I can see maybe the most novice users having problems, but if there's two things most users know how to do (which has more often than not lead them to trouble) its search the web and download and install executables.
This isn't Linux.
This is Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft Windows are not supposed to have to browse the web and download third party tools the first day just to make the desktop be halfway usable.
Functions in a similar way: press the windows key and you'll see all your pinned apps for quick and easy access as well as be able to just type the name of any given app you may want.
Or I can just continue running Windows 7.
I don't have a "Windows key", you insensitive drone.
Wouldn't you be angry if you had people with dreams of living in the center of the Earth despite constant reminders that the center of the Earth is a deadly area and impossible to attain with any combination of known technologies, and the only answers you ever get are appeals to emotion and "but on Star Trek"-type arguments?
A week later, the attorney general signed the changes into effect.
Eric Holder should dragged out and be hung from the highest tree in Washington D.C., as a traitor to Liberty, the U.S. Constitution, and the People of this country. This guy is a real piece of work.
I'd like to leave, but I can't find any "delete my account" button. I'm pissed cause some asshole purposely modded every single post of mine down for weeks, and destroyed my karma to where I can only make two posts a day and they start at -1. I emailed the admin expressing my extreme displeasure with the situation, and he basically told me tough shit, sorry, deleted the guy but otherwise cant do shit for ya.
So you know what...let me just reiterate the GP's statement: FUCK THIS SITE, it's absolute shit these days. I hope the admin loses all his most important data in a Seagate hard drive crash.
Creating an installer for a complex system... a couple man-years of labor from your highest paid employees for a system that only gets installed a dozen times a year.. vs. a checklist... Yeah, you'll be making millions with your strategy.
the goddamn software costs $100k. if you cant make an installer for it, then starve. i won't be buying your shit.
The idea that MY software, which handles transactions from generally 1000's of clients and integrates with easily on average 4-5 other complex software stacks is 'lacking an installer' because you don't install it clicky--click is hilarious.
thats because your software is shit.
"everyone else does it this way" is nothing more than a lame excuse.
if you can't simplify things down to the point where the software can be installed using one or multiple installshield packages, then i have absolutely no confidence in you as a software developer, and your software is useless to me. my enterprise will never purchase your software. i would rather write my own than deal with a bunch of morons.
Which of course explains your complete lack of perspective on this subject. Hispanic peoples (Catholics etc) are well known for their cultural hatred of drugs of all kinds. You've literally known nothing other than this ignorance your entire life, so it must completely mystify you why people smoke pot. To people who are cultured and informed and know a little bit more about the world other than their tiny little piece of it, statements such as "why do you wanna escape from your problems LOL" tend to label someone as being extremely ignorant.
For God's sake man, your own country is one of the largest marijuana producers in the world; it would not be difficult or expensive for you to get a bag of herb to smoke and figure out for yourself why people like to smoke it. It will probably totally shock and amaze you to discover that it's fun and all, but not that big of a deal really. It's just a way to pass the time. It also genuinely makes one smarter by giving one a broader perspective on life and helping creative thought. Some of those Mexican herbs are among the finest marijuana in the world, very psychoactive and "trippy", and smoking it can be a life changing (in a positive way) experience. Other herbs may be more sedative and are especially great for those with insomnia, or relaxing and pain relieving for those with medical problems. The plant is not at all harmful in any way. Give it a try, and educate yourself.
False. The vast majority of millionaires in America are first generation wealth. "Economic disadvantage" doesn't mean anything to those who are strong. You either get it done or you don't. I grew up in a single wide trailer in Alabama. Unless something goes horribly wrong I will be a millionaire within 5 years, and a billionaire before I die. It all comes down to willpower.
Sounds like a good life's lesson before they'll face real consequences for their actions
Yeah, that sounds just like something a fucking snitch would say. I hope one day you snitch on the wrong person and face the real consequences of your actions.

Not everyone. The policy before in California, and now in Washington and Colorado is to go after producers and dealers, but not users.
Cultivate your own pot plants (up to 6) and nobody is at risk of prosecution.
I'm sorry, were you trying to make a point?

and your post did what exactly?
Then leave and demand your money back.

No, but a government framing you for the murder and then trying to arrest you for it sure is.
How about blaming corruption?
Regulations are inherently corrupt.
the Washington Post is a propaganda outlet anyway. They are doing us all a favor
I agree. He showed himself to be an exceptionally well informed person.
Microsoft is horrible at branding.
I use Egyptian hieroglyphics, you insensitive clod
lol my Mustang SVO would fucking destroy that tin piece of shit.
Go shill your jap crap elsewhere
How does it feel to be a moron?
That's what the high walls and automated machine gun turrets are for.
Adds to the property value too.
If you're not sure, then that makes you the dumbest poster on slashdot today.
Congrats, I guess.

OK fine, lets just allow people to drive under the influence of whatever they like and as much as they like.
Agreed.

People need to learn that the internet is NOT a safe place to say anything you wish
That sounds exactly like something a fascist would say. You've been trained well by your masters, sheep.
