Traffic Question 15:

During a period of heavy traffic, you want to mail a letter and then head in the direction of the pink arrow. How do you do it?

  1. Stop at Mailbox A, then do a U turn
  2. Stop at Mailbox A, then do a U turn
  3. Park in a spot near Mailbox A, then turn left out of the parking lot
  4. Use Mailbox A, then use the left turn lane at the intersection to do a legal U turn
  5. Turn right at the main street, turn left into the parking lot for Mailbox B, then go through the intersection in the desired direction

Moliner's Answer:

A. Use Mailbox A, then do a U turn

This may be the only option that is illegal, but it’s also the most convenient. No worries.

If you have super important business, or you just feel super important, you could do this while on the phone. It’s OK--other cars will stop for you.

Conventional Answer

Options B, C, or D would be fine.

I usually use Mailbox B, but it’s on the way to where I’m usually going. That being said, I have done option B a number of times.

Timer

The timer can count up from a time in the past or count down towards a time in the future.

The timer's appearance and the format of the time (and text) is very configurable. You can hide it's border, it's background, set the color and glow effects.

Sound Recorder

This is a simple recorder that records directly to an MP3 file. Recording can be paused and resumed.

The recording window has a compact mode and can be set to stay on top of other windows, so it can be out of the way, yet still visible.

When done recording, you can playback the recording or upload the file to an FTP site.

RocketDock with multiple bars\docks

Submitted by drew on

It seems there is plenty of interest about how to make RocketDock work with two or more docks or bars. Most answers say to use additional docking programs--one for each dock you want. Or use a commercial program that offers multiple docks. I think RocketDock is excellent except I want more than one. I finally figured out how to do it!
