This year is already flying by; I can’t believe that we’re less than two (2) weeks away from Cisco Live US! Seeing as it is Tuesday, it means it is time for a little trivia. I’ll put a few trivia questions below and let’s see who can get them all correct.
- Voice actor Elwood Edwards recorded the famous “You’ve got mail!” announcement (as well as “Welcome,” File’s done,” and others) on a tape deck in his home. You’d know his voice if you had which Internet service provider in the 1990s?
- What delicious computer term did web browser programmer Lou Montulli coin to refer to information that is sent from the browser to the web server?
- A precursor to Wi-Fi was an ethernet connection, and a precursor to ethernet was the ALOHAnet which used a UHF wireless packet network to connect parts of what U.S. state?
- Officially known as a "Stop error" or a "Blue Screen error" the acronym BSOD is commonly used for the error screen in the Windows operating system that displays upon a fatal system error. What do the letters BSOD stand for?
- What does "pwned" mean?
The last one is actually from a recent video to promote the Developer Dash (aka Dev Dash) at Cisco Live, so if you’re looking to “phone a friend,” check it out:
