I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

"Google is your friend"And other techno-snob remarks.
Very frequently, in the newsgroups I visit, someone will come in and ask a perfectly valid, on topic question and will get at least one person who will reply with "google is your friend."
No. Google is not my friend. It is a search engine and if I want to find something out by posting in the appropriate newsgroup then I will do so. Exactly what rule of Usenet ettiquete am I breaking? None.
Why, if people don't want to help, do they even bother replying? Why don't they just skip the thread and leave it to people who don't have an agenda against non-geeks?
It's just such a self-congratulatory response.
Edit: I suppose the reason some people say that is because they are such losers that Google really is their only friend!
