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


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
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and indicate whether you would like JUnit in Action or
Struts in Action)

NEXT:


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

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.


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 8, 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!

-Ted.
