Stupid Windows 7
So the other day I was trying to add a printer on my laptop and my computer kept on coming up with the error "The Active Directory Domain service is unavailable." Not knowing what this meant, I've done a couple of hours of research on it now and I think the reason I can't connect to the printer is because it can't recognize Windows 7. You can't connect to any printer on Windows 7 unless the printer can recognize it, which isn't a lot of printers yet. I have a basic idea of what I would need to do to stop this error from happening, but why the heck is Windows that dumb? They hardly make anything in their systems compatible with their other systems.

They have too much pride... yet of Linux, Mac, and Windows, Windows is by FAR the worst.
If you want to keep the internet, vote no for SOPA and PIP. If you can't, tell your parents, your friends' parents! Sign petitions, do whatever you can! Say NOPA to SOPA!

Not always, but yes most of the time, they are the worst.
