Sip

And thanks for the info Jug. I didn't know that.

I think all Armenians should just move here in the US. Screw Glendale too ... we'll just take over Vegas and start a new Armenia. I'll move to Vegas if it's for my "hayrenik". http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/hf/fedai.gif

I don't think that's entirely true. It is no longer an assumption once a belief is tested and shown to be able to predict. An assumption is just that ... an assumption. It should not become a "belief" without proper testing to validate it in reality. What's great about the scientific method of validating beliefs is that it provides a rather reliable means of validating a lot of assumptions. It is not perfect and it doesn't work all the time but to throw it into the same category as "all metaphysical assumptions" is a huge over simplification IMO.

On top of updating the board and keeping it going, the amazing thing about Garo is that he also fixes what Movses screws up!!! . . . . just kidding Mosjan jan

That's how someone from 50 years ago might say about now. We are a bunch of people conversing without actually meeting face to face or leaving our desks.

http://www.rubiconownersforum.com/phpbb2/images/smiles/worthless.gif I would like to propose a preliminary payment formula: a = age b = bust size c = waist size d = height e = weight f = # of teeth g = subjective looks factor (1=Katherine Bell, ..., 100=Queen of England) paymet = alpha * [ a^2 * c * weight / (hight * b * f) ] ^ (g-10) alpha is a normalization factor depending on the type of currency being used as payment.

OH nooooooooooooo ... not the multiverse ... not the vacuum bubbles ... NO NO NO pleaaaaaaase make it stop Quantum computing is an active area of research which seems to show a LOT of promise and potential but how, when, and in what way any of it will become practical (if at all) is the question. With traditional transistors forming CMOS, the presence or absence of electric charge indicates the basic 1 and 0 used as the fundamental building block in our computing today. As CMOS shrinks and more and more transistors are packed on a single chip, we are slowly getting to the limit which is basically one atom. You can't make a "material" with less than that. So even now they have insulators and other layers that are like 5 atoms thick on the device so there's not much more you can push these. With Quantum computing, people are looking at how to use quantum effects of the particles to do the computation. An example is the "quantum dot" where they force an electron into. You can think of it as counting electrons. Also, if you are familiar with quantum mechanics, electrons have either an "up" or "down" spin associated with them so you can also force them to take a certain spin (using magnetic fields). So what Quebecker is talking about MAY be something that we'll see in a couple of decades or so... who knows.

We can call that the First Law of God-o-dynamics But I am in agreement with Arpa ... God is a very personalized concept and that's I guess why the question of the thread asks what YOU think God is. As far as many or one God, my answer is, since God also created the notion of "counting things", the application of counting to God doesn't make sense ... so trying to distinquish a singular God vs multiple Gods is again going to lead to confusion and contradiction.

Why not? Are you saying God can't do that?

God is an infinite loop because God created God.

So you basically want to go through all your source and add some code to all the textbox codes, right? If you can find a common pattern to all of them, you could use the automatic search and replace feature of some text editors (like ultra edit) that go through a whole file (or directory of files) and replace it in such a way that it keeps the old code and adds what you want to add. But at this point, I am not of much help because I don't know what your code looks like and I don't know what you need to add to all.

Yah .. it's been a long time I have done this but can't you put them in an array with an index? I seem to remember you can do this in VB.

There's no interst. You are getting a lump sum either anually (like $10,000 a year) or sum/2 every six months ($5,000 + $5,000).

Think again

Which deal would you take ... ... a $500 raise every 6 months? ... or a $2000 raise every year?

Great. She just became half of what she used to be (by law). I hope she QUICKLY consumates her marriage and stops being a virgin because in case she dies before that, she might end up having to service some terrorists up in heaven

Will read all carefully soon but I might not be around for another week or so (travels etc). Thanks for the replies! Harut, I KNEW they had internet in the afterlife! I just figured not too many had been able to break throught the firewall But I can just see the next wave of paranormal and psychic phenomena that is coming when people start conversing with the dead over the net

Oh and Vava is a big hairly ugly guy by the way. PS: Only one of those 4 things is true

That's AWESOME

See that's hard for me to believe... I mean are you satisfied with everything the way they are? Even if you don't have any worries, don't you worry that maybe you should be worried? Ok that sounded a bit neurotic which is probably the farthest thing from me but I mean just deciding what to watch on TV can sometimes be a huge project ... it sometimes takes me 15 minutes just to go through the listings of all channels and these are only SOME of all the channels I can potentially watch. Then there are books, magazines, technical articles, non technical articles, etc etc all the way to various forums. So how much of the day do I spend reading my 4x4 magazine, then try to catch up on new technical stuff, browse forums, and even when I browse the forum, do I read the new jokes thread or the genocide section and the list goes on and on and on. ... I really don't think there is really any way that anyone can be in harmoney with all these choices because finding the "best" (most optimized) way to do things isn't always possible. ... not unless one starts to ignore the fact that all these things are choices we make each and every day.

Much appreciated ... oh and I've had that happen before too. It's almost as if it only happens on my best posts too .. and then when I lose it, I can almost never recreate a post of the same quality so I just give up. Usually I have gotten into a habit of copying all I type before I prest the add reply button so in case it is lost, I can just paste it back. But I don't always remember to do it.

Jugs ... sometimes I wonder about you By the way, I was telling your goldfish in the hookah story to a friend of mine recently. That thing still cracks me up

That's a good post. I don't care what Azat says about you vav. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not complaining about anything. Just venting some confusion and frustration! But instead of the strong drink, can I hit a 24hrs Dennys instead? You just want my T-350 Vaio don't you?
