    Discovering Charles Bukowski's "Alone With Everybody"

    Well, if the post was inspired by translating poetry i’ll throw one out. The poem is “Desmayarse, Atreverse, Estar Furioso” by the Spanish playwright/poet Lope de Vega. It’s not my favorite although it’s up there, but I found it translates extremely well. Here it is in spanish for those who...

    American students not capable of attending college

    All of the below info is just my opinion. Well let me use a couple of analogies. As much as we like to think of ourselves as advanced, we are no different than the animals that surround us. In a pack, the Alpha Male is usually the head of the pack. There will be those few select members, who...

    Is It Appropriate to Date a Coworker from HR?

    Don’t tell her your feelings or any of that other stuff. Seriously, you don’t know this girl well enough to get into that kind of stuff. Just look for her and when you find her say “hey want to grab some coffee/lunch?” or something to that degree. She’ll either say yes or no and if not will...

    Is Best Buy's Pricing Strategy Driving Customers Away?

    Basically every profitable company does this. Just like those Macbook Pro’s. You buy one for over 1k and in under 6 months a new better model has come out. Worst of all, what can you really do? You already know that a new model will come out 6 months from now, but then a newer model will...

    Reflecting on 2011 and Looking Ahead to 2012: A Personal Perspective

    Well first of all, let me say that seeing “2012” as “Post Dates” on the forum still seems a little weird to me. Now, are any of you going to miss 2011? I personally know that 2011 was the worst year academically of my entire life. This is no exaggeration either, it was literally horrible. It...

    Troubleshooting Vertical Margin Issues in MS Word

    I’m sorry that’s the only way i can think of (format, document, margins) to fix it, without looking at your document through your computer. When I open the document you attached on my computer, it shows a document with margins that are off, but it has margins nonetheless. Maybe someone can...

    Troubleshooting Vertical Margin Issues in MS Word

    Well, the thing is that there’s a “gutter” on the side margins, so even though you think you’re getting 1/2” margin, you’re actually getting a 1” margin. The top and bottom is already a 1/2” margin, but the sides aren’t. So set the “gutter” to zero, and you should be able to get 1/2” blanks on...

    Introduction to Optics (by Fowler) any good?

    Hello, I have recently been looking into purchasing this book. I know it’s only ten dollars, but money is money, and if some of you pleasant people have any experience with this book I’d appreciate any feedback (of the book). Thank you and have a Merry X-mas. :-p

    Troubleshooting Vertical Margin Issues in MS Word

    If I understand your problem correctly you have to go to format, document, then set the top, bottom, left, and right to the space you like. Below those there should be an options called “header and footer” and “gutter”. Set those equal to zero and it’ll let you write from top to bottom, left to...

    News Is North Korea's idolization of its leader truly beneficial for its citizens?

    Throw some i pods, wifi, starcraft, PS3, and Xbox across the DMZ and you’ve distracted enough N. Koreans to take over the country. I think one of two things can happen. Either N. Korea goes ballistic and does something utterly idiotic to flex their “muscles” or the new leader is too immature...

    The best physics magazines and the best physics books?

    Hello, first off, thank you for viewing my thread. My main concern is in how difficult the topic of Optics is going to be. I took Physics B in high school, and Optics was very easy for me there, but I think it’ll be wise to assume the 2nd year Optics course in college will be much more...
