Good attempt, just for surety, why not ;-)</p>
<p dir="auto">And I’ve to admit that I used to “abuse” churches too - in the summer it was nice and cool there and, most importantly, quiet, so I could study there and prepare for my exams :-)</p>

<p dir="auto"><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/uid/12335">@Terry-R</a> <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/uid/23651">@Lycan-Thrope</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Otherwise on topic - there are IMO no complete atheists (in the sense of believing in something that is beyond my reach or ordinary understanding), everyone has their own faith. But while someone believes e.g. that gravity will still work tomorrow when they wake up, someone else believes in the virgin conception of the Virgin Mary, when the Holy Spirit entered her. For me, religion just parasites on and shackles the natural human need to believe in something better/bigger, something that gives human existence true meaning and a greater dimension.</p>

I also reject the petty thoughtless “I don’t comprehend so it can’t be true” nonsense so I’ll ignore any trolling from anyone.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also some basic psychology for anyone reading: do I know your life? No. I didn’t grow up in your life, know your people, your places, your experiences. The same holds true in reverse. So everyone knows something that other people do not know. So never make the severe massive psychological mistakes of thinking you’re an all-knowing deity because most people make this mistake and remaining ignorantly willing slaves!</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>There is no government.</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Whenever you see ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (and no, not screaming on the Internet context) that is a CORPORATE ENTITY. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, STATE OF MAINE, MAINE STATE, COUNTY OF, CITY OF - extra, those are all CORPORATE ENTITIES.</p>
<p dir="auto">However what is a CORPORATION? It’s suppose to be a form of business.</p>
<p dir="auto">What is a business? A group of people who work together to create profit.</p>
<p dir="auto">Well, that isn’t good enough, we need contrast. What is a business not?</p>
<p dir="auto">A business does not impose on the natural rights of others because then it is a criminal organization. What else is a business not?</p>
<p dir="auto">A business is not neutral due to the inherent right of discrimination. The political extremists like to demonize rights. Anyone who thinks discrimination is a bad thing now suddenly doesn’t have the right to appeal being forced to marry a volcano. Have fun on your wedding night! Discrimination is one of many critical sovereign rights.</p>
<p dir="auto">When you discriminate you are not neutral. So that brings us back to CORPORATIONS acting as “government”. What is the role of government? To protect it’s nation or country and play a neutral role of lawful (never LEGAL) courts of law.</p>
<p dir="auto">So if a CORPORATION is supposed to be a form of business that is for-profit and therefore not neutral it has zero right to conduct itself as a “neutral” entity therefore any CORPORATE entity that represents itself as a “government” entity of any kind is instantly and irrevocably a criminal organization!</p>
<p dir="auto">Go look up “government” signs across the world like in marxist occupied China. You will always see Latin characters as a secondary way as not all alphabets have upper and lower case characters. Suddenly you’re seeing fake governments everywhere because the criminal conspiracy has long been global for well over a century. The sovereign country of the United States of America became an anarchist state with the Act of 1871.</p>
<p dir="auto">So that is all part of fascism, CORPORATISM which has two levels of foundation beneath it. The direct next lower foundation is FRAUD BY COMMERCE. Commerce is not business, it is criminal activity masquerading as “business”. Example: I was attacked by CORPORATE POLICY ENFORCERS (the “police”) and one of the criminals said it was “nothing persona, just business”. That is the criminal manipulation of language.</p>
<p dir="auto">What is a good example of a manipulation of language? A dude puts on a wig, dress, high heels, pads a bra and he’s suddenly a woman? Oh hell no! He’s got severe mental issues! The criminals pretend like they’re protecting freedom of freedom and expression but that part is marxism: slavery. Karl Marx the author of the communist manifesto can be quoted simply: “…the abolishment of private property”. Who does not own private property? SLAVES! So marxism and fascism are like the left and right wing: they are attached to the same bird! You are intended to think they are the opposite of each other when in fact those groups are working together for literal global slavery. The more pressure and social destruction there is the easier it is to conquer people! They literally want global slavery!</p>
<p dir="auto">So that is why subjective use of language must always be absolutely rejected! LEGALISM is the explicit manipulation of language! The police are trained to convince you that you are “driving” a “vehicle” when, by LEGALESE criminal language you are “traveling” in your “car” (or “truck”). They are not law enforcement because they are literal criminals! Some do not know it and did not join the police with criminal intentions but many do know that they’re criminals and explicitly like being criminals.</p>
<p dir="auto">So the goal for every ethically sound individual is to disengage from commerce and remove their ignorance on how to punish the criminals for their attacks on us. In example when you are abducted (because criminals never have the right to arrest) you reject the fake court’s notion that they have jurisdiction. I have several videos now of people holding their ground with the fake “judges” fleeing the fake “courts” and one even admitting they work for “the CORPORATION”. Literally all criminal! All legitimate businesses that were tricked in to registering (LEGALESE for surrender!) have the full right to disavowal the CORPORATE entity that they were coerced to register in bad faith! It is a straw man misrepresentation because the criminals are required to only interact with other CORPORATE ENTITIES while in “contract” with them. Any criminal that says you can’t is, big surprise: lying!</p>
<p dir="auto">Individuals are also targeted with CORPORATE ENTITIES by the next foundation below that of FRAUD BY COMMERCE. That is FRAUD BY PERSONAGE. To personify a CORPORATE ENTITY (straw man) to intentionally misrepresent a living human being as CORPORATE ENTITY so the criminals can “contract” with you.</p>
<p dir="auto">Do you have a driver’s license?</p>
<p dir="auto">Yes? Criminal!</p>
<p dir="auto">No one has the right to suggest or dictate that you have to ask permission to act on your natural sovereign rights such as the right to travel!</p>
<p dir="auto">Is your name on the driver’s license?</p>
<p dir="auto">No! JOHN SMITH is a fictitious CORPORATE ENTITY criminally made in John Smith’s name without his explicit consent! Consent is only lawfully (never LEGALLY!) full and explicit comprehension (never “understanding” which means willing slavery).</p>
<p dir="auto">Example: “hey bro, she’s knocked out drunk, she can’t say no!” is still rape because the lack of capacity to consent is explicitly not consent! So rapes and when fake judges make a decision (because you don’t know how to disengage from fake courts or that they’re even fake to begin with) the fake “judge” will imply a decision on your behalf, that is called FRAUD BY TACIT CONSENT! Tacit means implied however you can not imply consent as consent is irrevocably always and in absolutely always explicit. If you don’t comprehend and agree then you literally have zero capacity to consent. To imply you’ve consented is fraud by tacit consent!</p>
<p dir="auto">Back to the primary topic: the UNITED NATIONS INCORPORATED criminal organization has zero rights. These are non-elected people and while many people involved in fake government and government-like fake organizations have legitimate intentions on helping others we can see for example when the pro-German candidates were all clearly murdered so the globalists could keep destroying Germany (I am Polish, that should hold some weight). These criminal organizations need to be dismantled, to say the least.</p>
<p dir="auto">Everyone literally has the lawful right to shoot to kill criminals literally and ironically working to enslave all of humanity. I don’t recommend doing so however until you know how to nullify all aspects of the criminal organizations.</p>
<p dir="auto">For now people need to learn how to disengage from COMMERCE for starters. Everyone needs to file their UCC1 which gives them access to a bank account with large amounts of money that misrepresents each person as a “common stock”. Any time. All CORPORATIONS engaged in COMMERCE use social security numbers and that means any bill they send you is already paid! You have to learn how to “endorse the coupon” because when you “pay a bill” you’re giving those criminals double the money! A traffic ticket at the state level of the 37 lawfully joined states and the rest of the territories like Montanan make over a million dollars from a a single speeding ticket! Never endorse criminal tickets and everything with JOHN SMITH fraud by personage on it that they give you is literal evidence of their crimes!</p>
<p dir="auto">The next bit is to learn how to force criminals to pay you for their crimes via TORT POLICY! Since COMMERCE is explicitly criminal that means anyone for any reason trying to trick/force/coerce/etc you is guilty of numerous crimes. TORT POLICY is per their fake jurisdictions. You need to look it up for your state/providence/county and it’s all there!</p>
<p dir="auto">The biggest part of TORT POLICY that is wonderfully subjective is that these criminals literally steal your time. But people are not equal in anything except rights. Well guess what? I’m the developer of an entire web platform written entirely from scratch by myself. My time is very valuable and I set my own rates. That means when I redeem damages to my literally unrecoverable time from criminals I set my rates high, like $20 million an hour. If a criminal is that stupid I will very quickly bankrupt them. You just have to get your mentality in the right place and figure out how that paper works in your region.</p>
<p dir="auto">We can and will win but there will be loses because we can’t help stupid people. Reality is absolute, your perception is relative. We hear only between the 20 to 20,000 Hz. We see only between 400–790 terahertz. That is trillions of hertz. What can’t you see or hear between 20,001 and 399,999,999,999,999 hertz? So no, again, no one is an all-knowing deity. Stop trusting false believe as knowledge! *Verify&amp; things otherwise you’re building your entire perception of reality based on false belief! Otherwise you risk doing worse than marrying a “woman” named Tammy who was once a dude named Timmy.</p>

