cut off at the knees
imagine this scenario...
quietly coding away against a tight dealine, when you hit a stump. shit, shit, shit, how do i solve this?
some of you may know where i am going with this.
ah ha, i'll hit up groups, Google's answer to the everyday trivial questions that everyone knows they should know, but sometimes just cant remember. click on my bookmarked link sitting directly in Firefox, just waiting to pop open a new tab and save the day.
whats this? no... NO... FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

thats right folks. i have been blocked yet again by the company.
in light of this event, i ask my readers how many times they access groups on a daily basis. aside from tucker who would claim to be the walking google group. be honest. i know you want people to think you know everything, but you secretly look up "html link reference" after a 2 day bender.
--as i wrote that i realized my comments dont work. you have to click on the post title and leave them there. yet another instance groups would have come in handy.--
Comments
html link reference?
what kinda of IDE do you use that doesn't have built in help? Notepad?
I hit up the groups from time to time, I won't lie, but it's usually to find out hot to spell funny words like onomatopoeia or pr0n.

onomatopoeia - In rhetoric, linguistics and poetry, onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that employs a word, or occasionally, a grouping of words, that imitates, echoes, or suggests the object it is describing, such as "bang", "click", "fizz", "hush" or "buzz", or animal noises such as "moo" or "quack" or "meow".

I don't use groups everyday, but there are days when it seems like I hit it constantly.
For argument's sake, I'd say once a day on average.
Tucker uses it, he just pretends he doesn't b/c he has that Google Implant(TM).
