    yeah - um - I'm not sure why that's the title of this thread. Juggs?

    I see it Domino jan... I don't suppose your aim was to create something flattering, was it?
  4. Great news Sip!!! Good to know you're bro's following in your footsteps...
  5. There's also the infamous 'logic board' problem of 2nd gen iBooks. Yes, sadly, they used screws that were a tiny bit too long (so when you picked up the laptop by it's left side, your 'squeezed' the screws into the logic board!) Everyone makes production line mistakes, I suppose.
  6. I hate to tell ya Sip, it's just the unerwear that's for sale

    Iraqi Abuse

    Sip jan, no one is saying that the US is the only bad guy... but we should expect that the US, for all the preaching about ridding the world of evil, should really demonstrate themselves to be 'above' that type of behaviour. When in fact the reality is, soldiers will be soldiers. Was Saddam as bad as his (perhaps) trumped up track record indicates? Probably. What about the American army's track record? The fact that one can even draw parallels between an 'evil' dictatorial regime and the actions of the American military (who are a product of a progressive and supposedly well-meaning society) is disappointing beyond words.

    Couple Of Jokes

    A husband and wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full-length mirror taking a hard look at herself. "You know, dear" she says, "I look in the mirror, and I see an old woman. My face is all wrinkled, my boobs are barely above my waist, and my butt is hanging out a mile. I've got fat legs, and my arms are all flabby." She turns to her husband and says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself." He studies hard for a moment thinking about it and then says in a soft, thoughtful voice, "Well, ... there's nothing wrong with your eyesight."
  10. Here's a thread that might be useful for you. Welcome to HyeForum,

    Azat - you're on a roll!!!
  13. Wow! Thanks for the link Maral. It looks like a beauty! I would love one day to 'sail the seven seas' but I think I would prefer a slightly more modern vessel. Perhaps one with a emergency engine, a radio & a GPS.
  14. Nice to see you back Rouben, I hope things are well...
  15. Have a great trip Knight. Be sure to take plenty of notes and pictures. Those of us who would love to visit, but for so many reasons, will not be able to in the near furture, will be able to see & feel through your eyes & heart. Edit: and you too MX
  16. Ok - IMO - boiling is for pasta. no, but seriously, boiling veggies = zero taste. You can however, steam them. Which is essentially, what Maral is doing to her brocolli in the microwave. But use a bamboo steamer, (it's quite amazing how much of a difference it makes) and whatever you do, don't over cook! I like to steam brocolli, green & yellow beans, carrots, snow peas, leek and asparagus (er, not all together) but steaming is cool (and healthy too!) Man, I'm getting hungry! Oh, and to answer your other question Nairi - you can roast just about any vegetable just make sure that they're all cut about the same thickness/size, and that you cook veggies together that take about the same length of time to cook. You don't want to cook thin snow peas for the same length of time as thick carrots! And as for marinating, well in this case we were just coating the veggies with oil, and not marinating them, so yes you can use them right away.
  17. they do?? I almost always make the vegatables last (or close to last), right before the meal is served. I like them crisp - not overcooked/muchy. Crisp vegatables are great - and you derive more nutritional value from them compared to when they're too cooked. Nairi try this: Preheat oven to 450F Choose a flat cookie sheet (and leave in oven to get hot) Vegetables: Red Peppers in large juliennes (each pepper should give you about 6 pieces, maybe 8 if they're large) Zuchinni - I like'em small (about 2cm diameter) cut in half Onions - if you can get baby onions (no more than 4cm diameter) put them in whole - if not get a large sweet (vidalia is nice) onion and cut in quarters (leave the end on to keep the layers attached) toss all the vegetables with olive oil in a bowl (lightly so that the veggies are completely but just barely covered) - oh and make sure it's extra-virgin olive oil, and that it's tasty! sprinkle with salt, cracked fresh pepper, chopped shallots (and you can add some basil, & chopped chillies for taste) Take the pan out of the oven and dump the veggies onto the pan (try to spread the out so that there is only one layer) enjoy the few seconds of sizzle. Put the pan in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes or so (check!) whe the veggies are sizzling, and begging to look cooked, turn them - many will be charred on one side - and cook for anothe 3 -5 minutes. And there - a very simple (and delicious) roasted vegetable medley. It should take 20-25 minutes tops including the minimal chopping. And most of that time you can sit and study, or wait for your rice to 'dam quashel'
  18. I really like the distributed authoring concept - and it I think I understand the necesssity of XML to set the method parameters to enable features such as locking... but how is webDAV any different than a well implemented work-group/collaboration server solution? And I noticed that the document you linked to was copywritten in 1999 - is this something that just never caught on? (especially since you had never heard of it... )
  19. Can anyone explain to me what webDAV is? Is it a new protocol, or some sort of API? Is it compatible over regular HTTP (1.1)?What software is required to run webDAV? and is it compatible with most common web server technology eg. Apache? Any input would be appreciated.
  20. How coincidental!!!! Wasn't there a thread just a few days ago haphazardly mentioning how Armenia didn't have any TVs & Tractors???
  21. Parska-Hye recipes are the best Nairi, I'll have to try your macaroni....

    Present Vs Future

    Present Vs Future

    I'm afraid that Davo's philosophy is the one that predominates - especially in world politics/economics. We (as a global society) are constantly sacrificing our well-being in the furture for current convenience/profit... one has only to look at the environment to see a prime example. But I wholeheartedly disagree that the furture is something we have no influence on - on the contrary we should plan carefully to endure that the future will continue to remain bright for generations to come. Living for the moment can be great - and is immediately gratifying, but there is something to be said about resposibility.
