Here's the deal. Post a program that does these three things:
1. Asks user for his/her name
2. Stores the name in some variable.
3. Print "Hello, " [the user's name, replace with the name] " welcome to DIC" or Dream.In.Code or something to the effect.
ANY programing language and library combination is allowed (i.e. C++, C/Ncurses, Python, Qt). GUI allowed. If you're not sure users wold know, post short instructions on how to compile/run. I'll start with a C++ implementation using the C++ standard library:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string a;
  cout << "Type your name: ";
  getline(cin, a);
  cout << "Hello, " << a << ". Welcome to Dream.In.Code\n";
  return 0;
}

Please make sure the code works before posting.

Simply place in a C# console application

public static void Main()
{
	Console.WriteLine("Please enter your name...");
	string name = Console.ReadLine();
	Console.WriteLine("Hello " + name + ", Welcome to Dream.In.Code");
}

Good one PsychoCoder, I'll get this into Mono ('cause I don't use Window$).

[JackOfAllTrades]

BASH/sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo -n "Enter your name: "
read name
echo "Hello $name, Welcome to Dream.In.Code"

Python:

#!/usr/bin/env python

name = raw_input("Enter your name: ")
print "Hello " + name + ", Welcome to Dream.In.Code"

[AdamSpeight2008]

Console App in VB.Net

Module Module1
 Sub Main()
  Console.WriteLine("Please enter your name...")
  Console.WriteLine("Hello {0} Welcome to Dream.In.Code", Console.ReadLine)
 End Sub
End Module

[krzysz00]

Okay, you made me do this...
Common Lisp:

(defun mk-prompt (string)
  (format *query-io* string)
  (read-line *query-io*)
)
(defvar name (mk-prompt "What's your name: "))
(format t "Hello ~a, welcome to DIC" name)

EAT THAT!

Don't forget you CAN make a GUI or use some library! MORE less well known languages PLEASE!

[PsychoCoder]

Here's a welcome in Haskell

main = do
   putStrLn "Please enter your name..."
   name <- getLine
   putStrLn ("Hello " ++ name ++ ", Welcome to Dream.In.Code")

Ruby with Qt 4:

bin/env ruby
require 'Qt4'

include Qt
class Dic < Qt::Widget
  slots 'mesg()'
  def initialize(parent = nil)
	super()
	label = Qt::Label.new(tr('Hi. What\'s your name'), self)
	@text = Qt::LineEdit.new(tr(''), self)
	connect(@text, SIGNAL('returnPressed()'), self, SLOT('mesg()'))
	layout = Qt::VBoxLayout.new()
	layout.addWidget(label)
	layout.addWidget(@text)   
	setLayout(layout)
  end
  def mesg()
	name = @text.text()
	ret = MessageBox::warning(self, "Hi",
	tr("Hi, "+name+". Welcome to Dream.In.Code!"),
	MessageBox::Ok | MessageBox::Cancel,
	MessageBox::Ok)
	$qApp::quit()
  end
end

app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)

widget = Dic.new()
widget.setWindowTitle(Qt::Widget::tr("Hello DIC"))
widget.show()

app.exec()

First GUI app posted.

Perl

#Hello World in Perl
#Get the users name
#input
print "Please enter your name...";
$name = <STDIN>;
#output
print "Hello "
print $name;
print ", Welcome to Dream.In.Code\n";

In Java!

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Welcome {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		Scanner Input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Please enter your name: ");
		String name = Input.next();
		System.out.println("Hello " + name + " Welcome to Dream.In.Code!");
	}
}

btw, happy birthday to Dream.In.Code and greetings to all members of this helpful and warm community!

BASIC

10 name As String
20 Input "Please enter your name...", name
30 Print
40 Print "Hello "; name; ", Welcome to Dream.In.Code"
50 Sleep 
60 End

When I finish the RPN calculator I'm working on, I'm taking a crack as gas assembler. C'mon, beat me to it!!

My Java one is shorter than yours

import java.io.Console;
public class dic
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
	Console dream = new System.console();
	String line = dream.readLine("Type your name: ");
	echo.printf("You typed %s.%n", line);
	}
}

PHP! Pretty much the worst language to do this in...

<?php
if (isset($POST['submit'])) {
  echo "Hello, ".$_POST['name'].", welcome to DIC!";
}
else {
  echo '<form action="'.$_SERVER[php_self].'" method="post">
		   <h3>Type your name: </h3>
		   <input type="text" name="name" size="25">
		   <input type="submit" name="submit">
		   </form>';
}
?>
