(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.
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!
-Ted.
