MAP-EXTRA: POP QUIZ #2
"The Golden Age of the Net was last year. The Golden Age
of the Net was *ALWAYS* last year!!" -- Rev. Bob "Bob" Crispen
This is going to be fun! This quiz only has four questions, but the
questions require you to use the Internet to find the answers >:)
Again, do not send your answers to me. This exam is self-graded, and
the answers will be posted on FRIDAY (I want to give you plenty of
time to complete this exam).
1. There are literally THOUSANDS of files available through FTP
that have the .TXT file extension. Tell me the exact location
of just one of these files (hint: see MAP17).
2. Rick Gates has a monthly competition called "The Internet Hunt."
The Hunt asks ten of the most contrived questions you have ever
seen, and the Hunt's participants have to find the answers using
nothing but the Internet (and they also have to show where they
found the answers).
Come to think of it, the Internet Hunt is a lot like this pop
quiz ... hmmmm ....
I have heard that Rick places the Hunt results on the CICNET Gopher
server (gopher.cic.net) in Michigan (U.S.)
I am interested in the Hunt results. In particular, I am interested
in May, 1994 results.
Who won the May 1994 Internet Hunt in the individual category? :)
(Note: you may want to bookmark the main Internet Hunt menu --
it is a WONDERFUL Internet training resource).
3. I just tried a Veronica search and I got an "Empty Menu" error
for a file that I *KNOW* exists. I should call my local Internet
service provider and complain, right? Explain your answer :)
4. I want to subscribe to a LISTSERV list. The list's address is
NAVIGATE@UBVM
Tell me what I need to do.
BONUS: What *IS* Clifford Stoll's next book going to be about?
(One of the questions above gives you enough information to find
the answer).
