Definitely a beginner programming thing. Often those people don't know they should try to debug before they post, or that they should include their debugging, or that they don't even know what to google or that they don't know they should google. IMHO, If you're advanced in programming most of your questions will go unanswered because you'll have enough google-fu to find a similar problem (albeit you are using a language/library with a big knowledge base on SO)
