Every so often, someone around here refers to becoming an officially
registered devloper. I had a couple of questions about this:

1] Registered with what/whom?

2] What do you get for being registered?

3] What do you have to give to be registered?

4] What is the overall point? Is this something that makes random hacking
  more "legitimate"? Does it earn money? Does it give you access to some
  otherwise secret sources of information about the computer? Will it
  enhance your sex drive? (etc...)

(Note: If it sounds good, I might be very interested in such a status. As
 a mildly serious programmer, I could use some weird status. I mean, I would
 *like* to be able to tell my friends "hey, I'm a *DEVELOPER*"... Of course,
 two-thirds of them would say "great, I've got negatives..." but hey...
 Egotism is as deadly as anything else ;-) )

Trivia question for the day: What is the *sole* functional difference
  between:
for(i = 0;i < 20;++i) {
 <some loop>
}
  and
i=0;
while(i < 20) {
 <some loop, same as above>
 ++i;
}
(I got the question from a friend a while back. I think it's sorta neat.)
