vava

Rant rant rant, rave rave rave... one would think there's a ranting, raving lunatic around... (!)

On the other hand: as demand grows, so might the production of the Armenian grape growers spurring growth industry-wide.

I get what you're trying to say perfectly. But the days of the 'hometown boys' playing hockey for the team in their own city are long gone. The mighty dollar now runs the show.

I trust you're using that term with a true sense of irony

Well now, do I detect another conspiracy?

Well - it's over, and the Cup is in that hands of the canadians playing for big bad tampa bay. :( Oh well...

Studies have shown that taller & 'better-looking' folks advance further and have higher average pay level when compared to shorter, 'less-good-looking' people with similar credentials/experience. I'm sure that this is truer in some industries than others. So it's OK Juggs, you can go out and get that nose job

LOL! now that's naughty comment, isn't it?

You can't actually post a Media Player file ON the board. That would simply cost WAY TOO MUCH bandwidth. But, what you can do, is post a link TO the media player file you want us to see. Although, if it's not already posted somewhere, you may need to find a free webhost to upload your file temporarily.

You mean ESHE? :D

I actually kind of admire that.

Ugh! What a loss in Double OT! Let's see where the cup ends up - I'm still rooting for the underdog!

Well Maral - if only I lived in LA, you could have had the 'vava' discount. Alas...

Flames are up 2-1 in the series. What a fantastic game!!! See: Flames win Game 3!

When you re-install your system - you should follow a few basic tips: Backup ALL of your perosnal files (including preference settings and other 'hidden' items, like your bookmarks, email folders if you're not using IMAP, documents, address books etc.) Also make sure you have the original CDs of all the applications you use (and the corresponding serial #s) on hand. Then you do it the old fashioned way - use a disk utility, boot from CD and format you're hardrive, and begin installing Windows from scratch. The good thing is, you'll have a clean system and be free of all the junk you accumulate without knowing it. The bad part is, it takes time - and if you're not sure about what you're doing you might lose some data that you may need (by not backing it up of course!) Good luck!

We have 2 recent model Dell Inspiron laptops at our office. They're both a heap of trouble. Mind you, the warranties have been honoured and any trouble we've had has been taken care of in an appropriate manner. The Dell desktops I used including the model I'm surrently using have been without reprieve. I hesitate to buy anything Sony. Let's just leave it at that. I have Toshiba M200 Tablet PC as a demo model that works like a charm. It's my only personal experience with Toshiba, and I have to say that it has been purely positive, with the exception of a few minor annoyances, mostly related to the OS (Windows XP tablet edition). There are some solid discount models - you could pick up a copy of Mobile PC magazine to check out their reviews.

In that case, I'll come over by myeself Sev

this thread is about hockey!!!

Anaheet jan, I completely agree with you. WELCOME!!! I greet you with open arms as an Armenian. To HF as well as into the Armenian community. Please DO connect with your heritage. And please disregard Vigil's opinion that Armenian-ness is such an exclusive club that those with 'impure' blood need not apply. Good luck, and hope you post here often.

This years Stanley Cup finals have been fabulous so far!! Even if my favourite teams have been eliminated, I'm still enjoting the fact that there's still one Canadian team alive. Go Flames Go! Flames win Game 1

One more thing - is it only internet applications that crash and choke? Do you have problems even when you're off-line? Here's the link to download SpyBot: Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2

Are you sure it's not your connection? If you're concerned about spyware, you may want to try Adaware, or Spybot. They're the two most popular Spyware detection software available nowadays. Do you have an antivirus? Have you updated the definitions? How long since you last re-installed the system? If it's been a while and you're constantly adding and deleting stuff, you may need to defrag your disk, although with thes newer OSes you should really have much of a problem... Let us know how to make out, cause it's not very easy to diagnose a problem like this at a distance

Why are you guys so concerned about how you're labelled? If it's false - it's false. Great. Why worry? Would it be so 'degrading' if Armenians were put in the same category as the British? Or the Swedes? Or maybe East Indians would be more acceptable and less 'degrading' ?? C'mon folks - these ideas of racial/ethnic superiority are better left in the trash cans of the past century.

But the exchange rate is creaping up! I think now the products are 75% as good

Now now - let's not get into that kind of argument! That would be kind of like judging which Hye-Forumer is the 'most' Armenian... I don't think we want to encourage that behaviour - despite how nationalistic some of us wish to be
