From the Story:
BUHL, Idaho - Two bomb squads in south-central Idaho had to be called in after 47 bazooka rounds were found in an old tent trailer.
The Times-News reports that a family in Buhl discovered the 62-year-old shells while cleaning on Tuesday.
Twin Falls County Sheriff's office spokesNon-DescriptIdentifier Lori Stewart says it's not unusual for deputies to respond to calls of abandoned weapons in Buhl. The rural region is divided among multi-generational families on large farms, making it difficult to keep track of what's been stored for long periods of time.
 REALLY?!

I loved those clicky keyboards...you can still get clones of the IBM Model 'M' with the buckling spring mechanism...I might splurge some day but noise is a factor here...I'm often typing into the night and there's no way to type quietly on those

I prefer the quiet IBM keyboards. Mine is from 1997.

Aahhh yes, I remember it well. And IBM thought the money lies in producing hardware, so they just gave all the rights to the operating system to Bill Gates! Brilliant strategic decision!

Wow what a coincidence - I think today is actually also the 250,000 year birthday of lines drawn in sand by sticks! Computing hasn't really come that far has it...

I don't see the problem. Everyone should have a few bazooka rounds handy.. you know, for home defense.

Candidly, I do affirmatively concur on that point.

It is a pity people still record videos in portrait orientation, but I think the recorder had other things in mind.
Impressive blast. The second effect will be when they will learn about what cool chemical stuff has been spread everywhere in the area and will impact several generation of people.
And, on a french side, I can't but shed a tear for all these Renaults.

I have using a nifty app called Default Programs Editor to set up file & icon associations, including the command for the menu commands. I did this with Windows 10 as well. However, it seems that when Windows 10 updates, it trashes all these associations, thereby forcing me to redo everything.  I don't mind doing this once, but it's a PITA to keep doing it!
What I would like to get is some freeware app that allows me to save a set of association commands so that when Windows 10 updates again, I can simply rerun the app to get everything redone properly.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know, I'm afraid. But I do know what I would do if I were in your shoes (hopefully not too smelly?) and I had an application I had used for a long time and liked:
Contact the support of that program, tell them about my problems and ask when they estimate they can have a Win10 certified version of their brilliant product ready...
I have actually done so on several occasions and almost without exception, I have found people to be very nice and helpful. Most programmers want to do good job and have people like their software. And most companies are keen on helping old customers to keep them in the fold.
I think I could live with annoying file associations for a while... There are certainly more serious problems in the world.
Just my 5 cents. Good luck!

"Default Programs Editor" is part of Windows, IIRC

You're saying that there can't be any third party tools with the same name?
I've never seen Windows edit more than one association at a time...
Anyway, if it IS indeed the built in application he's talking about, then clearly it's a bug (more on the update code than the association code presumably) and should as such be reported to the proper authorities...

Ah, yeah, you could be right .. "I've been using a nifty app..."

Well W10 is your chance to do so then. The default apps are set for a range of file types (eg. video, photos).
