Depends on the platform. In FF the big difference is that plugins are blobs of 3rd party binary code running over a standard API (used by every modern browser not named IE) and are segregated in a different process so that when Flash crashes it doesn't take your browser down with it. Extensions OTOH live in the FF process itself and come in two flavors: One has direct access to all of FF's internal APIs, AFAIK needs to be written in C++, require a restart to turn on/off as a result, and despite Mozilla's efforts to maintain back compatibility are most likely to break on version updates. (These are the kind that have historically let 3rd parties do stuff in FF that couldn't be done anywhere else.) The second kind are written in javascript/html, and can only talk to the browser over a stable API; allowing them to be started/stopped independently of the browser and making them much less prone to breaking with new browser versions. OTOH they can only do things that Mozilla has explicitly given them permission to do.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It'll be interesting to see the detailed pics when they start to come back from Rosetta now it's "in orbit"[^] - I wish the media would work out what an orbit actually involves...

You just reminded me that when I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago I went out the back of the villa, seen a red blob in the sky, suspected it was Jupiter, got out google star maps or whatever it was called and pointed up in the sky which confirmed it was Jupiter. First time I had seen it. The kids, particularly the youngest (she is going through a bit of a space phase) were well hyped by it. Just a shame we didn't have her telescope!

A blond man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts: "Did you find the shampoo?"
He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine."
----------------------------
A blond man goes to the vet with his goldfish.
"I think it's got epilepsy," he tells the vet.
The vet takes a look and says, "It seems calm enough to me."
The blond man says, "Wait, I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet."
------------------------------------
A blond man spies a letter lying on his doormat.
It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND ".
He spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up.
----------------------------------
A blond man shouts frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor.
"No!" he shouts, "this is her husband!"
-----------------------------------
A blond man was driving home, drunk as a skunk. Suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another.
A cop car pulls him over, so he tells the cop about all the trees in the road.
The cop says, "That's your air freshener swinging about!"
----------------------------------
A blond man's dog goes missing and he is frantic. His wife says "Why don't you put an ad in the paper?"
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing.
"What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.
"Here boy!" he replies.
------------------------------------
A blond man is in jail. The guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet.
"Just WHAT are you doing?" he asks.
"Hanging myself," the blonde replies.
"The rope should be around your neck" says the guard.
"I tried that," he replies, "but then I couldn't breathe."
-----------------------------------
(This one actually makes sense.)
An Italian tourist asks a blond man: "Why do scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?"
To which the blond man replies: "If they fell forward, they'd still be in the boat."
-------------------------------------
A friend told the blond man: "Christmas is on a Friday this year."
The blond man then said, "Let's hope it's not the 13th."
-------------------------------
Two blond men find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station.
One asked: "What if one explodes before we get there?"
The other says: "We'll lie and say we only found two."
------------------------------------
A woman phoned her blond neighbor man and said: "Close your curtains the next time you & your wife are having sex. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday."
To which the blond man replied: "Well the joke's on all of you because I wasn't even home yesterday."

That's easy. Use the left foot to nudge it on top of your right foot. Then lift your right foot up enough that you can grab it.

Requires using too many muscles. 
Besides my method has the bonus of triggering "did I just see you do what I think I did" reactions from the occasional sheeple.

More work if you're not wearing sandals; and probably more limited in what you can get up. ex anything more than about an inch thick and lacking a handle.

Didn't you read DO NOT BEND? It applies to knees too

Then it's your own fault for not mastering telekinesis... Or does bending the space/time continuum count too?
