| Feb 23, 2012 at 21:03 | comment | added | uSlackr | @voretaq7 see my comment above re:google. I think the about page thinks differently about this topic. Which is fine of course, but interesting | |
| Feb 23, 2012 at 21:02 | comment | added | uSlackr | @RobMoir - interesting comment - I was voted down in metaSu for suggesting short answers might be OK: meta.superuser.com/questions/3190/… | |

Sometimes its difficult to justify putting more effort into answering a question than the person asking put into the question itself | |

Google is the Grail -- just my 2 cents, but many of the questions we get where the asker is yelled at to read the FAQ and do some research are like this one. Literally typing hardware virtualization benefits & hardware virtualization drawbacks into Google would have given this person SUPERB answers, and been faster than asking here.

The problem are users who demonstrate with every aspect of their questions that they are lazy fools who don't care at all about their problem, where they ask it and don't think for a minute about what might be needed to help them. | |
