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! -Ted.
