Will take care of certs automatically. No muss no fuss.

setup.exe /product server works fine going back to 1st gen Core i-xxx CPUs

Sadly, my Core 2 Quad is left out in the cold.

It's already +5 Funny and I don't have mod points but if I did I'd burn them modding this up again anyway.

Apple already knew they needed to replace Classic Mac OS and had been trying unsuccessfully for years. That's when they decided to go with a pre-built solution and started looking at NextSTEP and BeOS. They picked NextSTEP and Steve brought the NextSTEP devs with him and overhauled both hardware and software in a remarkably short period of time.

But it didn't take Steve coming back for Apple to realize that Classic Mac OS was on it's last legs. The crazy amount of time and money Apple invested in replacing Mac OS, and failing to actually do so, is part of why they were near death in the first place.

Get off my lawn yadda yadda yadaa

OK, so $27.45 * 24 months is $658.80, that's $109.80 more expensive than the unlocked iPhone by itself. AppleCare+ is included, that's $99, so that brings the leasing premium down to $10.80 over the course of two years in Apple's pocket for financing the hardware. And then, halfway through the 24-month financing period, you get an upgrade to the latest device. Sounds legit to me, and a much better deal than carriers are offering.

If you purchased outright each year, you'd spend $648 the first year, $648 the second year, but get back approx. $300 for selling your previous-gen iPhone, bringing the total hardware cost over 2 years to $996.

This program also puts a whole lot more power into the hands of the consumer, as they are unlocked and can be used on any network. If more and more people are using unlocked phones, we might actually see some real competition in the wireless industry when it comes to things like customer service.

VirtualBox does have a headless mode, which is how I use it. Combine it with phpVirtualBox for a web-based front-end and you can admin from anywhere or any system.

Autostart, autosave, auto-snapshot, etc can be achieved with simple startup and cron scripts.

It's really up to the citizens to decide how they want to be governed.

This isn't actually true. Technically, you still need to own a copy of CS2 to legally use the software:

Will it work? Yes.

Are you supposed to do this if you don't own CS2? No.

It is ethical? That's for you to decide.

The first one that springs to mind is Cinelerra:

Honestly though no open-source solution is going to come CLOSE to Premiere. And since you can get Creative Cloud for $50/month, it isn't THAT big of an expenditure up-front, and if you're making money from the editing (and, if you're looking at a Premiere-level video editing platform, I would hope this would be something you're monetizing) $50/month isn't much to get all the tools you'd need for editing, compositing, graphic design, etc etc etc.

So, yeah, my suggestion is to find a way to afford $50/month for Creative Cloud, and barring that, check out Cinelerra.

I'd mod this Funny if I had points, but I don't, so I'll just say thanks for the laugh.

I want to see them resurrect Hulu Desktop and update it on all platforms. Hulu supported Linux, so I think maybe some of the folks on here might want to cut them some slack. Unfortunately, the most recent builds crash when going into full screen on recent releases of Ubuntu.

Will you marry me?

I submit to you that no one would die who otherwise would not have eventually.
