  • Logitech G600 mouse - Is something wrong with my left-click?

    Here's the problem: I go to Test Buttons within the Software and when I left-click, it Shows a Down, then two Ups. If I right-click or G-Shift, it's only one of each.

    Switching profiles does nothing and I don't have a script that detects for Left-click so that's not the issue.

    As a result, I can't double-click icons or click on hyperlinks for example. It selects the item, but doesn't do anything.

    Has anyone else been able to fix this?

  • Where do scientists get dates for evolution?

    First off, I don't want to start a war.

    I'm just wondering the method of how they determine things to be "hundreds of millions of years old" and why people find that acceptable. There's no "It is 23 million years and 5 months old to be exact". Scientists just say "approximately so-and-so mil years ago... then this happened so-and-so years later" which sounds so... fake.

    It's like they assume the date is true without any secondary factual evidence to back it up and people just go along with it?

    I believe they use carbon dating, but how accurate is it? According to the Wikipedia page, section "Errors and Readability" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating#E... it states that it's not accurate past 75,000 years. If that's true, how can fossils and such be MILLIONS of years old???

  • NFC tag near phone disables pass code and away from tag enabled pass code?

    This may seem like an impossible or dumb task, but would it be possible to have some sort of near field gadget that would be detected by a Nexus 5 from up to a couple feet away? NFC tags only have a distance of 2-6cm which is really short. I could have some sort of device under my watch that emits a signal (let s say WiFi because it s easier to explain). When the phone is near this WiFi connection, it disables the lock screen because the owner is near. But when the WiFi network is gone, it will enable the lock screen. I m not sure if Tasker can disable/enable the lock, but it can trigger events if a WiFi network is available. What kind of tag can I use for this?

  • X360 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution signs me out of Xbox Live preventing achievements?

    I got this game (Director's Cut) today and I noticed about 30 mins in (I'm going for Pacifist achievement) that it just signed me out of Xbox without a warning. Has a gray gamer picture and achievements are 0, when I have 22k. Never asked to update the game and just asked for the storage location.

    What happened to DE:HR that I can't get achievements and, even more important, load saves after leaving the game! I even tried disconnecting from Live completely, but to no avail. I am quite annoyed at this!

  • Excel VBA to open PDF and check number of pages or search document?

    Is there a way to open up a PDF and print out 1 page (if there are multiple) and/or search the PDF for a certain keyword? I would like to have it relatively simple, but since it is a different brand and program, I don t have my hopes up.

    I would like to open a file based on a Excel cell, then it searches the PDF based on another cell value and prints that page.

    I feel like this would be a lot of work, which is why I am asking you guys for suggestions and snippets to make it.

  • Why won't eBay let me sell anymore?

    I've sold one item and then it said I've reached my limit of $0 and can't sell. What's the point of selling on eBay if all you can do is sell one item! I've waited three months and it still says the same thing. I have over a 10 feedback rating and my selling is 'Above Standard'. The only way to 'improve the limit' is to call them, but people say not to. What can I do?

    iCloud Restore stopped and still has "ghost" apps?

    I finally updated to iOS 8.1.2 from 7.0.2 because it was jail broken. I restored it from iCloud since Saturday to today and recently it just seemed stuck. It's not jail broken yet, I will after it is restored, though. I restarted the iTouch because it isn't doing anything and now it just stopped restoring. No warning, no nothing except the "Restoring from iCloud Backup" message is gone from the lock screen. It stopped, but there are still apps grayed out with app data and no app! This is a large backup as it fills up 32GB with over 150 apps. I dont want to spend another 4 days restoring 28GB of data! The 'Waiting...' app in the upper right of the picture is when I tapped to see if it would start the download but it didn't.

    Anyway to preserve the data without erasing it all again? Downloading from the AppStore overwrites the iCloud saved data. You can't see it, but I have angry birds that still needs to be downloaded! I've used iCloud backup since it has come out, but never had this problem.

  • How to share a printer to a laptop?

    So the desktop hosting the printer is connected through an Ethernet cable. All other desktops that have Ethernet cables can connect and use the printer (if the host is on, of course). How can I add the printer to a laptop which is not connected to the router? Can the host set up 2 connections (maybe an Ad-Hoc?). An outgoing one for wireless devices and also the Ethernet? The host is running Vista and the laptop is running 7. The other two desktops that can connect are running XP.

    Is this gmail email legit?

    So I got an email from Emily Howard from University of Georgia, it seems. I doubt it because of this: http://i59.tinypic.com/w8w86u.png. The image on this question is the document it came with. The email to contact ended in @live.in which, when entered in url as live.in, I got redirected to the Outlook site. Is this a hoax or something legit that is made with Google and Microsoft. I feel it's a scam because they wouldn't team up, but if it's true, I wouldn't want to lose $500,000 and a laptop. I won't follow the instructions until an answer is posted.

  • Do you think this is a smart computer setup?

    If you have a 32GB SSD hard drive (lowest storage space) just for the OS and a larger HDD (SSD or SATA) for applications, would boot up time be affected even though the OS is on the fast drive without anything else. It would be nice if no matter how many programs are installed, the computer can still boot up really fast as it would without any programs.

  • Good airsoft gun for me? Possibly a DMR?

    I have a Pulse R72 by Crosman (I don't find it that good). It broke while in a gun case for more than half a year. It just drops BBs and occasionaly fires them. Taking out the mag and firing the one in the chamber shoots fine, but... I wanted a new gun for a while and now I have a reason to.

    So, I don't really like going into battle. I fear the pain of getting shot sometimes, even though it's not that bad. I'd prefer to stay back and be a sniper, but with wind, even a good aim can be messed up and then you have to cock it back and try again. I would like a DMR type thats electric (I don't want gas because that gets expensive quick). I really want to get the A&K SR25K (http://www.amazon.com/SR25K-Airsoft-Value-Pack-air... (cheapest option) DMR with a grip and a pop out bipod and also a 3-9X40 scope. This totals to about $215.

    Answer: I am wondering if there is a better option for cheaper or better for a little more moneyz. My price range is under $250, even though I have $700. I'm a cheapskate so I want to pay as little as possible.

    Answer: Also, as a general question, on airsoft sites they list the range as like 100-120 ft or 200-220 ft in this case. Is that range by how far it goes on a straight shot, or how far it goes before it drops a lot? And when does it start to not hurt when hit (random, I know)?

    I have a lot more questions, but I guess this is it for now.

  • Headphones make buzzing in computer but not in iPod Touch?

    My computer (HP pavilion d1000y) has 3 jacks in the front built-in for 1: audio line in, 2: microphone, and 3: headphones. I put my coloud C19M headphones in the correct port and whenever I hear something from like 65 Hz to 110 Hz, it has an audible buzzing noise in the left ear only. When I play the same audio from my iPod, it plays fine. I tested it on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvBtQmY2B5I. It buzzes for pretty much the whole video on my computer. When I go to Sound and Audio Devices (I have XP) it shows SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [E000]... Not sure why it buzzes on some pitches.
