Hmm, the only time you refuse to give up information is when you have something to hide!

Haha - so I guess when the police come to my house and for no reason want to search it, I should allow them, because by NOT doing so, it would mean I have something to hide.

Perhaps my wife is hiding something in that dress of hers, I guess the police may want her to remove it. Maybe she's so devious she will hide it (whatever it is) in her body. They better perform a cavity search just to be sure.

It's fake in that the matches are scripted and outcome is known in advance.

It is real in that the moves being performed (excepting body hits and being beat by chairs and whatnot) are real. Those backflips, real. Think about it. A 200+lb guy. These are huge guys. Doing backflips! Jumping off rope, real. Flipping a 200lb guy in the air (even though he's helping) very real.

ikamefa:
in my opinion not a good idea !

she is going to have sex if she wants to, chastity ring or no chastity ring! _{you need to see and hear of all he sexual perversions out there now} its like placing a burden /responsibility on her at such a tender age! age 12? abeg let the girl be free!

Giving her a chastity ring is placing too much of a burden/responsibility on her at such a tender age. . .but you are ok with letting her roam wild and free to have sex? Does that make sense to you? What exactly is this undue burden or responsibility?

Boy: Hi girl, lets have sex.
Girl w/o chastity ring: Ok

Girl w/ chastity ring: *head explodes because there was too much pressure on her*

People in general don't go out looking for someone to yell at them. What we do is give people that we care about a lot more latitude in dealing with us. We forgive those times because we rationalize their actions as being caring and out of concern/love/etc for us and not to our detriment.

However. . .I do draw the line at abuse, whether I love you or not.

I don't condone stealing or kidnapping. Please return that virgin to his or her rightful home.

OP,

Your question is a little confusing. How is it that you don't already have male friends? Perhaps I'm the silly one here. For me (and most people I personally know) having friends of the opposite sex is not a big deal. We don't end up in bed with each other. Perhaps Nigerians are more oversexed than they want to believe.

If all you want is a friend, I'd suggest participating in activities that put you in contact with other people. Putting an ad out looking for male friendship will always garner you responses of a different nature.

Should partners be allowed to read each other's emails?

Sure, if they've been granted permission to do so. However, everyone has a need for some privacy in their life. For some, it could be emails, for others, it could be a diary. It could be a blog. If your partner has some part of their life they want to keep to themselves, you should respect that.

Some of the last few posts on here have hurt me.

I'm always astonished to see this kind of vitriol from Nigerians (or really Africans) in general towards African Americans and vice-versa. Perhaps I take the jabs from both sides personally, since I strongly identify with both sides of my family.

Bigoted remarks always diminishes the issuer regardless of your reasons or motivations in stating them.

You don't need to step through your code. Your error plainly says the problem occurred on line 584 in /home/naijacam/public_html/Sources/Subs.php. Look at your code on that line and around it. Why is it dividing by zero? Fix the problem.

If you only need to translate under 100 words EVER, then that approach may work. However, I get the impression that you have a lot more that needs to be translated.

Google and Alta Vista have free translation tools for certain languages. They can translate text or whole web pages. If your goal is to give people the ability to view your website in another language and don't mind showing it through google or altavista, then you can use their utility. Just provide a link. I'm making up this example:

http://www.google.com/translate=?From-English?To-German?http://www.mypage.com

If you could post more details about what you're trying to do, we could give you better ideas on how to do it.

C/C++ standard library has functions to convert numerical values to strings. So, I assume that you are not allowed to use it, otherwise, this becomes a very trivial task.

Here is a very simple example of an algorithm to convert the number 115 to a string:

let a = 115
let i = 0
allocate memory for string c
loop until a = 0
c[i] = a % 10
a = a / 10
i = i + 1
end loop
reverse string c


A few things to keep in mind. The above algorithm as is will only work for integer values. Pretty much what we are doing is taking advantage of the numerical base (base 10) which means each digit's value is 0-9 * base power. For example, 115 = 1 x 10^2 + 1 x 10^1 + 5 x 10^0. The reason this only works for integer values is because an integer divide discards any remainder. However, since you must deal with values of type double (which are not integers), you'll need to resolve this another way because division of integer/char types and division of double/float types work differently. Also, doubles can be floating point values, so you'd need to take care of decimal points as well.

