How dumb is that!

How to browse the internet or download a browser,

with NO browser preinstalled on your system?
How dumb is that?

Author's comment:

This post is for the EU's decision to "prohibit" Microsoft's internet explorer being preinstalled on a windows system. I will not bother you with all the law/legal-related issues, but with a simple question.

How would the simple, amateur windows user be able to connect on the internet or download his favourite browser (or other internet-related stuff), if there is NO other browser installed on his windows PC system?

Simple answer: He can't! As an advanced pc user, i would know what to do in this situation but not the amateur user (the majority).

I know that EU's decision does not actually ban/prohibit the presence of a browser on a system, but the obligatory preinstallation of it.

So Microsoft will have to make/add a "browser selection" option with some of the most known and wide-sprad browsers for the user to choose and install from... !!!

So, you'll tell me, what's the issue then...everythin'g OK, problem solved and there is no point on your post!!!

Yep, problem solved for the final product, but this is just for the initial idea, rumors and buzz through the internet and forums of how dumb such an idea/selection would finally be.

How dumb is to RAR the WinRAR application?

Author's comment:

Opening my new topic-series "How dumb is that!", i ask the question, how dumb is, to RAR the WinRAR application.
Surfing the internets for years now i have seen this really dumb (in my opinion) method, of many RARing the WinRAR application when the logic thing to do, is ZIPping it.

Through many sites and forums when people trying to share this application, do this "fatal" (you know i'm joking, right?) mistake and that way starting infinite rants, trolling and flaming wars (by the way, i really like these "wars", i enjoy reading the related comments).

For everyones information.I use windows like million others.Windows as a DEFAULT method have the ability to un-ZIP files and NOT un-RAR, in simple logic meaning that if you want to use the WinRAR application, you either leave it in the original EXE form or for the love of god, ZIP it.
I would know how to deal with this, as i'm an advanced tech/computer user, but what about the innocent and naive "little ones" (hahaha, lol!).

How could you un-RAR the file that is needed for the un-RARing process?

Solutions:

Don't RAR the WinRAR application.
ZIP the WinRAR application.
Leave the WinRAR application in the original EXE form.

TIP: If nontheles you still want to RAR the app (just because... fuck, you're an idiot and this to post has gone in vain), confirm that everyone using the WinRAR app has already pre-installed it (the only logic i can see here, is doing this for the only reason of upgrading the already pre-installed application and nothing more).

GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR INFINITE STUPID SOUL.

Witness: "No, sir. I was shot midway between the fracas and the naval."

Lawyer: "Officer, what led you to believe the defendant was under the influence?"
Witness: "Because he was argumentary, and he couldn't pronunciate his words."
