Simply pop up a message saying "Try notepad..."

This is a Microsoft product we are talking about: it can't just "pop up a message".
It has to slide a thing in from the bottom right corner, unfold it into a box, fade it into view, then give you a button to see the message. (Which takes you to the metro screen even if you have windows 7, and won't let you back)
"Pop up a message" - tch! So last week!

I see, back to Java I go...

Google translate did a good job on that: Detected it as Javanese and translated it to English as:
"Gate Gate paragate parasamgate svaha Risen!"
So I manually change the detection to Thai, whereupon it magically become:
"Gate gate paragate parasamgate Bodhi svaha!"
Which is clearly much, much more useful...

Try searching on Prajnaparamita Sutra, Heart Sutra, or, Lotus Sutra, or try: [^].
The last time I said this (out loud, with this body's voice) was when the next-door neighbor, a Thai, asked me to come over and see Milo. Milo was his very friendly aged cocker-spaniel, who, imho, like all long-haired dogs, suffered mightily in the heat and humidity of Thailand.
At his house my friend showed me a freshly covered over excavation, and said, in Thai: "Milo's dead." For whatever reasons I bowed (made the "wai" gesture) to the late Milo's grave, and said the mantra: to my delight, and surprise, my Thai friend, a Buddhist, promptly said: "Amen" 
Way back in the late paleolithic, before even Visual Basic, when I used to meditate at the Berkeley Zendo, this Sutra would be chanted in English after the sesshin was over: it was always comical to be part of a group of thirty, or so, people speaking in unison: "no eyes, no ears, no mouth," etc.

I would like a plug-in that would tell me when I'm being stupid. Problem is, it might get stuck in an infinite loop.

Hi Abu,
Anytime I need to feel stupid, I just post on the Lounge, or answer a QA question here, but I am not sure it will work for you.
cheers, Bill

A "Turbo Mode" -- like Turbo Pascal and it's ilk, whereby it doesn't need to create a freakin' Project and Solution just to compile the files I have open dagnabit! 
Even I can* write a simple IDE that just does this one simple thing for me, why can't they?
* And I have. And I use it a lot.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Should be right on top of the settings page.
If you get an error while saving your settings or some such I'd recommend you take it to the site's bugs and suggestions forum (and don't forget to mention the error you're getting).
It might also help to turn off your modem, router and computer...[^] 
It's an OO world.

Do you have any error? I just changed email two months ago - no problem at all...

Why not? I can get to the Settings page easily enough, and all you need is to set the new one and press the Save button.
If you get an error at that point, then as Johnny has said: take it to Sugs'n'Bugs - but tell Chris what happened, what you did to cause it, and any relevant details such as browser, phase of the moon, colour of underwear, shape of keyboard, that sort of thing.

I think it's better not to get into that discussion, don't you?
