I seem to get a non-stop flow of Raider Troubles, Ghoul Problems, and Kidnapping missions--there seems to always be one or two that want my attention. They're kind of irritating, and I was curious if there's any downside to just ignoring them and letting them fail.
My settlement was attacked by some Raiders and my defenses took care of them along with some of my NPC's. It seems like the Raiders didn't make it through to any of the buildings. What happens when they do?  Can you lose your items if you stored them in a house?  Can the NPC's die?  Do the enemies destroy your buildings?
Making separate Python installation that can call ArcPy? I see a lot of Q&amp;As asking how you can create a separate Python installation (e.g. the Anaconda or Python XY distribution) that can use arcpy, while not 'breaking' the original ArcGIS python installation.  I had this same problem, and I think I have found a 'universal' solution. So far we have done this on about 8 computers at work and it all works fine.   How to install a separate Python distribution that can use ArcGIS? Man is sitting in his room and gets contradictory advice from two men from the future S1300I scanner issues under Ubuntu 16.04 using Sane In theory this scanner does work under Linux and Ubuntu.  I've found this document that I tried to follow.    I install sane, copy firmware, confirm the location in the config etc.  Everything looks good.  Potential problem areas  sudo sane-find-scanner   output:  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.  found SCSI processor "Marvell 91xx Config 1.01" at /dev/sg5 # Your SCSI scanner was detected.

Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program.   Okay.  So the scanner is detected and listed, it prints a bunch of extra noise that   # scanimage -L  No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).   Okay, let's verify the firmware files:  ls -lh  /usr/share/sane/epjitsu  total 136K -rw-r----- 1 root root 65K Jan  1 17:49 1300_0C26.nal -rw-r----- 1 root root 65K Jan  1 17:49 300_0C00.nal   Looking at the configuration file: (snippets)  # Fujitsu S300 firmware /usr/share/sane/epjitsu/300_0C00.nal usb 0x04c5 0x1156  # Fujitsu S1300 firmware /usr/share/sane/epjitsu/1300_0C26.nal usb 0x04c5 0x11ed   Last thing I tried was to pull the line from sane-find-scanner and update the config  sane-find-scanner returns a different product ID.   I updated the config file above, restarted the sane service, I ran scanimage -L still, scanner not detected.  For reference I had this working on this same computer under a virtualbox VM.  If I can get it to work under windows that would be ideal.  Any suggestion would be much appreciated.    Update: I revisited the behavior after adding the 1300i firmware and it's still not working but.  Once in a while when I do run this is the output.  If I run it again it'll fail.  scanimage -L device `epjitsu:libusb:005:008' is a FUJITSU ScanSnap S1300i scanner   also sudo gscan2pdf and sudo simple-scan both fail to detect a scanner.  It fails with and without sudo permissions. So I was playing around on Area 51 hoping for further news on the private beta for ebooks, and noticed that my avatar (a hand) was missing. Also the Area 51 has the old toolbar. So I looked at the flair page. The network flair has my hand, the Area 51 flair has a quilt. OK, so time to upload a new image, and WordPress -- WordPress -- I don't want to login to WordPress. Any idea what's up with that?  The following questions did not help, and have different causes and symptoms: I know as a fact that I've gotten liquids larger than 3 ounces through the TSA scanner systems (such as sunscreen). I was scolded one time for bringing a shampoo container, but I was still ultimately allowed to bring that container through.  In any case, how often are liquids larger than 3 ounces ultimately confisticated, if I put them in a ziploc bag where they can be clearly seen? Including package to create MATLAB labels using LaTeX I am trying to understand how to see the total size of my hard drive &amp; how much is left. It was recommended on various searches to use the command below   df -h Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev            7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev tmpfs           1.6G  9.6M  1.6G   1% /run /dev/sda1       219G   29G  180G  14% / tmpfs           7.8G   18M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock tmpfs           7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup