I'm a proponent of the non-proposal - like walking down the street and just spontaneously saying, let's get married. It doesn't have to be complex or special - just sincere...

Whew - what a relief... I was seriously doubting my Armenian-ness... I mean, I hadn't even heard that we have our own paper!

I know - a little off topic, but nevertheless, HERE's an interesting little animation... I apologize if you all have seen this already.

You know TB, I was wondering about this! A friend gave me a package as a gift - 'oh, I got you some Armenian Paper'... I had never heard of Armenian Paper, much less ever seen/used it burning in anyone's home... So, any of you hear of this? Is it true? Is it really Armenian in origin?

This comes from a lawyer. Damn!

I saw THIS post by hovsep in the Humour forum... I thought it was kind of relevant here joking, of course

Hi Liz, and welcome to HF! You'll only be engaged for a little while - after that you'll be wearing a wedding band So don't sweat it - just the fact that he picked it especially for you should out weigh any esthethic issue you may have with it... Unless it's absolutely atrocious, than I wouldn't tell him - (this is coming from someone who would be heartbroken if his fiancé rejected his ring) oh, and congratulations!

Now, that's more like it

Again, please cut the insults. And I'm NOT referring to only one person, but 'you' in the collective.

Now, about the perception thing - Armat's photo would be an excellent example as a result of the very shallow depth of field - the entire background is obscured and out of focus, emphasizing the differentiation between subject and environment. With large apertures (I believe he mentioned f1.2) you can limit the depth of field, attracting the eye to the subject. This heightened sense of defferentiation between foreground and background likely stimulates the brain's capacity for the 3D recontruction when viewing with only one eye. Thanks TB, and Armat That was fun

Certainly very useful Ani! I can't think of a better skill

Hence the reason we have two eyes... triangulation. The three points of the triangle being our two eyes, and the object. The intersecting point of the lines of site from each eye determines the depth/distance of the object. Of course this works in combination with other perceptions, relative sizes of objects etc... When we remove one eye, the brain is left without true depth perception, but only relies on the other information available - ie. the information you already know: for instance, a house is bigger than a car, so if they appear to be the same size, than the car must be much closer in proximity than the house. This effect is probably emphasized by TV, as it actually is a 2D medium, whereas the images within contain quite accurate depth information. So the brain, left with only one eye, and looking only at the TV screen, will re-contruct the scene in 3D. I think that's clear, no?

Hey gurgen, are you related to Juggs? (Accelerated)

Great topic! Except I'm not in LA I think I have a reverse view of Sip's quantity/quality viewpoint. I prefer a small, but very good, meal - to a huge, gorge-yourself-till-you-want-to-die buffet with different kinds of slop from a factory kitchen. When I go out, I want to be served! Presentation IS important. My food must be ordered before it's made! I prefer having 4/5 small courses rather than 1 gigantic plate. Moreover, I want to be able to take 4 hours to eat! I think that there's an element of refinement in European cuisine that we here in North America are sorely missing.... Check out This Menu

Alright - no one is listening. Enough for now. The topic's closed.

Please, please - referring to members with terms such as feminazi, dominatrix and other terms...etc are not contructive in nature. I really don't like the direction this thread is headed - so folks, cut the insults. Everyone.

Steve - if we wanted to just ban him - we would have - it's really quite a simple operation. But we haven't - so i don't see the point of defending him. At least, not yet... When he crosses the line, (and he surely will) we'll act appropriately...

Steve, relax, if Nasty is here to discuss, and be civil, then we're more than welcoming - but if he's just here to spam the board, then we'll take the necessary measures. Big red letters calling someone stupid, is in my mind, an insult, no matter how bad your grammar is...

Nasty - you are living up to your name. Insulting members here is a quick way to get yourself banned. For someone who cries 'hate & vindictiveness' you are certainly acting hypocritically. Please re-read your comments and edit out the garbage before you post again.

usually most computers are simple to fix! Way to go Domino. BTW - a common problem you may run into is error 18. If you ever have an error 18 make sure you contact us right away - it can be devastating!!

I think I should cook - have you seen what Sip eats??? Utopia indeed! And yes, Azat - the geek shall inherit the earth

If you want to run wireless on a MAC portable - powerbook/ibook, you absoutely need an airport card - other PCMCIA wireless cards will not be compatible - and don't force them in! They won't fit! If you're running wireless G - then yoiu'd opt for the Airport Extreme - you can use it with any wireless base unit, not just the airport base station. BUT - be careful, 'cause your system must be able to support wireless - if I remember correctly, you were running a PB G3 (a slightly older version) some models are not wireless compatible. You can find out weather your MAC is wireless compatible on the Apple site

Although i also have a great looking MAC!

Damn. My case is beige.
