Christianity EtcRe: Is It Proper To Pay Tithe Of The Money You Got From Gambling??? by paranorman(m): 11:32am On Oct 03, 2016
Yes o. It's also advisable to pay tithes from proceeds of Prostitution, looting, cheating, hired assassination, robbery, money ritual/blood money, thuggery and all manner of evil vices.

Do this and watch how God will bless you abundantly, and give you long-life and properity.

Infact, the ultimate price is you making heaven, hallelujah!

So, keep gambling as hard as you can, more greese to your elbows..

Optimus Prime: Autobots, it's high time we became virtual. We must hide our bodies somewhere to escape the imminent threat. We have become a threat to the existence and well-being of our hosts - the humans. But I fear I do not know where to exert our presence online.

Bubble-bee: Optimus, Nairaland is a starting place. It has lot of traffic and we can monitor events from it's front page.

Wit-wicky: sure. Just search for any thread about snakes, comment and you will be on the front page in no time! I bet my granpa's priceless glasses on that! Trust lalasticlala on that.

Iron-hide: who, on this green earth, is lalasticlala?!

Wit-wicky: some guy or girl crazy about snakes!

EducationRe: While Trump And Hillary Debated I Wept For Our Universities by paranorman(m): 7:17pm On Oct 01, 2016
After reading your piece, I just smiled. Not for pleasure though, but for a rather disconcerting course which education (in Nigeria) has treaded through, still treading through and may likely still going to thread through; and result of the conpiscuous failure, better still - failures, of the failure called our political system...

Our leaders is our curse.
I just pity the short-sightedness of the 'fans' of APC and PDP! The annoying and worrying thing is that the children of these supporters' 'saviour' school abroad, get exposure, get better opportunities, better access to wealth, power, et al. Children of the poor 'supporters' get illluck-struck, and so the cycle of 'dumminism' keeps going round it's circle, around it's axis of mental slavery.

Well, as for me, I am thinking hard; praying hard and working so I can give my kids the best, and any other person(s) whose life(lives) I can impact positively. God, this is what I want. So, give it to me!

Op, you write well. You really do, i envy your skills.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Alpha-numeric Phone Numbers. by paranorman(m): 3:50pm On Sep 28, 2016
Quite easy.
Just denotes the button to push on the key-pad.

First, in most cases, you gotta think of the keypad as that of a 'nokia touch light' phone, non-qwerty.

When you type messages on this keypad, you have to repeatedly press a button till you get the characters you want.

Same principle applies to the alpha-numeric numbers but this time, you only have to press the button once for each alphabet character.

Say I have 080sendText, this is equivalent to typing 08073638398.

Remember, each button of the keypad is alpha-numeric in function; i.e., each keypad has both numbers and alphabet written on them, especially numbers 2abc to 9wxyz..

So if I have Something 0803abcwxyz, it's same as 08032229999..
080-olodoBoy = 080-6563869
01-Jesus-Christ = 01-53787-347478

if you still don't understand, get a phone with non-querty keypad, look onto keypad especially key 2-9, notice how the alphabets written on the keys are arranged. You'll understand.

Christianity EtcRe: Spirit, Soul And Body Of Man by paranorman(m):
Smallville10:
Please can any enlightened christian differenciate btw d 3 (spirit soul body). I have made research and gotten answers but i need to know if anyone can explain better
The body is just a container of the spirit and soul. Your spirit is the real you. Once the spirit leaves, the body dies. Your spirit is your life, just like Jesus is a life-giving spirit. Whatever happens to your spirit in the spiritual is made manifest in the physical realm. Before things manifest in the physical realm, it happens first in the spirit. Just like having a bad dream(about death, deliverance, blessing, evil e.t.c).

The spirit and the soul is not the same as depicted by Heb 4:12.....

Your intellect, understanding, natural human mentality, your personality, your mind are all part of your soul.

When a person gives his life to Christ, the Spirit is saved, but the soul needs to be renewed, 'made a creature'. That's a why some Christian struggle with evil thoughts, or still find it hard to be totally honest.. With the word, you renew your soul.

So, you and I are different souls.

Read the book 'how you can be lead by the spirit of God' by Kenneth Hagin; you'll fully understand the entities.
Christianity EtcRe: Between Prayer And Efforts Which One Should Be Our Priority? by paranorman(m): 7:25pm On Sep 25, 2016
Hehehehehe...
Put effort in the right direction. First, pray for direction from God,

when God gives you a go, put effort, more effort and always ask God to direct your steps else, you'd be wasting your effort doing something that's not meant for you.

hehehehehe... Your mentality is as expected.
Your view from the perspective of a consumer and I am thinking like a producer. Buy what you can afford or what makes sense to you. Your opinion will not stop people from buying the product here in Nigeria, even in this economic loophole we got ourselves in. Even as rich as Dangote is, he has got his own taste: he can't do cheap cars! ..... Maybe you're a student, maybe you still live with your parents. Maybe you're tenant, you will wanna build your own mansion to your taste and you'd probably buy Dangote cement, won't you? Or, would you?

