Quite cool, if I do say so myself.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Two legends in a very successful collaboration! 
However, when you said "wake you up" I couldn't help but think of this song[^] (it's the refrain)

 I just heard '10 inch record' the other day!...great tune and great album!
I have to say that I really hated this collaboration with Run DMC. Why take a perfectly good song and ruin it? But what do I know, they made lots of money with that version. I really need to get some Aerosmith in my collection.

I'm a fan from AS since about 40 years, especially also because of their phantastic drummer.

In my opinion it is a welcome fresh up. But that is very personal opinion. I hope you still stay with AS

Every time I log on to Win10 in the morning, this message is displayed in a small text box with the title of "Live Update". It also shows a small yellow triangle with an ! mark in it. There is also an "OK" button shown. I click the button and that's it for the rest of the session.
Anybody know what it means?

Without having your machine how could we have any idea?
Try starting task manager - processes tab to see whats running when the warning box is open,
(let it settle as during startup a few thing start/stop for th first minute or so)
and then what goes away when you click OK.
Sin tack
the any key okay

It means that the platform does not support this application.
It's probably a driver / bloatware problem: you have something installed that is trying to talk to your hardware (most likely your GPU) and it's not the model it expects.
Changed anything soon before it started?

I'm going through this as well. I just updated to a reimaged Win10 using apps that run on an existing D: drive from Vista. I think it means that Win10 does not yet have the C runtime libraries installed on the system disk.
I'll know better in a day or two...
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

To use a car on the road in the UK, you must have:
0) A valid licence to drive.
1) A valid MOT (if your vehicle is over three years old). This is renewed annually and is issued after fairly through safety testing.
2) Insurance. 3rd party minimum, but it's hard to find less than Fully Comprehensive these days.
3) Road Tax: this is only issued when you are insured and MOTed.
The last one is interesting (honest) - it's on a specific vehicle, but also a specific owner: if you sell the car, it doesn't transfer to the new owner, and you get a refund of unused complete months (less a handling charge judging by the amount I got back). The new owner must tax the vehicle (for the beginning of the current month) before he can use it on the road. (So the thieves at the DVLA get paid twice for the same month each time a vehicle is sold.)
When you buy a car, you are given a small portion the the existing "log book" - the V5C/3 in DVLA speak - which contains a document reference number that you need to tax it. That's simple: phone them and an automated system wants the 12 digit reference number. Except the V5C/3 I got only has an 11 digit number and the phone system won't take it. OK. Try the internet. No dice, it wants 12 digits as well.
So I assume it's an older style document, and they haven't figured it out yet. Trip to teh post office, barcode scanner, pay the money, done.
Only ... the new V5C with my details on it arrived to today. And you wanna guess how many digits it's reference number has? Yep, 11 ...
Bear in mind that both systems are run by the same department, for the same big building in Swansea, not far from here. That both are completely automated: people don't get involved in the tax or V5C issuing side. And the systems designed by this department to work with the documents issued by this department don't work together because some idiot in the software department can't count ...

This convoluted procedure will not work here in the USA (specifically Florida). Dealers are totally geared to expedite the separation of you from your money. You will hear them howl if the government impedes the selling of cars in any way!

Loudest among them the tax collectors wailing that you're screwing with their ability to skim sales tax off a very large purchase. 
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?

Two questions:
0) What does MOT stand for?
1) Can you avoid the gov't getting paid twice if you sell the car on the last day of the month, and the new owner doesn't drive it until the next day?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

0) Ministry Of Transport - the "ministry" became a "department" years ago, but the test name has stuck even with the government.
1) In theory yes - but you know what governments are like: if you don't declare SORN (Statutory Off Road Notice) when you buy it they'll probably hit you for the month anyway.
