StraightEdge Straightedgers can be identified at rock concerts by a fl ``X'' marked on the back of their hands. As a social movement straightedge appears to be a labyrinth of false perceptions. Brummel, 26, says he got involved in straightedge as a teenager because he thought it was cool to chose a positive lifestyle. www.thewritecoach.com /suntimes.html   (1778 words)

Angle Trisection I answered the second question by saying it was impossible to trisect an angle with a straightedge and a compass, and gave the person a reference to some modern algebra books as well as an article Evelyn Sander wrote about squaring the circle. Mark on the straightedge the length between A and B. Take the straightedge and line it up so that one edge is fixed at the point B. Let D be the point of intersection between the line from A parallel to BC. Move the marked straightedge until the line BD satisfies the condition AB = ED, that is adjust the marked straightedge until point E and point D coincide with the marks made on the straightedge. www.geom.uiuc.edu /docs/forum/angtri   (1278 words)

Straightedge and Modified [The Publisher’s Ring] Straightedge appears as an interesting connundrum — it advocates a strong sense of community, yet it willfully isolates itself from the mainstream. Straightedge was “founded” in part to combat the nihilism of early punk, but hate edge embraces this nihilism. Straightedge, especially when combined with the tools that modification and body rites have to offer, can be an effective way of helping achieve that — as long as it doesn’t degrade into joyless and narrow-minded oppressive militancy. www.bmezine.com /news/pubring/20031210.html   (8512 words)

Encyclopedia: Compass and straightedge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) A number of ancient problems in geometry involve the construction of lengths or angles using only an idealized ruler and compass, or more properly a straightedge and compass. The ruler is infinitely long, but it has no markings on it and has only one edge (thus making it a straightedge instead of what we usually think of as a ruler). The only thing you can use it for is to draw a line segment between two points, or to extend an existing line. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Compass-and-straightedge   (1533 words)

Straightedge - Uncyclopedia Straightedge (also known as sXe and straight edge) is a dizzyingly complicated and unique sect of the droid warriors of Ares, the Greek God of War. Even with several Straightedge victories in the first four months, the combined armies of Dionysus and Oprah counterattacked in early June, taking the holy city. The Straightedgers were faced with a heroic defense of their capital, Fist City. uncyclopedia.org /wiki/SXe   (727 words)

Free Term Papers on Straightedge Straightedge is a word to describe a self-chosen life style of self-respect. The rumor of organization was started after noticing that straightedge people are often seen together with X’s on their hands (to denote themselves as being straightedge) going to music shows or hang outs. Straightedge, as mentioned before, grew out of music; and it is still proven to be a major vehicle of ideas and symbolism. www.freefortermpapers.com /show_essay/1737.html   (306 words)

Eastside - Cherry Hill High School East - Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Eventually, with the expansion of the straightedge philosophy, the “X” became the straightedge sign for commitment to the movement, even for those of legal age to drink. Some students at East live the straightedge lifestyle even though they do not label themselves as straightedge or associate their way of life with hardcore or punk music. The line may be a bit cloudy on what exactly fits into the straightedge category, but the members who remain committed are certainly devoted to their lifestyle standard of living. my.highschooljournalism.org /nj/cherryhill/cheast/article.cfm?eid=2010&aid=25749   (992 words)

Straightedge - VeggieBoards RveganR, i don't consider myself straightedge (even though i haven't done any of that stuff yet, but still...) and i can see plenty of reasons why you would want to abstain from all that. For people who take it seriously, straightedge is not necessarily a trend, it's a way of staying healthy and protecting your body while at the same time, beating society's stereotypes of (punk) teens. Though I do not drink, except for a very seldom occasional glass of wine or champagne on a special occasion with the permission of a parent, I do feel that 18-year-olds should be able to drink legally. www.veggieboards.com /boards/showthread.php?t=18033   (2340 words)

[generic] Compass and straightedge whining I've heard one good argument against compass and straightedge, that being "on Friday there were not enough to go around". There's really no way to fake it without an actual compass and straightedge.

Geometric construction with the straightedge alone It's impossible to find the center of a given circle with the straightedge alone. Assume also that there exists a construction that uses only a straightedge that, according to the construction rules, produces a sequence of straight lines such that at the end two of the lines intersect at the center of the circle. As we draw lines from the sequence we may as well draw their images under T. These image lines will follow the construction rules as well, but, as the result, will produce a different point. www.cut-the-knot.com /impossible/straightedge.shtml   (230 words)

[PTt] - the sXe movement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) According to the FAQ, straightedge is a derivative, a 'philosophical' offshoot of the punk movement.

Compass and Straightedge Constructions in Geometry -- Step-By-Step Instructions By the way, although we show in Unit 2 that a regular heptagon (7-gon) cannot be constructed with compass and straightedge alone, the remarkably close approximation displayed on the Unit 2 home page was discovered by a middle school student! In this section, we use geometric arguments to show that the constructible numbers form a subfield of the field of real numbers that includes all of the rational numbers and is included in the subfield of algebraic numbers (i.e., the set all real numbers that can be roots of polynomial equations with rational coefficients). These constructible numbers are the key to understanding what is possible and what is not when it comes to compass and straightedge constructions. mtl.math.uiuc.edu /modules/module13/what_to_do.htm   (1751 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) In constructing geometric figures with straightedge and compass, the allowed tools are a straightedge (you can use a ruler, but you can't use its markings) and a compass for drawing circles.
