This is an idea I've been mulling over making a thread for for a while now.

I don't want to call it a "Q&A thread" because that sort of implies the "answer the question posted above you." That'd die fast from a ridiculous question.

Anyway, if you're trying to do something and can't figure out how to do it, whether it be computer/digital, electrical, physical, or whatever else, try explaining the situation and see if any of us want to take a try at tackling it. There's a chance no one will, of course, but there's no harm in trying.

I'd like to try to answer as many as I can for a few days at least.

Example good questions:
"How do I extract a flash SWF from this old EXE file?"
"How do I extract images from a flash SWF?"
"How do people translate visual novels that use [engine]?"
"What engine does my visual novel use?"
"Does my car need a new transmission?"
"How does emulation actually work?"
"How do plasma screens actually work?"
"Why is my volume dial scratchy on my game boy?"
"Can anyone explain what this circuit does?"
"How do I compile this program?"
"Why did my GPU stop working?"

Example bad questions:
"Can someone teach me how to hack?"
"Can someone help me find a keygen for [program]?"