I don't like doing people's homework for them so I deliberately did not post code for this. However, there should be enough info in both the example above for you to figure it out.

Proving something does not exist. Impossible you say Nferyn!

I'm waiting for the day that someone here proves a negative convincingly. Can you imagine the power of such an argument. I know I'd immediately leverage the logic used to prove or disprove everything I wanted. Nobody could stand in my path! I'd be invincible. Hahaha.

@topic, No, unless the man is weak and d woman is big.How can a woman pull down a man, hold him tight and sex-attack him? d man must be a chi-chi man But a woman can sex-attack a little boy. I've seen that in a movie. that's so corny, though.

Some men have been trained from birth not to raise a hand against a woman. Yes, such men do exist. I'm sure there can be cases where this manifests in an inability to fend off a woman, even if she is weaker than the man. This is a tough question. The definition of rape is almost universally couched from the viewpoint where a woman is the victim and a man the aggressor. With that kind of backdrop, it can be hard to see how a woman could violate a man that way.

You can try but it requires a very special set of circumstances. Both parties have to be ready to live with not having amicable relationship with one (or both) sets of parents for a long time. That was one of several reasons why my engagement ended.

How do we know that the guy was not banging his dead son's wife before his son died?

Because the title of this thread is: Can a Father Marry His Deceased Son's Widow?

The OP did not ask if a father who has been banging the wife of his son can marry her after the son dies.

But anyway, it does not matter. Having sex with someone (married or not) does not preclude you from marrying them when they become available. If that is the crux of your argument, I suggest you come up with another one.

I'll be waiting!

Even though I stopped "Digital Systems" for sometime now, I know the fastest algorithm remain those written in ASM. C no doubt is fast, ASM is just faster. I guess you of all people(an embedded system engineer) should know that the result of these compilers are optimized to handle a wide(key point, wide) programming possibilities. The result, though effective, is not the optimal for all these possibilities.

I see what you're saying. I guess what I should have said was your statement holds true up to a certain point. Many algorithms developed now are either far too complex to be coded (by a human) in assembly or the assembly code that a compiler would generate from the high level language version would be just as good or better than any human could write. So, I think that the need to "know" assembly so that you can generate fast/optimum code is steadily decreasing. There are many reasons for this but here is the major one:

Engineers don't get paid (or hired) to solve problems that other people have already solved. We get hired to solve those problems that have no know solution.

I think the set of algorithms that are best hand coded in assembly belongs to the family of problems with known solutions. So, now, people are being moved towards other things and the utility of knowing assembly decreases.

LoL - I can imagine a similar discussion going on when coders started migrating from programming using RTL to using assembly.

nferyn:
And you are absolutely certain that this specific God, with the specific properties described in the Bible, exists? What a vanity.

He's quite a confusing fella, isn't he, that God of yours? And a capricious, unpleasant deity as well.

That's the rub isn't it. The problem with proving whether or not there is a God is the same problem as proving that all of us aren't figments of somebody else's imagination. Or any other number of equally plausible. . . or implausible situations.

But in any case, the original point of this response was to point out that perhaps what people believe is God is incorrect. Assuming it is even possible for a human mind to comprehend God (which makes even more assumptions about the ability of humans to conceive of something it has never (and can never?) experience), perhaps God really is capricious and not as "nice" as we'd like.

I think both sides of the argument are more similar than they think. Both have a theory - God exists, God does not. Both have evidence that proves their case. . . in many instances the exact same evidence. The problem is - as someone has mentioned before - the evidence is subject to interpretation and there is no way to quite demonstrate that either way of looking at it is "wrong".

Grr. . . I hate only having a few seconds every few weeks to come onto this forum.

MouthAction is also sodomy. So, I guess by your reasoning, sodomy means heterosexuality too.

