All of the Above because I wanna be like Trickykid!
I usually check it a couple times a day from work.
As a I become more and more comfortable with Linux, I try to read most of the posts to see what I have yet to learn. It's also the first place I go to find the answers to my linux questions.
actually to tell the truth. i started coming to this site and stuck with it cause there is good info here. i learn something myself everyday. that is why i come here so often, cause hopefully one day i can dump my job, finish school and make unix/linux my total profession.

Don't be so hard on yourself - everyone was a young once. I was one of only two people that voted 'Who said you had to be bored...' Now, who was the other?
Originally posted by shadowhacker I come here because I get bored at work and because I like talking (er, is that writing?) to others and learning new things.
Solidarity!
I'm trying to take slacking off at work to a new level! I keep debating whether trying to get a job doing this kind of stuff for a living is a good thing...
Also, I stop in a lot to see if I keep keep up with Taz's rabid post count.

Acid Kewpie. I originally started the poll with only 5 replies, but he invoked his moderatorial perogative to be cheeky. See how the option is signed [ak].

imagine that for a job... hang out all day on lq... mucking around in general, flaming the occasional newb... and making one or two helpful posts. hmmm...
maybe we SHOULD move to a subscription ...
