I have the same problem with my DELL. I would try it on mine if I were at home but I am still at school and don't have access to DVDs or TVs to try it. The first thing I would try is set the VGA or TV output port as the primary device in the display options. If that doesn't work, then try updating video card drivers ... also make sure to lower your display resolution to something like 800x600 or 1024x768. You may have to turn off the LCD display in the options.

The universe is finite, therefore it's small. (I was just messing around with some big numbers and that thought popped into my head!).

Like, how can you not be attaracted to this: I am actually not that attracted to that picture ... just look at her arm and shoulder ... looks like a skeleton ... but I also agree with you jug ... this is one part of the bible that I actually believe in ... I definitely think the male was God's first crack at making a human body. I think he got it right with the woman (well, in some cases anyway ).

... or objects ...

Yah, it sure seems that way. I know because I am an openly "geek" male ... I knew from very early on that I am not same as everyone else. My first feeligs of techno-sexuality started manifesting themselves long before I can even remember. In the beginning, they were more in the form of experimentation and curiosity but that slowly developed into full fledged nerdocity and programo-computism. I tried to hide it and pretend I am normal for a long time ... but deep down inside I was uncomfortable with who I was pretending to be. Then, slowly I learned to face my true self and came out of the closet so to say. I am not ashamed to admit who I am anymore and finally, I am at peace with myself and my surroundings. Sure people have and continue to put me down, antagonize me, treat me like a freak of nature, and behave as if this is a sort of disease or a personality flaw .. but as Nunush said above, I don't care. Disclaimer: Lack of sleep for a few days tends to lead to things like this post so conclusion is ... always try to get enough sleep.

I think I fixed it! THIS should work. As you probably saw, the forum went through a drastic upgrade last night.

Well, it goes to show ya ... Domino bitches and complains for months ... nothing. A girl comes along and makes a simple request, and all of a sudden the ENTIRE forum is changed

First of all, welcome aboard. Second of all, what good is any hate? Third of all, HERE is a thread from a few months ago on this subject that you may be interested in.

Vava, this is the mobile radeon in a laptop ... I am guessing you are referring to the desktop versions? Harut, the Dell looks a bit better but I will look at the details later tonight. Make sure the Dell has the 10/100 LAN --Sip

I will not appologize since I have not made fun of that girl's situation even if it happens to be true. I thought the story was very sad. I have made fun of people's reactions to the story and those who immediately claim anyone who even suggests that it may be a hoax to be "anti-armenian", "child-hater", "insensitive", etc etc.

quote:Originally posted by Azat:Dear Bruin, I am not against anyone criticizing other and all that. I just don't want you, Stormy and Juggy to start to insult each-other. You guys take things too close to heart. I agree But just wanted to add that I think we should all insult Juggy (aka Accelerated). It's a big stress reliever and always lots of fun. I think we should just have an ongoing "roast the jug" thread.

LMAO about the cup holder! I wasn't expecting that at all. Oh and those stuck pics, that's some serious stuckage!!! But I don't know about this nose pointing thing

quote:Originally posted by Accelerated:LOL - what were you thinking? I was thinking I like OJ, I like Cereal, therefore I will like OJ+Cereal. Obviously I was wrong. The other thing, it's absolutely amazing how horrible OJ tastes after you brush your teeth. It's just unbelievably bad.

I would say 1x256 is better than 2x128 ... most often these laptops have 2 memory slots ... with 1x256, later on you can add one more to upgrade. With 2x128, most likely there is no more room to upgrade. Don't worry about the external floppy ... it's a GOOD thing I think. I personally don't use floppies anymore. But I am still not sure if the floppy has to be external with the DELL. On mine, it's both ... you can have it as external or pop out one of the batteries and repalce it with the floppy. As far as the batteries, 8 or 12 cel doesn't mean much to me. You want to look at power ratings on those.

Dear fellow Armenians, I am a desparate graduate student with not a penny in my bank account and suffering from several medical probelms. Due to malnutrition, one of my feet has not grown as much as the other so I am in desparate need of serious medications daily to be able to even stand up. I have to walk up-hill to school (both directions), in the cold, every day, with my old shoes. My father fought very hard for Armenia and my grandfather was killed in the genocide. If you care at all about Armenians, please, please find it in your heart to paypal me a minimum of $150 since my medication costs alone are about $30000 a year ... my paypal account address is me@Sip.com. Upon a successful transaction, please email me at the same address with the confirmation number or call my uncle who is also sick in bed but can answer your call immediately. Please open your heart and wallets to help this wonderful person who is in desparate need of your help. I can be contacted any time at 818-555-7982 day or night if you need to talk to me. My uncle can be reached at 310-555-3212. And below, is a picture of me when I was somewhat healty about 2 years ago. Sincerely, Sip

