When Louisiana upgraded our voting machines, we sold our old voting machines to Mexico. Let me tell you, the Mexicans were really pissed when Edwin Edwards won the election for President of Mexico!
Don't believe all the bad things you have read about Lousiana politics. In all reality, it is much much worse!
We had a college intern who worked for the same company I did each summer. Every year he seemed to get better and better at IT/Tech. Then he got a gf, and all his progress calm to a halt.
Once you get a gf, your tech progress stops, and you will be at that level for the rest of your life. Just make sure it is high enough to earn a living. Yeah, I could have been an uber-geek, but I traded it all away for some sex. *wink*
You do not have to be a top coder to help develop Linux. The top developers have the skill sets needed to write and manage code. These talents are needed. The top developers can mentor the next generation/level of talent and raise them up to a higher level. This helps to ensure quality and continuation of so many great projects past the time when the original "guru(s)" have moved on to their next itch.
Everyone can help in some way. The newbies who read the "Linux Recipes" online and point out areas of confusion are helping. I would even dare say the "Grammar Nazi" who helps correct documentation helps too.
I wish I could find the text of what Pinocchio said in Shrek 3. You could spend hours trying to build a truth table out of it to determine if he was lying or not.
Race and Gender are what I would call "class limiting" factors. They can deny you entry to certain social classes that you otherwise have the "requirements" for.
I know what it is like to be limited by one of these factors. I live in the rural southern part of the US. Many people have difficulty accepting that I have technical skills due to my geographic location. All one can do is to work with what you are given. To some I can prove that I am capable. Those who can never be convinced otherwise are not worth the hassle or concern.
Over a decade ago, we were cleaning out a science classroom and found some. It is amazing how far you can sling that part in the middle with a simple flick of the wrist!
Guess what we did with the 8-tracks we found? Hint, it involved a bicycle...
Colony: NASA, we have a priority 1 distress call. NASA: Is it your life support system? Colony: No worse, our WOW server is down, repeat, our WOW server is DOWN!!!!
... If you are lucky, you will find out they really aren't your relatives after all, and that your parents kidnapped you from your real parents, who are super mega rich.
Unfortunately, I look so much like my parents, I don't have much hope...
would bring the dating pool closer. All you have to do then is find a way for it to be acceptable for the females to be drunk enough at work to consider dating you.

... and I positively never agree to discuss the remote chance that I voted in the extreme negative for George W Bush in the last election.

Just send some hardy plants/seeds/spores on a probe.
All you need to do to plant them is to hire the right caliber contractor to handle the landing...
There is plenty of experience in this area already.
I would call my new world, the DOT MATRIX!
They get to use the teleportation system first, cause they wear the sexy outfits the Captain likes!
