This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
I think I'll migrate an online meme here to MD. It's been a month or two since I saw it last, so this might not be exactly as you've seen it before.
Take the book that's closest to you right now and turn to page 123. What is the fourth sentence there?
"Note that defensive copies are made before checking the validity of the parameters (Item 23), and the validity check is performed on the copies rather than the originals."
No fair cheating and grabbing your favorite book. Just go with whichever is closest.

If both the role_provider and the role_requirer of a parent component are inherited by a new role_inheritor-of-the-provider and a new role_inheritor-of-the-requirer correspondingly, then ...

The only run-time setup required for activatable servers is to ensure that the activation daemon rmid is running, and perhaps to bind the activatable stub(s) into the RMI registry.

[Jason]: Ya know, I was going to post that same quote.
Me too. Oh, wait - I did. Nevermind.
I particularly liked how it worked as a follow-up to your quote.
Gotta wonder what other stuff you've got at your desk though.

Page 123 is a page full of code followed by one sentence.
