A buddy of mine uses his concealed carry permit... seems to me that would work great for the trusted traveler program. Most states already have a process for obtaining one (realistic or not), and after fingerprinting and both state and FBI background checks, well... you prolly aren't a terrorist.
And in the same area, what about things that are popular that people *don't* know are open source, like the older Quake engines (classic, Q2, and Q3 are all open source)
Having just got my first smart phone and being on AT&T, the *very first* message AT&T sent had "reply with stop to end automatic messages" at the end of it... as have the other 3 I've gotten since (haven't told them to stop, so I'm good with that part).
BOSTON - National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily." Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government's plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington's town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces overmatched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as "ringleaders" of the extremist faction, remain at large.
Classicness - Gradnpa's or Dad's watch (smuggled in teh azz of a fellow soldier for many years as a POW, etc). I've got my Dad's that he bought in Zurich before he left the service in ww2.
Correctness - In my '65 Porsche I want an mp3 player since my original radio is AM/FW/SW and not the worlds best. Speakers are easy, there are some cheap radio shack ones that are 6v and the right size to put in. I've got an original radio, and I plan on gutting it and putting a mp3 player board similar to this one into the guts of it. The preset knobs could still be used to shuffle forward/back/etc wtih a little work.
I used to do one with the Iraqi Information Officer (Baghdad Bob) proclaiming that no such file exists, and if it did exist, it had never existed in that particular location.
First one - "you're two weeks late, if baby don't come on its own in 3 days we will induce". 3 days later, induced, 18 hours after that no baby, c-section
Second - scheduled c-section 'cause of the first one. Date doc picked was Jan 2, I asked for a tad earlier due to work time off and tax benefits and the doc had no issues changing to 12/29. Still full term (39 weeks in the oven).
Third - again, scheduled c-section, doc picks the week after thanks giving, i ask to move up a week due to work scheduling, vacation, etc. Again, still full term (39 in the oven).
What was funny/scary was the amount of calls coming in after our second was born w/ docs and patients seeing if rooms were available to birth on/before 12/31 - for the tax benefits.
Yup, a friend suffers from them, and one of his triggers is narcotics. SOP for him is to hit the ER, referr them to his chart and standing orders, then hit gets hit wtih a dose of Demerol big enough to put him out long enough for the headache cycle to break. Just "a little" demerol just spawns more headaches for him.
Driving us here in education crazy - most of the learning management systems will "certify" a browser version for use on their various platform versions. And most promise to support within 3-6 months of release.
I'm in the same camp but instead of doing anything but the code writing I give a mockup of the output to the graphic design guys and they make it pretty. I then use their pretty as a template for the code to feed into.
To be fair, AI isn't required to beat the original quarter sucking machine - simply memorize the map patterns. Heck I remember buying a book that had the patters for all of the levels when I was a young lad...
Back in the "Good Old Days" each nation had a racing color associated with it - British Racing Green, etc. Germany had white IIRC. Anyway, gearing up for a race, the MB team found that their car weight too much by a few pounds/kilos. Checkign the rules, they saw that if the car was painted it had to be the national color. No requirements to be painted. So they stripped off all the paint, saving about 30lbs in weight. Which is why so many German race cars were silver in the 50s and 60s - bare metal, no paint.
Of course, this assumes that your salt and hashing scheme (pw first, then salt, or salt first then pw?) isn't stored in plain text files - like PHP scripts, etc.
Even if your salt string isn't stored and changes for every password, if how you compute the salted string to be hashed is visible in code, then it doesn't really matter....
Unfortunately, I can see where a comment like "no torrent?!?" makes sense - someone appreciates that it is being shared, and would like to help take a small fraction of the load/cost away from the source, even if they never plan to use the materials themselves.
For example, I have no plan on upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, but I torrented it to upload 20gb of each cd on the release day - I have the bandwidth/resources, and it was a way of giving back. Not planning on running Slackware again anytime soon, but I torrented it for a while too when 13.37 was released.
Honestly though office skills will be useful no matter what field the kid ends up in, so that should be first. Google-fu as well. Those are skills needed whether you get an AC certificate from your local commercial vo-tech place, or go on to CS at top tier colleges.
But as others have said, once the basics of *use* are there, start 'em with a programming language.

I figure that too, which is why I point ad servers (especially slow ones!) to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file.
The regs say "a state issued photo id".

Got me to learn about user created functions much quicker than the artificial limits imposed by goto w/ line number.

3 kids, all "scheduled" births.
First one - "you're two weeks late, if baby don't come on its own in 3 days we will induce". 3 days later, induced, 18 hours after that no baby, c-section
Second - scheduled c-section 'cause of the first one. Date doc picked was Jan 2, I asked for a tad earlier due to work time off and tax benefits and the doc had no issues changing to 12/29. Still full term (39 weeks in the oven).

Which one didn't offer you a job or allow you to buy stock in the IPO?

Works much better, and looks much better too.

As a long time WebCT and Angel admin I find it suprising that BB actually fixed a bug ...
Not just aircraft paint - paint in general.

Unfortunately, there is no perceived glory in writing docs - of any kind.
Throw in some copyright violation too...
Me too. When I got my first P2 box many moons ago (late '98?) I put DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 on it , and it was *blazing* fast.
