I'm pretty sure my Grandmother had that vacuum cleaner! It made all kinds of weird noises!
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

No - for its time it was truly amazing. The next couple of models were good too. But after that they really went downhill!

One thing you have to understand - it really sucks if your vacuum doesn't.

Or it... doesn't????

But what... is it good for?

It has a built-in camera. You can spy on people without drawing any attention.

Ah, now, if it has a camera in its front foot...

This begs the question why would you pour water on a vacuum cleaner? 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

A guy that hangs out here wrote a windows program that blocks programs from being loaded on a Win 7 machine.
Like if a user clicks on a bad link, the program will stop the download or installation.
I need to dig it up on a computer and turn it off to install Spotify, and then turn it back on.
It's been years, and the program works really well, in fact I forgot about it.
It was like from 4 years ago. He posted it here in the Lounge
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Hi,
You should have asked this into the 'Systems Administration[^]' forum. You can do this with Group Policy.
Start->Run->gpedit
then
Computer Configurations > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Installer
Note that it only applies to windows installers. You can get further restrictions by adding a new group and only giving that group write access to 'Program Files'. Would recommend adding an implicit 'Deny' group policy for standard users.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Yes, I was joking. I didn't think it warranted a joke icon...and I still don't.

Floccinaucinihilipilification. 
We need an icon for that.

I'm with slacker007, windows is a joke, and for many it is an icon,
hence windows IS A joke icon.

You had a typo, fixed.

User Account Control?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Do you remember the name of that program that blocks users from installing windows apps

It looks as if everyone who responded thinks you are looking for a way to block programs from being installed.
They didn't read far enough to learn that you are looking for a way to turn the blocker off.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
