Looks like the proliferation of Kickstarter games has started trickling down to related projects.
For example, somebody made meeple pillows (Meepillows) and put them on Kickstarter: The project exceeded its five-figure goal in under three days. And per Kikcktraq, its trending to over $80,000. (https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/faust1138/meepillows-an-assortment-of-colorful-large-plush-m/)
So now we're talking almost six figures worth of demand for game-related pillows, which leads me to think there may be six-figure demand for other game-related projects as well. Would other pillow projects bring in six figures? Maybe at this point they would!
Actual former insurance adjuster here - automobile property damage claims. I would think a drone would be sufficient for initial appraisals.
Here's how it works for auto claims - an appraiser makes a fairly cursory initial inspection of VISIBLE damage. They don't (usually) pop the hood, they don't (usually) lift the car up. They walk around the car wherever it is parked, note down what they see, and do an initial estimate.
Now, maybe four times out of five, when the actual repair work is done, additional damage is found. Like, the mechanic pops off the old bumper and finds some crushed pins, something like this. A supplemental appraisal is then generated - that's where you get the actual, and most likely final cost of the repair work. I've seen cases where a third supplement gets generated, but that was fairly uncommon in my experience.
I can't read the story - it is already Slashdotted.
But Arch is notorious for breakage. Lots of it.
I tried Arch myself on my own laptop for about a year. There were at least a dozen times where running what should have been a simple system update rendered things unusable. Sometimes it was just a few simple programs that ceased to function. Sometimes it was X itself failing to launch, leaving me at a command prompt. All of it took a fair amount of fiddling to fix, and eventually I got tired of it.
I switched over to Manjaro. The same laptop has been running that for at least two years now and hasn't had a single instance of breakage.
My long-term data is kept on NAS4Free box running ZFS RAID1.
If any piece of hardware fails, I can replace it and be right back in business. Nobody is going to hack into it. If I lose internet connectivity in any way, I still have full access.
Still no consumer-level octo-core? I'll continue to stick with my Q9450 then. I'm not willing to spend thousands on a Xeon.
Before you ask, I do video work as a hobby. I often utilize all four of my cores at 100% capacity for 6+ hours on end when performing filtering and encoding. No, I am not interested in the AMD FX and their half-cores.
Get it together, Intel. I will buy as soon as you sell.
It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Apache is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Apache community when IDC confirmed that Apache market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Apache has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Apache is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict Apache's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Apache faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Apache because Apache is dying. Things are looking very bad for Apache. As many of us are already aware, Apache continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
You are an idol on 4chan's technology board,/g/, including an iconographic picture of you in that board's sticky. At one point you've even addressed us, or at least some common misconceptions circulated on 4chan (http://stallman.org/to-4chan.html).
Do you read 4chan at all? How did we come to your attention? Are you okay with your demigod status there?

All major surveys show that Apache has steadily declined in market share. Apache is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Apache is to survive at all it will be among web server dilettante dabblers. Apache continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save Apache from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Apache is dead.

Look, you got caught cheating. We get it. I suggest you make the best of it and move on.

Oh sure, because THAT'S convenient to remember.
"When Linux kernel 4.1 is released, it will become the LTS version of 2015 and the most advanced long-term support release."
But... it HAS been released. I'm using it. Right now. As I type this.
Glorious exposition, comrade!

Why would I pay $500 for this when I can pay literally under $50 for a VGA projector on Amazon?
I assume that Roblimo is invested in this somehow?
Why would you suggest PIG DISGUSTING closed source software when there are so many quality open-source solutions, including:
Deluge
QBittorrent
Transmission
Arch and its derivatives use SystemD too.

There's a pretty solid (if somewhat offensive) guide for noobs on 4chan's /g/ (technology) Wiki:

Oh, you mean like Nickelback?
Its based out of the US and A.
As such, I have to assume it is pre-backdoored.
My mail server is set to reject anything without a FQDN (a fully qualified domain name). Do you have one of those?
You've set up SPF, but have you set up DKIM? If not, do so. DMARC too while you're at it.
Pale Moon has been available in x64 for a long time now, and doesn't have advertisements bundled into it.
I'll just stay put.
I just love the classic Atari 2600 box art! I would love to buy an artbook of it - possibly posters and/or shirts as well.
A government spying on another government = okay
A government spying on another country's people = not okay
A government spying on its own people = OMGWTFBBQ

NOPE. Not interested.

But a piece of paper appears to have three dimensions.
Even when you look at it edge-on.
So it is still totally incorrect to call a piece of paper two-dimensional.

That's like arguing that I am an ox because I use a tractor to plow my field rather than do it all by hand.