cgmfs           100K     0  100K   0% /run/cgmanager/fs tmpfs           1.6G   64K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000   However I don't understand any of these directories. I mean what are they, are these all directories or partitions or what? And why do they appear under "mounted on"? How does that bit work. I assume the /dev/sda1 is my solid state drive? So now if I install applications, which one of these directories does my software get installed  into? I assume it just gets installs in the / directory (I haven't even got a clue what the / directory is). Can someone explain what the other directories are and what they are used for? Is it possible to redirect connections to a specific IP/port to an external IP/port?  Example:   Server A has the external IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Server B has the external IP yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy User sends a request to server A on port 2106, I want to redirect it to server B at port 2106. How to permanently set environmental variables Say I want to automate making extruded-text or a 3d logo from an image.    An answer that uses extruding a monochrome image of the ubuntu logo to an arbitrary number of units with a python script taking only the number of units and the monochrome image as a starting point will receive extra this was awesome re-posts from me.  This could be useful for lots of things. Is there an AmpScript function that can be used in an equivalent manner to sql left, right and mid functions?   Thanks, Mark Shadows along edges of mesh in 3D View If $A/I \cong A/J$ as rings and $I\subseteq J,$ then $I=J.$ Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let $I$ and $J$ be ideals of $A.$  Suppose that $I\subseteq J$ and that $A/I \cong A/J$ as rings.  I want to prove that $I=J.$    Observations so far:  1) If we drop the hypothesis $I\subseteq J,$ then the result is false:  $$\mathbb{Q}[X,Y]/(X)\cong \mathbb{Q}[X,Y]/(Y) \text{ but } (X)\neq (Y).$$  2) If $A/I\cong A/J$ as $A$-modules, then $I=J$:  $$I=\mathrm{Ann}_A(A/I)=\mathrm{Ann}_A(A/J)=J.$$  I'm now a bit stuck as to how to proceed. Any hints would be most helpful!  Many thanks :) a) Give a combinatorial proof that for every $n \geq r \geq 1$ that:  $$\sum_{i = 0}^{n} \binom{i}{r - 1} = \binom{n + 1}{r}$$  And use (a) to concoct a formula for $1^2 + 2^2 + ... + n^2$ I understand there is a method for solving simultaneous modular equations. For example; $$x = 2 \mod{3}$$ $$x = 3 \mod{5}$$ $$x = 2 \mod{7}$$ We find numbers equal to the product of every given modulo except one of them - giving $5 \cdot 7$, $3 \cdot 7$ and $3 \cdot 5$. We then find the multiplicative inverses of these numbers with modulo equal to the number missing from the product. The numbers found are then 2, 1 and 1 in this case. The value of x is then given by: $$x = 2 \cdot (5 \cdot 7) \cdot 2 + 3 \cdot (3 \cdot 7) \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot (3 \cdot 5) \cdot 1 = 233 = 23 \mod{3\cdot5\cdot7}$$  But I do not understand how this method correctly gives the value of $x$. I understand that the Chinese remainder theorem proves that there is a unique value of $0\le x \lt 3\cdot5\cdot7 \mod{3\cdot5\cdot7}$ but can someone please explain why this method finds this value of x? I'm trying to setup my multi-finger tap in the following way:   Single finger - Left click Two fingers - Middle click Three fingers - Right click   What I currently have is:   Single finger - Left click Two fingers - Right click Three fingers - none   I've looked up several questions here on Ask Ubuntu, as well as the Ubuntu wiki on the subject (plus some general Google searching), but couldn't find anything to help me out. I know of xinput, but I don't know what to change there and how.  If anyone is able to point me to the right direction, I'd be grateful and award him with 25 shiny rep points, a large green tick mark, and some cookies. Do you ever center AND standardize variables in multiple regression? Do you ever center AND standardize variables in multiple regression? It seems as if standardization would automatically center variables...is this true? Prove equation with binomial coefficient How can I restrict a user on the SSH server to allow them only the privileges for ? i.e. So they cannot run commands even if they log in via SSH.  My Linux servers are Ubuntu 11.04 and OpenWrt. A guy scammed me, but he gave me a bank account number & routing number. Can I use that to take out what he owes me?
