Holic said...

Droid116 said...

YES!!!

Holic said...

Does Yahoo count as a publication?? -.-

Droid116 said...

I am ruling a no on that one.

taurusdragon said...

What exactly are you asking for question #1? definition of HTTP specification?

Holic said...

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/20070610-1847-whalemoving.html

does that work for #12?????!?!?

XKrNxBallarX said...

What specifically do u mean by financial information for oracle? can we just screenshot or get the URL for the stock price?

Cinderella said...

Is leaving a comment on your page the definition of # 11????

Droid116 said...

HTTP is the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol and the basis for the world wide web server. A specification is the technical document that defines what it will do in regards to features and functionality. Question for you. Have you Googled "HTTP specification"?

Droid116 said...

shorthand for specification is specs

The Napster said...

can we create a tag cloud for www.exit133.com ??

Kitty said...

Will a print screen work for showing an item if there is no way either of us can figure out how to copy the url address needed to answer the question? (Question 2)

Droid116 said...

Yes to Cinderella.

I need more than the stock quote, and an screen shot with EPS, outlook etc would work.

Droid116 said...

Yes to Napster and Kimberly

Kitty said...

Do both team memebers need to create a blog entry?

Droid116 said...

Each member of the team has to create a blog entry.

Warpaint1976 said...

For oracle do you want the stock financial info?

Holic said...

Can you explain #1 to us.... plz ? :) we still don't get it!

taurusdragon said...

do you want us to finish the scavenger hunt before we sent you the notification email?

Droid116 said...

You can send one notification email before you finish, then send the final one.

Holic, please read through the comments for your answer.

Kitty said...

By travel itinerary, are you asking for the list of things to do [ie: plans] for a weekend or are you asking for the flight/hotel information? [cost, times, etc].

Droid116 said...

Kimberly, I am asking for flights in and out plus hotel in regards to itinerary.

Tacoma Gnome said...

Such the honor!

Thank you for putting me into your scavenger hunt.

Wow. Item number 4.

What can I say!

That is quite easy, just as long as your class doesn't spend its time in my posts to find it. Imagine that! Digging through 11 or more pages to find my favorite movies.

Until Next Time,
TacomaGnome

Kitty said...

What are the ages of the kids? I keep getting asked that by the hotel/flight thingies.

Droid116 said...

Go ahead and make up the ages.

Warpaint1976 said...

What is the name of the Remake of its a mad, mad, mad, world???

Kitty said...

Warpaint1976 said...

where is yahoo's business offices located?

Droid116 said...

Yahoo is headquartered in Mountain View, CA

I checked the link and it worked.

Mad, Mad world has been redone in concept many times.

Thanks for stopping by Gadsby

Tacoma Gnome said...

Certainly my pleasure!

I'm not in your class, just a blog reader (and fan) who decided to give it a go. It was fun, and I hope you'll do more of these scavenger hunts in the future!

Droid116 said...

Thanks Nancy, once I review your list I will let you know how you placed among the non class participants.
