It's like climbing up the ladder into a treehouse filled with the "No Girls" club when your name is Stephanie.
This is an internet community. You'll never find people on here who have any interest or desire to take 3 seconds to type an answer to your questions. Instead you'll only find people who will take 20 seconds to berate you for "wasting their time" with a question that can be answered if you hunt around yourself.
That guy who wants to write up a guide to using forums and wikis is a perfect example. Rather than waste time to say "yes, you will need jars" or "nah, no pc is needed" he will instead take an entire afternoon out of having fun and tripping to type up something pointless that exists only to feed his tiny self-important ego. (By the way, since when has there ever been a set of rules for using the internet? Stop being such control freaks before you die from cardiac arrest). You should run away from this board before its too late. To answer your question you'll need around 6 or 7 hours till you are back to baseline. Anyway, I think I hear the first angry retort to the above hurtling towards me, so I'm going to get out of here while I'm still alive. In summary: never ask forum nerds for advice, they'll just get angry and start insulting you. And before I go: To the guys who get fed up with these posts: How can you complain about people wasting your time with repeat questions when you're spending enough time sitting on this board to notice them in the first place? That seems to me like hypocrisy. It's kind of laughable that people who spend large portions of their days posting on a message board can even fathom the idea of wasted time to begin with. You yourselves are wastes of time.
Winner. Yes it is sad how eager people are to bash someone, reminds me of a pack of wolves teaming up for the kill sometimes, and I have to say it is a much bigger let down that a community such as this isn't striving to be better than the norm. Believe it or not lots of people just have no idea what to do with a computer and/or the internet still, let alone web forums, and that's no damn reason to be so rude to someone who just wants a safe journey.

Not to be repetitive but... How Long?
See that already implies that he knew it was a frequently asked question. There is a FAQ(And imagine that it means Frequently Asked Questions.) That held the answer to his question. Whats the point of having the FAQ if people arnt going to use it? He got his answer but we arnt going to hand it to him on a silver platter with caviar.
Rude is judging an entire forum negetivly because we were being a little sarcastic about doing your own research.

Please excuse me, I should have articulated my point in a way that couldn't be mistaken to be judging the entire community, I changed my original post.
