today on my blog: the silly people who are allowed to use computers, and the people who get to answer their stupid questions ;-)
yesterday's gem: "Quick question: how big is our new server?"
yesterday's gem of an answer: "2.4" (thanks wheels!)
today's gem: "we want to hook up a firewire to one of the file server machines through the usb port to load more data onto the array and are wondering what the procedure is to mount it and get it to be seen properly"
today's gem of an answer: "first, plug it into the FIREWIRE port ..."
*sigh*

My gem of the week (nick changed to protect the clueless):
[03:49:23] <user> Does anyone know how to remove the vocals in an MP3?
[03:55:08] <wheels> rm -f <mp3> ;-)
[03:55:50] <user> Explain it to me as if I was a five year old. Then slow it down twice, and maybe I'll understand.
[03:56:29] <wheels> Hmm. I see no subtlety has been lost. ;-) That's the UNIX / Linux command to remove a file.
[03:57:06] <user> And if you are running windows?
Question: Does anyone know how to remove the vocals in an MP3?
Answer: Shoot the singer?
I personally think there are no stupid question.
We assume everybody knows as much as we do.
but just step back for a minute and think.
Would you not have asked the exact same question when you start learning about the topic ?
no. I would not. some people are simply stupid. so many questions show a fundamental misunderstanding of not only the subject matter, but also other things that are trivial to deduce.
I hope those rose coloured glasses are going well for you.
We dont know anything when we are born, and we all have diffrent experienses and diffrent ways of learning things. Its the one who answers the question who got to adopt to be smart enough to formulate a understandable answer.
