Ummmmm... fish predate all land creatures according to evolution....
that's not to say something with eggs didn't predate fish, but I'm too
lazy to go look.
But dwelling on the topic, the chicken egg problem is actually stated
incorrectly to some degree, it's a more interesting question to ask:
What came first? The chicken or the chicken egg?
Now this question is only perplexing until you realize that the concept
of "chicken egg" is ambiguous. Is a "chicken egg" an egg that was
created by a chicken, or an egg from which a chicken hatches? As such,
there are two possible answers to the age old question...
Case 1: a "chicken egg" is defined by having been created
by a chicken.
In this case the chicken must have come first :)
Case 2: a "chicken egg" is defined by being an egg from
which a chicken hatches.
In this case the egg comes first since the first
genetic chicken was born from an egg created by
it's direct ancestor that was not a chicken.
See... it's not perplexing at all :)
Cheers,
Rob.

I'm guessing it's related to "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."?
But to be honest the image wasn't too obvious and had "tasket" written
on it :)

Ummmmm... fish predate all land creatures according to evolution....
that's not to say something with eggs didn't predate fish, but I'm too
lazy to go look.
Yes, but I was talking about predecessors to the chicken, like
Archeopteryx (one of the first feathered dinosaurs), which is/was (my
education is dated) believed to be the predecessor of birds.
As far as eggs are concerned, they predate fish considerably.
So, IF the question is "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" --
then the answer is clearly "the egg".
However, if the question is "Which came first, the chicken or the
chicken's egg?" -- then the answer is much less obvious.
Evolution is alteration in the genetic code usually caused by changes
in the critter's environment. So, the question becomes, is the
alteration of the genetic code found in the egg a random fluctuation
of genetic code not found in the parent, or is it the product of a
lifetime experience, under the influence of the parent's environment,
that changed the parents genetic code in reproduction?
Also, there is a difference in the genetic code you have and the code
your pass on in terms of dominance/preference with your spouse's
genetic code. In other words, male and female produce something
different than either of them. However, for both to reach
reproduction age, they both had to have "successful" genetic makeup.
As such, their offspring has a different chance, perhaps better, of
reaching reproduction age and passing on it's contribution.
Now at what point does the offspring differ enough in genetic code to
be classified as a chicken? That's an interesting question
considering that it's offspring may not be a chicken (consider that).
Pre-chickens will have to go through numerous generations before
producing a "true" chicken in our taxonomy.
I doubt that one can demarcate the non-chicken parents from the
chicken offspring. So... it is perplexing.

From which point in the evolution do you call it a chicken egg? See it
like bytes, 00000000 is a fish egg, and 11111111 is a chicken egg,
then it went from fish egg to chicken egg like this:
00000001
00000011
00000111
00001111
00011111
00111111
01111111
11111111
So, at which point do you call it which egg, same with the fish and
the chicken itself. If you call the fish earlier a chicken than you
call the fish egg a chicken egg, then the chicken was first, if you
call the fish egg earlier a chicken egg than you call the fish a
chicken, then the chicken egg was first...

Very close. The RGB values actually give away the colors (brown
and yellow), and through string replacement and appending, the words
`task` and `ticket` become `tasket` and `tisket`, respectively. Then
their order is reversed when printed on the picture. In honor of the
British bastards like Robert Cummings ( :-P ) I used a British version
of the old nursery rhyme, which starts, "A tisket, a tasket, a brown
and yellow basket."
Now what obscure corner of childhood poetry
memories did that come from? It's easy to google... My god, Ella
Fitzgerald? THE Ella Fitzgerald?? Yowsa!
Ha! Actually, Google is where I got it from, too. I wanted to do
something a bit more involved, and as soon as I saw the first two
lines of that nursery rhyme, I already had the vision in mind.
However, I may be just a *bit* disturbed by your attraction to Ella
Fitzgerald.... especially in her present state. Though if you've ever
read her biography.... damn, what a tough lady!
Bemusedly,
Paul
Glad you enjoyed it. If I may say so myself, I thought it was
rather well done. I really enjoyed it, too.... so far, it was the
most involved --- and actually worked when ran.
/me takes a bow.

I described below how one knows which came first and for which side of
the ambiguity you choose to define "chicken egg". You're above analysis
of determining chickens from non-chickens is fabricated confusion in
your own mind. We don't need to know the time at which a bird became a
chicken, nor do we need to know it's genetic makeup. It's not important
to the greater question, all that is important is to know that at some
point, no matter when that point was or what birds were involved, there
was an instance when a hatched bird was a chicken that had two parents
that were not chickens. At that exact event when the offspring was a
chicken and the parents were not we know that the chicken was finally
born. And that event had to happen unless you believe in Creationism or
Intelligent Design.

Don't do that. Unless you have a teency weency set of data don't use
LIKE syntax to match data. It's extremely inefficient and requires
scanning the entire table. If you need to use MySQL use the MATCH
AGAINST syntax since it will index the data and search much faster. I've
heard tell it sucks beyond a certain size, but it's great for quick
solutions and moderate sized data. If you need something more powerful
look into something like Lucene.
Cheers,

I have written a PHP (v5.1) app to parse a bunch of MIME files. It works for
the vast majority, but sometimes I get this error:
mailparse_msg_extract_part_file(): mbstring doesn't know how to decode plain
transfer encoding!
It appears to be when messages have Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
or Content-Transfer-Encoding: plain or a combination of the two. I've searched
on the error message and only found a url that times out.
Does anyone have any experience with this? The code in question is this (it's
part of a function that gets the email body):
foreach ($this->_sectiondata as $index => $data)
{
$contdisp = $this->_getHeaderData($index, 'content-disposition');
if ($contdisp == "" && $data['content-type'] != 'multipart/mixed')
{
$sec = mailparse_msg_get_part($this->_mimehandle, $index);
ob_start();
/* extract the part from the message file and dump it to the
output buffer */
mailparse_msg_extract_part_file($sec, $this->_filename);
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$this->_body = $contents;
}
}
Thanks!

well, if I understand what you are asking to do, it should be as simple
as this.
<?php
$values[] = "name1 %we %tr ";
$values[] = "name2 %de.%ty %sd";
$values[] = "name3 %we 5te %mt/% Hs";
$tmp[] = "%tr";
$tmp[] = "%uy";
$tmp[] = "%xc";
foreach ( $values AS $k => $v ) {
if ( isset( $tmp[$k] ) ) {
$values[$k] = $v . $tmp[$k]; // This puts it on the end
$values[$k] = $tmp[$k] . $v; // This puts it at the start
}
}
print_r($values);
?>
Hope this helps

So after I recently upgraded from php4 to php5 I noticed that email
attachments > 88k get truncated at 88k within squirrelmail/roundcube,
however those same email attachments work just fine if I hit the imap
server in thunderbird etc...
Has anyone else run across this before? I've seen other bugs on different
sites, but I did not manage to find any answers to this puzzle.
thanks

Not at all true. Dreamweaver has a fully-functional regexp search in both Text

Use PDO. It emulates prepared statements and doesn't avoid the query cache:
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, TRUE);

As far as I'm aware, eggs don't predate anything. How could they - they
don't have legs or mouths so couldn't eat anything if they could run to
catch it :-)

Don't confuse predation with predate :)
