Dave, I’ve been happily using Paypal as a merchant account and shopping system for years now, and would like to turn on a few of my colleagues to this fast and simple system. If possible, I’d like to get some sort of commission or referral bonus. Does Paypal offer such a thing?
Dave, I use a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse with a computer
running Windows XP Professional. Generally speaking, everything works just fine EXCEPT THAT from time to time my mouse pointer “leaps” to the bottom
left corner of my monitor screen .. and invariably JUST as I am about to
“click!!” I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing, but to no avail. Do you
know how this little dilemma can be cured??
Dave, this is a bit off the beaten track for your technical Q&A, but I’m confused by everything I’ve read and can’t figure out who came up with communism, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin or Leon Trotsky? I hear all their names bandied about, but thought maybe you’d be able to shed some light on this topic.
Dave, I need to conduct a number of searches through more than 2500 text files. Each search is for a different specific text string. The text files are on my Mac hard drive (Mac OS X 10.3.7) and are arranged into folders within folders within folders. I want the result in a new text file. I think I should be able to do this using some sort of grep or script but cannot figure out how to do it. Please help.
Dave, I’m preparing a proposal for a book about a promising new
Open Source technology, and would like to get suggestions for a suitable publisher. How do you identify a possible publisher for a new book, and then how do you approach them with an actual book project?
Dave, I’m confused. I’m trying to make a music CD with my Mac, but when I just transfer the songs from iTunes onto a disk they don’t work in my car or regular cd player. Someone told me that I need to convert them in order for it to work. They gave me the site musicmatch.com but it is for PC and I’m on a Mac.
Dave, I just want to add numbers together, get an answer, and retrieve a document represented by the answer. I have 11 pages for people to answer “yes” or “no” on. I have my “yes” and “no” buttons working properly. What I need to do is assign numerical values to each button on each page. Then I need to add the values of all 11 pages of each button pushed to get one answer. I want to use this answer to retrieve one document to be displayed for the viewer. Maybe you know of some tricks that can be used in HTML to do this. I was thinking if I can’t do it in HTML, maybe javascript might be an answer.
Dave, how do I move my pictures from my new digital camera to my hard drive to make a copy of them on a CD-R? My OS is Windows XP home.
