First, the answers to yesterday's quiz questions. They are:
1) Doctor. That's right. (If you happen to have an Apple machine running OSX, then you can see the bit of source that confirms the answer by going to your Utilities folder, starting the Terminal program, and typing or copying
open -a "TextEdit" /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play/doctor.el
and hitting return. Textedit will open the source of the program; then do a search on "bill". You should get two results - it's the second.)
Oh, and the bonus question, about why and when it was censored? 1996, because of the Communications Decency Act. Read more here.
2) Those wild and wacky Babylonians. Yes, it's true (though html, the page contains a 500K PDF).
Now for today's questions.
3) Which unit measures the resolution of mouse movement?
4) In Unix terms, what character is a bang?
Come on, now, neither of those requires Google, does it? You'll kick yourself if you do. Certainly with the first one.
