I have learned a lot about coaxial, composite (RCA), VGA (d-sub 15-pin analog), s-video (analog), DVI (digital, computer), component (RGB analog), and HDMI (digital and sometimes with HDCP encryption), but I'm missing how the big picture relates to my practical considerations of the various equipment choices and interfaces.

But when does each standard become helpful? Display size, resolution, response time? In other words, how do the acronymns: PAL, 720p (progressive), 1080i (interlaced), etc. translate to the video sources, and TVs or monitors that I am considering to purchase?

And how do they support both analog and digital in the same standard, while DVI requires variations (dvi-d, dvi-i, dvi-a)?

Do adapters care whether the signal is digital or analog, and if not, then are any losses with adapters?

And what is this talk about "upconverting" a signal? Is this specific to digital, or can it work for analog?

Lastly, can a capture card receive a digital signal without losses?

Years ago I had been given a recipe for cupcakes that were made from scratch. I remember that they contained chocolate chips and something else that when baked came to the top and formed their own frosting. Have any of you ever heard of these, and if so, does anyone have a recipe they could share?

I've always been horny and love having sex everyday since I was young. I'm only 28 and I was just wondering if being horny all the time is normal for my age.

I have a Master Degree in Marketing! But end up now, I am a Finance Manager in an internal company, I don’t like my job, but everyone seem to think that I am doing a good job!!!
I have been married nearly 8 years, my husband loves me so much. But I like him enough to stay with him, but I don’t think I love him as much as he does about me. Basically, I am in a life which I don’t really want to be, then again, there is not enough of reason for me to get out of it, and I am scared to get out of it, it is too comfortable! Time to time, I am two different person, one of me want to be myself, another one wants to be the perfect Mrs. at home, and with a black suit in work!

What should I do?

I live in Cardiff and the cycle paths are rubbish. Most of the time i cycle to work using side streets so few cars about, but if i want to go to the city centre its along a very busy main road, which has a very wide footpath. if i am courteous and give way to pedestrians, is it still wrong of me to ride on here? i don't want to get hit by a bus!

I would ask the smug evolutionist, "Are you upset that things have not turned out well for you?
What heresy! How dare you entertain such a notion?"
And to those who extol the evolutionary code of jungle morality, I would ask, "How can you get angry at someone for wronging you, when, by your own code, you claim that there is no right, no wrong, no absolute? How can you dare to judge?"

What say you all?

Its a wonder why our country is still buying this s*** up still. 80% of all toys in the U.S. are made in china, that doesn't leave us with much of a choice. Over 9 million toys were recalled due to led in the paint..(even on the hard plastic toys, which makes no sense) and of course the magnet thing. But what concerns me the most is not only the led that is completely unnecessary to put in paint...but the recall of the pet food recently that was killing our pets! I don't know about other people but on this note I refuse to buy this Crap....but how? 80%! Everything more or less is bought from china in our country. I have a 11 month old that has a toy box full of toys made in china....he chews on everything right now...he's teething. I'd like to throw them all out...but does anyone know where I can get toddler toys that aren't made in china...and that means things other than swizzles and wazzels..(lol) everything I look at online for american made toys are toys you'd see 80yrs ago!

Why do people block others from answering their questions?

P.S. I do have a few that have blocked me from answering their questions who I will not mention by name. Know this, Jesus still loves you even though you are not giving me a chance to.

Why is the U.S using OUR tax money to help israel defence (as if they need it more than us). shouldn't someone say something, and dosn't the U.S have a war to fight that needs funding. Whats more important, israels safety from unarmed palestinians that want peace, or armor for the U.S troops, benefits for those families, and salary for troops?

All she talks about is the failings of this administration. We know all about that. What is she going to do to make my life better. More taxes will not help me. Soft on crime will not help me. Her immigration ideas will not help me. Her government controlled health care programs will definatly not help me. The whole democrat partys support of the ACLU is a joke. I do believe that gays should have the SAME rights as me, not more. My guns ARE registered. So why should I vote for her, or Barack? They have no idea how to get us out of Iraq.

Ya I know Bush sucks, so don't come back at me with that. Try to be creative.
Thanks

Any help is appreciated, and needed.

1. What volume of 0.800M KOH is needed to neutralize 15.0mL of 0.65M H2SO4?

2. What is the molarity of sodium hydroxide if 38mL of the solution is titrated to the end point with 14mL of 0.75M sulfuric acid?

3. It requires 24.6 mL of Ca(OH)2 solution to neutralize 14.2 mL of 0.0140M HCH3COO. What is the concentration of the calcium hydroxide solution?

4. By titration, it is found that 12.4 mL of H2SO4 is required to neutralize 19.8 mL of 0.100M Ca(OH)2. What is the molarity of the H2SO4?

5. What is the volume of 0.120M Ba(OH)2 is required to neutralize 12.2 mL of 0.25M HCl?

Like I said, any help is appreciated, and needed. I have no hope of passing this class unless I get an understanding of this subject.
