Dear Asdghig, welcome to the board. To answer your question, no. You will not be boosting their ratings by just going to their websites. However, if you search for their sites on a search engine (like google) and then click on their link, that may have a boost on their ratings. In order to avoid that, you can copy-paste (or just type) the address from the search engine into a new browser window. But in general, I think that's just too much hastle and you shouldn't worry about it.

It's all in the DNA from what I hear The entire map of the human body ... down to the last detail ... all encoded with Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Guanine sequences!!!!! It's quite fascinating as you pointed out but the base map is all there. Now exactly which parts of the DNA get activated at what point in time and how, that's the question you're asking but I don't think that part is as exciting as the fact that the ENTIRE information is encoded there in EACH DNA instance in EACH CELL!!!!!!! WOW. Talk about compact representation and redundancy in data!!!!!!!!!!

http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/sm/zig_cpu.gif Funny stuff Azat! Maybe we can make this the computer humor thread? ... I loved that last Ziggy ... it's SO TRUE.

LA has two teams ... the kings and the ducks ... that's pretty much the limit of my NHL knowledge. If you are looking for a team to root for, I recommend the Lakers. They need all the rooting they can get right now.

Yah that was ugly ... but not because of Lakers but because those guys weren't missing anything. They put on a very nice show! Next game will be interesting but I have a feeling lakers will sweep them here in LA. On a related sports note ... I just saw Man U. vs. R. Madrid ... all I can say is WOW. Best game I have seen since the world cup last year ... 3 goals by Ronaldo ... 2 goals by Beckham after he comes in as a sub in second half ... and that's not even all the goals in the game ... and not just any goals ... all of them really great goals ... all I can say is WOW!!!! Real Madrid looks awefully good to take it all (Champions League) I think.

Anger Management gets I was laughing since before it started till way after it ended. I thought the story was extremely predictable right from the beginning but the acting was just superb. Big surprise came from John Turturro ... man he is hillarious in this movie... my favorite scene? The part where they sing "I feel pretty" on the bridge Oh ... and I notice myself saying "Gooz Frappa" a lot since after seeing that movie At least I think that's what they were saying. Not seen the hours either.

Very slick! I give it I personally will probably go with a 23" 16:9 aspect ratio LCD with mine ... and the 6.1 Dolby is going to be a must

Well, since I'm already a couple of days late, let me just wish both you (Sulamita) and Harut happy birthdays!!!!

Harut, most those services are needed parts of XP. XP is very different than 98 ... it's a "real" OS so there'll be a lot of layers and things running. Don't disable or remove anything that you are unsure about. First make sure it is junk, then stop it. By the way, formatting the HD may not be as good an option as you may think. Installing an OS on a laptop is usually much harder than a desktop. You need to have all sorts of drivers etc etc ... plus then if something goes wrong, Dell won't be able to help you. Their solution will be to use the system recovery disk and go back to factory condition (wiping out all your data in the mean time).

Harut, looks like Intel was waiting for you to buy your laptop before doing THIS But don't worry, it takes a couple of months for intel price cuts to reach the retail market.

Probably ... but that's just too easy Real CS guys like to make their hacks directly into all the scripts, config files, and kernel code

http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/hf/comp_down.jpg For Azat and Sulamita ... I guess the pic says it all

Congrats harut! Now first thing you do, is go through and uninstall 90% of the crap they put on there ... get rid of ALL the crap. AOL, Compuserve, Netscape, photo whatever, global ad whatever, this and that utility, everything! Just keep the basic windows stuff, drivers, and the main applications you care about. If there is something that starts up automatically and you don't know how to get rid of it, here are a few places to check: Startup in your Start Menu Startup in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup In the Registry under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce and also the same things under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER

You know, I actually heard about that! Wonder why that never happens in computer science classes <_<

Not what I was expecting at all! First I saw the title I thought it's going to be something funny about "farting sheep"

No problemo! Just email it to me or Azat or maybe Garo (but he's a busy man ... not like Azat who is literally "azat" all day long!!!!!) and we'll take care of it.

Sorry Azat ... this is not about you. I was just wondering if I remember correctly about having heard this phrase told to pregnant women about to give birth. Is it a common Armenian expression?

I am having a SERIOUS sensory overload here ... it's not everyday that you get to stand in line right next to Jerry Ryan and a few feet from that Jessey girl from saved by the bell (also from the movie Show Girls It's completely incomprehensible for me how good these people look ... they are like completely different evolutionary classes of humans!!!

Believe me, you don't want to know what he has done and you definitely don't want to know why he needs the towel ahahahahahhahahahah hhahaha hahah oh man I just KILL myself sometimes!!!! Oh, hey, whatup Jug!

Thanks! Impression for the day: The day I stop asking questions will be the day I die.

"Shock and Awe"? ... Yah they get shocked and then they say "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe ... that's ok ... it doesn't really matter ... really ... come on don't cry ... that's a good boy ... there there ok now ... don't we feel better?"

Oh man Azat, you're on a ROLL today dude! I always knew there was something special about Harut ... that guy sure does get around! Hey, wasn't she like really pregnant at the Oscars? ... Haaaaaarut?

Complicated? I think Azat made it sound too easy. I think the main reason is that he forgot to tell you, before posting any images, you have to make sure the flux capacitor in your PC is fully charged. Otherwise, it may damage your RAM diagnostic subcircuits Ok simple example: You go to http://images.google.com and search for an image ... like "sulamita". Then when you find the image, you just look at the link to the image in your browser (at the top). So for example this one: http://www.uol.com.br/fol/brasil500/images.../sulamita14.jpg You copy-paste (or type) that in the the box that comes up when you press the "IMG" bottom while posting (or press alt+g). The other way is to type it directly using [ IMG]link to picture[/img] tags ... much like how you would type BOLD stuff: [ b]bold text[/b] http://www.uol.com.br/fol/brasil500/images/sulamita14.jpg

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahha hhahah hahahaha It's funny cause it's probably true. "write"? what's that? That must be some really really old archive you got there!!!! But amazingly enough, the joke still works if you replace "write" with "type" Very funny!!!

chem haskanum ... pidi mi kitch el batsadres ... "pain in the vordegh"? He he he ... get it? vor-degh? Cause I got it Interestingly enough, I was replying to some other post of yours at the exact same time you were replying to mine! It's amazing how the Universe is able to find balance.
