oh happy, happy day!
Please join me in celebrating the first Friday of the year 2005 with some free stuff!
We've got a really nice bag with the new Solaris logo on it. Hot, hot, hot. There's a Java Everywhere cap, a Duke mouse pad, a long-sleeved 2003 JavaOne Conference Urban Adventure t-shirt and a really nice (heavy) ink pen.
Puzzler is still on vacation.
Don't fret. We got a plan. But first you 've got to go down memory lane with me.
OK. Think back to Junior High School.... try to remember .... think of something that could happen that would totally make your day. Aside from that. What could happen at school that would make your heart leap?
Substitute teacher!
So that's what we've got going on today with Friday Free Stuff.
The Puzzler is on vacation.
We've got a Sub.
I'd like to sincerely think Bob "CrazyBob" Lee for being the Sub. He's supplied me with a brain teaser that Dr. Josh and Dr. Neal said was "too easy" for you guys.
(For the record, Bob Lee is a former Friday Free Stuff winner. He went on to score a highfalutin job at Google. That's right. And it happened in exactly that order; on my watch. Seriously.)
Since it's either Crazy Bob's brain teaser or formulas. We're going with Crazy Bob:
Create an object "o" such that
"o.getClass().getMethods()" returns a method that throws
"java.lang.IllegalAccessException" when invoked.

One last thing... you might consider thinking about what has been happening Friday Free Stuff prizes in recent weeks. Notice any trends?
bon weekend!

p.s. Friday Free Stuff is not a contest. It's me giving away stuff that I personally own to people I choose. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office. This week I'm going to ask Crazy Bob to help me choose the winner (as I don't really understand any of this code stuff). In the event we have multiple winners, I'll ask him to choose the one which is most clever, graceful, funny or otherwise entertaining. We only have one grand prize package. But, like I said, you just never know what's going to happen with the prizes around here, people. I'm in a really, really good mood.
