Sip

Oh Paaaaaaaaaaaaalease! Who's twisting your arm forcing you to stay in the nightmare? There are PLENTY of people in the world that would LOVE to trade places with you in a heart beat. I hear the people in Sudan, Bangladesh, and Assbackestan know geography pretty well.

Hehehehe ... Azat, obviously you've never had "advanced" circuit analysis Why do you think I went into "digital" stuff?

Got to "Advanced" Circuit Analysis, eh? I know the feeling

Dude! A smart guy just made a post in this forum that will solve your problems ... the post was in this thread and it said: So ... GET A JOB!!!! ... and Azat, FYI, I'm British.

Considering I haven't had much "formal" Armenian education, it is funny that sometimes I seem to speak cleaner "formal" Armenian than a lot of the new Yerevantsi's that come to LA. I have to start throwing in a bunch of "ara ara ara's" and a few "vapshe"'s just to help them understand sometimes

No problem with English as most of us around here are no where close to being English experts (note I said "most" which includes me as well).

What an ODD sort of statement! Is it "code" for something? Like "the eagle is flying" or "the squirrels have collected the nuts in chicago" Welcome to the board Igor ;)

We call those "freedom fooderies"

I'm waiting for gamavor to start posting some of his favorite pictures

The "User Defined" encoding makes both work for me. I don't know who has defined my "user defined" encoding but just in case there are others who have trouble ... this is under windows XP with latest IE. By the way, seems to work just fine under default configuration in Opera (browser). So this may just be an IE problem/feature.

http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/hf/free_cat.jpg Ok but remember that AZAT was the one who asked for it.

Interestingly enough, MJ's post works for me but not Arpa's. A couple of tries ago it was the opposite and at some point they both seemed to work.

... or we'll just ignore 1 out of every 10 posts Edward makes from now on, and it should all be good

If there is any interest, I can post the "free cat" picture. It's hillarious but may not be everyone's brand of humor.

Do a right-click and save-target-as on the link above. That will let you save the video to your PC. It's an "mpeg" file so you should be able to play it with windows media player. By the way, it may take some time to download with a modem

Do you have WinXP? I noticed win XP has something built in ... or maybe it's something that comes with office xp with voice recognition. I tried it once and it works pretty well. You have to train it a bit of course, just like any other good software. But I usually type faster than I can talk so never had any use for one of those things. I'm sure Azat knows more about this.

Azat, the beauty of a skit trip is that the entire body is covered with several layers of thick clothing ... so all you need is a couple of winks and you're in the game. The "hemp clothing" will not be a deterrant in Aspen --- As a slight diversion from the real ski trip topic ... I find it fascinating that a simple thread about Persian/Armenian relations can turn into Android/Armenoid and NordicTrak excersise equipment discussions and the origin of the nose. Does EVERYTHING depend on origins? Let is be already. Origins are irrelevant ... of course I'm not talking about just Persian / Armenian relations, nor just this thread. --- Edit: but I certainly didn't mean to imply that origins aren't "interesting". They can be quite interesting. I just think they are irrelevant to most topics.

Ah that's a TRICK question!!!! I know the answer: From the empty tomb we can conclude that the tomb is empty. Now I guess next question will be what we suppose may have happened to make the tomb empty.

I recently visited a plantation house along the mississippi river just outside of New Orleans. I was first of all fascinated to find out how short these french "Cajun" people who populated the area (and built these vast cotton/sugar fortunes + slave empires) were ... everything was small. Chairs, beds, closests ... I felt like a giant walking into a kids doll play house. but the thing which surprised me most was exactly what Steve is talking about. The husband and wife slept in separate bedrooms far away from each other. The husband then made "appointments" with the wife on when they were to "get it on". The other thing was that they NEVER went back to bed during the day ... not even for a nap. They have these fairly uncomfortable looking chairs for rests during the day. And of course with no air conditioning and that unbelievable humid heat and the mosquitos, I don't know how they did anything.

This may come as a shock to you, but YES. I think that's equal. HOWEVER, I am pretty good at fixing problems with cars and computers and haven't come accross too many girls that can keep up with me in that department. On the other hand, I SUCK at ironing. I usually end up making things worse after ironing. With cooking, I am a REALLY good cook but there is usually nothing left for others after I'm done "cooking". In certain cases, some partners may just be better at some things than others (not necessarily genetics but yes, also due to social/cultural up bringing). But whatever the reasons ... what I'm saying is "equality" doesn't have to be 50/50 with respect to EACH chore, but should be more 50/50 in terms of the total "workload". That means, the guy shouldn't sit on his fat arse while the wife is cleaning dishes since it doesn't take a special female gene to be able to clean dishes. On the other hand, if the guy just killed 3 spiders and is in the middle of replacing muffler bearings or the halogen fluid on the wife's Volvo, then the wife shouldn't expect him to come and help with the irioning right away, just for the sake of "equality".

Sweet! I'd be happy with just the Rockies ... since I saw Dumb and Dumber, Aspen has been towards the top of my list of places to go to ski and I haven't been there yet.

Nope sorry. You said yourself Gamavor is an attorney. Therefore, you lose.

I guess I don't understand the question. Are you asking whether Jesus was interested in history or whether he was a person that existed in history? If it's the first, I have no idea. If it's the second, then yah, last I heard he existed and then they crusified him. All in all, he was an extremely intelligent person if you ask me. Not everyone gets to be remembered for 2000 years after their death ... especially for doing "good". Whatever he has said, he seems to have said just the right things at the right time.

"Inch es anum?" <=> "What are you doing?" "Inch es asum?" <=> "What are you saying?" The verbs being "anel" and "asel" which translate to "doing" and "saying". "Inch" means "what" and the "es" just makes it all work (to address it as a question to a second person). "inch gesses kor" probably means "what are you saying" (not doing) but I'm not too familiar with western Armenian.
