80%

I might've gotten 8 wrong, but unless I'm missing something, I'm relatively sure I got the rest right.

[Giants Fan 85]

You got 8 right.

 

Is it too hard?

 

Planning on having an extra credit.

Was easy for me (waiting for an explanation of stuff I got wrong), but I've been using Macs for over 20 years.

[Giants Fan 85]

You got six wrong. Read six more closely.

[Giants Fan 85]

Shoulda put your name in and class time ...you'd have a 90%

 

JK, my bad ... you only missed 6.

I had no idea you had the ghey or were a pretentious d-bag.

so...a teacher posts his test on a public forum at a fantasy football message board before he gives his students the test?

psd is a photoshop document. Don't know what raster is, but it's not an image file in itself. It contains images, but it also has the information on things like the layers, so it's not just an image file.

[Giants Fan 85]

A photoshop file is inherently a raster (pixels) image file ... however it can contain vector information (like points and paths).

 

The answer is d

[RicemanX 20]

I know all but 2 of them.

Fair enough. I've done very little with anything graphical related, I totally suck at art.

#2 is E.

 

Xerox invented the personal computer.

Apple invented the first COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL personal computer.

 

http://www.valorebooks.com/froogle/buy/sit..._source=froogle

 

Xerox also invented what we know now as the mouse and the concept of a desktop.

[Toro 3]

#10 is also E.

 

Java is compiled into Byte code that is then interpreted by a virtual machine.

 

So therefore, it is not broken down to binary.

 

This test sucks.

Actually, Apple bought GUI from Xerox. ... I'm talking before the mouse. It's a fact that Wozniak offered the idea to HP and they said something along the lines of "Why would a regular person want a computer?"

Ok, so if I said "Usually" that question is good?

Oh, I can make it so every test is different. I can make it all essay questions at the last minute, if I want to ....

 

I can delete this thread.

 

Any ideas for extra credit?

 

If a student could find this .... they deserve to ace the test, given the scope of the class. It's more secure than the tests that have been given quarter after quarter, for 3 years.

Taking the test topless gets any girls you deem worthy one letter grade higher?

I gave you that bug question about a week ago.

 

Maybe translating a number to/from binary, name of Steve Jobs' daughter (Lisa, also the name of a computer), what college Gates dropped out of (Harvard), and order of kilo/mega/giga/tera/peta/exa bytes.

As a Mac guy ... I'm trying to give Microsoft equal coverage.

 

What bug coverage? They dunno virus vs. worm yet.

 

101 class.

What was the first "bug"?

 

Answer: moth

 

Back in the days of the huge ass computers, a moth got into one of the switches and created a short. That's where the term bug came from.

[Giants Fan 85]

Oh, I got it ...

 

What are the key commands for a "Force Quit" on a Mac or the "Task Manager" on Windows?

 

That's my extra credit.

In the Univac? Too old to matter. Not really a history test.

Xerox invented the personal computer. You question asks who invented the personal computer. If you need to, buy that book I linked.

 

I threw in the mouse and GUI part as a side note. They were two separate statements.

[Toro 3]

Ok, so if I said "Usually" that question is good?

 

No, it's a bad question because technically, all of Microsoft's .NET is also run in a similar fashion.

 

You might want to change the question to: When computer languages are broken down into binary data, it is....
