I consider myself to be pretty technically inclined, I can usually fix most problems myself, but this one has exhausted me. I built this computer myself a few years ago, but never really used it much until recently. The problem that I've noticed is my USB ports respond, but won't provide power out to any devices. For an example, when I plug my digital camera in (powered by batteries, therefore doesn't need any power from the USB ports) my computer recognizes and works with it just fine. But on the other hand, when I plug in a web cam (requires power from the USB port) the system doesn't even acknowledge it's connected. My web cam has a power light, which doesn't turn on when I connect it, and the web cam is not being listed in Device Manager. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for both the USB controller and the web cam several times, to no avail. I've checked all the motherboard jumpers and BIOS settings and can't find anything wrong there. I even did a complete clear of all my BIOS settings. Still nothing. Is there some reason Win XP would be keeping power from going out, or something else I'm not thinking of?

ASUS P4S8X-X motherboard, all setting restored to factory default, on board USB 2.0. Win XP with all updates. Everything else functioning normally.

If I'm on a networked mac---I live on the campus where I work and my computer is plugged into the school's network---can others see what I'm doing on my computer? I don't have to log in to my computer, but I do have to log into the web. Would spying on me require installing software on my computer? If so, is there any way of figuring out whether or not I have that software on my laptop?

Do you think certain websites would set off some sort of alarm with the IT office---or streaming videos or the like?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this!

i am in love with www.wefeelfine.org, and ever since i fell in love with it i've thought it would make a spectacular screensaver, but i can't seem to figure out a feasible way to do so

there are several programs that allow you to use a website as a screensaver but the problem is that once the site is loaded java says something along the lines of "please click on this applet to focus" - which means that nothing displays and the purpose is defeated

does anybody have any ideas of how to get around this? or how i could get some sort of wefeelfine.org screensaver?

the author wishes for the same thing:

Unfortunately, the "please click here to focus" is a property of a java applet and not something we programmed in.
Sorry about that!

You have wefeelfine_pc.html and I assume wefeelfine_mac.html, it could be
wefeelfine_noclick.html or something like that?

Hi!

I'm assisting a nonprofit using MS FrontPage to create a website. We'd like to be able to transfer word files to .pdf format to use with the FrontPage created website. Are there reliable open source applications out there? The budget is tight so we need something free or inexpensive.

Thank you!

Is anyone really smart and knows anything about RSS feeds? It's confusing me. I'm trying to make a podcast, and I've entered in everything right (at least, I think I have) but it keeps saying I have an error. I uploaded a word document with the RSS feed code onto my webhost, but it keeps saying this message: "This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty." If anyone can explain to me what this means and why it's happening, it would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hello, I'm new to this community and I've had this question bugging me for an eternity (well okay, maybe not that long). What is the "correct" way to Web Design.

This question came to me because I've had a domain for about Four years now, and I haven't been able to do much with it to tell you the truth. It's just a place for me to keep practicing web design. Well. I've gotten many complaints from visitors from how I designed my web site. Personally, I don't give fucking damn about what someone thinks, it's just kind of frustrating when so many people tell me different things.

So my question to you is, what is the correct way to design? Is there a correct way? Or is it just however feels right to the designer? I don't think there's a goddamn correct way, I just think there's just many different ways and that it's up to the web designer to choose the "best" way.

What's your opinion? Or can you give an answer to my question?

Edit
Thank you for your comments!

Now: I guess I should've mentioned what I use. When designing a website, I usually use "tables" but I've heard CSS Div layers were better. But some browsers do not support CSS so what am I to use?

Hey everyone... I'm working on designing an identity for myself (logo, business card, letter head, website). I've already got a logo (http://filebox.vt.edu/users/araja/logo.jpg) - but am trying to brainstorm ideas for the rest.

Any examples of identities you guys have done for yourselves (not for corporate entities), or that you find to be good examples? I'm especially interested to see the relationship between the print and web (how the logo on the business card translates to the web portfolio, for example).

Thanks a bunch.

Hi, I'm looking for some commercial software, more specifically, a calendar that can be hosted on a webserver, accessed and edited by multiple users, give the admin different control levels, and have a ton of room for customization. I'm doing web development for a non profit organization.

Here is the problem, everything that I've provided and shown my boss is either 1. not *pretty* or professional looking enough or 2. not what he needs (canned software that can't be customized enough to fit his organization's needs.

I've tried to tell him that other than having a small company develop the program entirely from scratch, there is not really anything else we can really do.

The closest thing I've come to his approval is the calendar available at http://www.mhsoftware.com, but he doesn't like the day view mode of the calendar.

I've told him instead of shelling out all kinds of cash for software to be developed specifically for him we instead could use certain elements of the calendar and the rest could be php scripts containing forms, tables, etc. Well he still has me looking so what I want to know is, has anyone seen a commercially available calendar application that can be hosted on the web and have a ton of room for customization?
Cost doesn't seem to be an issue either.

The example he gave me of what he wishes it to be like is his calender on...AOL. :(

The biggest problem is this is an exact copy of the email I get from this organizations office when I presented them with a letter similar to this.

"I THINK WE SHOULD GO WITH THE MICROSOFT - I FEEL SURE IT WOULD MEET OUR NEEDS FOR THE TIME BEING."

That was the email I got...wow. I'll call MS right up and have them get to work on the application...It's becoming a real problem trying to get them to understand anything.

Thanks for any help x-posted to a few other places.

happy new year buddies

does anyone have a form they use to give potential new clients looking for websites? like an info gathering form like "what kind of look and feel, how many pages do you need, what kind of timeline" etc? i'm realizing i need to start getting more info from my clients before i start work.

i know i've seen one of these forms before i just can't remember where.
thanks.

edit: i've found this http://www.rgdontario.com/lookItUp/publications/handbook/default.asp but the design/client brief form isn't that detailed.

Hey everyone!

I use both Firefox (2.0.0.1) and SlimBrower. SB has this option where you can configure shortkeys so that the .net/.org/.livejournal.com/any other website extension are automatically added by pressing [ctrl]+[enter] or another combination of the [ctrl] [alt] [shift] and [enter] keys.

Now, I was wondering if it was possible to do the same thing in Firefox? Perhaps with an add-on?

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a project that will be entirely centered around and operated through a website. I have the contents and the basic design, but I lack the webdesign and programming skills to make it happen, so I'm looking for someone to be my partner in crime. This is purely a hobby project and I won't make a single cent from it so I can't pay you in money, but you get full credit (regardless of how much or little of the design is yours to begin with), my eternal gratitude and as many cookies as you want.

I'm keen to get started asap, so if you're interested, please get in touch with me as soon as possible!
