  • USB Hub Controller controls how many devices?

    How many USB devices can one controller use? My professor said the answer is two but she has been mistaken on things before which I called her out on in class but she insisted this was correct when I tried to correct her. I know USB hubs support multiple devices but perhaps there a controller is a component inside the hub that only supports two, but the USB standards say it can support up to 97 devices if I remember correctly.

    Any help on this would be great, thank you.

  • In the streets and someone reveals a gun?

    I was out today in town stopped at a gas station someone told me to come over to them, I declined he walked up to me and pulled his shirt to show the handle of a handgun. All I did was look at the camera and say bye got in my car and left.

    But I was wondering in the event there wasn't a camera or security could I have attacked him since I felt my life was in danger or do I have to wait legally and give him the opportunity to pull the gun and shoot me before I attack can I attack while he reaches for it? Basically when is it okay for me to defend myself and not go to jail?

    I really don't want to hurt anyone, it brings me to tears right now thinking that I might have to end someones life or even just severely hurt them to save my own.

    I do not carry a gun, all I have is my keys to put between my fingers to defend myself and sometimes a less than 2" knife as permitted by local law.

  • Depression from caffeine withdrawal help?

    How can I make this easier? The depression really messes with my other emotions especially those towards my girl, it makes me feel like I'm no longer in love and makes me feel so empty and alone inside and overall brings suicidal thoughts. I was taking about 400-600 mgs a day in pills then stopped all together caffeine didn't affect me when I stopped drinking soda but with the pills it is.

    At first I was thinking maybe these confused feelings for my girl were actually real but when I leave my depressed state for a while I'm happy talking to her and hearing her voice, I didn't even notice the depression from it till I got home from her house then my boss was upset with me and I think the depression, being away from her, and my job all got the best of me, I believe it's caffeine withdrawal because when I take the caffeine pills I'm fine for the 3-4 hours it lasts.

  • why can I fix myself so easily after realizing my problem?

    Sounds strange but as soon as I find my actual problem it goes away, I started taking caffeine pills a few weeks ago I just recently stopped taking them when I was visiting my fiancée, came home 2 days ago, yesterday and today I was going crazy with depression making me think I missed her to much and all that not really relevant but anyways I thought about my pills being it but thought it was to late to be effecting me then I opened my mini-psychology book to see withdraw symptoms and saw caffeine has depression listed so now I'm better, I was also taking sleep aids but I didn't look into that.

    Anyways I was depressed then after I read that I have depression not something else I got happy and now it's fixed, this happens quite often thought I was loosing love for my girl just realized that I was feeling down because we didn't do any thing I enjoyed fixed after I found that out, list goes on and on.

    Any one else have this? Know what this is? Point me in the right direction?

  • name this movie please?

    It was about a ghost girl who was talking to another girl in her car, had the ghost girl and her friends out in an RV in the beginning researching and they discovered a bunch of bones then they marked it on a map, the killer was I believe from a inbreed family had his brother (I believe) in a little gas station. In the end of the movie the gas station was burned down and there was a new one where the killer's nephew worked and the girl that was riding with the ghost girl saw it and was taken by the good brother and he explained it but the bad brother killed them both and that's how it ended.

    Crappy summary I know.

  • What is the right field to get into?

    I'm currently doing freelancer work as a web developer, I have yet to see any jobs that wanted a degree in the field. I'm thinking about going back to collage just not sure what I should go for, I hate the thought of going for web programming and end up in this same situation only with tons of debt so I decided it was better to get input from others as to what field would be a guarantee pretty much.

  • Is love always active?

    Is love a "always on" chemical? My girl has been under a lot of stress lately and so have I really, she reads these crazy romantic stories and believes that love is suppose to feel like butterflies all the time, I really don't know I'd presume the chemicals that cause love would be like the chemicals that cause excitement or anything else and come and go. I'm hoping for a psychological answer or a older couple who have been together for a while, my relationship is only around 2 years now.

  • How can I keep my glove box cool?

    I have some things that really don't need to be heated up, in my glove box how could I go about keeping things in it cooler? I was thinking a small solar panel and a small computer fan night time will be cool anyways, but I'd probably still put a battery on it with a temperature control switch. Any better methods or views on this?

  • How do I combine two solar panels ( power output )?

    Hello, this is probably a very simple question but how would I go about merging the power from two solar panels? I know in electonics ( batteries ) they merge them by putting one positive side to one negative side, would that also be the method I take for solar panels?

  • Correct header for "from" in SMS correct answer gets $5(through paypal)?

    How do I go about changing the from header in SMS messages using php mail function or imap extension?

    Who ever provides me with the correct solution I'll pay $5 in paypal.

    I asked tech support they said I can't do it because I'm on a shared host, but if I send a message from my mail box to my phone it works correctly I tried looking at the headers in the message and nothing helped me. This isn't for any SMS spoofing purposes I want to give the users an option to be alerted by SMS message when something new pops up or something and I'd like for them to be able to just click reply and send me a email.

    Thanks,
