Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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....
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.
In pairings I never would have guessed: Dell/OPI.
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.
This may be the weirdest technical question ever asked on the Buffista board. (Maybe there is no "may" about it.) But I realized a nitty gritty question about the details of sacrifice to folk saints and pagan gods really is a technical question.
I read about St. Expedite on Boing Boing who is a folk saint, or really a minor deity, one of whose sacrifices is pound cake. And I started wondering about the details of sacrificing pound cake on a home altar. It seems like it would almost have to be an outdoor altar. Cause indoors the pound cake would sit and rot and attract insects and rodent. Outdoors, I guess it would too, but without harm, and symbolically I guess when the ants or whatever get it that is the saint eating cake. If the altar was indoors, I would be tempted to put a well wrapped slice of cake there, leave it for a bit and if the saint did not take , eat for him. But if the saint was real (and if you are actually sacrificing on an altar to a saint you probably mostly believe he is real) that would be a very bad idea. So I guess what I'm wondering is how does this whole sacrificing flowers and cake and wine and stuff work? I mean assuming gods don't actually stop by and bodily pick up their sacrifices, how are sacrifices made in a way that is not - messy?
TB,
through some googling, I found a sacrifice of pound cake recommendation for santeria. You are to go to the ocean and sacrifice the pound cake (or to a river and leave fruit):

People who more about SEO than I do - does word order matter when trying cram keywords into a page's title? I've been banging my head against a wall trying to convince our marketing team that we *really* should have the NAME OF THE COMPANY be the first word in our homepage's title (so it's still visible even if the user minimizes the window or navigates to another tab).
I received a google wave invitation today! Thank you! When I have the ability to invite others, I will.
