    1. @ceruleanspark Is that your fund to summon the devil to unleash his dark havoc upon etcetera?

      1. @caberea I don't need a fund for that. Just virgins blood and I'm not going to pretend I have a shortage of that.

    3. @ceruleanspark A lamp with a LAMP stack. Oh well, I guess that's all I ever wanted to have.

      1. @omni "Moore’sCloud Light contains an embedded computer running Arch Linux, so all of the great tools and services you expect to make development easy - Apache, Python, ssh, the GNU toolchain, and everything else - are available." YEEEEEEESSSSSSS

        1. @omni I've backed it enough to get one, so I have a vested interest in seeing it funded.

          1. @ceruleanspark Do you get your money back if it doesn't reach enough funding?

            Wednesday, 24-Oct-12 20:59:21 UTC from web
            1. @omni They don't actually take the money from your account unless it's fully funded. Kickstarter is essentially a zero risk investment.

              1. @ceruleanspark donation*

                1. @jla It's not really a donation either, because you wouldn't get that back if they didn't make enough. Investment seemed like the best word to represent that proposition at hand.

                  1. @ceruleanspark But you don't invest in Kickstarter projects to make money, you only back them.

                    1. @jla I invested in this one because I have a vested interest in seeing the product make it to market. Namely the fact that I want one or more in my house.

            2. @omni and even if it is fully funded they don't charge you until the timer expires.

              1. @ceruleanspark The fact that they openly give the spreadsheets, showing their expected profit, use CC-licensed music and are planning to release everything under Open-Source licensing makes me want to back them so badly... I should really look into if I can afford it.
