aha, thanks Sue.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Word is you can also call or email Apple and have them deauthorize just the one you want.
You can go to the iTunes Support page and send them the request.

Hey. New board.
My GF is an English teacher who has developed vocal cord nodules.
We bought her a headset microphone yesterday, with the plan to plug it in to the powered speakers she already has in her classroom. The plan was to go through the computer, which already runs into those speakers.
However, the computer she has in her classroom is crippled - it doesn't have the ability to monitor the Mic input, so there's no way to amplify her sound to get into the speakers.
Now we think we want to skip the computer. So we need a device (I think maybe it's a preamp?) that will take the microphone and up it to levels that can go straight into powered "computer" speakers.
Does such a device exist? Or should we just buy her a portable PA to plug the microphone into?

Sure they exist.
Like this: [link] But yu would need an adapter for the headset, I guess.
Or this: [link]
Or this one, which has 1/4 inch phono jacks, it appears: [link]
Or a 7-band preamp equalizer: [link]
I'm sure there are many more, and perfect for what you need.
Some computer speakers ave their own preamps, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Every once in a while, I see something that makes me say, "Wow, I had no idea computers could do that."
'PhotoSketch' Program Converts Doodles Into Photos (VIDEO)
ZDNet calls PhotoSketch, a new web-based program developed by a group of students in China, "quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen a computer do."
We couldn't agree more. The application takes a simple sketch (see screengrab below) and converts it into a detailed, digital, realistic, very cool photo.
How? Watch the video below and prepare to be amazed. Basically, the program takes the sketch (and the tags on it), scours the web for photos that match, then stitches them together using an algorithm.
This is one of those things that might make more sense if you watch the video....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Wow. That is WAY cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now I will have to think twice about second guessing computer achievements on CSI and their ilk. Because I never would have guessed computers could do that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Dell/OPI.
I saw that and though, "Oh, how funny, that makes it look like Dell's going to work with a nail polish company." Then I clicked on it and, hey, Dell's going to work with a nail polish company.
I hope they put out a Russian Navy case.