We housed a couple of IBM mainframes a DEC and a Wang.</p>
<p dir="auto">Yep, they actually had a Wang and a user would backup stuff from their office on 5 1/4" floppies.<br />
When they would attempt to restore the data from the floppies they kept having problems.<br />
The support desk worked with them for weeks, trying to find the issue.<br />
All possible issues were eliminated and finally they had someone go to the site and sit with them to make sure that what they said they were doing was actually what they were doing.<br />
So, they sat there and watched them run the backup process and feed several 5 1/4" floppies into the PC/terminal.<br />
The job finished and the lady took the small stack of floppies and said, “I then take these and put them on the filing cabinet” and she walked over to the filing cabinet and took a large magnet on the cabinet and stuck the floppies to the side of the cabinet with the magnet!<br />
Honestly, people just don’t get it.</p>
<p dir="auto">When, someone called into support one of the very first questions we always had to ask was, “Is the computer or monitor plugged in.”  Way too many times the answer was eventually, “no”.  Most liked to argue that, “of course it’s plugged in.”</p>

<p dir="auto">Npp’s code makes frequent use of hard coded values, negative logic, and path not taken style of coding.  It keeps you on your toes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">You state this like it is overall a “bad thing”.  IMO, it in general is very typical code for its time.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ll not agree with “frequent use of hard-coded values”, generally.  The case you’re discussing, though, may be an exception with its introduction of -2.  The use of -1 is fairly typical, though.  I’m not a fan of it, as it often makes things “awkward”, but I did just use it myself in the code that returns the color id of a tab (where -1 signifies “no color”).</p>
<p dir="auto">For use of “negative logic” and “path not taken”, I can’t comment unless some specific examples are given, but again I think N++ code is pretty typical of most code of its era in this regard.</p>
