Even on Yahoo's own Flickr link, the message comes up saying DNS server can't find the address. I tried every Flickr link I could find with Google and Yahoo search engines and via Yahoo home page but no links work! Does anyone know anything about this, please?

Saw Beyonce and Jay-Z on the news, in Cuba. I thought only repressive regimes put restrictions on where their citizens can travel in the world, not supposed democracies. Cuba is a lovely country to visit!

Some major banks went broke and were bailed out by the government/taxpayer. Since I'm penalised and charged interest when I'm overdrawn or lend from them, I wonder what interest they've paid and if the initial amount has been given back. They are paying out huge bonuses but, in 99% of other jobs, an employee would have been fired for messing up this badly, not given a bonus. Yet the CEO of my bank, Lloyds, is to get a £1,000,000 bonus after having to get a £40 billion bail-out because of the incompetence of his bank

Have these people no sense of balance?

How does one get rid of the thing that is causing all Ares songs to be shown as being from album 'The Bests'? and occasionally prevent the real songs from downloading? Who are they? What are they? Are Ares responsible for it/them and, if so, why are they doing this?

I want to watch the whole process so would like to know at what time it starts and finishes and if there's an optimum time (ie, the midpoint). Also, is it visible all over the UK (clouds permitting in a UK winter sky, of course!)?

I want to speak to someone in Orange but the only number is 150, which takes me to people in Manila! They have a registereed office but it appears to have no phone number. How can I contact the CEO? Same with email, as there's no address I can find - even on Orange's homepage, in the 'contact us' section.

I understand the basic history of ARPANET and the why of it being invented but, after that, universities seemed to join it (somehow) and then everyone else on the planet. How?

I mean could, say, the USA turn off the whole internet? Or anyone else? Is it possible to shut off internet access to the whole planet? I ask as I don't understand who controls the internet.

I ask because their CEO says that the rig was not owned by BP, the workers were not theirs and neither is the equipment. If this is true - and I tend not to believe multinational corporations when they deny they are to blame - then who does own it, employ the workers, keep up safety standards, etc?

The Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle says she is...is it just a running joke of his or is she really a she?

Why is it being decommisioned? Do they need a few billion more dollars for the 'next stage' in Afghanistan and are trying to save cash? Why build it just to leave it floating there doing nothing?

I know lots of you THINK you know what happens when you die but how do you REALLY know, apart from a belief in an unprovable creed in your religion that states what occurs?

We have chickens at my hotel and they range freely around the grounds. Is it legal to use their eggs as part of a customer's breakfast, which has been paid for? What about if we don't find an egg for a few days...can we use it? Do we have to date stamp the eggs or can we do what we do now, which is put them in an egg-box and put a date on that? Know any sites that can give free advice about this?

I think that, if they want to attack and hurt each other, then we should encourage it by letting them fight before the match, on the pitch. Preferably with chainsaws. And a big money prize for the last man standing. It would generate huge amounts of income for the club if presented as pre-match entertainment. Tickets and viewing rights would sell for millions. What do you think?

Apart from some simple sackcloth clothes, you can take nothing else back with you. How do you prove you're from a technologically advanced culture?

you go back to 1009CE, a thousand years ago. You can carry nothing with your except your naked body so how do you prove that you are from a culture that is 1,000 years in the future? What would you build or make? How would you prove you're from a future society?

I am asking this question because my previous question ("What is it all about?") was removed by Yahoo due to it "not being a question". I appealed on the grounds that it clearly was a question, albeit one open to interpretation of the word "it"...but that was the idea, to find out what different "its" people considered to be important! Hopefully, they will allow this one...and I will get some understanding of the many "its" that some out there believe in - and why.

If so, does it have any meaning? Is this normal, even if only occurring once in a long while?
