Why does Yahoo Spades keep closing?
I can log into yahoo fine, and I can get to the spades rooms.
When I click on a given room it loads the new window with the captcha. Now, once I enter the captcha the entire browser shuts down. I've tried it with chrome, firefox, and ie. It's always the same. It just crashes the browser.
Any advice?
1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Products8 years agohow would you use smoked oxtails?
My market had smoked oxtails on sale for pretty cheap so I bought around 1.5 lbs. They're not the meaty parts closer to the rump, but the more bony tail pieces.
I've used regular oxtails to make stock, curry, and soup before, but have never used this smoked kind.
I figure there is still enough there to make some awesome stocks and soups, but I have never used it before. Have you used it, and if so what for?
2 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoInformation on steelhead trout?
I'm pretty comfortable cooking fish, but I have never done anything with steelhead. I plan to cook it like I would salmon, but I can find remarkably little information online about this fish culinarily.
Of course there are recipes galore to be found, but does anyone know where to find information? Meat texture, flavor, fat content, muscular characteristics, etc?
I know it sounds sort of dorky, but I like to know my ingredients.

I have tried:
floating the sidebar to the right.
adding "display: inline;" to the floated images
triple checked that all opened div tags are closed
it passes w3c validation http://validator.w3.org/
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoruby or python?
I've looked around a bit and started looking at both as a next language. Mainly for fun, but also as another tool in the box.
Looking at the two, they both seem very similar, easily read, and easily expandable with different libraries.
Ruby has Rails, and Python has django. They both seem similar, but Django seems a little more specifically driven at one type of user.
Python seems like it has one right tool for each job, but ruby's model seems more open to multiple solutions
My question is, before I go on too long, which would you choose and why?
and please correct any misconceptions i may have

Hillary Clinton was caught in an outright lie regarding her trip to Tusla, and in a few short days it seems to be all but forgotten.

Do you think it would have been swept under the rug so quickly if it was McCain or Obama saying it? Somehow i doubt that.
She also said that the policy at the time was that if an area was considered to dangerous to send the president that they would send the first lady (and presumably Chelsea as in this case). What president would approve a policy to send his wife into an area too dangerous for himself? Is this woman living in a fantasy world?
2 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agocan someone tell me why this style won't work in IE7?
div.bg{
position:fixed;
left:0;
top:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-color:blue;
}
div.s{
position:fixed;
left:-15;
top:50;
width:100;
height:80;
background-color:yellow;
}
it resizes ok, but i want it to overlap, and remain in place when i scroll other content like it does in firefox. Right now all div elements are just rendering on the page one after the other regardless of positioning. position:absolute; works, but then it won't adjust if the browser is resized, or remain fixed like it is supposed to.. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG
2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoWhy doesn't microsoft conform to web standards?
Every time I write a page, I finish it, then have to hold my breath when i go to test in IE. Inevitably it breaks horrible even though I know every part of the code goes along with the web standards. Why does Microsoft do this? Anyone else ready to just quit coding for that browser, and catering to bad code?
1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agowhy are people so opposed to intelligent design?
Here's the thing. science describes evolution. Intelligent design, and the Bible, describe an order of creation very similar. One is not mutually exclusive of the other.
The earth was formed and created through violent geological, atmospheric, and cosmic events. Both agree there too.
But here's where science seems to stumble. Where did all the "stuff" that makes up the universe come from? You could say big bang, but where did the catalyst for that come from? When you get down to the absolute base of it all science has no answers for the very beginnings of matter, energy, or the universe. Quite simply no one knows.
In absence of that evidence doesn't it defy the scientific principal of logic to completely discount another theory simply because it doesn't have a conclusion that matches what you want? If no answer that science has given has not discounted intelligent design, then shouldn't any good scientist keep it as a possibility until such evidence is found?

3 AnswersMovies1 decade agoDid Clinton and Obama plan this?
Really it's quite brilliant. the fighting and bickering between the two has pretty much dominated the headlines in the Democratic primaries. They hammed it up for the camera at every turn, but Hillary had Bill as her scapegoat since he was the one stirring the pot on their side. It was a beautiful strategy.
Now Hillary reigns in Bill, and shows her ability to lead (aka run her own campaign). She gets the nomination, and then "buries the hatchet" with Obama, showing how both of them are willing to put hurt feelings on the back burner for the good of our nation by running with him as VP.
Even if Obama gets the nod it will still be formidable with Obama Clinton. they drew attention long enough to ensure one would get the nomination. A great strategy.
Do you think the Republicans have what it takes to come back after being blindsided like this?

2 AnswersOther - Computers1 decade agoIf the US is a democracy, why is there no mention of it in our founding documents?
Further, why is there no mention of a vote by the people being mandatory for electing a president? Nowhere in The Constitution, it's amendments, or the Bill of Rights will you find any mention of the states being required to allow people to vote for president. You will find amendments that declare certain exclusions from any election held unconstitutional, but not one that says the states must hold an election. Only that the representatives must nominate electors.
In light of all of that, how is the US a democracy? Is that really such a bad thing?
8 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhen talking about "fixing the economy", why is it that...?
Most of the arguments from both politicians and citizens revolve around moving more money out of the private sector and into the hands of the government to redistribute in the form of services or benefits. Given that the government has never, to my knowledge, been able to do anything efficiently and under budget, this seems strange to me. How does it help to remove money from the private economy into a huge machination that is widely criticized for it's unmatched ability to waste money at every turn?
Maybe I'm crazy, but maybe letting me spend that money on goods and services in the private sector, and thereby helping provide jobs, instead of taking it away before I get the chance, couldn't be any worse. In fact, it could quite possibly work a great deal better.
11 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs it lawful/moral to steal content for blog sites?
recently I have started looking at several blogs, and i really find it appalling that so many of them, within minutes, have ripped entire stories from another site...including pictures. sometimes without even linking to them, much less giving the appropriate credit. This to me is theft. You are taking a product crafted by someone and claiming it as your own.
what do you guys think?
