I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets this a lot.

There's also a hilarious variation when you google for an error, the first result is a thread on stackoverflow, and it's closed. The only reply being a mod's assertion that the question has been answered elsewhere. And then you're left digging around SO for what feel like hours, looking for this mythical answer. Sometimes in vain.

On a lighter note, kudos to the SO mods who go to the trouble of posting a link to a thread with answers when they close a duplicate. If one of you is reading this, know that you rock. Please hit the ones who don't follow your example around the head with a large blunt object. Thank you.

This is probably my all time favorite XKCD ever. It is just painfully true and funny. And yes, I've felt like the guy in it so many times.
