[orca-list] OT: LMGTFY accessibility

["Nolan Darilek" <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Sorry, couldn't resist the meta nature of an OT post about OT posts. :P

Thanks for mentioning LMGTFY.com, saw it on one of the feeds I follow a 
while back and hadn't been able to find it since. I either may not have 
googled it or may have needed someone else to do it for me.

In any case, I just tried it and am not sure what about it is 
inaccessible. The least accessible aspect of my experience was that I'm 
running NoScript and both the landing page and the redirected link 
require javascript, and since it wasn't immediately obvious that I'd 
been redirected, I had to allow scripts twice. But, yay, as a former 
non-googler, I'm glad to have a poignant tool available to me.

Sorry to be such a kermudgen, but if you're going to use Linux, you 
really have to learn to do the research, even if only to find relevant 
communities. Linux (and to a lesser extent Solaris) isn't like other OSs 
in that there isn't a single distributor. Asking Linux questions on the 
Orca (or any Linux app) list makes about as much sense as asking home 
improvement questions on a gardening list because the garden is part of 
your home. And if community boundaries aren't maintained then community 
loses any meaning beyond "clusters of people with vaguely similar 
interests gathered around a flag." We DO have a flag, don't we? ;)

Anyhow: </izard></rant><coffee>
