I am trying to open Blender on my laptop, it is not opening.
When I open the .zip file (I downloaded the Windows version) a black screen appears for a second before closing, and that's all it does. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to open the blender.exe file but only the black little pop up ...
I used Blender version 2.68a last year. I wanted to start using it again, but now whenever I start Blender it simply crashes immediately with the message, "Blender has stopped working". I've tried using multiple different versions, including the most recent 2.71 version w/ 32 bit and 64 bit.

Yes, absolutely! Answer them (once).
The ideal way to handle endless variations of the same trouble-shooting questions is to create what we call "canonical answers" — comprehensive guides about what users should do when they hit these commonly-asked crashing and performance problems.

I have come across many questions that deal with units, the latest one here. I propose we change blender-units to be units. It would fit a broader spectrum of questions, and some that are already tagged as blender-units are really not about blender-units.

Is there a way to change the size of evenly extruded polygons AFTER performing Extrude/Inset?
It can be very helpful in modeling to be able to work with sets of geometry and yet retain control over the individual elements as if they were being worked on one at a time.

Here is a picture of my scene.
The important parts the door, the door knob and the empty.
First I parented the door knob to the door. Select door knob then select door and press Ctrl P > Object.
Then I placed a empty at the location where the door hinge would be. Now parent the door to the emp...
I got carried away modeling a scene for that answer :)
There are a few spots with odd topology, which seem to be around the places where the UV map is behaving strangely.
Try pressing ⎈ Ctrl⇧ Shift⎇ AltM to select non-manifold topology. Ideally ⎈ Ctrl⇧ Shift⎇ AltM won't select anything, but in your file there are some interior faces:

@gandalf3 I don't believe it, I was actually looking at that to answer, but then I got . . .well you already know what happened.
I was trying to replicate the dynamic joint setup presented here (Maya) http://youtu.be/quNPwNt5zmk?t=48s (See the first 10 seconds animation of the "Process and inspiration of the making of PTEROIS" starting at 48s).
