wisdom in three words

10:28 <[livejournal.com profile] mangosteen> I wish there was a compact way of saying "I've
        already searched the web.  I will have an undefined reaction if you
        decide to answer my question with an uninformed opinion derived
        from looking at the first three results on Google."

http://lmgtfy.com/

(let me google that for you)

There's also one that has a swear word in it that is the same site, but I forget what it is, but http://jfgi.com/ is the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis....so...not right.

I like how the "just" of J in JFGI is used in a completely different sense than in its traditional application. It's almost--but not quite--a pun.

There are no more manuals. There are only websites. And if you're having trouble getting online or booting up, you're SOL.

And you get the funniest looks from IT staff when it becomes clear that you have, in fact, read the manual.
