Where can I develop film, and get some prints made from negatives, in Washington DC? I don't need anything super fancy, but I prefer to avoid CVS/Walgreens/etc. Any tips?

The baseboard on my enlarger is warped, and as a result the enlarger head does not project perpendicularly to the board. It's not huge, but definitely noticeable, maybe 4-5 degrees from vertical. My enlarger doesn't have an adjustment function to compensate for the tilt. Does this end up actually being a problem for prints? If I stop down enough, will the greater depth of field compensate for the tilt (meaning that at least the whole print will be in focus, even if a tad skewed). What do you think? Go with it as is, or go through the trouble of making a new baseboard out of plywood?

OK, yes, I'm not a moron, I have an idea what it means historically (WWII and whatnot). However, the word gets used a lot by people all over the political spectrum as an insult. What specifically does it mean to you when you hear the word in the modern context? Please don't refer to specific people, governments or parties. I don't want examples, I want a brief description or a few synonyms. I'm interested to see the range of opinion! Thanks!

When by his record he is more conservative than Ronald Reagan? I actually wish he were a socialist, and I'm disappointed he's not.

Good nightclubs? Bars? Slot machines are for grandmas.

On a lot of the coverage of the protests in Egypt, I see men holding pictures of Mubarak with 6-pointed starts drawn on his face-forehead. Clearly the symbol is being used to deface the image of the president. My question is this: Is this act related to any negative sentiment towards Jews (calling the President Jewish or a Zionist or something), or does this symbol also have another meaning/understanding in Arab or Muslim cultures? Please only respond with serious answers.

How would I say "I see 150 pretty girls"

Я вижу полУтораста красивых девушек?

Or-

Я вижу полтораста красивых девушек?

If you had to live anywhere in the world for the rest of your life OTHER than Europe or English-speaking countries, what would it be?

In Germany Scientology is classified as a cult. Where do the borders of religion end and cult begin? Please don't respond by saying "all religions are cults." That's very predictable and cynical.

Does anyone else have trouble taking posters' questions seriously when they fail to distinguish between:

your = owned by you

you're = you are

ur = an ancient city in Mesopotamia

their = owned by them

they're = they are

there = located at that place

its = owned by it

it's = it is

?

I understand that there are a lot of questions that Wikipedia can not answer, like personal opinions or advice that is very specific ("What is the best bar in Tulsa?" for example). I don't understand why people ask very broad questions about subjects that are thoroughly examined in Wikipedia, such as, "What were the causes leading up to World War II?" It takes 300 times longer to get a response here, and the answers are generally much less consistent in quality.
