And here I thought that "The Big Bang Theory" was a funny sitcom? Damn... where have I been all this time? Maybe since I wasn't around to witness it happening, it didn't really happen, and this is just my own reality, that you guys happen to be a part of, in my subconscious? Besides, are we not just all part of "The Matrix" ? (what's even more funny, is that I drive a Toyota Matrix...

Folded The "theory" of creation is not a theory. It's a hypothesis, as is "scientific creationism". From Merriam-Webster's online dictionary: Hypothesis - Synonyms: theory, proposition, supposition, thesis http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypothesis Thus before the big bang is perfectly valid whether we could perceive it or not. Not really. It's as meaningless as asking what's north of the North Pole. No, this is a false analogy. Again from Merriam-Webster: north pole: the northernmost point of the earth As such, by definition there can be no further north than the north pole. No such equivalent exists for the big bang event. Beginning of the universe? YES. Beginning of time? NO! Given the discussion, I think the following is in order: BAZINGA * 2 Thank you, I won't be here all day!

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

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

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
Re: [PHP] problem with sending AT command in php
In The Name Of Allah Thank you all for attentions ; Weird but solved with using another symbolink of Device Weird because other App in linux in the same time were using for example /dev/ttyusb1 but php code works with /dev/ttyusb3 ..
