How do I recover page from Chrome History?
On the 25th of October I visited a website which required a log in. The owner of the website then removed important information that I had there (against my permission), I have the page saved in Chrome but when I try to open I get an error because Google tries to reconnect me to the server of the website. Is there a temporary file saved on my harddisk that I can access (similar to IE)? Thanks a lot,
1 AnswerSoftware8 years agoAm I still covered by PayPal if my packs is held up in customs?
I bought an Android Tablet from a Chinese website. I paid with PayPal to be secure. But it has been stuck in customs for about a week now. I read online that PayPal will only give refunds up to 45 days. If my package is still in customs after that will I be able to get a refund from PayPal if the product is broken or missing?

What are the problems with currency speculation?
Example: If today I have 1000 euro and I buy the equivalent of dollars with it. Then tomorrow the dollar gains against the Euro and I buy back my euros and the value is 1100 euro, what should I consider apart from the 100 profit. What problems are there with this idea?

What quality of storage would the computer need, any other questions and suggestions please.
4 AnswersOther - Hardware1 decade agoShould everyone be allowed to vote?
One of the main problems in the world is that political leaders are chosen by the public. Politicians are representatives of the public. So if politicians are bad quality does that mean the it is the public's fault for voting them into office? I suggest that we limit voting rights to people with an IQ >= 100, this would mean that idiots would not be voted in to office by idiots. If you think about it the majority of problems in the world are created by dumb people making dumber decisions.
Democracy in my opinion is to important to be left up to the average Joe Sixpack. Do you agree, do you believe that only certain people should be allowed to vote. Not race, salary, class, gender but intelligence.

2 AnswersHeart Diseases1 decade agoQuestion about currency speculation.?
If I only buy and sell at very specific exchange rates, will I eliminate all risk involved in foreign exchange?
For example I have 10000 USD and I buy EUR at 1.48, then I only sell the EUR when it reaches 1.40, is this elimating all risk?
It means that the exchange may not be completed over one day or even a week but there would be no risk.

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoCould oxygen be a fuel?
Could O2 be used in a fuel cell instead of H2, for example could we use electricity to extract O2 from CO2 and store it in a fuel cell (like Hydrogen). I guess O2 wouldn't be as powerful as H2 but would it be viable?

1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoIf Hitler had never been born.?
On the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland, what would the world have been like if Hitler had never existed?
I imagine that the German Republic at the time would have become stronger and democracy would have had a chance to take hold. I think Europe would have moved closer to America. Poland perhaps would have joined Russia. Italy would not have gone to war so I think Mussolini would have turned to democracy after a number of years.
10 AnswersHistory1 decade agoCould Cosmic Rays be used to generate energy?
Correct me if I am wrong but don't cosmic rays originate from the deep space, they are high powered energy particles that can pass through dense substances but do not enter Earth's atmosphere. Would it be possible to have a collector in space to generate energy from them?

3 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoHow much data to record atoms?
I am writing a SCI-FI novel and I would like to know if it was be possible to understand how many atoms there are if you were able to count them 1 atom at a time through specific section of the earth (including the atmosphere)
What I mean is if you were able to bore a hole (the size of an atom) in the Earth from one pole to the other how many atoms where there be. Is there a formula to work this out?
I would then like to calculate the amount of computer data required to store the position and type of each atom encountered.
I know this is probably the weirdest question ever on Yahoo Answers.
1 AnswerOther - Science1 decade agoCould capillary action drive a turbine?
If you had a water container, and inserted thousands of narrow capillary tubes (the water rises through the tubes by capillary action), then if you had an outlet for the water to drain from the top, down a slope and back into the contain.
However if you had a small turbine on the direction of the flow would it be possible to drive this turbine and have an infinite power source?
It wouldn't have to be big. I just have a doubt that the water would rise enough to come out of the capillary tubes. Any ideas?
