Ted,

Here is my entry for your contest...

1. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension,
and dissension have begun. RIFF.

and

2. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass
over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye
to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

Cheers,
Brian Higdon

Last time, we asked contestants to name for a popular science fiction series
that featured a psi cop named after a science fiction author 

1 The series (Babylon 5)

2 The character (Alfred Bester)

3 The actor who played the character (Walter Koenig)

4 The character this actor played in another famous science fiction series
(Chekov)

*OR* to list the twelve core practices of Extreme Programming.



Turn out was low for this contest, so either the questions were hard, or
this bit is getting stale :) 

Anyway, last week's winner is: 

* MELISSA L KELLEY 

(Melissa, please send your surface mail address to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
indicate whether you would like JUnit in Action or Struts in Action)



NEXT: 

To play, correctly answer  -- directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- one or
both of these questions.

In The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester, a character used a jingle to help
keep himself from being "scanned". 

  1 The first word of the chant is "Tenser". How does the rest of it go?

In Dune by Frank Herbert, a character used a litany to help him through a
time of stress.

  2 The first word of the chant is "Fear". How does the rest of it go?

*OR* 

  + Name your two favorite changes, improvements, or new additions to the
Struts Nightly Build since 1.1 was released. Hint:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/release-notes.html>. One more
addition, currently in progress, is to add a "module" parameters to several
tags to allow linking between modules. [Yes, 1.2.0 will be along shortly :)]




Contestants sending -- directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- correct
answers to the to the bonus question *OR* the SF question to me will be
eligible for the next drawing. (the correct answers being the ones I
expect). Prior winners excluded (but feel free to play anyway).

The contest will run until Thursday, January 15, 2004, 23:59:59, so everyone
has a chance to participate.

The lucky winner selected from the correct responses will receive their
choice of either a signed copy of Struts in Action *OR* JUnit in Action.

(Signed only by me, I'm afraid, my co-authors are scattered across the globe
-- gotta love the Internet!)

    PLEASE be sure to reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have an interesting science fiction or computer science question that
is hard, or at least fun, to google, please send it to me. The first to
suggest a question that we use also wins!

I'll bite..

#2
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn my inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

And yes I do not own a time-machine either...at least ..NOT YET!

Hi Ted,

it's not gone stale, the questions are just getting hard! The best bit
is waiting to see how long it will be before someone posts the answer to
the list! And then seeing what their reaction is once they realise what
they did!

Actually Brian Higdon's answer (to try to 'recall' his mail) was a bit
of a disappointment. Are you still out there Brian? Gotta have a
grovelling apology!

Actually I have more fun trying to find something that is a good Quiz
but hard to google, because generally I don't have a clue what the
answers to your quizzes are - at least for 15 minutes before someone
posts the answer. :)

Last time (which was some time ago), we asked contestants to identify the
title and author of a seminal paper regarding artificial intelligence
published by the journal MIND in 1950. Our bonus question regarding a
tangentially related story by Harlan Ellison (gotta love Harlan).

As many already know, here are the correct answers

The paper was entitled "" and written by "". The Ellison story featured an
AI computer named "AM" by the title "I have no mouth and I must scream".

Sadly, one contestant let the cat of the bag and posed the answers to the
user list. But no worries, we'll just make it a drawing instead. So, that
week's winner, selected from all the responses, is:

* MICHAEL MCGRADY

as our winning contestant. (Michael, please send your surface mail address

NEXT:


A popular science fiction series featured a psy cop named after a science

1 Name the series

2 Name the character

3 Name the actor who played the character

4 Name the character this actor played in another famous science fiction
series


*OR*, answer this bonus question instead:


* List the 12 core practices of Extreme Programming.

Ellison wrote the Star Trek episode that featured Joan Collins - 
entitled "City on the Edge of Forever", I believe.

