    what do you mean "scan it?"
  2. How the heck did you come to this conclusion? Are you talking about me? As I said before, I would NEVER "buy a wife" just to be married If no one outside appreciates that kind of thinking, then how do you explain all the brides for sale businesses that are popping up outside the US? The most notable ones originating from all parts of Russia?

    It's hard to say what will be affected how. Here is a simple test Hye_Acher: 1) When there is a blurred image on your screen, press the "Print Screen" key. 2) Start Microsoft paint (start->Programs->Accessories) 3) From the edit menu, select Paste 4) Drag the pasted image so that there is a blurry picture and also some text near the top left corner 5) In the Image menu, select Attributes 6) Type 300 for hight and 300 for width and select ok 7) Save the image as a BMP file 8) email that picture to gevo. If there is a virus or a spyware or something making the images blurry, then they should be blurry in that picture you saved and sent to gevo. If there is a problem with the monitor or video card or cables or monitor settings, then the picture would be just fine.

    Gevo, there are 3 beams in a CRT tube for red, green, and blue. If they don't line up precisely, you will get blurry images. Please explain to me how spyware or a virus can make a digital image appear blurry?
  5. Well that's what these guys do, isn't it? I highly doubt that "love" is behind these types of marriages.
  6. I'm not stupid enough to go to outside of US to buy a wife.

    I know it may sound stupid but to add something to what Bell said, check your cable connection. A loose VGA cable can cause a poor image sometimes. Also, as bell said, make sure you don't have any electrical things plugged next to the monitor. One example would be if your monitor is sitting on a surge protector and you have a power supply (like for speakers) connected to the back of the surge protector. That is the worst position as the magnetic field from the power supply can really screw up the CRT beam in the monitor. So to diagnose: 1) Move around your monitor see if there are any changes 2) Make sure all cables are plugged in fine 3) Try it with a different monitor ... maybe take the PC to a friend's house or somewhere else with another monitor and see how the picture looks. If the pictures look good on a different monitor than yours then we know the problem is your monitor. But if they still look bad, then we can start talking about changing settings and what not on your PC.
  8. Are you seriously trying to tell me a smart young person is better off living in Armenia than in the US? A smart girl would know marriage is not the end of the road. You get married, come here, spend a few years go to school, learn the language, become independent, get your citizenship and dump the loser (assuming the marriage isn't working) and go live a beautiful life... or go back to Armenia if you want. The world would be in your hands then and all you have given up is only a few years of your youth (which I consider a very wise investment).
  9. Then they wouldn't be that "smart" then would they?

    Sorry but that's just about the stupidest thing I have ever heard. What does blood type have anything to do with comprehension?
  11. What eyes? Azat or Vava, do you see any eyes?

    My gut feeling when I first read the post is that the colors (red, green, and blue) are not lining up correctly in her CRT (I assume it is a CRT monitor and not a flat LCD). In that case, the colorful pictures would look blurry but the black text would not be affected much. I still think it's a hardware problem with the monitor (beam focusing issue). Some monitors (like mine) let you fine tune the color convergance on them but the cheaper ones don't.
  13. From the hydraulic steering guy ... sounds like pretty dangerous for driving on the freeway
  14. That's an awesome setup gevo! I like it I have not seen too many jeeps running around like that on streets and I will look into it. My #1 concern is always safety. I am not good enough to make a system like that myself ... I neither have the time, the tools, nor the knowledge. The steering that the jeep has right now is ok. As I said the tie rod and the ends are still stock and a bit weak but with the way I wheel, they should hold up fine. I will upgrade them sooner or later. One step at a time ... but I don't think I will do such an extreme change to the steering ... I want to keep the jeep streetable and not an offroad-only rig. I will probably be driving it out to Utah in a couple of months Oh and as far as the lovey dovey smilies ... do you know any girls that will let me treat them like I treat the jeep?

    how did you figure that out? I guess we need more info. What does it mean "pictures on internet" and what is blurry? So is the text fine? Just the smilies are blurry? Are there any pictures that are not blurry?

    Armenianclub is a dating and hookup site with the added bonus of making some friends along the way. It is definitely a neat concept but nothing original ... I think the people there have done an excellent job with the website though. Their intention may have been to create an "armenian club" but that does not always work out as you plan. People will do with it as people want to usually. For example, I don't think anyone knew the internet was going to become the most advanced, globally decentralized high speed communication medium to distribute porn and spam. About their forum, just by the nature of the site it tends to attract the young, single, and horney crowd whose goal is often to see and be seen. This is not to say that interesting discussions don't take place or can't take place there but the "discussion" there is often muffled by the need to one-up one another to establish superiority ... more in the form of adolescent hormone crazed driven ways as opposed to big ego driven ways we sometimes see here. Of course it is no secret that we have the same thing going on here at times but here the goal hasn't usually been to establish oneself as the dominant male or the most eligible female so the dynamics are quite a bit different (well, at least we try to keep it different ).

