Hi Ngu,

I actually remember having read your post before. It’s very good and unfortunately it happens way too often!

Speaking about writing maintainable code, doesn’t it occur to you that writing maintainable can be harmful?

Hi Joske,

I kinda figured the first one would be the hardest by far. Although a lot of people have seen the movie, few people seem to remember his hacking abilities.

For the second one, it all depends on how long you’ve been into computer related movies. It’s an oldie but a goldie. I still get a kick out of the “prototype pentium” chip that Acid Burn’s laptop had Technology evolves so fast!

Hi Average Midget,

Firstly let me say congrats on winning your copy of How to Generate Traffic to Your Website!

And no you didn’t cheat, it was my mistake for leaving in that information. If anything, I have to give you kudos for figuring it out this way

I’ve just sent you the ebook a minute ago by email. Don’t be shy to let me know what you think of the book when you’re done reading it.

Awww just too late to type in the label you see when you hover the mouse over the image

I would have guessed wrong on the second one (would have said Swordfish) and I wouldn’t even have known where to start for the first one. Last one is easy.

I’ll give it a shot…

1) “The Core”, a 2003 Sci-Fi movie.
2) “Hackers”, a 1995 thriller.
3) “Office Space”, a 1999 comedy.

Honestly, I would not have even come close to getting the first one, had it not been for the image name. If I’m not disqualified for cheating, by looking at the file names, I look forward to reading your e-book.
