Flights from Madrid & Paris to Amsterdam

So my best friends and I will be studying abroad for the next school year, two of us in Madrid and two of us in Paris. My 21st birthday is on a long weekend (April 2nd) and I really want all of us to go to Amsterdam.
Problem is we need to find flights. Neither Ryanair, [...]

Marketing-oriented identity

A recent post here resulted in much discussion of UW’s new “marketing-oriented” logo. There is now a Facebook group protesting the new logo that has exploded to nearly 4000 people over the last two days. Just thought you might like to know.
For anyone fed up with this and other instances of UW’s corporate behaviour, I’ll [...]

Internet provider

I know of Cogeco, Bell, Rogers, TekSavvy, and Acanac in the area. Are there any other recommended providers?
Currently on Bell’s student promo, which is ending this fall.  I’m splitting the cost with just one other person and need a dry loop, so I’m looking for something cheap. Which seems to be Acanac, but I’m iffy on their [...]

MindReader and learning

The specialists of the International center for education "Areopagit" (www.areopagit.com) develop the "convincing" to learn program. This program is designed on the base of the research of Dr. Igor Smirnov “Semantic Stimuli Response Measurements Technology”, or SSRM Tek, a software-based mind reader that supposedly tests a subject’s involuntary response to subliminal messages.

Someone told me you can walk across the border from [...]

$225 – $250 artist and queer friendly home looking for 2 housemates

Two bedrooms open in a three bedroom house for August first or sooner. Rent is either $225 – $250, depending on rooms. Utilities are split, and I am open to sharing food. Also am open to the idea of renting the rooms out as studio spaces to anyone who is interested in that. Wood floors [...]

MFA – Non Fiction, Fiction, or Poetry?

Anyone involved in MFAs for creative writing, how did you choose your area and why? From what I’ve read it looks like the most popular genres are fiction, non-fiction, and poetry writing. Did your undergraduate studies have a large bearing on what kind of MFA you looked into? Once in your MFA program did you [...]

Windows 7 DVD

*EDIT* Found someone that was generous enough to help me with the DL and DVD imaging, thanks a lot!
Greetings!
Does anyone tech-savvy have a copy of Windows 7 on DVD that I can perhaps borrow / buy, or know any place on campus / in Waterloo-Kitchener where I might be able to find one?
I am putting [...]
