Re: [PHP] Sniping on the List
It's another nail in the coffin of deity constructors. Not even slightly. Totally since deity constructors only started to exist after the second generation of stars formed since the advent of hadronic life. But none of this has anything even vaguely related to PHP. Sure it does, the origins of the universe for Linux is January 1st, 1970, just as it is for PHP epoc time. Time for Unix didn't exist prior to that since there was no prior. People who *think* they were born before 1970 are mistaken. To further prove my point, try searching for any reference to PHP prior to January 1st, 1970. It does not exist. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Sniping on the List
rc However, what is valid is to take a point of rc reference in time and infer a period before rc it. Thus before the big bang is perfectly valid rc whether we could perceive it or not. It's a question of asking what existed before anything existed, though. The answer is not even nothing since nothing is something. There's also something bizarre and ironic in having Unix and Windows-based epoc sidereal time firmly rooted in a non-event that didn't happen over 41 years ago. The irony is that Unix epoc time wraps the supposed Mithratic Jesus birth date which also didn't happen, our computers are delusional but also logical -- amusing. This whole PHP thing about epoc time is amusing since there remains the question of what frame of reference the first second of Unix time is predicated upon. January 1st 1970 has no reality, it was never real, it was an abritrary symbol etched in to Unix to reference how many vibrations of an atom excited by a cessium rubidium maser in Goldstone, Colorado there has been since an arbitrary frame of reference. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

rc Thus before the big bang is perfectly rc valid whether we could perceive it or not. ts Not really. It's as meaningless as asking ts what's north of the North Pole. That's an interesting point. If you stand at the North Pole where all lines of reference converge, there is still Galactic North and True North if one's reference frame is Magnetic North. There are no privelaged frames of references UNLESS there is only ONE singular frame of reference. The Big Bang is a singularity event, there were no reference points in existance until the Big Bang, ergo you're so right, even saying before the Big Bang isn't even wrong. :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What if we were to throw in quantum duality in here? Null and !Null at the same time Please no, our company is trying to outsource to India and they're constantly trying to shove things through narrow slits and the effect has been costly. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Sniping on the List
Consider this -- do you think the second before the Big Bang was negative or null? I don't know. There's no point concerning ourselves with unanswerable questions. The question itself is a logical absurdity since there was no time prior to the Big Bang. The advent of time began when the dimention we perceive as the passage of time froze out of folded reality during the expansion phases's symmertry breaking period, there is not only no answer to what happened before, even suggesting there *was* a before is not possible.

Re: [PHP] PHP Security: Best Practices
I am currently researching security best practices/methods. Can anyone offer any current resources/recommendations? That is a huge arena and the question can not be answered very well without describing what you are needing to protect. Security in debth depends upon what you are protecting and who you are protecting it from, and also entails your expenses and potential loses compared to what you are willing to pay for protecting your assets. If all you're protecting is a database from unauithorized access, improper access, or accidental sabotage, the answers for what constitute best practices are merely a matter of doing Google searches for what the typical database threats are and avoiding the pitfalls. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
