Queb ... if you actually have a legit copy, just try it. If it fails, then worry about calling and getting it to work on one machine. I don't think you'll have any problems with 2 machines.

It's seriously a non stop party towards the end of july isn't it! Shnorhavor Eve!!!

If that one is not available, there's the AMD version of it here

Azat, for the price, I think that's a good deal. It will definitley get the job done. I assume I don't have to tell you what that laptop will and will not do. But since it has 512MB of RAM and built in wireless, it passes my basic 2 MANDATORY requirements.

I really didn't know what else to call them. Nairi, in our extended family usually they refer to the grand-grandma as "metso" ... don't know of any great grandfather though. One thing which I forgot to say, we (brothers) called our grandfather on the mom's side "apapa" while the grandfather on the dad's side was "apupapa" or "apu" for short. I have no idea how these came to be in our family and whether or not I had anything to do with it as a very young child (I'm the oldest).

I call my grandparents "amama" and "apapa" ... not sure if it's just a barskahye thing or not since all my Haykahye friends call theirs "dadik and "papik".

Wow Happy Birthday ED! Thanks Wow the highlights of the last 1/3 of my life so far ... I think I might best summarize my life so far as follows: The first 10 years I became aware of my "self", the second 10 years I was told by others what I should do with my "self", and the last 10 years I was actively trying to be in charge of my "self" and somehow realized the 20 years before had only been a "movie" and not really "life". I'd have to say the highest highlight of my last 10 years was definitely the process of becoming a Ph.D. And not just as something to show off or brag about but rather as the whole process of learning to think for myself, trying to be critical of myself at first then everything else around me, questioning everything and trying hard to find answers without taking mental shortcuts (of course I still have a long way to go in this department) ... This was definitely one of the hardest things that I have really had to sacrifice and work for, to achieve so it just seems that much "sweeter" than everything else that somehow seem to just happen most of the time ... and not just for me, but because I know this has justified in some part, what my parents sacrificed and all their hard work to leave it all behind and move to the US 15 years ago. But there are too many other highlights to list so I won't even try to do a good job ... some of the moments on hyeforum definitely come to mind, the great friendships, the lessons learned, the fun times (and there have been many many!), all the traveling that I got to do, and especially some of the more challenging offroad trips in Utah, Arizona, and northern california that maybe 10 years ago I could only have dreamt of that I might one day get a chance to do.

This is why I would probably just take the one lump sum in the beginning and blow it all in a weekend in Vegas

I know this probably isn't much of a "helpful" post but just out of curiosity, I tried it myself and there are a few things listed on ebay if you search for "Armenian jewelry" or "Armenia jewelry" ... just make sure to check the box for "search title and descriptions".

Whoooooooo hoooooooo ... the party's definitely ON!!!! And kind of a little early for me but I ain't complaining! My official birthday is the 27th but thanks everyone for all the well wishes. Shat shnorakal em bolorits!!! Yev shnorhavor to everyone else who has a tdaredartz including Azat, Armen, and Mosjan! Yervant, actually beer is considered very "powerful" compared to what I usually have around which is basically milk, OJ, and water. It's just that I was planning to make beer-turkey burgers one of these days so I happened to pick up a six pack ... which is now a 4 pack and I might not even get to do the burgeres

Since when is "siv" = "black person" ... Garoon garoon garoon eh, Siroun siroun siroun eh ed ko siv siv acherov ... Hmmmmmmmmm ...

It's 64 degrees outside right now and just a few hours ago, a local town got hit with almost 2" hail!!!

Hey, what you do behind closed doors on your own time is your business and no one elses.

This thread is not about whether one believes in all the things Christianity proposes. It's specifically about the mind-set of Jesus (aka God, aka Son of God, aka Lord, ...) and what the explanation is about his "sacrifice" <-- the specific definition of that.

http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/hf/emil.gif

Strangely enough, this is probably the best explanation of what I asked so far. Thanks.

So at first Jesus went to Hell after his death? I understand what you are saying (I think) but I don't understand if you are saying Jesus sacrificed something or not. Was there a sacrifice on the part of Jesus?

Those are not the positions that the Church holds. I think that's why Arpa is "insulting" the church. I would definitely agree with you but I do not agree at all with the church. If you don't believe me, just ask sSebB to tell you what he believes

So if I understand you correctly, the "sacrifice" of Jesus was the few hours he suffered horrible pain while he was dying on the cross?

Based on all the beauty around us, the use and the balance of the colors in nature, the fabulously designed flowers, trees, and the rest of the "decorations" on Earth, it's only natural to conclude God is gay.

Alright .. you seem to like to list rich people So let's just go down the top 10 of Forbe's riches 100 from this year ... 1. William Gates III, US, 50, $50, Microsoft - Went to Harward but dropped to start Microsoft. 2. Warren Buffett, US, 75, $42, Berkshire Hathaway - University of Nebraska 3. Carlos Slim Helu, Mexico, 66, $30, telecom - He is an engineer by profession, graduated from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) (National Autonomous University of Mexico) in 1961, where before graduating he taught Algebra and Linear Programming. He has given lectures in public and private institutions, and also in international bodies such as the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). 4. Ingvar Kamprad, Sweden, 79, $28, Ikea - Ok he's 79 - kind of out of range. 5. Lakshmi Mittal, India, 55, $23.5, steel - Lakshmi graduated from JIMS Kalkaji Delhi in Delhi with a business degree in 1969. His classmates knew him as a sharp student who was good with numbers 6. Paul Allen, Washington, 53, $22, Microsoft, investments = Went to Washington state but dropped out to start Microsoft. 7. Bernard Arnault, France, 57, $21.5, LVMH - Bernard Arnault graduated with engineering degree from the École Polytechnique in 1971 8. Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, Saudi Arabia, 49, $20, investments - completed his Bachelors in Science in Business Administration from Menlo College, USA in 1979 and Masters in Social Science from Syracuse University, USA in 1985. 9. Kenneth Thomson and family, Canada, 82, $19.6, publishing - Too old. 10. Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong, 77, $18.8, diversified - Again, too old to consider. hmmmm .... just looking at the top 10 it seems your "theory" doesn't hold too well sSebB. With the exception of the Microsoft guys, Gates and Allen, both of whom are super super smart people, and the old geezers that I didn't bother to check, the rest all seem to have college "education" (even by your definition). As far as "Ralph Lauren" and "Steven Spielberg", fine ok if your dream job is to be a famous clothing designer or an extraordinary movie director, maybe there are other paths to pursue.

I would agree with that except there's a big caveat: In this day and age, "No School + No University = No Dream Job" is pretty much guaranteed. As far as the second part of your post, all I can say is ? Even Bush has a degree from Yale and we all know how much that means. But who are these "truely successful" people? You are not talking entertainers or athletes are you? Yah if you have some amazing skill or talent, then maybe you can be successful without school .. but for the 99% of the rest, I don't think what you said is true at all. Amy, don't know anyone but I was curious what the wording is on the job description in terms of education vs experience requirements.

What are the requirements for it ?

I don't know in other areas but in the computer science and computer engineering area, typically spending 4-5 years to get a Ph.D. you end up getting paid (to start) maybe just as much as someone who quits after M.S. and works for 4-5 years and now has "experience". It's usually a tradeoff and really depends on what kind of "job" it is.
