Estranged GNR lyric

Estranged

Guns N' Roses

(Rose)


When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart


I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me


Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out


Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home
(Alone)


So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see


When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for


Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die


I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you


I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

Apakah engineering itu ?

Sebagaimana Prof.Anant Agarwal, salah satu definisi dari engineering yang paling saya sukai berasal dari Prof. Senturia. Definisi itu cukup ringkas dan lebih gampang diingat.

"Engineering is the purposeful use of science."

Dr. Stephen Senturia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Stephen Senturia

Stephen D. Senturia joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science immediately after completing his education (Harvard, B.A. in Physics, summa cum laude, 1961, and MIT, Ph.D. in Physics, 1966), initially as Research Scientist, then as Assistant Professor in 1967, with subsequent promotions up the ranks. From 1992 to 2002, he held the Barton L. Weller Chair in Electrical Engineering. He has been involved in microsensor and MEMS research since the early 1970’s. For a number of years, his research focused on developing material-property measurement methods and CAD tools for MEMS. The work on MEMCAD led to the spin-out from his group of the two companies that lead this commercial field: IntelliSense, and Coventor. He was a co-founding Editor, and later Senior Editor, of the ASME/IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, and he has been active in the leadership of the IEEE International Conference on Solid-State Sensors and Actuators, serving as Technical Program Chair in 1997 and as Local Arrangements Chair for the 2003 meeting in Boston. In 2000, he published Microsystem Design, a graduate textbook in MEMS modeling and design. Most recently, he was part of the team developing the Polychromator. After retiring from MIT in 2002, Dr. Senturia has served as Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Polychromix, Inc., Wilmington, MA, a company he founded to adapt the Polychromator technology for commercial use. Honor and professional societies include the National Academy of Engineering, the IEEE (Fellow), Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi. In addition to serving on several academic and industrial Advisory Boards, Dr. Senturia is President of the Transducer Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that sponsors conferences in the MEMS fields and uses the proceeds to support student travel grants.

What is science, apakah yang disebut ilmu pengetahuan itu ?

Apakah "science" itu ? Bagi banyak orang (bahkan di sebagian kalangan perguruan tinggi) tampaknya science itu tidak lebih dari sekumpulan besar pengetahuan. Atau yang lebih parah, cuma sekumpulan besar rumus-rumus. Atau yang lebih parah lagi, cuma sekumpulan informasi dan keterampilan untuk mencari makan.

Apa yang dinamakan "kenyataan hidup" telah jauh mereduksi kemampuan manusia. Sungguh mematikan gairah, menghancurkan semangat, merusak jiwa. Apa yang bisa kita lakukan tentang itu ?
 

Science involves more than the gaining of knowledge.
It is the systematic and organized inquiry into the natural world and its phenomena.
Science is about gaining a deeper and often useful understanding of the world.
