Time to play Friday Free Stuff*.
(but we gotta be quick because I need to get to the airport)
This week Friday Free Stuff* is sponsored by SDN and the lovely and talented Bao, who we see here showcasing today's prizes* .....
One of you lucky readers will win*.....
This MIDP Style Guide (signed by Bao; she's not the author but I made her sign it because I knew you guys might want to sell the book on ebay after you read it and having Bao's signature on it will seriously bring in the bids for you....)
as well as this gorgeous t-shirt that has been signed by Tim Lindholm (!!!!!) and Bao (!!!!!!!!!!)
and these fabulous prizes* go to the person who most correctly or in some other arbitrary way answers this:
Which of the following Java expressions *isn't* a compile-time constant:
(a) 0
(b) false
(c) null
(d) "nada"
(e) "na" + "da"
(f) 0.0
(g) 0L
(h) 0.0f
Post your answers in the comments section of this blog entry.
Question once again courtesy of Dr. Josh of that famous Click and Hack team. (he's gotten all kinds of awards during JavaOne, you know... he wasn't really singing karaoke... he won an award for best Spec lead.... i was just being silly...)
So big things you need to know
1. *Friday Free Stuff is not a contest. It is me giving something away that I personally own to somebody I choose. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office. Sun employees can play but are not eligible to win the prize. I am the judge. My decisions are final.
2. You need to get it on if you want to win the prize because I go on hiatus beginning next week and we're going to award Friday Free Stuff (if we have a winner before Saturday) before I leave.
3. I like it when you join SDN. Bao likes it too.
bon weekend!!