My brother, we are from different worlds, I am a Martian.

Advice: Learn to express your opinion without insulting. 'twill help your spirit and make it pure!

ProgrammingRe: What Is The Difference Between Runtimeexception And Exception Classes? by paranorman(op): 11:35am On Sep 22, 2016
dueal:
Typically in OOP languages that support structured exception handling(SEH) every exception is is a datatype. So to follow OOP ideas, Exception class is a general datatype to represent exceptional conditions which derived classes can inherit from to specify a more concrete exception.

RuntimeException class then is a concrete type to strictly represent runtime exceptions. It's kindof a redundant name but hey...it's there.
okay, thanks.

currently running XAMPP(with PHP and MySQL servers) on my dev environ. Sometimes, it's easier to design a DB with MS Access compared to MySQL Workbench.
Is there anyway I can connect to MS Acess DB using PHP via XAMPP? Or connect to MySQL/MS free Dev SQL server via XAMPP(php)? Is this even possible or I need another app to bridge the gap? Thank you..

FamilyRe: Which Is The Best Option To Land A Good Wife? by paranorman(m): 7:38pm On Sep 18, 2016
Do that and make the worst mistake of your life!
I bet you haven't met pretenders, they'd pretend till you end up in marriage..
Bro, there's no proper way to find the right lad for marriage these end times..

If you're a true Christian, my advice is for you to pray and fast personally about it. You don't need any pastor or soothsayer to help as long you're a true child of God. Ask God to reveal your wife to you. Pray in your closet. Fast and let not a soul know. Don't not ask for any sign. Just ask God to reveal your true wife to you. Marriage can either make or mar you as a man. Don't go for a girl because she's very religious or her father is a pastor or she sings like an angel or she has the anointing of Elijah or your great-grand granpa can vouch for her or she's beautiful or she's rich/gainfully employed e.t.c. Seek God's direction and you'l be happy man for the rest of your life. DON'T HURRIEDLY ENTER a LIFE-TIME BOUNDAGE, pray and wait on God for a lifetime BLISS!

I create problems for myself or try to solve some existing one, or try to improve a pre-existing code. When the need comes to learn some advanced stuffs, I do. When I see some codes pros write and I understand it or can make it better, I rank myself higher.

ProgrammingRe: Where Do I Get Practice Questions On Python? by paranorman(m): 9:39pm On Sep 06, 2016
Oga, create problems for yourself and solve them..

I know PHP. I created a quiz program, a die game(I called Gambler's Ruin - name after a model in Statistics), a created a mini-PHPMyAdmin with my own DB-library, I created a class that can build web-templates on the go e.t.c, Even now, I am working on a social web app like FB that can do FB event basics(create posts, like, comment, replies, report e.t.c., a mini-blog will even be integrated into it where everyone on friends' list have a general interaction)..

You might think you know how to code just because you know how to use lots of functions offhand, when you go practical you'l find out you know nothing! Been there.. Now, I am better.

Lemme give you a simple tasks:

-write a program that rolls a die ONCE(value of the die is hidden), then askes the user to guess the value of die.. The program keeps asking the user the die value as long as the value entered by the user is wrong. The program will also print the number of times it takes a user to make a right guess if it took more than a single turn to get right. Once the user gets it right, the program resets; i.e., the die is rolled again...
Tip: you needa manage persistence. A die has 6 faces, generate a random number between ..... ..

Task Two:
create a quiz game. The web app/app will have an admin panel to create and modify quizes. Security comes into mind.

A user logs in, select any of the existing quizes and takes it. The prgram grades the quiz, records it (together with the user's info, of course!).. The program tells the user if he beats the average score or if he scores below the average score, and if he beats the high score! If he beats the high score, he becomes the record holder!
Average score does not exist if no user took a particular quiz, i.e., average score is always calculated at run-time (for a particualr quiz).

Hint: you need to manage data, choose JSON/XML and txt/csv format, don't do DBMS for now. You'l need more than one script to handle this, except you wanna nest IF's statements till you enter into the chasm of confusion.

Task 3:
Create a gambling game.
Program askes for the number of player at start of games(no more than 4 players a time, for ease), the amount of initial cash, and names of the players for identification.

Each player has a turn to roll a die, looses money if a condition is met or gains cash otherwise(say wins N3 if roll is greater than 4, looses N3 if it is less, just choose your own conditions)..

The game can only be ended if the individual number of rolls of die for each player is equal, i.e., a 'end game' button appears if

rolls of player one = rolls of player two = rolls = ... = rolls of player n..
If game is ended, prints game summary and all info is deleted to start a new game afresh..

Hint: you needa create class, an instance of the class is created for each player at run-time.

I am no pro, still learning the hard way, a rookiest rookie I am.. Have fun and give your brain headaches.
