Scarlett Johansson once said "everyone says to me 'You are so short!'. I answer 'Yes. But when I stand on my IQ I am very tall.'". How smart is this pretty lady?

A friend used my PC and may have downloade porn onto it. Is there some software out there that intelligently scans image/video files for pornographic content and then recommends the file for human review/deletion?

I have applied for a fair amount of positions now and have noticed that most rejection letters are basically useless. They tell you that you didn't get the job, but not why.

When recruiters attempt to give personalised feedback, it's as if they pull random reasons out of a hat (or their nether regions). They're all plucked from the same small selection of drab boring business prose. Things like "We're sorry, but other candidates were a closer fit for our clients criteria". Why? What criteria in particular?

Why is it so hard for these people to give honest feedback?

I applied for a role as a salesperson.

No formal qualification requirements were stated for the position. The employer initially replied that other applications had more suitable qualifications and experience for the position. I enquired as to what those qualifications were. The recruiter then did a back flip and answered that this was a junior level position and that I was overqualified due to having experience above and beyond the level required.

Does this sound like age discrimination to anyone?

A friend of mine is thinking of spending $10,000 on a brand new pool. She is not interested in using the pool and is only doing this because she thinks the pool will add tremendous value to the property and command a much higher sales price when she comes to sell. What do you think?

The bible gives Christians an easy to follow moral code. How can atheists find or develop their own code which supports living a virtuous life?

Vista stores a 2Gig hibernation file on my primary partition, even though I don't use this particular feature. Should I just disable the feature and reclaim the HD space?

I bought some shoes which I thought were red, but look pink in certain light. Will other people think this makes me gay?

I have an empty entry in the windows taskbar. It is blank and unresponsive. How can I identify the process or just kill the window?

I have read that the drug is good for strong pain, but can cause many side-effects.

Do you have any figures on IT people being laid off in the UK?

Sometimes, a question only attracts ridiculous answers, but Yahoo answers automatically selects one answer as being the best answer.

Is there any way for the questioner to reject all answers?

Hi. I need 3 people to help test the usability of a government website in New Zealand.

I am employed to cold call people to do bank surveys. The surveys take about 1/2 hour to complete and the person doing the survey isn't paid anything. I'm having a very hard time getting people to do the survey, and the bank is not happy. Why won't more people do the surveys?

My friend would like to have a website built for her wedding planning company. How much does this cost? Approx. pages will be about 15. All content is static.

I noticed that their is very little talking at the gym. When it occurs, it's usually between people who already know each other.

Most of the women seem focused on their task and are listening to Ipods, which makes conversation difficult.

Someone said that eating lots of berries would work? Do you have any dietary recommendations?
