You must not fly out of the country much.
I am a dual citizen with the US and Colombia. I fly out of the US for work all over latin america. And i can tell you I will check my bags in the states and when I get to many airports in Latin America, I have to watch security digging through them. Just as I do when I fly back into the states.
Ahh,in case you did not know, he died two years ago.
As far as hacks go he was a Harvard MD and a his background was based in hard science.
Most people enjoy a happy ending with a problem solved.
Not everything has to play out like a French movie.
Actually,
There are grey legal areas in what your dad is trying to to do.
First your dual citizenship is grounded in the ffact that you have dual nationalities. A parent from each place.
However, if a US citizen applies for citizenship in another country, he can run the risk of losing his US citizenship.
You really need to have your father read this.

They played that song on college radio stations. I heard in Tulane's station WTUL all the time.
Plus the Video was shown on Night Flight in the states, probably every weekend night for 5 years.
I had three desktops in 2000.
1. A Pentium Pro 200 with 256 megs of Ram and a voodoo SLI set up. 2 SCSI 4 gig drives.
2. A Pentium 2 233 with 128 megs of ram with a 4 gig IDE, and a 12 meg nvdia card
3. An Athlon 800 with 128 megs of ram, and an Intel Video Card.
I think all three still had more power than a cell phones today.
I remember when I got my license when I was about 14-15 and was damn proud to get it. I had learned morse code in the Boy Scouts so that test was fairly easy.
I remember going to "Ham Fests" where you could buy any sort of electronic gizmo, whether for your ham radio, a box of floppies, home grown software, etc. I even bought a fairly powerful FM transmitter.
Taking the morse code out of it takes away the learning and the challenge, and also the feeling of accomplishment.
Please define much of South America. As someone who is a citizen of Colombia and Panama, who lives in Colombia I would like to know that other places other than Chile or Peru that can be defined as the lands of oppurtunity.
There is such a seperation of the poor in the rich in these countries that unless you have money, a family name, etc there is nothing. Which is a shame for countries so full of natural resources.
A real geek would know that Intel still hards a license to manfacturer Arm processors, and the Xscale was just that befor they sold it to Marvel, and that Intel is no stranger to the technology, as they developed a great deal of it when the won the intellectual property in a lawsuit, many moons ago.
Never discount Intel, they rest on their laurels and then come from behind hit one out of the park.
Other than the Desktar issue with a few certain lines, IBM had made some of the best hard drives ever. I have a 10 meg one in an xt that fires up.
Maxtor made some quite shitty drives way back when.
Then there was the Quantam Fireball.
Seagate has made some pretty solid drives in the last ten years.
However, the Conner drives from the cofounder of Seagate are hands down the worst HDs ever made in the last 20 years.
Connor actually tape to hold the drive lid in place, instead of bolts.
You mean the phone that sold 110 million units in its first for years?
It was a great simple,slim phone, when it came out.
You need to really hand it your geek card.
Plus, there was a day when everything thing that was Motorola mean quality.
Also they made the first phone with Itunes, that Apple designed and crippled.
LG? You mean the revised the Gold Star that was known for crap electronics for years?
I have an old great uncle in South Carolina, mid 80s. For years he has had me assemble or point him in the direction when he buys himself new computers or gadgets.
And he is amazingly adept with them.
Turns out my quiet old uncle was a brilliant cryptologist in the OSS.
He told me they retired him quietly in his 30's with a big fat pensions, and he has been doing nothing and growing peaches ever since. And when he says it his eyes twinkle.

Thank you sir!
Haldeman actually saw combat and was wounded. He knew war from the trenches, firsthand. And it tempered his writing and his humanity.
Heinlein was brilliant, understood war, and while an admiral, was in the rear with the gear.
Both great authors but I find as a get older I enjoy rereading Haldeman more.
Though Time Enough for Love still brings a tear to my eye.

Spanish as in Mexican? Spanish denotes being born in Spain, or having parents from Spain.

Really, I just bought a dell Vosotro Laptop with a Mini thrown in. Total cost with shipping for both items was 600 bucks.

There is nothing cheap in San Fran other than Chinese food.
For big business IBM always made quality hardware and software, and although pricey, you could always count on them for repairs and support.

You have never lived in another country I take it. Many south american countries will take a finger print when you open an account and cash a check.

You were able to to buy a 10 meg ram drive in the late 1980s and do this, so this is nothing new. You just are.
Dave Schroeder is that you?

You will see more Macs displayed prominently in movies that you will PC's.
And after the subsequent unsafe safe, pregnancy, and abortion the father had no right to get pissed.
Your friend is just dumb.
When I was 23 and in college I met a girl who was 17 in a class. We were assigned as lab partners and it led to spending a lot of time together.
She was beautiful, mature, and a good match for me.
I refused to touch her and date her.
Her father showed up and my apartment one night with a six pack.
He said that he had a sad little girl at home because she liked a guy who did not like her back.
I told the dad it was not the case just the age difference and the law.
He cracked a beer and said he did not have a problem with the age difference but he laid down some ground rules.
1. Birth control - he did not want any grandkids just yet.
2. No drunken debauching outside of my apartment
3. Treat her well
He then went on to explain that he was 15 years older than his wife and they had gone through the same thing.
We finished the six pack and 10 minutes later after he left she showed up with an overnight bag and we ended up dating for 2 years.
But banging the sheriffs daughter is still a stupid decision unless you plan on marrying her. Daddy can always arrest you.
Plus he knocked her up.
Plus an abortion.
Your friend is a douchebag. The cop trusted the dude and he knocked her up and brought her DR Coathanger. No sympathy whatsoever.
