  Advice requested - speakers for TV
Posted by: Jinx999 - 08-04-2010, 01:38 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (7)

I recently bought a new TV. The picture is good, but I'm not happy about the sound. As an experiment, I tried plugging my 2.1 speakers from my computer into the headphone socket and got a distinct improvement.
1) does anyone know if this is a good way to improve the output, or am I missing something better?
2) Can anyone recommend a system to buy?

Body Mass Inex Calculator
I will admit to being obese. At 5'8" I weight 225 pounds in February. I just hit 200 pounds this week. The goal is 165-170 pounds. Should be able to do that in another 4 months. Tough though.

Quote:Astroboffins are warning that a mighty "eruption" of superhot plasma has been blasted out of the Sun directly at the Earth. The plasma cloud is expected to reach Earth beginning tomorrow, possibly causing strange phenomena - including a mighty geomagnetic storm which could see the Northern Lights aurorae extend as far south as Blighty or the northern USA.

Sounds interesting. Especially a chance to see the Northern Lights this far South.

I wonder if this is going to have an effect on the Satellite network upstairs, or on anyone's power grid.

  Gencon 2010
Posted by: Sweno - 08-03-2010, 05:21 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (2)

Ok, it's that time of year again.

I will be at Gencon Indy (Wednesday - Sunday), and will probably be off line most of the time. If anyone else from the boards is going to be there and wants to get together for gaming of some sort let me know, something can be organized.

Blackstone looked the space skimmer over with the jaded eye of someone who had seen far too many flying cars, flying buses, and flying Winnebagoes. It was small, but cunningly put together, with a base vehicle that looked like it might have started off as a roller coaster car. The second-hand nature of the fuselage was offset by the actual rockets that were mounted on the tail fins and the bubble canopy that appeared to be professionally shaped Plexiglas. The thing even had an internal electronic suite that the little brunette in the Girl Scouts uniform handled quite ably.
He turned to the two inventors and pilots and nodded. "Very nice, boys," he said. Then he frowned slightly, and added, "But aren't you two a little young to be working with handwavium?"
The first brother, a redhead with an impressive beak of a nose that he could only dream of growing into some day, looked at his more taciturn sibling, then back at Blackstone, and said, "Why, yes. Yes we are."
Blackstone grinned broadly. Fishing into coat pocket, he pulled out two Blue Blazer armbands and his business card. "You boys have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your summer vacation."
As the Cavalier returned to World Watch One, the redhead looked at the armbands and then held them up to his brother, saying excitedly, "Hey, Ferb, I think I figured out what else we're going to do today!"
