One thing that works for me is setting up scripts using arandr for each display config. Then before undocking I open a terminal fullscreen and run the script for the post-docking config. The script pauses when asking for my password. I then undock the laptop and open it and type my password. The laptop screen wakes up no problem. I do the same thing when I want to dock it. This is definitely more annoying than things happening automatically, but less annoying than rebooting.

Send me an email, my info is in my profile. I have a need for someone with your skills. Location doesn't matter, but I'd like to see what you've done before and if you're interested in what I have to offer. Thanks.

rename it to porter.js
porters are delicious beers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_%28beer%29) and porters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_%28carrier%29 , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_%28railroad%29) help everyone get things done.

OWASP is a good place to start that covers most everything
Specifically the development guide: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Guide_Project

Its not that there's no money. Its that there's no cost effective way for small organizations to negotiate the contract discovery, bidding, and award process

You could run a Tor exit node:

I thought Microsoft's BizSpark program was designed just for you.

I think they use this:
http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/sha-crypt.html
which the version of crypt(3) in glibc. It is almost the same as bcrypt. One difference is that it uses SHA256 or SHA512 instead of Blowfish. But that implementation has the same ability to expand the work factor like bcrypt.
So I'd say that the algorithm they're using is slow and is designed to be slow

The C reference implementation is here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/crypt/
Its from OpenBSD and implemented by the developers of the algorithm. It is what the Python/Ruby/Lisp/PHP etc. versions are derived from or wrap

Yeah your situation right now sounds awful. Its tough to be under-appreciated by people whom you're trying to help. Here are a few things to try.
0. Put your email in your profile so people can email you suggestions/work/jobs privately.
1. Get ANY locally available job just to get out of the house regularly and interact with people and start earning some $. Then start looking for something you like or enjoy etc. Do you have any skills people buy on ODesk or other places?
2. Start exercising daily. Don't need a gym membership to be effective. Google "body weight exercises."
3. Spend some time (an hour-ish doesn't have to be continuous) outside every day. It can be anything but you could walk dogs for a nearby humane shelter or whatever.
4. What area? I assume USA. How close to an "active" area? Or at least a not-dead-area? The local guys probably aren't against it but more likely have no idea how to start/be successful and don't want to look foolish or fail.
5. If you don't have on spend $5 and get an account on ask.metafilter.com and ask specific questions about your parents anonymously to a wider audience than HN.
6. Maybe this can give you some concrete ideas the local guys can understand: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2566026

I've been a bike commuter for a decade.
I'd go back to Metro Bicycles (http://www.metrobicycles.com/) if I needed another bike in NYC. I bought a Dahon Speed D7 (http://us.dahon.com/bikes/1728/speed-d7) folding bike from them a few years ago. Its cheap ($500 so I didn't worry about it getting stolen), adjustable (so I could easily change riding positions as necessary/sore) and fit easily in the apartment I was living in at the time.
As for accessories get this: http://www.strava.com/ for geeking out and a U-lock with cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/Avenir-Standard-U-Lock-Cable-Lock/dp/B... for security. The cable makes the u-lock more useful and most lock companies will insure the bike theft if you are using their lock when its stolen up to a certion $ amount.
Don't worry about flats etc because there are enough shops around to fix them within an easy walking distance. All the gear you strap to the bike is just something you'll have to replace once it gets stolen (either the bike or just the stuff on it) or falls off while cruising through town.
Also JWZ has some solid recommendations here:
