First off, repeated posting doesn't get you answers any faster - it
just demonstrates full-on n00bishness.

To answer your actual question, there isn't any way to make a value
that is truly un-alterable. See this post for more info:

If you're depending on a programming language to defend you against
programmers, you need to fire the programmers...
