This is a thread meant for simple questions and simple responses, preferably links to educational resources.
I figured maybe other people are like me and have some small questions they don't know where to put and that don't merit their own thread. Ok, so I know that there are those that get frustrated with the stupid questions, so I thought by giving the thread this title perhaps those aggravated by such things may take the hint, and those of use with a stupid /prog/ related question may choose to use this thread to ask them in relative safety! A reasonable idea? We shall see!
Whether you're new to /prog/ or not, at some point you have probably had a question that you thought was stupid and didn't really want to start a thread for it, and didn't want to hijack someone elses thread either.
Here is your chance to claim "stupid question amnesty" and help others with the same question find educational content at the end of a quick search.
Maybe it will work and prove to be a great resource. Maybe it will get buried with no activity whatsoever only to get necro'd 3 years from now, mocking it's failure. (in which case I will claim amnesty)
I've always told people when they prefaced a question with "this is a stupid question..." by saying there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. It gets a laugh. So I've always been careful of not saying this may be a stupid question.
Here's a place for new owners to ask those "stupid" questions. The kind you're embarrassed to ask for fear of being laughed at, or lectured for being such a noob.
Then hopefully some wise /prog/rider who, feeling ambivalent or simply bored, cruises by might share said wisdom with grace and style.
Someone please ask a stupid question. I'm jealous of the people who can answer the smart ones.
Lets all work together to give answers where we can without speculating. If you don't know, don't answer. If you do, let's get these stupid questions out there and answered!
Remember, the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask.
