    There's no official MSI version for remote installation and upgrading, nor can you install extensions remotely.

    (You can deploy a portable version that does the same thing and is a simple copy and paste but I digress. But that's not easily upgradable anyway.)

    Catcher in the Rye you meant right? That classic book? Bill Gate's favorite as well (just throwing that line out for comedy).

    Of course, it burns off in the oven

    This is a dangerous myth (Mythbusters, here's some new material) that it all burns off. Especially in an oven, where is the alcohol gonna go? Into the food!

    It's dangerous for diabetics, pregnants, and young children (studies show it inhibits brain development) mostly though. 1/4 cup of vodka is a blip to everyone else.

    Oh, and before someone rabbles "ITS THE COMMAND LINE THIS IS WHY LINUX IS NOT READY FOR THE DESKTOP RAGAGEDHDHA" there's a GUI way to do it: Right click the folder in nautilus and click Make Link, you'll get a shortcut. Delete the Pictures folder, cut and paste that link file that was made and rename it to Pictures.

    There's probably just some simple trick to interdimensional travel that we've just managed to overlook -- it probably takes two batteries, a paperclip, a rubber band and XXXXXXXX.
