This is so idiotic it makes my head hurt. 

Regarding the original topic: Power requirement is negotiated when USB
devices are plugged in. If the device says "I need 750ma", but the host
can't provide that, it will reject the device. Good luck with the
powered USB hub. I'd be interested to hear whether it works or not.
