AVR-Chat

The whole world has become too lazy. 

Back when I worked in an office, people would come to my desk and say "what flag for tar does gzip compression?" or some such question. I'd say "I don't know, let's look it up" (even though I did know).. I'd pull up the man page, and search for the argument. We'd find it, and they'd say "Thanks"... Now, one would hope they'd realize you can look things like this up for yourself.. but NO... an hour later, they'd come back from another RTFM question.. so I'd play the same game again.. Sometimes, I'd have to play this game hundreds of times for the laziest folks
