Pick up "The C Programming Language", will give him a solid base to work off which is really the important part ... language is less important. But speaking as someone who learned perl first and went back to work with C, C++, and Java later I wish someone had me learn those first before moving on to others, going the other direction tends to make people stubborn and lazy ( and i will avoid the python topic like the plague since i am not sure if people are trolling or actually believe that it is a good place to start ).

This far into a post about sickness in Oregon and there have been no comments about dysentery or loss of oxen ... thought it was just an odd day in the office, not on /. too.

Don't they have anything better to do?

I wonder what DHS(or CIA, NSA, etc) would do to it...

1) When the jackass that couldn't secure the system gets fired, the kid is given the first chance to take that job
and/or
2) The kid should be given a scholarship to the school of his/her choice as long as they are going for a C.S. ( or related ) degree

what happens to the future sys admins, programmers, and IT security people when everything becomes punishable by fines and jail time?

if i was responsible for a schools network i would throw a challenge down to the students to attempt to hack it when ever they get a chance ... it would make me a better admin, and it would make them learn skills that can be used later on.

next step: we arrest anyone that likes shop class or chemistry ... they could be supporting the terrorists in the future.
