ok, Ive seen this emoticon pop up from time to time, but for the life of me STILL cant work out what it means... What does mean ? :dunno:

Imi-ers, The following is brought to you by my friend's from wikipedia cause I didn't know it myself... I prefer 'fraking' overall other suggestions..... RTFM is an initialism for the statement "Read The Fucking Manual." This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions. To avoid the use of the expletive "fucking", the "F" is often translated to another adjective, such as "Fantastic," "Friggin'," "Friendly," "Freaking," "Flipping," "Flaming." Some people prefer the backronym "Read The Fine Manual." Alternatively, the "F" can be dropped entirely and the initialism rendered as "RTM" (Read The Manual), or the more polite "RTMP" (Read The Manual Please).

OMg! LOLOLOLOL. I couldnt have hoped for a more comprehensive and succinct answer! thanks Lols! and thank wikipedia as well! I wanna see the day this acronym makes to to the Oxford dictionary! so we now know rtfm! lol

PIBCAC - Problem Is Between Computer And Chair

These are great!! About 10 years ago when I was a rather amateur on with the computer, those techies around me all referred to the WYSIWYG . Took me a loooonnnggg time to figure out what it was. I thought it was some sort of PC component. Boy did I feel like a ADS when I found out what it really was.(can anyone figure out what ADS stands for? I just made it up!)

I thought it mught be "SHUT THE" FU Guess I had that wrong. I like yours better.

You know what CD, I think yours is correct. I'm not sure where I heard my version, but yours sounds more logical.

No it is so there and for those who don't know what WYSIWYG is its "what you see is what you get".

Heh, I remember back in the days of DOS we had a couple of people in the office using Macs for their desktop processing capabilities - far more wysiwyg than PCs were in those days. The girl had trouble using her mouse. Without anyone showing her how to use it (despite being sent on courses to learn to use the Mac and DTP software), she'd assumed it would go the same way around as a real mouse, with the tail hanging down off her desk. Of course, that meant that she had to work the buttons with the heel of her hand and that whenever she moved the mouse, the cursor went the opposite way on the screen. But despite her being very bright, it never occurred to her to turn the mouse round. She'd been using it like that for 2 or 3 months before she mentioned it to me and I turned the mouse round for her. It become so much more ergonomic after that...

some people are just plain dumb when it comes to computers its almost like common sense goes out the window hehehe.

Mom ran a a typing business in the mid-80s, with one of the very first word processors. Her more considerate clients would use fine black marker to turn periods into commas, touches of liquid paper where necessary, and incredibly faint pencil marks to show where stuff actually needed retyping. Then they'd wonder why the final copy still had the mistakes. Mom bought bright red pens with her company name on them and would demonstrate how to mark up a page, while they watched in shocked disbelief.
