Questions asked at Yahoo Answers

ISP Question — Net Zero or People PC?

Hey Guys,

My Mom would like an inexpensive ISP for retrieving e-mails. She has asked about PeoplePC and Net Zero — Anybody have any comments or information that they can give me? Or even a better solution…!

Thanks,

P.S. I wish I could give you all 10 points – but I promise to review all the answers and give the points promptly!

 

What Task/Job could you do Better than Anyone, if given the chance?

We’ve all said, “If I had the chance I could do a better job than they are, I could do it better than anyone!”

Well, now’s your chance! (Well at least to tell people about it) — What could you do better than enyone else? It doesn’t have to be a job, it can be a task, a performance, a trick, a story or novel, an invention, a joke, anything!

Think about it ! Impress the world (Or at least those of us here on Yahoo!).

-Sorry about the category, it was the best fit I could find-

Hey JPR,

I am pretty sure that I could do a comic book better than a lot of others. Either that or I would like to be the person that sits in a jury box and pulls the lever to give ’em juice! (I know, they don’t give them juice in the jury box… but please follow the analogy!)

Why do so few people use Spell Check?

I am surprised by how few people refuse to use the spell check option in Yahoo Answers. It takes just a second. I think that it is just rude! Any thoughts or ideas?

 

IS HE GUILTY? In Florida, a man was robbed of $15.00; He kills the robber, is he guilty of manslaughter?

In Court right now, A restaurant owner is held up while in his car. The robber points a gun to his head (later, a pellet gun) and demands money. The owner has $2,015 (but is able to hide $2,000) — the robber takes him inside restaurant but owner is able to lock robber out. Robber runs away. Owner calls 911, but then gets in car and tracks robber down 4 blocks away. He runs robber over and kills him.

TWO PART:

(A) Is he guilty of manslaughter?

(B) Would you do the same thing or something else?

 

The Decade – What Has Society Done Lately?

A Supreme Being has come to the Earth in an effort to destroy it. In all this Beings infinite wisdom, it has allowed us to defend our existence in this Universe. It points out the good we have done early in our history, but the Being adds, “So what have you done – lately?” Ok Defense Team…. What do I tell the Being that we have done to further good in the world during the last 10 years in an effort to save our World?

Happy Birthday James!

Today would have been his 60th birthday.  Wow.  A 60 year-old James.  Would have liked to have seen it.

I’m requesting a data dump of James’ content to share here.  Some of the quotes featured came from Yahoo Answers, so losing James’ wisdom from the past would be heartbreaking.
