A couple of days ago I needed to use the oscilloscope to observe the behavior of the digital circuit I was designing for university. I was too tired to drive all the way to school to use their scope. So as always laziness is the mother of invention. I looked online and found this.

Its totally awesome, and all you need is a sound card to use it. You just connect your input into the microphone jack. It works exactly like a real oscilloscope and what amazes me is how accurate it is!!!
I later went to school and compared what the real oscilloscope gave me. Very close actually!!! And btw it has a built in spectrum analyzer!!!
Be careful, anything higher than 1V input and you will fry your sound card, I guarantee it.