Al Raheem:
The day two gay kiss or touch each other in front of me in public. The day I will commit double homicide, o i promise you!!! Take this to any or all authority to let them know, I dare them to confront me about it.
I don't even have to do it- I dare y'all to walk .5 mile down any Normal Street, hand in hand watch what happen. A big Gamble, man stop that mess early-becuz u will anyway down the line. America Family Assoc. www.afa.net www.americaisdoomed.com

Really. I used to pity people like you. However, I've come to realize that you're not deserving of my pity. Instead, its those around you who need it. Instead, I hope the day you attempt to commit a double homicide is the day your ass is beat by to homosexual guys. That would be the ultimate irony.

obviously, nobody here even listens to Jay-Z's own words in his own songs

When it comes to execution speed, nuttin rocks like ASM. That's why it's the choice when it comes to Digital Signal Processing, Closed Loop Sensing in Production Environments, Signal Analyzers and a lot of embedded micro systems.

Assembly Language is a must for those who intended to go into Hardware design. Once you have a base in this, High Level Language transformation would be easy. The reverse case however is not true.

The first statement is outdated by almost 10 years now and the second is a fallacy.

I work as a full time embedded systems engineer and have been studying this area for a while now, C is the dominant language for embedded development. Now, C++ is a making a run at it. Assembly has been on the decline ever since the first cross compiler was written. Learning assembly is still very useful, especially when it is coupled with learning how a microcontroller or processor works, how memory is managed, addressing modes. Having a base in assembly also makes understanding pointers very easy later on in C/C++ which is very critical as one starts developing complex structures.

As for the second statement - the amount of complexity you can achieve in assembly and still understand everything is limited. So, any good assembly/C programmer will always be able to make the translation into a higher level language. High level languages allow you to abstract many concepts. Even something relatively simple, such as casting a variable from one type to another can be pretty intense when you have to implement it in assembly yourself. Just try having to write the assembly code to handle type casting a floating point number into an integer on a micro without any floating point hardware. In C/C++, you can easily achieve 4-5 levels of indirection and you create objects and encapsulate their functionality and hide the inner workings of things in private functions. If you were to start out in assembly trying to do that, you'd lose your mind.

BTW, what do you mean by hardware design - there is digital design (ie designing stuff using logic gates), analog design (circuits that typically don't make use of digital logic), digital circuit design (you're using digital devices here as the primary functional elements), embedded system design (which could be mostly firmware but could also involve some digital and analog circuit design. . and a little digital design as well), and a couple others. But technically, all of that is "hardware" design. Once you're at the point where coding does not require any knowledge of the inner workings of the hardware, then it becomes "software" design.

Hmm. . . seems to me God forbids women from speaking in church and slaves from running away from their masters.

Now, either God was wrong. . . or some people took a few liberties when writing the bible. Or perhaps what we see is a human being writing down what he/she thought God was saying. God says sexual immorality is wrong, human writes (well since I believe sex between two people of the same sex is immoral) homosexuality is wrong. Those are not equivalent statements.

Seeing that God CAN'T be wrong and assuming that telling a slave he was wrong for running away was not Paul pulling something out of his ass, the only explanation is that a lot of things in the bible are written due to the cultural mores of whoever was doing the writing, in spite of his/her inspiration from God.

Horus:
@WALESNot Chirstian and Not Muslim.Religion is ignorance. The word ignorance means to ignore the facts, however, when you ignore the facts, you breed beliefs; and that’s just what they (religious teachers) have, all belief and no facts. When you believe in something, you are accepting things without knowing. To break the spell of ignorance or belief, you must have knowledge: knowledge of the root of any subject.The people of old overstood how the language was shaped, and how it grew because they knew the roots. Then evil people set in to rip the plant from its root like goats (the symbol of Sama'EL) rip plants from the root, to kill the crop.

What facts am I ignoring? As far as I can tell, all available scientific knowledge is compatible with my beliefs. I'm not sure what other facts there are that could make a difference.

Akinagirl:
umm, NO

Are you saying heterosexual couples have never tried to tell other people how to raise children? In what world do you live?

fisayo:
I couldn't agree better with you

And to select the right tool, you need to have some objective comparison between a few.

this reminds me of another saying: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".

I do not think married men on the general and by default think about extramarital affairs. Yes most of them do, but a lot of women nowadays are also getting promiscuous.
