Re: Depends on if the device they are connected to

The speakers are connected to the PC's sound card. They are only turned on when I want to listen to something. The PC is turned on only when I'm using it; otherwise, it's plugged into the UPS but is powered off.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Where do PCs have internal microphones? - (lincoln) - (6) - June 9, 2006, 04:59:13 PM EDT

All speakers are potetially microphones. - (folkert) - (3) - June 9, 2006, 05:03:10 PM EDT

Will they work as mics when powered off? -NT - (lincoln) - (2) - June 9, 2006, 05:04:35 PM EDT

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
