  1. WOW! That kind of snow just begs for a nice drive around town to pull people who are stuck out.

    Cool!

    Hey how come I never get to meet any Miss Armenias?
  3. Edward Ok this is for the curious ladies to know how it feels like ... why do I get the feeling Accelerated is going to get the best score?
  4. So think carefully and try to see where the problem lies. What are the chances that everyone is wrong and you are right ALL the time?
  5. Oh so that's your mission here? If you want we can skip all that mess and go right to the banning. You can add one more "score" to your portfolio of getting kicked out of places.
  6. Oh yes! And of course we know both Nazi Germany and Soviet Union are going to last for many many more years to come.

    Americanized?

  8. Welcome aboard sSsflamesSs The only comment I have ever gotten, and this is a TRUE story by the way, was about my laptop!!! It was one of those super slim sony Viao (R505s) a few years ago that even by today's standards is still very sexy. A guy saw it as I was walking out and said "Wow .. is that a 505? I said yup" But that's not too unexpected in the engineering building of UCLA. Which reminds me of this other story ... that one of my lab mates once was doing some project where he needed to record video of a moving user's "normal" actions. Well, he had taped up a web cam to his baseball cap and was recording on his laptop while walking around the hallways at school. At some point he REALY had to go so he walked into the bathroom He was trying very hard to do it while trying not to "look down" We laughed SO much at that video.
  9. Ok I think it's only fitting that I tell this thing that my dad thought me when I was very very young. I think I could barely form sentences myself and this is one of the techniques he used to teach me common Armenian names... by using a common daily "bathroom experience" for example ... a normal experience may go something like this: Shavarsh Karapet-pet-pet-pet Avetissssssssssss Hakop For some reason I have always thought that was the cleverest thing I ever learned as a child.
  10. I have to say that's an interesting observation! Add chess to the list as well.
  11. Here's more unwritten codes: 3) If there are people in the stalls and you are using the urinal, it's often "proper" to turn on a faucet, wait few seconds, then turn off the faucet so the people in the stalls think you just washed your hands. 4) Ripping the paper towel after the faucet ceremony must be done in the loudest possible way. Slam the operating handle and RIP with force to make a bold statement that I'm DONE and will be leaving soon. So all those that are holding back their loud farts know that at least one guy will be leaving and they can let it rip more freely. By the way, the no hand washing thing ... I need to clarify ... it's possible for a guy to enter a bathroom, do his busniess, and leave the bathroom without touching ANYTHING other than his zipper. It takes practice but it is very possible. The key is to wait at the proper time to leave ... i.e. let someone else open the door and you just use your shoe to keep it open for yourself.
  12. Funny I never even noticed there were other men in public bathrooms untill now that you mentioned it. I don't think I have ever said or heard anything to/from anyone ... the only time I do remember was at LAX airport once where I heard a guy in one of the stalls appologizing desparately to his girl friend on the phone!!!! I thought wow ... now this guy has some style The other aspects you may be interested is the unwritten "codes" ... the algorithm for urinal usage is basically a form of solving the gravity/anti-gravity problem ... i.e. you have these particles (guys) that are strongly attracted to these things (urinals) but strongly repelled by each other ... and the equilibrium state is often achieved by the guys utilizing the farthest possible urinals from each other. If there is no time to do the optimization or if they "have to go", the rule of thumb is at least one urinal separated from the closest person or on opposite sides of the wall. Unwritten urinal code #2 ... washing hands is optional
  13. Movses, esor du eghar #1 funny
  14. ... from this site. So that's probably what I was thinking about ... two copies of the windows boot record on Fat32. I also found this nice site that has good explanations on what is where on Fat-16 and the location two copies of the FAT for anyone that didn't know the details like me.
  15. You and I are cool enough to speek l337 but Azat doesn't for example! And that smilie looks more like a fearless ninja or a muslim woman to me. There are better "fear" ones out there like
  16. note my edited post above (edited as you were typing I guess). I fully agree with you that smilies can say a lot but not all are universally understandable.
  17. The one with just "one" smilie? Like ??? It's a bit of a stretch calling that a "reply". Sorry I removed it as the meaning was completely unclear and the post didn't contribute anything. Smilies like are fairly obvious in what they mean but ":ph34r:" (ph34r) is rather ambiguous.
  18. There are usually 2 copies of the MBR I think anyway ... usually an FDISk /MBR command fixes that problem although I haven't had that happen in YEARS. What can cause it? Hmmmm ... tough question ... a failed attempt at OS upgrade/install? Some partition utility like partition magic? Boot loaders like LILO etc ... dual boot managers ... anything that would try to write to the boot sector. Other causes can be disk failures and crashes and there are boot-sector virsuses out there although nothing recent that I know of. I don't think getting that kind of access to the disk is too easy under the new windows OSes but I don't really know. Oh, and dont' forget BACKUPS!

    Hyejokes

    it's ok for me too.
  20. Well, at first when I read the title of the thread, I thought it's probably about leaving the toilet seat up again. Maybe you should rephrase the question and make it a bit more specific. About the prostitution thing ... I don't know what percentage of men force what percentage of women into doing those things ... but it seems to me it's not that much although that's just a feeling and nothing more.
  21. Only in a "hye" forum will a question about US-Turkish-Kurdish relations turn immediately to the topoic of the Jewish plot to destroy all Armenians of the world! I have seen a LOT of jews in the US. Basically, they couldn't care less about Armenians. I have had and have many jewish friends of many jewish types as in those that have been here since day 1, those that came from day 2 on, those that have come recently, from Russia, from Iran, from other parts of europe and I even knew a very nice "Jews-For-Jesus" kind of person. Fad ... that Turkish strategy would seem quite disturbing as they have used all the right politically correct keywords to get that kind of support here.

    Paradoxes

    T.B. ... did I ever tell you I want to be just like you when I grow up?
  23. Ignore vava .... no public porn threads please. Feel free to PM those to vava. About the corrupt lobbying system ... I won't dispute that. There are many ugly and dirty things going on in the political system and as we have seen with the "capitalist" system was well such as with the now very infamous Enron busniess. However, the point which I think usually gets totally lost is the fact that the overall system is not based on corruption. When Arnold gets elected as the governor of California, I personally am CONFIDENT that it was the people that voted him in. When bush gets elected by some strange and stupid voting anomaly, I am fairly confident that it was actually an anomaly rather than some coverup to get him elected. The lobies and "fat cats" and those in the elite circles do play big roles in things no doubt, but the system underlying everything is not "corrupt".
  24. Is he the guy that had a farm? Eeee ay eeee ay oooo
  25. Are you going to blame men for pms and breast cancer too?
