    Well, since OpenBSD was originally forked off of NetBSD after Theo got kicked out, I would consider OpenBSD more nerdy!

    I don't see this as necessarily being anti-green. Certainly a project care isn't going to be your every day commuter, just something you take out on evenings/weekends for the fun of it. Plus, the energy to build the damn thing has been already been spent long ago. I would argue that taking the family via airline to Hawaii has a much larger impact than wrenching on an old car and going joy-riding. Or I'm trying to justify my love of wrenching on old cars.

    It's not often the choice of the teacher. If the district or state/federal government mandate a curriculum, there's not much the individual teacher can do.

    Exactly the same experience here. I spent years doing more IT/sysadmin type work, and am coming up on my first year in the so-called "Big Data" industry. It's a huge market that's mostly under-served by existing vendors.

    There's stuff out there for iOS and Android that you can tweak to your own application For Android, there's osmdroid. MapBox has an SDK out there as well for iOS. There's others, but hell if I can think of em off-hand right now.

  24. Re: good ground connection on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Heavy-Duty, Full-Home Surge Protection? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The NEC these days has you drive a 6'-8' ground rod underneath the panel at the service entrance, bonded to the panel. You ALSO have to run bare copper back to the service entrance for water, and bond to that as well. In case one or the other fails, you still have a reliable path to ground. It's not simply a matter of bonding to grounds though. The panel itself needs to include a bus bar for tying all the individual grounds together, and providing a path to both both bonded ground points. So now you're basically looking at a service change, replacing the panel, meter, and mast (if applicable). It's not horribly expensive, but it's not cheap either (I used to do em for around $5k-10$k depending on the job, but that was years ago).
