Hahahaha. That's a nice one.

Hey!
You're from Helsinki! Me too!

That seems to be a pretty good book.

Especially this part "also included a step by step guide how to avoid being flamed"

Finns are really cool, like that Linus guy, he is also cool.!

Sweet picture

I think forums should make the Search link stand out more. Maybe more people would notice and use it. And to be fair, sometimes finding what you want in a search on a forum can be a black art.

This might not be real even...
The Dummies web site is at http://www.dummies.com/, but I can't find this book in their list.

In my opinion, one can't ask too many questions.
And that is what forums are for, IMHO.
And yes, it's very much fun to learn new stuff.

Ïf the same question has been asked over and over again, then it might be better to read the old answers before asking.

How ever, questions that haven't been answered are totally different thing.

PS. I don't think the book is real, it should be though!

Yes, I agree, they should use the search button first before asking the questions.
