  • Was my email hacked by someone or an error with Yahoo?

    I logged onto my PSN account today and found a message from a friend of mine saying he has received spam messages from my Yahoo account and he thought I was hacked. I haven't logged into my Yahoo email for quite a few days so was very nervous when I read that. Well I logged in today and saw about 20 failed messages directed to him for some reason. Here is some of what is in the messages

    Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

    They are all this exact same message but have a different username in the Remote host section. I'm not the brightest person when it comes to things like this so any help would be appreciated. I really hope I was not hacked or anything.

  • Is anyone registered to a game site like Nintendo and have ever received an email saying that they?

    registered or purchased a game when they didn't? I emailed them back because I'm curious about why I was sent this email. I didn't register or use a credit card or anything on their site so I doubt someone could have hacked anything to make a purchase but I am a little uneasy about this. Hopefully it's just a glitch in the system or something.

  • How do I stop Firefox from logging me out of a website when I close the browser?

    It used to keep me logged in and I liked that but now for some reason it has begun logging me out. I never confirmed anything about logging out so I don't know what's going on. I went through the options but can't seem to find where I can fix this. Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it =)

  • I have a very small question about the movie District 9 *SPOILER*?

    *SPOILER*

    Okay what did Christopher say was the reason that he couldn't take the oil that they had found and he gave it to his friend? I know he gave him a reason but I forgot what he said. Was it because it was too dangerous to have because of his son? I was just wondering why he gave it to the friend in the first place to hide seeing as it was so precious and the command module was located under his shack and he seemed to be the one who knew what to do.

  • How come I keep receiving the same Best Answer email?

    I logged into my email and there were about 12 emails that said the whole "your answer has been chosen as best answer" and I'm not going to lie I was kind of excited. I clicked on one of them and read the question clicked on another email and it was the same answer. I clicked on the third one and what do you know it was the same question!! Now this was the other day. I logged in today and the same thing happened. There were about 10 emails telling me I was picked for the 1 question. Is there a way to stop these emails?

    It's about a group of people that have special abilities like telekinesis and mind reading and stuff like that. And I think the government is trying to capture them.

  • Does anyone know the name of this music video?

    It took place at a restaurant I believe and a couple are sitting at a table. The guy then proceeds to slice open his chest and he pulls his heart out. I saw a clip of this and didn't get the chance to get the name of the song.

  • How do you tell someone you weren't laughing at them when you think they were offended?

    Okay you know how sometimes when a person gets nervous and are put into a position they don't want to be in they start to laugh? Or when you are caught off guard? Well there was this guy that came into my job and he asked me a question and I was caught off guard by it and I started laughing nervously. I think he thought that I was laughing at him and I am afraid I hurt his feelings. He comes into the store now and then and he came back the other day and he avoided me. I mean he walked all the around the other day to use the exit. I know this because he was looking to see where I was so he could leave. I want to apologize but at the same time he is the one that made me uncomfortable in the first place.

  • Is it rude to not answer the door for strangers?

    If you are home alone? When I am home by myself I don't answer the door for anyone unless it's a UPS delivery guy or something. But I feel bad sometimes if the person is persistent and keeps on knocking. Do you answer the door for strangers?

  • Does anyone know what horror movie this scene is from?

    It was a while ago and I was watching one of those countdown shows and it was about horror films. But anyway the scene takes place in a diner and the owner I believe has a shotgun and tries to shoot a guy that has killed all the patrons in the diner. I think he was a demon or something. The guy is covered in blood and laughing. I think he is kicking glasses at the owner while he is trying to load the shotgun. I am sorry if that's confusing lol. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. =) This scene just popped back into my head for some reason now it's bugging me.

The woman then tries to escape but is being pulled up by the rope. This just popped into my head out of nowhere for some reason and I can't figure out what movie it's from if it's even from a movie. Can anyone help me? Thanks alot! =)

  • If I have a protection plan for a company that is going out of business is it still good? And if they no ?

    longer sell the product does that have an effect on my plan? I purchased something from Circuit City last year and also brought the 2 year protection plan. Now apparently they are going out of business and are closing many of their stores. My question is will my plan still be good? I was just thinking about this and it's 4 am here so I can't call the store closest to me lol. Also the product I purchased is no longer sold through them. Will this have an effect as well? If it matters its an MP3 player that I am talking about. It's been good so far but you never know what might happen.

  • What's a polite way to tell someone you're not interested in them? And would you be mad if someone gave you ?

    a wrong phone number? Okay before you answer first know that I in no way think that I am hot **** or too hot to trot or anything like that. Not at all.

    I was at work earlier this evening and taking my break and this guy comes over. He asked me how I was doing and I replied, it was just friendly conversation. The conversation turned to school and was I in college etc. After a moment of silence he says something along the lines of "I would really like to see you again". Huh? Then he made a comment that he had been to the store I worked in a couple of times before and I was always busy. Okay that was when I got uncomfortable. He asked about school again then he wanted to get my phone number. I said "I don't know about that" and then he didn't ask again immediately. My break was over and I went back to my station but he still stayed around. Figuring he wasn't going to leave until I said something I asked if we could exchange emails instead. I got this story about how he didn't have a computer and whatnot. I didn't know what to say or do so I gave him my mother's cell phone number instead of my own. What should I have done or said differently? I'm not confrontational and don't know this man from a can of paint so I didn't know if he would go off or what. If he comes in the store again I would like to know what I can say to him. That is if he doesn't cuss me out or something. I ****** up didn't I?

  • Does anyone own Fable 2? If so has it messed up your Xbox?

    Hi! I was or am a fan of the first Fable but I have been reading some reviews online about how either the game would freeze and automatically save itself, or that the Xbox would just crash. We just got the rings of death so I don't want that to happen again. But I would really like to purchase this game. =)
