This sounds not too different from what you might have a (small) group do to perform a project to complete their requirements for a Software Engineering curriculum (albeit over more than 1 semester).
If you've got 2 semesters or more to burn, after having all the fundamentals of languages and a course on basic software development, you could have a 2 semester SE project with multiple parties on the project. In order not to waste everyone's time, and create genuine risk for any of the student participants, each of the participants should have a solid CS background. Note that all students don't have to have all areas of expertise - but the combination of skill sets should cover the requirements for the project. Also, a two-stage system could be developed, where one team does (rigid, even formal) requirements and specifications, and the next group could schedule, control, and develop. This way a project could span 3-4 semesters with 2 teams. Further teams could do subsequent enhancements in much the same manner, and spirals, or incremental developments, and other models could be worked with.
A project doesn't have to be entirely in-house. An open-source project could be built upon. Sites like sourceforge might provide an excellent basis for ideas.
I didn't read the full item (RTFI...), but section 1a looks like it could be a problem for legitimate security professionals or network systems developers producing tools to mimic DOS attacks to test legitimate tools for defense or resistance to attack (such as routers or firewalls), or traffic-load/generation tools - for example, tools to exercise web sites to determine the traffic they can withstand before being put online...
I remember Comcast's adds encouraging people to "drop the dish" or something like that... What's funny is that I've driven by Comcast facilities... They use multiple satellite dishes. Looks like they get their signals from Satellite and then send the signals over their own ground-based network...... In that context, they should be pretty careful about criticizing dish-based reception.....
This is not everything, but this type of phone might help- It is normally meant for kids, but it has reduced number of buttons, and a dedicated emergency button...
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controlle r?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedP honeId=2060 from the site- Migo from Verizon Wireless is a kid-friendly wireless phone that lets parents and kids stay in touch. It's fun for them, and added peace of mind for you. The Migo phone has a simplified keypad that allows you to program in 4 numbers, an incredible speakerphone and a dedicated emergency key. And with Chaperonesm, you can use your handset or PC to locate your child's Migo. This is the perfect phone to keep kids and parents connected.
Note: I have no interests / investments / work relationship with verizon wireless.
The basis for double-encryption to be (potentially, depending on algorithm, keyspace, rotations / transformations applied, etc...) is that some of the transformations may be undone by the second application of the encryption algorithm.

This could be wrong, and it could be like trying to kill an ant with a sledgehammer, but here's a possible approach. A program like photoshop with lug-ins and image processing / manipulation capabilities may do the job.
Scan an image, and using a combination of options such as color-reduction, "mattisify" (or others, e.g. Bas-Relief, etc), etc... may produce an acceptable result.
"What is it with Windows and legacy support, anyway? Only in the Windows world (it seems) do you get a significant number of people who stubornly refuse to give up their applications and OS from 1995."
Actually, I will be keeping around at least one hard drive with Windows 98 indefinitely. One application that I use prints images / photos onto a Polaroid Spectra Printer (onto Polaroid instant media). I just like Polaroid prints for a number of reasons.
However, this is legacy hardware, and there will be no new drivers released from Polaroid. I can throw out the Polaroid printer, or keep an old box around.
Sometimes, if there's a device that's not kept current with drivers, you can either throw it out, or keep an old O/S around... That alone can be another reason to keep the old OS...
I'd rather someone learn the history of computing - from counting knots on ropes to the history of geometry and basic measuring devices, through to the modern era and techniques.
Learn math properly, with history, and you can develop a great sense of how things can and should work - this can be a great foundation.
Beyond this, I don't think that learning any one technology or processor - based system is vital. What is key is being given an environment - an assembly language, a LOGO, BASIC, C, JAVA, etc..., and being able to play and experiment.
You need to play a game where money is not a factor. Like, Polo. With a buy-in in the multi-million dollar range for a decent day-to-day selection of horses, grounds fees, and to cover vet bills, you can get rid of all the pesky dollar-competitive issues you have in golf.
Not that I'm playing much polo - I'm still saving up for the Polo shirts;-)

You did better than I did.
I asked for a paper ballot (twice).
They didn't have any - I was pointed to the machine....

There is some information here : http://davesource.com/Fringe/Fringe/Hacking/Crypto graphy/Encryption_Class/class1
for more information, google on 2DES and weaknesses.

Not for me. ;-)
I need my COBOL
You can use a 1U Rackmount KVM Switch.

There are also things like this:

which is a 1U slide-out tray with LCD with built-in KVM switch. Big space-saver.

I had someone come up on my access point, and also wrote it up.
My approach was a little different.

Where else but slashdot ?
Oy !
yes
Top five programmers in the Universe?
,but yes - I did read the math)
I start thinking of names...
Djikstra...
Knuth....
Turing... (OK - the implementation wasn't totally there yet
Kernighan / Richie / others...
What names do you come up with ?
You're right - I may just do that. I've been thinking of using VMWARE, but you just added an option for me.
Thanks--
