You can moderate me down, but I don't take that back. Science is selective and it is elitist. Science just as economy is a new religion. Imagination is besides what is commonly accepted. Homeopathy and other fringe practices are besides the accepted. Point proven.
It is a question of honesty and of realistic expectations: If you disclose to an employer that the only reason you sought to commit a minor edit to an open source project was for him to score you more highly, not because you really wanted to do it, you'll look like dishonest (of course you may prefer to conceal the real reason but that wouldn't make you less dishonest - perhaps it will only add premeditation).
As for realistic expectations, if you think that a minor edit to an OS project will score you any points, think again: OS project contributors are really a hierarchy, and only the most committed contributors really get noticed. Listing a contribution on your CV that nobody can find let alone appreciate in context unless you'll point them to the exact URL is like saying you once threw a drop of water in the ocean. As if the ocean would care!
Don't think of making a big fuss of small things. And if you won't seek to do that, don't do small things unnecessary (and not particularly if it may take you great deal of work to get them done). Become a good user (of any database), find the job you want, and leave committing to the codebase to those who really care.
I agree, dar is definitely the way to go. You need to learn how it works but once you do it's incredible all the things you can do. What safetyinnumbers is referring to is called an isolated catalogue. See also: dar_manager.
I use AlwaysVPN and I would recommend it. They charge by GB rather than by month. If you're an occasional user that works out cheaper than most, as the bandwidth you buy from AlwaysVPN never expires.
* If you need his reference and can't get a fair one in writing now, quit a.s.a.p. Otherwise the relationship would only get worse, and his reference in the future would only be more unfair.
* If you think there's a chance he won't pay you, tell him that you're not showing up tomorrow unless he starts to pay you IN ADVANCE (and any arrears cleared). In any case, do not stay any longer than the notice period you intended to serve.
* If indeed, after all, he doesn't pay you, I would advise you not to sue though, because that will be very expensive in comparison, and will only make the lawyers richer (if you like lawyers, do sue:-)

Who cares.
Of course the medical science will say that, they don't understand anything else.
You really have the habit of ==
My thoughts exactly. This question is stupid.
Seems that "endoderm" is wrongly spelled.

Today slashdot has let me down.
I second this answer. Being a programmer won't improve you. You can be as good as any doing what you do.

Dishwasha, I agree, that is the way forward (and I'm glad you've actually engaged with the question instead of deriding it as others have done).
This would be my advise:
