Thanks for explaining to a Greek guy like me what this "Burning Man" happening is: a nudists' camp for "geeks" in the middle of the desert so no black people can come to mess things up...

True enough, but the Burning Man environment has one great advantage for nerds: it's an ultimate test of hardware reliability for your project. If the tech product you're about to introduce will survive BM, it will work in any home or business.
