CrimeRe: My Story As A Cult Member........initiation Phase Included... by paranorman(m): 6:51pm On Dec 13, 2020
Altair25:
A few hours till initiation, i fell asleep. When next i opened my eyes, i was in a white room, i didn't recognize the room but i took note of the fragrance of the room. It was easily the cleanest room i had ever seen. I was dressed in white apparel as well, pristine white polo, an equally white pair of joggers and white tennis shoes. I took note of the fact that the source of the rooms fresh smell was a white air conditioner on the wall that filled the room with its pleasant fragrance. Suddenly, the fresh smell changed to something rotten, like the stench of rotting corpses. I looked around me to see piles upon piles of corpses around me, all of them in varying states of decay. The air conditioner was gone and it's place, there was a huge metal tap. The tap was turned on, but instead of water, thick jets of blood blasted out of the nozzle and began to fill the room with blood. I wanted to scream but my mouth wouldn't open, wanted to cry but my tears ducts were dry. It felt as if something inside me had died.
Interesting! You received a vision from God of what you were about to be initiated into really is; bloodshed and death!

ProgrammingHelp With Implementing A Scrollbar In Java Using The AWT Package by paranorman(op): 4:50pm On Mar 31, 2020
Hello folks..

I , a newbie, am currently studying how to implement scrollbar in java. awt . * package and I haven't figured out how to implements a dynamic scrollbar yet..

I want to design an application whose home-screen/window/frame default size would be as large as user's PC screen size, e.g. 1366 * 768

So this app will be as wide as 1366 and as long as 1500 in length. Therefore, I'd need a dynamic scrollbar attached to the window's right side/bottom traditionally, the scrollbar should also maintain its position as the window side is adjusted by a user (dynamic).

I have tried looking into the window's event listener interface in the package to see if any method is attached to the window resize event, could find any in the material I am using to study.

I want to know if its possible with awt, if not, please recommend another package with code snippet example that suits my use case.. thank you

tripplephi:
why not just get a WIFI phone.... bluetooth technology doesnt work that way

YOU CAN NOT USE ANY PC TO BROWSE BY ITSELF... all PCs connect to something external via cable or wirelessly before they can browse...so why do you now want to connect to the PC which is not the main internet carrier... a CLIENT CONNECTION can never give you access to browse.... it is just not possible... YOU NEED A DIRECT CONNECTION BEFORE YOU CAN BROWSE.
Oga, calm down. who wouldn't be using a wifi enabled phone? I know why I wanted this and I have searched for solutions online and I have seen quite a number of them but I am still looking for the best suited solution.

PC is already connected to the internet. You could browse the internet using Bluetooth tethering where your phone serves as the access point. I want the process reversed.
PhonesHow To Browse The Internet Using The Bluetooth Of An Andriod Phone by paranorman(op): 4:59pm On Feb 25, 2020
I want to be able to browse the internet on any android phone using Bluetooth of the phone like you'd normally do with wifi.

The android device becomes the Bluetooth client and while another device, say a PC, becomes the server. I am sure you get my analogy.
In other words, I want to browse on the android phone via Bluetooth connection to a PC with an internet connection. Please, understand this situation.

Any help, please... Anybody?!

ProgrammingRe: [Code Review Help] Explanation In Java Needed by paranorman(op): 7:40pm On Oct 11, 2019

what is the content of the output.txt file
I typed it out in my post above, in the "in text file is" session.
Programming[Code Review Help] Explanation In Java Needed by paranorman(op): 1:21pm On Oct 11, 2019
A semi-colon delimited file exists, I just wanna output its content to the console after splitting it like this using PHP:

try {
if (($fp = fopen("output.txt", "r" ) ) ) {
while (!feof($fp)) {
$line = explode(";", fgets($fp, 1024)) ;
list($firstname, $lastname, $othername) = $line ;
print "First name: $firstname; Last name: $lastname; Other names: $othername <br /> " ;
}
fclose($fp);
} else {
throw new Exception("Error: File is not available" ) ;
}
} catch(Exception $e) {
//implement control logic here ;
}

The above code works as expected

Java's output of this code is funny:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Test2 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
File file = new File("output.txt" ) ;
Scanner in = new Scanner(file) ;

int count = 1;
while (in.hasNextLine()) {
if (in.nextLine().contains( " ; " ) ) {
String names[] = in.nextLine().split( " ; " ) ;
System.out.printf("(%d) Your name is %s %s %s\n", count, names[0], names[1], names[2] ) ;
} else {
throw new Exception("String " + in.nextLine() + " does not contain ; " ) ;
}
count++;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage()) ;
}

}


}

output:
(1) Your name is jacob zuma zoomzoom
(2) Your name is abbey jackson teme


This java code works just fine, as expected:
import java.io.* ;
import java.util.* ;
import java.util.regex.* ;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {
File file = new File("output.txt" );
Scanner in = new Scanner(file) ;

int count = 1;
while (in.hasNextLine()) {
String names[] = in.nextLine().split(Pattern.quote( " ; " ) ) ;
System.out.printf("(%d) First name: %s; last name: %s; other names: %s \n", count, names[0], names[1], names[2]) ;
count += 1;
}
in.close() ;

} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.print("An error has occured" ) ;
System.out.println(e.getMessage() ) ;
}

}

}

output:
(1) First name: john; last name: doe; other names: wick
(2) First name: jacob; last name: zuma; other names: zoomzoom
(3) First name: optimus; last name: primus; other names: autobots
(4) First name: abbey; last name: jackson; other names: teme



The text file is (output.txt)
john;doe;wick
jacob;zuma;zoomzoom
optimus;primus;autobots
abbey;jackson;teme


question:
Why is the console output of the first java program omitting the odd rows of the text file?!
NL smileys are getting in the way, so I had to space some characters oddly out.

Christianity EtcRe: Can A Man Advice God?? by paranorman(m): 8:57pm On Oct 07, 2019
Man cannot advise God, no.
....And there is a difference between intercession and advice. Moses was intercedding on behalf of the Isrealites. Abraham did something like this when he interceded on behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah because of Lot's presence in those cities, God didn't heed to Abraham's plea for two cities but saved Lot (and members of his families that Lot could) which was what Abraham wanted anyway. Samuel interceded for Saul and God rejected it. Standing in the gap is something God does not overlook and we have read several examples in the bible.

God also initiated several discussions with his prophets and judges in the old testament just to hear what they have to say and then agree to it.
Jesus did same and got the perfect responses, sometimes, from folks seeking miracles, and even from His disciples.

God even honoured the request of some folks when they asked for signs in the old testament and Jesus gave none to those that asked for it in the new testaments since they had the books of the prophets to read from back then.

The need for reorientation is one thing I wave aside and I always think 'shouldn't people know these things? ' The force needs a mental overhaul. Their salaries, benefits and walfare packages needs overhaul, else they will continue these misconduct. For those that have had experience similar to this harassment, you'd hate the police. A armed robber could even treat you better than a cop.