Of course, many people would argue whether Ellison is Science Fictoin or 
 speculative fiction. Mainly short stories, so it's an easy commitment 
for the impatient reader. :)

RE: [FRIDAY] YA Stuts In Action / JUnit in Action Trivia Quiz

[Andrew Hill]

Garrgh!
And it was the first one of his trivias I knew the answer for. :-(
Even spent 5 minutes googling the bonus question, and emailing Ted just now.
I really should read the latest emails first when I come back from leave.
Sigh.

Hey Ted,
How about a new question for those of us who didnt get our answer in before
the result was prematurely revealed. (ie anyone who answered before Edgars
post is still in the running but anyone after (like me :-< ) has to answer a
new question)???

PS, never read any Turing, but now I understand his influence.  Still
haven't read an Ellison, my patience with Science Fiction left after 30
years of Trek.

Even though the answer is out in the open, the contest is supposed to run
until Thursday, December 4, 2003, 23:59:59, so everyone has a chance to
participate.

Can I still enter my answer? It's what he said. ;-)

The answer, of course, is: Scott Adams, born June 8, 1957, who launched
the Dilbert strip in 1989.
Ted,

there is obviously a small anomaly in the international date line that 
circles your house!

I thought it was Dilbert, but I have never seen it, I'm sure. Do you 
have any idea of the date it was released, with which you can find it at 
dilbert.com?

since it's Friday ;)  my favourite Dilbert:

http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/sotd.aspx?storeid=dilbert&stripno=1343

Don't know how to find the real date it came out.

Re: [FRIDAY] YA Stuts In Action / JUnit in Action Trivia Quiz

Last time, we asked contestants to finish this quote

  Tests are the Programmer's Stone ...

and identifier the writer

Of course, several contestants completed Kent Beck's quote to be

"Tests are the Programmer's Stone, transmuting fear into boredom."

Of these, our arbitrarily selected winner is ...

  Matt McMahon

(Matt, please send me your mailing address and which title you would like.)

NEXT:

Once again, we are offering your choice of Struts in Action or JUnit in 
Action to one lucky contestant who correctly answers our quiz.

OK, here's another gimme:

For this storyline:



Tour of Accounting:

"Over here we have our random number generator."

"NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE"

"Are you sure that's random?"

"That's the problem with randomness: You can never be sure."

-

To play, name

* The Cartoonist
* The cartoonist's birthdate, and
* The year the comic strip was launched
Of course, everything here can be googled, since apparently anything of 
interest can now be googled :)

The winner will be selected at random (or at least arbitrarily) from the
correct responses. [The correct response being the one I expected =:)]
The contest will run until Friday, November 21, 2003, 23:59:59, so
everyone has a chance to participate.
The lucky winner selected from the correct responses will receive their
choice of either a signed copy of Struts in Action *OR* JUnit in Action.
PLEASE be sure to reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have an interesting science fiction or computer science quote
that is hard to google (or at least not *too* easy), please send it to
me. The first to suggest a
quote that we use also wins!

Since JUnit on Action is hot off the presses, this time we'll be 
offering the winner the choice of a signed copy of SIA *OR* JUnit in 
Action.

(Just my signature in both cases, I'm afraid, logistics prevent 
circulating these to my many co-authors.)

But, first, last time we offered up a "holiday treat" question. We asked 
contestants to name the famous science fiction series whose various 
peoples and institutions were made to say:



"Truth is a chameleon."

"All persons are contained within a single individual, just as all time
is in a moment, and the entire universe is in a grain of sand."
"One observes the survivors, and learns from them."



to which many respondents correctly answered "Dune".

The winning reply, selected arbitrarily, is:

JEREMY APPEL

(Jeremy, please send your surface mail address to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Thanks to the many people who took the time to play.

NEXT:

In honor of JUnit in Action hitting the streets, this time we ask 
contestants to finish this quote and identifier the writer:



Tests are the Programmer's Stone ...



PLEASE be sure to reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and to both

* finish the quote, and
* identify the author.
The winner will be selected at random (or at least arbitrarily) from the
correct responses. [The correct response being the one I expected =:)]
The contest will run until Friday, November 14, 2003, 23:59:59, so
everyone has a chance to participate.
