Geek of the Week
Posted on February 18th, 2007
We are adding another new feature to the blog. Each week (on Sunday) we will post a list of 5 questions. Answer the 5 questions in the comments and a winner will be selected from whoever has the most correct answers on the following Sunday. The winner will receive a free link back to there site or blog. At the end of the year we will award the Geek of the Year a cash prize and trophy. To win Geek of the Year you will need to win the most Geek of the Week’s throughout that year.
Here are the first 5 questions and good luck:
- What does the Acronym RAID stand for?
- What type of wire is used for telephones?
- What does the grep command do?
- What command would you use to edit your Windows Registry?
- The Apple Lisa was named after who?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
1. What does the Acronym RAID stand for?
Redundant Array (of) Independant Disks
2. What type of wire is used for telephones?
CAT-1 it is connected using RJ-11 connectors
3. What does the grep command do?
It searches one of more files for a given character or string.
4. What command would you use to edit your Windows Registry?
regedit
5. The Apple Lisa was named after who?
Steve Jobs’ daughter
hmmmmm, kind of a sad situation when the first Geek gets it right.
Are you sure?
Yeah, pretty sure.
1. Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Discs.
2. Category 1 wire (voice-grade copper).
3. A command made originally for Unix, it outputs lines containing the entered string.
4. regedit(.exe) or regedt32(.exe)
5. Steve Jobs’ first daughter. Apple officially said that Lisa stood for Local Integrated Software Architecture.
I’m assuming more than one person can answer the questions?
Geez Gary…come up with some harder questions. However, I have to admit it’s difficult to come up with real trivia these days in the age of Google and Wikipedia.
Next week the questions will be much harder.
I was thinking the same thing. Most of these questions could be pretty easily looked up online.
I think maybe you should change it to come up with the most creative, proper sounding yet wrong answer.
That would be a friggin Hoot!
For example, I think Steve Jobs loves the Simpsons, therefore I think he named it after Lisa Simpson
Hmm, maybe you shouldn’t make the Comments show up publicly until after the next set of questions come out. So, nobody just copies what someone has already said (not that I would do that)…
Good idea! We will implament that for the next one.
