I’ve just stumbled upon this quiz which is published as part of a “C# 4.0 In A Nutshell” book, but provides a great test for your LINQ knowledge:
C# 4.0/3.0 in a Nutshell – LINQ Quiz
There are some particularly tricky ones in there. I fell flat on questions 6 and 9. Those are the types of seemingly anomalous bugs I would rant and rave about, then slap my head when I figure out my mistake.
Take your test today!
Fast? Superfast!
Can this get more crazy? One of the key plug-lines of the page:
The Cisco CRS-3 triples the capacity of its predecessor, the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System, with up to 322 Terabits per second, which enables the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress to be downloaded in just over one second; every man, woman and child in China to make a video call, simultaneously; and every motion picture ever created to be streamed in less than four minutes.
Housed in the same components of today's CRS-1, in-place uninterrupted upgrades can be performed in a production environment.
A bit technical-heavy, but eye-opening, the clip below is a good reel of advertising blurb that made me think of the future:
James (at work) said to me out of the blue that he thought of a language when at uni to be called “CharvaScript”.
Apart from making me laugh, it made me think a little. So I thought some more. Then I stopped thinking and picked my nose. Then I thought some more again.
I came up with this as the world’s first (I think) “CharvaScript”:
alrite mate got ciggy mate? got a light mate? mate, ciggy is "Marlboro" mate, light is "Zippo" av got ciggy and " " and light for you mate nawww thanks mate
This is a new flavour of the classic “Hello World.” It outputs “Marlboro Zippo”.
I’m sure you can work it out by yourself how it’s interpreting the script into an executable code path.

I’ve just read an interesting article detailing 5 similarities between James Cameron’s Avatar and the World of Warcraft.
If you play WoW, I think you’ll agree he has a point…
