They don't seem to offer a model with GigE. That's an abject failure, today. Anything contemporary and not heinously expensive?

FWIW, I'm using a C2D PC with 1xGigE, and a QFE card for routing and some ethernet ports, and 5-port switches on both the GigE and 100Mbps segments, then a Mikrotik Routerboard (411, IIRC) running OpenWRT to handle the WiFi. The total cost is somewhere around $120, but it does dramatically more...

If the idea is to make it available to students, then it should be on campus.

It shouldn't be anywhere near the library, because it will be noisy if it's any good.

Fukushima had three problems. One, design. The design is very old and not very good by modern standards. Two, siting. It was put somewhere even ancient Japanese knew was a bad idea. Three, NIMBY. Area residents didn't want to look at generators on pylons.

It's what I said. That's why my name is at the top of it. Your part is indented, you should know how this works by now.

You DID say that software documentation was less important than writing code. For non-trivial projects, it's an absolute necessity. Sometimes, it's better to write the documentation first, then the implementation. But you don't care - "It's not my job. My time is too valuable."

Good documentation, done either before or concurrently, shortens the time needed to code it right, and often leads to getting it right the first time. It should also make it clear what the edge cases are and how they are handled, because a cryptic error code isn't enough.

And yet it works. They learn 2 important lessons - life isn't always about what's fair, and if someone is screwing it up for everyone, just wait until recess to "discuss" the problem. Peer pressure, pure and simple.

There's the problem - the school district won't allow failing grades. In my day, it was my parents who didn't allow failing grades.
