,
until the day we are delivered from this world.

I do not say, "Thus sayeth the Lord," but it is a thought that occurred
to me. I could be wrong.
 
Have you seen this thought that occurred to me:
 
http://www.3alive.org
https://youtu.be/oGdVtSh4wRs
 
There are other videos in the description showing the history /
progression of development over time. I'm almost ready to release the
next version. It comes with real proof that the Earth itself reveals,
which IMO indicates a clear and conscious choice to deceive people on
behalf of the existing scientists. Either that, or they are so deceived
by those dark powers at work in this world that they're literally blind
to the truth.
 
But, we'll see. In the end, truth will win. :-)

That will be a hoot, won't it? :-) We should have an online celebratory
party. We can all video conference in and you can tell me how funny it
is that I was wrong. :-)

Juha, something else to consider: Moses didn't make it into the
promised land. He died before they crossed over the Jordan River and
intered into the Land of Canaan. Moses was even 120 years old when he
died, but he didn't make it to the promised land before passing. (We
see him in the promised land at the mount of transfiguration where he
stood there with Jesus and Elijah)
 
The Law can only take you so far. It can only point out where you fail.
It cannot deliver you to salvation. If the Law had been sufficient
for salvation, Jesus would never have needed to come in to the world.
 
For salvation and deliverance from the power of the Law, we need Jesus.
Only He can set us free from sin, but taking our sin away by His
willing, conscious, purposeful death at the cross.
 
It was the ONLY way to save us from God's judgment.

You really should try some date further into the future, otherwise the
failure will be obvious already in February.
 
Here are about 50 other predictions, of which at least 43 were
apparently incorrect:
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_and_claims_for_the_Second_Coming_of_Christ
 
I bet that in about 2 days the 2020 prediction will also turn out to be
wrong. But I'm just guessing.

I can't answer the question, but Solaris used to come with a really
crappy pre-ANSI C compiler, intended (I think) for recompiling the
kernel. Perhaps that's what you were using? You had to pay a lot for
Sun's good compiler (or install gcc).

Reasonably sure, yes. As Jorgen Grahn mentions, you may have been using
a pre-ANSI compiler.
 
Any C compiler claming conformance to any C standard (C89/C90 or later)
should handle this correctly:
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
struct s {
void (*fptr)(void);
};
 
void hello(void) {
puts("hello, world");
}
 
int main(void) {
struct s obj = { hello };
struct s *ptr = &obj;
ptr->fptr();
return 0;
}
 
In K&R1 (1978), the prefix in a function call had to be of function
type, so a pointer-to-function would have to be dereferenced explicitly
and the above would have been rejected. I know SunOS 4 had a default
"cc" (/usr/ucb/cc?) that was pre-ANSI. I don't remember whether Solaris
5 still did.

I'm sure you already know this, but for open source libraries, users for
the most part do not want dependencies on other libraries.

But not self-contained in one or two files.

Personally I enjoy reinventing wheels (I spent the last few days
implementing and testing calendar and day-of-week functions).
 
But sometimes I wonder why that particular program isn't done yet.
I started writing it in 2010. I'd like to think others are more
focused on shipping something useful than I am.
