    Screensaver for special application

    Guy, I've been tasked with finding some kind of screensaving software that continues to display the screen while it is running, but prevents burn in. It is for a business application where some monitors need to be visable 24/7. I have heard there are things like single lines of scrolling...

    iTunes 7

    Anyone else having some problems with the new iTunes? Ever since I installed it, i've noticed that simple things like web browsing and dragging windows around the screen will cause audio hiccups and static noises to erupt from iTunes. Winamp doesn't have the same problem, so I know it's the...

    Salvia

    Yes, he's right, the small people that are mixed into the acid climb into your brain and unplug all your synapses, then they walk around and mix um allllll up. Then, when you're done trippin, the unplug again, and reattach them all to the correct spot. It's really rather fantastic how those...

    I hope there are some EEs in here

    well non inverting is easy, any amplification is done with noninverting... i mean, realistically, inverting simply amplifies as well, i just need some application I can simplistically explain

    I hope there are some EEs in here

    im talking real life. An inverting configuration has the signal attached to the negative terminal, and a non-inverting has it connected to the positive terminal. The implication is that an inverter has negative gain, resulting in a negative output voltage, whereas the non-inverting...

    I hope there are some EEs in here

    I'm currently working on a lab report, and it was an Op-Amp lab, and the question is about applications. Could you guys help me out, some specific examples of when an inverting configuration is useful and when a non inverting configuration is useful.

    Catholics are not Christians?

    Catholics do not pray to saints or Mary or anyone, they ask the souls of the saints to pray on their behalf. It's like a guy who needs help, so he asks a bunch of his friends to help him out. Catholics ask Saints to pray for them while ALSO and primarily praying to God. Don't get a false...

    ATI AIW 9700 pro issue

    I just reformatted and reinstalled windows, and installed all my drivers, and now the TV aspect of multimedia center won't let me select anologue input, which is just cable TV. It's as if it doesn't even detect the tuner. Any ideas?

    Weird Problem defying all science and reason, and perhaps even magic

    hard drive does spin, no, only one harddrive, no squealing really, and it's the only thing on that cable... the hard drive is only a few months old, it had better not be going... I feel as though it may be the video card, because sometimes when it does finally boot, the VPU fails and the video...
