the end of 206

[katster]

Well...

here's a question from today's exam:


The Java socket is an interface between:
(a) the application and the network
(b) the transport layer and the physical layer
(c) the network layer and the data link layer
(d) the coffee pot and the utility grid

While the right answer is A, I love D for its sheer silliness.

It wasn't all that easy, but I finished it in the fastest time I've finished an exam ever in that class.

Anyway, time for some sleep and then writing the 208 paper again...this time remembering to *SAVE*. :P

Wow. I guessed A without reading on. Ah ahm ze mahsteer! I see you are listening to Great Big Sea. I wonder how that happened. Come visit Ratpick again soon. I'll be perma-in town by then. :)

J2ME on the coffee-pot and an X-11 sender for the coffeepot and a receiver for the power grid. (D) is so happening! Back before the bubble burst, we could probably have got VC funding for the whole shebang ... :)

There's even a protocol for it, and a few existing utilities we can derive it from.
