It's fun to go back and re-read computery pontifications after like 15 years ... amazing how much is still the same, but also how much is so different. Linux as a pc os is dead to me after fighting it for 20+ years with the same problems lingering the whole time. Windows still kicks ass though Microsoft has sort of become a "who cares" much like the PC has in the home. Java ... still sucks for writing servers but mobile apps have no doubt moved to it thanks to Android. The kernel is still linux-based aka written in c/c++ Java garbage collection still can kick your ass if you are writing a performance-driven server .. for most other non-critical servers, all these languages have come a looooong way and they are all starting to look the same ... and this is not really a good thing. Too much magic has made things easy to write but sometimes impossible to understand and debug... Never-the-less, this thread was fun read (at least for me)

They should just call it "Ancient Over There" as opposed the "Ancient What Was Here".

Sounds like maybe they should save us all the trouble with seeking the death penalty and let the FBI "interrogate" Dzhokar a bit more.

The good news out of this sad story is that at least some of their sheep get a little break.

Hmmmm ... didn't Arpa say he was going take his yacht to Sydney for a little while?

Sure but where are you going to find a smart Turk?

Anyone seen Azat at all lately?

Yervant jan, find us a Konyak buffet and Mosjan, Arpa, Samuel, Man and I will head over right now

Wow Kufta and Konyak? Now you are all talking my language!

This year the theme was meats apparently ... visited inlaws in Texas and man oh man ... I haven't had that much meat in my life in such a short period of time ever And I thought Armenians were in love with their meats.

Did Jesus also Know that most of the world Will celebrate His Birthday on the Wrong date? Also did He know they would confuse His birth with Massive Commercialism and the pagan Practice of decorating a tree? Also at What point Did Santa become the Bearer of The Lord's Kingdom?

Armenian "Christmas" gift in December? I don't think I understand. Seems like it was just a gift. What did Christmas have to do with this?

Dorians ... pretty dam awesome .. thanks for that!

There's an updated version of that now

Haha .. fantastic!
