I thought it must be some kind of network port because it's in the wall
[QUOTE=smurfy;33403907]Does anybody know what these ports are? [img]http://imgkk.com/i/xxv6.jpg[/img] They're on the wall in some of the oldest rooms in my school, definitely been out of use for a decade or two[/QUOTE] My old school had them aswell, probably audio.
If they had have a sound system or PA system it might have been used for that.
[QUOTE=Warship;33403937]Looks like some sort of DIN plug, for audio[/QUOTE] Agreed. DIN-5 180° to be precise. Used for stereo analog audio and for MIDI, among other things. You'll have to trace the cables, find out if they're hooked up to anything to figure out which. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector[/url]
If only it were still connected. male din plug + MP3 player + rick astley, never gonna give you up.

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;33403149]You know, it's nice to actualy HAVE a physical copy of something rather than stream it from elsewhere. I like steam but atleast I have the files with me on site.[/QUOTE] I've actually had a lot of hands-on time with the service and it'a really not that bad. On a decent connection, Just Cause 2 and Red Faction were playsble to completion. You don't have a physical copy but the benefits include mobility and scalability. Imagine a world where games are no longer required to run on dated consoles. Developers can push as hard as they would like. Everyone can be on the cutting edge. Also I like the prospect of game rentals. Nothing beats a good old fashioned computer but this cloud service is a step in the right direction.

Really? Interesting.
AFAIK the school has never had a PA system or anything, I'll have a look at where the wires go tomorrow
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;33404104]Actually, Apple didn't make it. They just bought it and then built it in.[/QUOTE] Bought it from whom?
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;33404177]Bought it from whom?[/QUOTE] a company called siri they bought the technology and expanded a bit on it, but the core they bought

Well damn, and here I was giving Apple kudos for something they didn't make.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;33404318]Well damn, and here I was giving Apple kudos for something they didn't make.[/QUOTE] didn't google do the same thing with android unless I'm not mistaken (but of course expanded a lot on it)
[QUOTE=anton;33404381]didn't google do the same thing with android unless I'm not mistaken (but of course expanded a lot on it)[/QUOTE] Yep.
[QUOTE=anton;33404261]a company called siri they bought the technology and expanded a bit on it, but the core they bought[/QUOTE] I'm amazed they kept the original name and didn't tack some condescending hipster title on it.
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;33404389]I'm amazed they kept the original name and didn't tack some condescending hipster title on it.[/QUOTE] do you mindlessly hate on apple for the most trivial things as a hobby or something
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;33404389]I'm amazed they kept the original name and didn't tack some condescending hipster title on it.[/QUOTE] To be fair, it's already kind of a condescending hipster title.
[QUOTE=anton;33404464]do you mindlessly hate on apple for the most trivial things as a hobby or something[/QUOTE] Yes, it is a highly entertaining and fulfilling hobby. Try it some time.
