新手發問的幾點要求

[raymond]

呵呵，Niner的發文動機很好，他的意思不是倚老賣老嫌棄新手發問，
我想他的用意是希望新手發問之前做點功課，
實在找不到答案，在提問的同時把自己的環境說明一下，
方便熱心解答的朋友掌握問題的root cause!也更容易提供精確的建議，俺也附議這樣的美意。

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way？


Before You Ask

Before asking a technical question by e-mail, or in a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:

1. Try to find an answer by searching the archives of the forum you plan to post to.
2. Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
3. Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
4. Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
5. Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
6. Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend.
7. If you're a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source code.

Questions Not To Ask

Here are some classic stupid questions, and what hackers are thinking when they don't answer them.

Q: Where can I find program or resource X?
Q: How can I use X to do Y?
Q: How can I configure my shell prompt?
Q: Can I convert an AcmeCorp document into a TeX file using the Bass-o-matic file converter?
Q: My {program, configuration, SQL statement} doesn't work
Q: I'm having problems with my Windows machine. Can you help?
Q: My program doesn't work. I think system facility X is broken.
Q: I'm having problems installing Linux or X. Can you help?
Q: How can I crack root/steal channel-ops privileges/read someone's e-mail?

This question just begs for "STFW" as a reply.

希望每個人都能得到精確的回覆喔。
