I've got to agree... here here... i mean, there is something inherently bad about asking an unresearched, off the cuff, poorly stated question. those are things that can be helped. Remember, we are all learning and growing here, and none of us, is an expert in all fields of computer science.

let us not have so much self-depreciating behavior, let us keep a nurturing environment like we've had since I joined this community, and let us all remember, at one point, some 30 years ago, some 3 months ago, we were all newbies :)
