Russia loses control of gecko sex experiment satellite[^]
The engine of the Foton-M4 satellite, with several experiments on board, has stopped responding to ground control.
All other systems are intact, the Progress space centre stated, including "one-way" transmission of information.
[...]
The Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos, said the six tonne satellite could continue to operate on its own "for a long time".
I wonder if any of these Geckos was called Major Tom[^] 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

'Long' being a relative term... compared to the life of a fruit fly.

This[^] is probably the best cover of that song I've seen.

Perhaps Russia can claim insurance reimbursement from GEICO!
PS. For those not in the US, GEICO is an insurance company that uses a gecko in its advertisements.

I seem to remember someone wrote an article about an application launcher but can't find it.
Anyone? Thanks.

Thanks but no. My mistake. I'm looking for something like Launchy or Executor. Type in a few characters, autocomplete matches the keys and then launches the app/doc/folder/etc.

I think you mean SmartStartMenu.
Hope this helps,

There's the shell command in VBA. Have you tried this?

Nothing fits my criteria. It seems I'm gonna have to write my own. The curse of being a programmer.

Everything[^] should be usable for your purposes, but there isn't any CodeProject article on it I'm aware of. It is not strictly a launcher...

That's a good one, thanks.

Wow, you rock. Thank you, my friend.

Sir, I bow down to you. This post wins on so many levels it is unreal.
I think there should be a corollary to Godwin's law - anyone who has invoked Godwin's law against a post obviously designed to invoke Godwin's law has automatically lost the argument.
