mtweidmann Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Found a quiz on the BBc news site. It tests you knowledge of Linux and FS in general. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2547495.stm I got the question about emacs wrong. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LinuxExplorer Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 The last three questions I knew nothing about and got wrong. Damnit, I thought there were 10 questions for some reason. That's what happens when you're sleep deprived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 I got four out of seven right, which means : " You're a demi geek. But you should spend more time slamming out code and less time roller-skating. " A demi geek ? they got that wrong, demi newbie would be correct.

Ixthusdan Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 I got 5 right. I think noooooobie is more accurate than demi-geek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 6 out of 7. Who's supposed to know that the common clocks that Unix uses celebrate clocking up 1 billion seconds at 0146 on 9 September 2001 ? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 6 out of 7. well, not too bad since I'm one of the "vi" side I also did wrong the 6th question :shock: Congratulations! You are a true geek and code monkey. Is that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Not bad, 4 out of 7. I had to close my eyes and guess on the last 3 though. No big surprise those were the ones I got wrong. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamCat Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 You got 5 right! You're a demi geek. But you should spend more time slamming out code and less time roller-skating. lol I knew #5 only because I had recently read this: http://www.bell-labs.com/history/unix/ I missed 6 & 7. They were bad guesses. I guessed #3 as well but got lucky. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 6 out of 7. Who's supposed to know that the common clocks that Unix uses celebrate clocking up 1 billion seconds at 0146 on 9 September 2001 ? :? More to the point, who would bother to remember that ?? :shock: Anyway, 6 out of 7 is good. Smart ass :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Demi Geek here, 5 of 7 right... Which suits me just fine as I'm not a coder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games made before i was born don't count :P I would say im a noob, now if they were M$ questions you would get a MSCE for that :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 I got 5 out of 7.. Should be 6 out of 7 if I didn't forget to answer that 1 billionth second in unix question.. I actually know that one.. stupid mouse scroller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 6 out of 7. Who's supposed to know that the common clocks that Unix uses celebrate clocking up 1 billion seconds at 0146 on 9 September 2001 ? :? That's the same one that I got wrong. I suppose I could have taken the time to calculate the correct answer. Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 After doing the calculation the exact answer is 1:46:40AM on September 9th 2001 GMT. Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