Build a Better Hoax Dave Roos pinpoints the five steps to email scamming success. By Dave Roos Hoax emails are the ingrown toenails on the stinky foot that is the Web. Congress refuses to pass an anti-spam email bill because our representatives believe such a bill could have an adverse effect on e-commerce. Whiners. With help from you, the TechTV reader, I believe we can put pressure on Congress by elevating email scams to a profoundly irritating art form and bombarding inboxes the world over with the worst hoaxes the Web can offer. Before you set out to compose a super-spam masterpiece, you must first understand the basic components of an email hoax and how they can magically fit together to help make online life a baffling ordeal. 1) Subject line -- As Thomas Jefferson said, an email hoax is only as good as its subject line. Amateur scammers usually settle for hackneyed ALL CAP exclamations like, "IMPORTANT!! TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR YOU!!!! OPEN NOW!!" I suggest something more personal, yet broadly applicable, like, "I found your dog." Many people have dogs, and most would be thrilled to hear that their dog was not lost. You can try it with a cat, but we all know that cat people are a lot less gullible, and frankly, wouldn't care all that much if their cat was dead. 2) Sick child -- All good email hoaxes should include one or eight pleas to save the life of a sick child. Never mind the obvious non-logic that somehow money can be generated by forwarding an email to 256 friends. Try to think like your audience: You've never ventured beyond the AOL homepage, you constantly sign up for "free email offers," your name is Gomer. Now hit yourself in the head with a ball-peen hammer. Perfect. 3) Urban legend -- Urban legends are only scary if they take boring, everyday activities and turn them into inescapable death traps. Examples: HIV-laced syringes on gas pumps; prospective gang members hide in back seats of cars at gas pumps; gas pumps turn into man-eating snakes and eat your spleen. 4) Cancellation or taxation of much-loved services -- Two facts of life: People are cheap and people hate change. Threaten to tax email, cancel AOL instant messaging, ban cell phones, or raise the price of Old Navy drawstring pants and gullible email slobs will go berserk. 5) Free crap -- People will sell their mother's pancreas for a free pen. Use this to your advantage.

Substituting orange juice for milk in cereal, even if you are out of milk ----> bad idea.

Wow ... very sexy ... so the keyboard is USB I assume? or is it wireless?

quote:Originally posted by nairi:As for being worth less Sipan, I assume you haven't observed Christianity very closely. I remember in Iran, they were worth something like 1/2 a man or something. Like 2 women had to testify in court in order to have the equivalent of 1 man's testimony. Also, the wife couldn't testify or file charges against the husband. Well, I will not argue with you about the amazingness of Christianity but I doubt you are going to tell me that with Islam they are better off as women than with Christianity!!!

By the way, there are those who claim that Islam doesn't degrade women and that Islam is a peaceful religeon ... But then we all know there is the fantasy world of "what is supposed to be", and then there is the harsh reality of "what is". MJ had posted a long thread about what Islam is supposed to be, which I think provides some very interesting reading HERE but how close that is to reality of what Islam actually is, it's up to debate I guess. [ April 03, 2003, 05:12 AM: Message edited by: Sip ]

I hope they realize that after their change, they are literally worth less than they used to be. I am not an islamic expert but from what I have been able to understand from the religeon, women are supposedly worth less than a man. But I have to say that "Muslim Armenians" sounds almost as strange to me as those "Jews for Jesus" people.

quote:Originally posted by ARR:Andranik, If you carfully read some of the post on this forum especially with regard to Artsax and recent elections in Armenia, you would conclude that some of the forum members are oppenly anti-armenian. Which I guess you are trying to say that it goes to prove that Antranik's post was definitely not a scam? I fail to see what being anti-Armenian has anything to do with whether a post laying out a totally sad story asking you to send money is legit or not.

Sweden Beats U.S. as Top Web-Savvy Nation - Survey Not good ... they are beating us ... have to start surfing the web more

I have never "left" Armenia (well, technically anyway). Born in London, raised in Iran, then germany for a few years and now US. Therefore, I don't really have a "feeling" about those who leave or are about to leave or have already left Armenia since I have never experienced what life there is like. But I do certainly understand their desire to leave. So much more to do in this life and globe and I personally feel traditional, ancestoral, and other constraints tying one and restricting one to a certain geographical region on the globe is not necessarily a good thing. On the other hand, I do understand all the cultural preservation reasons and all the arguments on how staying within a geographic region (i.e. Armenia) will help in maintining Armenian identity but I personally am not too interested in that. I am much much more fascinated by things that are not really "cultural" in nature (technology). [ April 01, 2003, 04:37 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]
