Sip

right on Wow I forget why I had said that but it sounds REALLY creepy now.

... lesson for today: Whiskey + Armat = Mosjan

The wonders of technology: Took me 3 days to get my damn watch to sync up to the atomic clock signal after the daylight savings change. It would have taken about 10 seconds to do it the "old fashioned" way.

Google (GOOG): Aug 16, 2007 - ~ $491 Nov 6, 2007 - ~$741 That's a 50% increase in 3 months! Not bad

Glad you thought so

Ok I sat through the whole 7 minutes. What's the point of that video? The guy spent 7 minutes trying to argue that the universe must have had a beginning. Should I file this in the "well, duh!" folder? By the way, the Big Bang theorists do a MUCH better job at making a case for the "finite universe" than the line of reasoning this guy was trying to pursue with this "infinite hotel" talk. Also, mathematically, he made some very questionable statements in my opinion. For example, if x is infinite and y is infinite, he was making it sound like you can then conclude x and y are the same quantity which I think is a very dangerous (and wrong) way of thinking about infinity.

I think God, by definition, is above God.

Anytime I think about the Universe I end up realizing that "significance_of_humanity == 0". I find it strange that those who want to claim "God" created the Universe and the humans are also trying to make the case that God somehow has any interest in what we humans do. If God created the Universe in all its vastness, he or she will not give a damn about something sooooooooooooooo utterly irrelevant and insignificant (in the big picture) as "humanity". We mean NOTHING in the scale of the Universe (let alone multiverse ).

I still wouldn't call anything that's supposed to implement any sort of intelligence as "Turk" (mechanical or not). I would much rather pay for "Mechanical Chink"

Link: www.mt*rk.com/mt*rk/help?helpPage=whatis Note: I decided to remove the link ... change t*rk to turk if you want to go there. Amazon Mechanical Turk Now why are they going to ruin a promising system like that with injecting Turks into the system?

People still buy "magazines" for porn?

By the way, the best strategy that I have seen in such situations was displayed by none other than my hero, Homer Simpson. As you may recall, when facing certain death when being charged at by a huge rhino, his immediate reaction was to scream: "Jesus, Allah, Buddha, I love you all."

When my life is in danger, I am a lot more likely to say "Oh Sh!t" than "Oh God". Does this mean I have faith in Sh!t?

Ok that's it ... we're making a hyeforum trip to Vegas!!! We have to settle this issue once and for all

$300? That's about 10 trips to a really good "Vegas" class buffet ... That too will REALLY change your perspective on life. You guys can go ahead with the sky diving and base jumping. I'll be the one on the ground taking pics hehe

I'd stick to driving jeeps!

Well let's just say I might have the contacts to get some improvements and suggestions in there

Just wanted to bring back this thread in the hopes of sparking some discussions ... Has anyone been using the Armenian version of google (google.am)? How do you like it? Is there anything you don't like or any features you want to see added? Are there any language specific things in Armenian that might give google (or other english based search engines) some problems?

Arvestaked, I didn't mean anything bad by it. I'm sure it's great coffee. Just making a stupid post as I haven't been around much and I miss it here and I usually don't have much but stupid things to say And Azat, yes they do and it's made of real Moose Milk Cheese

Yah I noticed that too ... you can also switch between browsers and keep revoting (not sure if it is session or cookie based) but seems pretty trivial to write an automated script to inflate the numbers. But then again, who cares what an online vote says?

I'll definitely check it out the next time I'm at Bijan's on Rodeo for a new wardrobe.

I've never heard of "engineering" as major! Care to be a bit more specific?

Wow it's nice to know I could be making $50 a year in Zimbabwe with a 10% bonus and 2.5% benefits!!!!

Take a look at this article as Google already had to address similar things with jewish sites a couple of years ago.

Wait no one told me anything about a test today
