What's the difference between these two?
MsiInstallProduct and Installer.InstallProduct. From what I've read, the only difference is that the first returns an int that will dictate if the installation succeeded or not.
I am currently using DTF (WiX) to call Installer.InstallProduct. The problem...

I'm about to build a website, using either Laravel+AngularJS or a MEAN stack (other choices are not an option). The website must have a live audio/video streaming and a live chat.
Which framework would be best to build a live audio/video streaming, and at the same time have a live chat?
Are the...
@JanDvorak If it's a minor detail then yeah, I wouldn't downvote but comment instead. I don't consider that to be wrong answers, hence my confusion about what you said :)
@Stijn Well, an answer that presents a method to attain result X may be wrong in that the method does not actually produce result X but is useful in that once you've tried the method you have learned that this method is not useful to attain result X. So it can be both wrong and useful.
But this is not the kind of usefulness I'm looking for in an answer.
Why the crazy password requirements? It a Q&A site, and I have to conform to arbitrarily chosen password complexity criteria.
With a 22 random lowercase characters (entropy 119 bits), the create account page asks me to:
Just adding uppercase characters to the mix does not satisfy the requirem...
@Andy I understand that comment you quoted from that irate user that reputation can be "degrassed" (assuming a missing "s"). Which implies that reputation can also be "grassed", I guess. It puts everything in a new light.
I find that flag gets declined unless the comment is really obviously someone being abusive to another person. Like, "Shut up and die you moron." or something similar.
Comment flags follow the same pattern as spam/offensive flags on posts. Too many and it's deleted automatically, so it might be useful to share to get it handled quicker.
@Andy Yeah, I understood how you took it. I was puzzling over why an offensive flag would be declined in this case, in light of jadarnel27's comment about flags in general.
@Louis My mistake, I actually didn't notice that the comment started with "go to hell." I agree that's offensive. I got caught up in the whole "degrased" thing.
Often you have a question, you can't find the answer on stack overflow so you google (or think a bit more). Having found the answer you'd like to keep a record so you can find it again later.
Before Stack Overflow I would write a blog post so I could google for it later. Jeff and Joel I think sp...
@user314104 Answer it. But mirror it on your own blog. Love a site as much as you may, times they change. Number of my friends are getting all kinds of hits on their personal sites when they shift from talking about their opinions of the day and to "I got this error message and here was the solution"
I think writing a blog and linking it is okay, and I got in that debate with this one, to where someone went and manually pasted my answer because my blog was down that day
You're of course right that the rubber has to meet the road at some point. But there's a lot of layers to go through before you can find that place! It sounds like you have some preconceptions based on the DOS days, and that's not too relevant anymore.
There've been some good general points ma...
And okay, so my site was down, and they went to the internet archive and edited it to put the full answer in instead of a link