    That is most likely a problem with your monitor. How old is it and what brand? It is probably going bad. You may have to buy a new one
  18. By the way, even after all this the Jeep is still a LOT cheaper than almost all the fancy new European cars that you see running around in Glendale (and definitely a lot more capable and fun to drive ). And I still have a LOT of plans for it
  19. A hydraulic what type? Sorry I didn't understand what you meant. Do you mean a steering stabalizer? Like you see on big trucks that looks like a horizontally mounted shock absorber? I will probably upgrade the tie rod and the tie rod ends at some point when I have the money but I am pretty happy with the steering. It is very well built and as I said, there is basically no bump steer and I didn't notice too much of a break steer. It uses the stock tie rod which is probably too weak for the 35" tires but this is still not a finished project. Thanks! The shaft is pretty strong ... they used almost all dana spicer parts except something about the yoke they had to get from full traction so that it wouldn't vibrate. My advice to whoever wants to do something like this is to research things carefully and consider everything including price (but not just price). Cheap could literally mean death (if not worse) in this case. The 6" long arm kit is about $2300 not including shocks. The rest will depend on what exactly you get, how you have the work done, who does it etc etc but I would budget something around $5K total for a pro job. Note that exhaust mods and things like a custom drive shaft must be considered... of course tires and wheels if you are upgrading and things like a spare tire carrier since you can't put 35" tires on the stock carrier. For mine, I made my own bracket for now for about $6 of home depot parts. But I'll be changing the rear bumper at some point in the future so the spare carrier will be included in that project.
  20. And a few pictures of me playing around on some dirt piles ... http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/sip_palm4.jpg
  21. http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/jeep.jpg The shop I was working with got all the work done on Thursday. The planning took me nearly 3 years and the work took 4 full days at the shop. All I can say is WOW. The lift is the 6" Full Traction long arm kit with a 4-link in the front and a 3-link in the back. Wheels are 15x8, 4.25" BS Unique 252s with 35x12.5 Goodyear MTRs (stock were close to 31") and Rancho RS9000X 9-way adjustable shocks. It needed a complete exhaust reroute and a new custom rear CV driveshaft. I wouldn't have believed it but other than the obviously higher center of gravity and diminished ability to corner at high speeds, this thing actually rides and feels better than factory!!! Turning radius is about the same. On the freeway it rides very smooth and there is almost no bump- or break-steer. The 4.10 gears in the axles are going to be upgraded next when I can save up the money again because it really starts to bog down in 5th gear but 1st gear is much more usable than before. For now, I am very happy with the outcome though haven't had a chance to really wheel it other than the pics below. http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/IMG_0677_tn.jpg http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/IMG_0679_tn.jpg http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/IMG_0680_tn.jpg http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/IMG_0684_tn.jpg http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/sip/jeep/IMG_0712_tn.jpg (click for bigger) My home-made RTI ramp.

  22. 3 billion idiots doesn't a right make ... FYI, I am one of those idiots that watch it too I just think Football is far superior as a sport to soccer in almost all aspects. Too bad not too many take the time to understand it. Though it is certainly much more complicated than put that round thing in that box thing with your legs and heads.
  23. Soccer has got to be the sissiest game on this planet. What other game do you see people fly in the air, go down in pain crying while there was no one around to even touch them? Then they carry them off the field and the next minute the dude is back running like the wind. What a bunch of sisssys http://armenians.com/forum/style_images/1/icon8.gif I totally respect most real Football players ... they play with borken and bruised body parts and don't even complain. I think instead of "soccer" we should call it "sissy ball"
  24. Forgot to say, if your company is blocking access to yahoo wap as well, you can use it pretty comfortably using a text-based browser (lynx) and shell access to some remote machine. I don't know if you have ever used anything like this but if you have some other machine you can log into or some service provider that will give you shell access, then this is another option. I know my explanations are not very detailed but I am just throwing out ideas here ...
  25. By the way, if hotmail and yahoo mail are the main problem, you can forward them to some other email account that is accessible from work. I know you can forward yahoo but I don't know what will happen with all the junk mail and what other good webmail service there is that might be accessible from work. Also, see if you can see your yahoo mail through wap: http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
