That's just because the search index is stale. I think it gets updated hourly. I suppose I could increase the frequency because it's not a very resource intensive task.

As far as I'm concerned, those people at that time were Jews, and they believed that a messiah would save them. They thought of him as a political/military kind of savior. The Christians then believe that Jesus was the savior, and he saved humanity from the original sin in the sense that he sacrificed himself, thus making it a spiritual savior instead. Because of this, I fail to see how Christianity could exist until after his sacrifice. All of this being overly simplified of course.

Right, Δy/Δx describes the average change over a given time period. As you decrease that time period, you'll get closer to the change in a particular point in time, and as you make the time period infinitely small you get infinitely close, which is "close enough" because nothing is smaller than infinitely small (per definition).

Jesus never defined or said anything about what Christianity is (or is supposed to be). He was not Christian and Christianity did not exist at his time. You cannot at the same time say that you are Christian and that you are not religious because Christianity is a religion.

That's not entirely true. Δx typically means "some change in x" (though Big Delta means other things in other contexts) whereas dx is "an infinitesimal change in x". This is also why you write dy/dx as the derivative. Because y is dependent on x, we have that when Δx -> 0 then Δy/Δx -> dy/dx, which is also the typical way of proving that something is a derivative of something else.

I respectfully disagree that they are mutually exclusive. Natural selection is a process whereby the 'creature' most able to cope with it's environment is the most likely to survive. Evolution is the introduction of genetic mutation into the natural selection process. Natural selection by itself cannot lead to true evolution without this genetic mutation, this genetic mutation must be at least partly random in nature (unless of course you subscribe to the belief that god wanted it to happen). Right, but that doesn't mean that evolution is based on randomness. Whether a change in the genes is done by god, or by some random event does not change how natural selection and evolution works. Natural selection will still "filter" the bad mutations (or at least reduce them). It works as long as some kind of change happens. Thus it is not the evolution that is random even if the mutation is truly random (which it is not).

Wrong. If you're up for a read, read The End of Religion by Bruxy Cavey. Christianity has become a religion, yes. But it was never meant to be religious. It was meant to be a worldview. What it was meant to be by Jesus is irrelevant. You said yourself that it has become a religion, so anyone who identifies themselves as Christians are needlessly also identifying themselves as being religious. What an author of one book thinks cannot redefine that Christianity is universally considered a religion throughout the entire world. Well, a monkey typing on a typewriter will produce a Shakespeare play with infinite time. The problem is just that you cannot have infinite time, and even for ridiculously large amounts of times, the probability is still low. This is called the "infinite monkey theorem". 1) Evolution does not deal with the origin of life, it only deals with what happens when life exists. 2) Evolution is not based on randomness, but on natural selection and sexual selection. Natural selection is essentially "survival of the fittest", i.e. whomever is most fit to live in a particular environment will have better chances of survival and thus better chances of giving these traits to the next generation. Sexual selection is based on being selected for reproductive activities based on sexual preferences. Take a peacock for instance. They've got a fancy looking tail, and so do the peahen think. Therefore, having a larger, more beautiful tail means better chances of reproduction (this is an example of sexual selection) because the peahens will think you're hot. It's just a shame that having a large tail makes you less agile and less able to flee from predators. There is also some sort of fish whose name I don't remember. Anyways, the female fish think that particular kinds of marks on the male fish's fins look really hot. If you have cancer, these marks will become larger (and more beautiful in the eyes of the female fish). It's just a shame that cancer kills you and those who have greater chances of getting cancer get to pass on their genes. There are numerous examples of non-sensible sexual preferences in nature. This would be a rather unintelligent design.

You cannot be a Christian without being religious. Christianity is a religion, so if you're Christian you are per definition religious.

I've never thought about how many slices my pizza is cut into. I just eat it...

The way it's implemented is that it's a moderation action. That also explains why the button is located there (things like lock, stick, remove, etc. are there as well assuming you've got the permissions).

It sounds weird. The numbers I get for PHP Freaks are not even near the numbers you get, and that is for the entire application, not just the bootstrapping process. I'll try to profile our code some time and see where the bottlenecks are here.

How doesn't it make sense? This was of course supposed to have been the slope of a tangent line. Actually calculating the tangent line's equation is trivial though.

Heh... if professional mathematicians can't prove it, I'm not even going to bother. I might have taken a shot at it if it was already proven though.

This may sound stupid, but are you running an opcode cache like APC? Are you caching things using Zend_Cache? If yes, do you use the filesystem as backend, or something that stores it in memory like APC or memcached?

You're welcome. How much calculus have you gone through? After a while I'm sure it'll click. Depending on what you need to do, it might help thinking about a derivative in different ways. E.g. as a tangent line, the rate of change in a given point, or thinking as differentiation as the opposite of integration.

Have a look at move_uploaded_file.

Your by far best option is to pass things by argument.

Though it'll have to be echo date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$test,1,0)); because days aren't zero-indexed.

Try taking a look at http://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline

The scope is the area where some sort of action has effect: http://dk.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

Then it must've somehow been unset or it's out of scope. Try tracking the value from where it's defined up until that line.

Yeah just before l. 56, try putting var_dump($settings['quotes']) to see what it actually contains.

Yes, that error code means what you're trying to insert is a duplicate on a row that's supposed to be unique.

Why not just check if it exists before inserting?
