I would hope we have something better to replace it with before then.

I am sure it's abysmal. We finally received a settlement for the damage done to our parking deck when an Amazon delivery driver drove into our bright yellow solid steel clearance bar. The driver left before the police showed up. Luckily we got the plate number.

If we're using that logic then there are also 9 Merlin engines on each Falcon 9 and 3 RS-25's on each shuttle.

I installed if for my daughter so she could complete her high school film project only after paying for a copy of Sony Vegas (school recommendation) that failed repeatedly to import her clips (mp4). OpenShot imported her clips flawlessly. Editing was also similar enough that she was able to easily figure it out. Multi-line title slides were a bit of challenge for her but she eventually figured it out. She, also wished she could name her cut/clips on the timeline for easy reference but she couldn't find any obvious way to do that. Overall it was a pleasant experience for her.

You already took the first step. Now take step 2 and call someone who can help you. You can get through this.

I have been looking into it. From what I can tell the only way it would be profitable is with a custom ASIC. Something like http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/

The problem I see is that it says 10GB for $10 a month. If you have DSL from AT&T you get 150GB for about $30 a month. The same 150GB through FreedomPop would cost $150 a month. They're legit if you don't mind paying a premium.

I am not sure how I feel about this. A domain name implies ownership of the site.

It's kind of like reverse domain hijacking.

Am I missing something?
