SlickRun - Universal Command Line for Windows

This is an interesting twist--possibly brilliant, free utility for Windows that gives you a floating command line on your desktop. The utility then allows you to create "command aliases" to quickly launch programs; e.g. 'MAIL' can automatically launch Outlook. You can also enter a Web URL into SlickRun and it automatically launches your Web browser. I haven't tried it yet, but I will!

Plane overruns runway and crashes into bay

Pretty amazing video. This idiot tries to land his executive jet on a runway in Atlantic City that is too short for jets in the first place. Then he lands it 2/3 down the runway, with a 10 knot tailwind....it goes into the bay, everyone gets out OK, and then things get really weird. Be sure to keep watching!
