Considering that whenever I Google a programming question, the most relevant question has been moderated into oblivion and so I have to seek my answer elsewhere.

Above is a bit toungue-in-cheek, but it is true in many cases. I don't find SO as the definitive answer site for that reason, but there is a lot of good information there.

Other very useless answer is having the first result as: 'This is a common question, you should use Google'.

This doesn't happen in SO, but it happens often enough in other forums.

That or bombarded with "just google it" replies.

If any answer on stackoverflow is "just google it", the said answer will be downvoted because it doesn't actually answer the question.
