isr.co.ro : glossary FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) An acronym (pronounced fakk) standing for Frequently Asked Questions, which is a document listing common questions about a particular subject area along with responses either written specifically for the document or culled from previous answers posted on a system. Most Usenet newsgroups (the bulletin-board like system of topic areas on the Internet) have FAQs posted periodically by volunteer maintainers in the newsgroup. You can also find newsgroup FAQs in the special newsgroup news.answers. Increasingly, organizations and companies post at internal addresses similar documents about how to use their systems. On the Internet, anybody can post a public FAQ about any subject, which also means the information in any FAQ is only as reliable as the source.
