Well, UNIX is programmed mostly in C.

C was invented to program UNIX.

Basically, without C, there'd be no UNIX. Without UNIX, there probably wouldn't have been a C language.

...Of course, if your son is knowledgable about computers, he may already know how to reset a BIOS password jumper.

My Advice: Have a BIOS password. Have a Windows password. Lock the keyboard in a gun safe when it's not being used, and lock the door of the room containing the keyboard.

...Have you thought about bridging, as opposed to routing?

With bridging, you join to segments together, sort of like a router. But, with a bridge, you can have all of the machines on the same logical subnet.

The cool thing about it is that you don't have to tell the machines on the LAN about the bridge-- it's all transparent. If you're worried about network traffic, all of your traffic would be kept in the garage, seperated from the rest of the house.

Linux can do this, any *BSD can do it, and Windows 2000/XP can do it, too.

ummm... are we sure this is an interview? This sounds more like a homework assignment to me... Who's doing the interviewing?

What OS are you running?
