  1. From the trivia question Which of the following is not a Dr. Seuss book?

    Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:01:51 -0000

    Its “Horton Hears a Who”! One of my all-time favorites.

  2. From the trivia question What ratio (out of ten) of the population in Singapore own cell phones, and at what rate is this number increasing?

    Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:59:52 -0000

    That’s a lot of cellphones!

  3. From the lesson Passive Voice

    Tue, 18 Nov 2008 23:18:35 -0000

    I think so.

    Active: “This lesson impressed oLahav.” Passive: “oLahav was impressed by this lesson.”

    I use the passive voice all the time… I really should stop.

    We should note though, that using the passive voice is actually not grammatically incorrect, it just sounds a lot worse and should not be used.

  6. From the trivia question Which is not specifically a branch of Zoology?

    Fri, 07 Nov 2008 16:07:54 -0000

    Good question… I didn’t know what any of those other words were, but I did pick “inorganic” correctly.

  8. From the trivia question Shrek (the animated movie) was made by Pixar.

    Fri, 07 Nov 2008 02:53:14 -0000

    Shrek and its sequels were put out by DreamWorks Animation, not Pixar.

  9. From the trivia question George St. in St. John’s Newfoundland acquires it notoriety for having the most what?

    Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:03:48 -0000

    Sounds like fun!

  10. From the discussion Looking Back

    Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:02:04 -0000

    One thing that seems big right now is recruiting from emerging markets, like India & China. I bet that didn’t happen a lot 25 years ago.

  12. From the lesson Challenges in journalism

    Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:13:27 -0000

    In the US, journalism as you describe is under attack by editorialized reporting. Consider the 2 most popular news shows: Keith Olbermann’s “Countdown”, on MSNBC, and Bill O’Reilley’s “O’Reilley Factor”, on Fox.

    They are both hyper-political… switching between their coverage of the 2008 US election, you’d think they were talking about 2 completely different presidential races.

  13. From the trivia question In the show "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which was NOT a color worn by one of the turtles?

    Sun, 26 Oct 2008 02:08:53 -0000

    I’m from Canada, but there are LOTS of people on LearnHub from India… just have a look at the members of the GMAT community.

  14. From the trivia question In what year was Photoshop 1.0 release for Mac exclusively?

    Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:00:07 -0000

    Interesting… the first Mac was made only 5 years before that, in 1984.

  15. From the discussion What is Your Markup Style?

    Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:57:14 -0000

    Dude, I protest! That would lead to a lot more markup… God made heading tags that can have classes for a reason. I don’t think its the least bit unreadable.

    I’m curious to know how you think writing the CSS selectors for these is easier…

    
/* You: */
div.content-block-title h3 {...}

    versus

    
/* Me: */
h3.content-block-title {...}

  16. From the lesson Journalist Profile: Lois Lane

    Thu, 23 Oct 2008 18:45:14 -0000

    A great feminist. Probably inspired a lot of women into journalism and professional careers.

    Easy one!

  18. From the trivia question Django is a web framework named after the gypsy jazz musician, Django Reinhardt.

    Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:54:25 -0000

    I believe he played the guitar... my wife has a couple recordings of his. But I never considered that’s where the web framework got its name from.

  19. From the lesson Sentence correction: using wrong words

    Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:50:44 -0000

    I never knew the difference between “hanged” and “hung”. Thank you!

  20. From the trivia question What was the first computer?

    Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:55:08 -0000

    I got it right!

    I almost went with Pascal’s adder, but I didn’t think that qualified as a computer.
