Here are the winning entries from the EUUG/USENIX challenge at the Washington USENIX. The competion was in 2 parts: 1) The best question to ask somebody wearing one of the "? Ask Me" badges. 2) Complete the sentence "I think standards are great because..." Part 2 was intended to be a tie-breaker, but after looking at the entries we decided to judge it as a second competition. Ask Me questions.... Honourable Mentions: How do you pronounce "DesHarnais"? What joker put invisible ink in the motd laser printer? Why do the good sessions start at 9 a.m.? The Winner: What did the last person ask you? Standards are great.... Honourable Mentions: Well, I think this videotape will explain. Oh. I can't play it on your system. They give you someplace to fly your flag. They're what makes America great! The vendors can apply such creative interpretations to their implementations. The Winner: They give non-conformists something to not conform to. ====== Mike Bayliss, Siemens Systems Development Group 65-73 Crockhamwell Road, Woodley, Reading, Berkshire, RG5 3JP, UK Phone: + 44-734-691994 Email: mike@siesoft.co.uk Somewhere else the tea is getting cold.
