Geek Quiz

Q1: Which programming construct is closely linked to Apple? (No, “customer lock-in” is not a programming construct.)

Q2: Find the birthdate of one of the PostgreSQL developers and find out who it likely is.

Q1 should be trivial. My answer to Q2 is not verified, so this is more a quiz of “do you think the same.” Both answers are found on the web.

Update / Solution: Tobias obviously is right for the first one. The second one is a bit theoretical. The answer is 1957-06-13 for Tom Lane, based on “cvs annotate” output for the documentation of the age() function. I have no idea if I'm actually right. (And: wow, they really still use CVS...?)
