140 characters exactly. Count them again.
And what's with putting [sic] after "He"? Twitter updates are required to be grammatically correct now, including spaces where grammatically necessary?
Whoops, intended to say, picked MO because that's relevant to me, but I imagine most states would have something sufficiently ambiguous about the display of license plates that could be interpreted to make it illegal.
In the Missouri Revised Statutes it states that the plates "shall be aesthetically attractive" and "Each such plate shall be securely fastened to the motor vehicle or trailer in a manner so that all parts thereof shall be plainly visible and reasonably clean so that the reflective qualities thereof are not impaired". Section 301.130
But we all know that you'd probably just get nailed for some statute related to interfering with the police's ability to collect evidence and/or perform their duties.
Wouldn't know. I don't use the Adobe PDF plugin, it's nothing but a virus infection vector anyway. If I download a PDF - if I intended to download a PDF - I might open it in Adobe Reader proper.
There's actually a nice way to make your own menu in Win7 (which MS 'borrowed' from OSX - see my reply below).
Nah, that's just a toolbar and they've been around since Windows 95. The Quick Launch is just one such toolbar; you can make any folder into a toolbar. You can change the styles (icon size, whether or not there are labels), change the size of the bar (if it's too small to show its contents, it turns into a pop-out menu), or detach it from the Task Bar and make it its own floating window or dock it to create a new bar independent of the Task Bar, with options to auto-hide and/or always be on top.
The red light camera was BS anyway. The first picture showed me behind the line with my brake lights ON. The second one, two seconds later, showed me starting to make a right turn.
Um, brake lights on != a complete stop.
Anyway, all the red-light cameras I'm aware of will also record a video. There's a website you can go to, punch in the code on your ticket, and watch your vehicle very clearly not coming to a stop before turning, complete with burned-in timestamp. The only thing they're missing is the photo that proves you were driving it. And some of them have a second camera set up to get that photo.
To get information, obviously. Maybe you want to know the current temperature at the Guam International Airport, updated in your status bar automatically? Here it is. The add-on just scrapes that page.
An exe is not just arbitrary code. It has a header which contains information about the executable and it can contain entirely different sections for execution under Windows/DOS. A DOS executable header begins with the characters "MZ". Windows executables are denoted by "PE". Most Windows applications will have a DOS MZ executable stub at the beginning, before the PE section, to display "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." and exit.
ScriptScan is an extension. Extensions and plugins are not the same thing.
Plugins only run when content in a page requires the plugin to be loaded. Extensions can run whenever they want.
A bad plugin can be killed by ending the process plugin-container.exe. A bad extension cannot, and can cause your entire browser interface to hang up, which should trigger Firefox's warning about a script that seems to be taking a long time.
And to get the Quick Launch toolbar back, right-click the taskbar, make sure it's not locked, then Toolbars->New Toolbar. The Quick Launch folder is "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch".
The Quick Launch is a toolbar docked in the Task Bar with no title, small icons, and no icon text, which displays the contents of the folder "%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch".
Win7 doesn't include it by default, but you can add it.
Nobody has seen fit to re-introduce the Classic MacOS tab folders. I am disappoint.
You mean like the Quick Launch?
It's a toolbar. You can add more of them. Right click, Toolbars, New Toolbar. You can still do it in Windows 7. Here's instructions on how to put the Quick Launch toolbar back onto the Win7 task bar.
Here, lest you look like an idiot again in the future.
Kinect is based on software technology developed internally by Rare, a subsidiary of Microsoft Game Studios owned by Microsoft, and on range camera technology by Israeli developer PrimeSense, which interprets 3D scene information from a continuously-projected infrared structured light.[26][27] This 3D scanner system called Light Coding[28] employs a variant of image-based 3D reconstruction.

Your mom will never do that. How often do you shut down your cell phone?
I bet calculators that only have an "On" button just drive you up the wall too...

If you want to restore your windows you can use Win+M. Win+Shift+M will restore them.

I wonder how they'd catch you...
Probably the first cop you passed who wondered why the dashcam just went blind.
Wonder how much they spent on that system instead of just raising the gas tax a few tenths of a cent?
Well, usually you start by ending the one that's using 50% of the CPU time on your dual-core machine.
You actually use the apps?
Not very many.

Now, if you were talking about a DOS .com compact executable, yes. Nothing but pure arbitrary code.

A few more domain exceptions on my home FF installation to permit certain Facebook Apps to work correctly.
I have show desktop (also sadly missing on wife's computer?)
Open notepad, paste:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Save as "Show Desktop.scf".
WinKey+D is easier though.

in order to manually launch an app i have to remember WHICH folder it's installed in
That is why the PATH environment variable was invented. WinKey+Pause, Advanced, Environment Variables.
Or, you know, you could use a toolbar.

Colt .45.
Bonus points if you hack up a battery-powered power supply to spin up the drive before you use it for target practice.
Frank's is a cayenne pepper sauce. The main thing differentiating it from most other cayenne pepper sauces is probably that Frank's has garlic.
The 600k figure is probably for the peppers they use, not the chips themselves.
