It can't run because your Mac Pro only has a 32-bit EFI. This is not an excuse for Apple for not making it work; I'm just noting the actual technical reasoning.
However, the simple workaround (if you have a Yosemite-compatible video card) that doesn't involve a Hackintosh-level install is to use a modified boot.efi file that thunks EFI64 calls from the 64-bit OS X kernel to the EFI32 firmware of your Pro. Look at the first post of this thread
Another simplified installation approach is to use a second Yosemite-supported Mac and install Yosemite to the 2006/2007 Mac Pro's drive. This may be done either by attaching the 2006/2007 Mac Pro's drive as an external drive by placing the 2006/2007 Mac Pro in target disk mode or otherwise mounting the 2006/2007 Mac Pro's drive to a Yosemite-supported Mac. Then, after installation, copy Pike's EFI32 boot.efi to that drive's/usr/standalone/i386 and/System/Library/CoreServices/ directories overwriting the stock Apple EFI64 boot.efi and repair permissions. That drive should now be bootable on a 2006/2007 Mac Pro
I'm typing this from my Mac Pro 1,1 (with an ATI Radeon HD 4870). I used a different Mac (recent Mac Mini) to install Yosemite to a drive, copied the updated boot.efi file, installed the drive into my Pro, and I've been good to go ever since.
This is perpetuated by a small percentage of vocal but talented programmers who, in fact, lack the skill to work with people whom them don't think are as brilliant as they are. This probably works fine in a startup. However, if you don't ever learn to work with people of varying skill-sets, you severely limit the types of jobs you can get later in your career.
Mod parent up. I use NFSN for my sites as well. I picked them for their hosting, and switched my domain registrations to them because I support their business model.
Of course much of this about Apple adopting webkit2 for Safari all pure speculation, but then it has to be when you are talking about a closed source product like Safari and don't work for Apple.
WebKit2 is already used for Safari (desktop). At some point in the future, it is presumed they'll use it for iOS Safari as well.
I still use the Classic Discussion System (D1) and have my Threshold set to 2 (sometimes I reset to 3 or 4 as well). How can I have the mobile site honor that preference?
Additionally, when you buy a brand-new iPhone today (regardless of 3GS, 4, or 4S), you're getting the latest version of iOS (5.1). When Android boasts of number-of-activiations-per-day, the vast majority of those phones *aren't* running the latest version of the Android OS.
The Aspire Revo 1600 does indeed work great. I didn't even have to muck around with Windows XP (not even uninstalling it). I used Wubi to install Ubuntu 9.11, added the xbmc repository, spent a few minutes on Google to find some configuration tweaks, and it displays 1080p video perfectly. Since I already have an old computer as a server, the Revo's gigabit ethernet means that I don't care about local disk space.
Can't wait for the next-gen hardware upgrade (fingers crossed for 32gb). I'll finally be able to replace my crappy phone and iPod Nano with an iPhone (just a mediocre phone, but that's fine by me).
Borodin: Do you think they will let me live in Montana? Ramius: I would think they'll let you live wherever you want. Borodin: [snip]...and I will have a pick-up truck, or umm... possibly even...a recreational vehicle, and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that? Ramius: Oh yes. Borodin: No papers?

Do you really think a starving farmer from somewhere in Iraq has even a common ground for a conversation with a fat redneck senator? Or a wallstreet broker? Or even a WalMart cleaner?
Yes. If both have familes, then chances are good that they want the same things for their families. They'd like to see their family members happy and healthy. They'd like to see their kids grow up, get a good education, learn a trade, and start their own families. All of the details (cultural, economic, or otherwise) are vastly different, but in the end, the core is the same.
Last year, I bought a used B&W G3 Tower on eBay (~$50). Added two 200GB drives into an external closure (that was something like this). Used OS X 10.4 to do software RAID. Wrote a simple shell script that runs once a day to email me if one of the drives goes bad ($> diskutil checkRAID). I back up files from my XP work laptop as well as my son's MacBook quite easily. And I can still SSH or VNC into the box when I'm not at home.
At some point when the G3 dies (I can connect the enclosure to any Mac running 10.4), I think I'll replace the G3 with a used Mac Mini - it will cut down on the electric bill and save some space, too.
Instead of Noscript and FlashBlock, I use Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and install the IE View Lite extension (among others, like AdBlock Plus). By default, there's no Flash plugin in this version of Firefox, so everything is just fine and dandy. When I need to view a page that has Flash (for me, specifically, that's a handful of sites, like YouTube), I just use IE View Lite to open that single page or link in Internet Explorer.
as they either have iPod's (both Mac and Windows users), or use Mac-specific software (iLife), or Windows-specific software (games). The only person whom I personally know that could get away with that is my mother (email-only), but she's got my old CRT-based iMac, and she's perfectly happy with Mail.app.
Personally I wonder if your son will have the technical skills to compete in an information society.
So, because (at 6th grade) my son watches much less TV than his peers, hardly plays video games, he's going to be at a disadvantage? Even though he uses computers for writing papers, doing research, sending email, reads a lot of books, and gets good grades? You either don't have kids, or your kids are going to have a hard time adjusting to life outside of this so-called information society.
Number of months in his life, total, with TV in the house: 24 (last two years)
Number of months in his life, total, with cable TV: 1 (I just got cable to watch CNN)
Number of videogame systems (PS, XBox, etc) in the house: 0
Number of computers in the house: 2
Average number of different sports teams he plays on in one year: 5
Average number of books checked out of the library at any given time: 3
It's not that he's technologically deficient - he has his iPod and as well as a cell phone. He uses the computer to check his email, do homework, and play games on Miniclip.com. When homework is done, we're outside playing catch (football, baseball, etc), or talking a walk in the park with his mother, or snowball fights when it's cold.
When it comes to his friends, I encourage them to do outside activities. Since my son gets bored with TV and video games, he's chosen his friends (obviously) who have similar interests.
It's not that hard - all it takes is some focus from the parents. Of the time I spend away from my son, I spend >90% of it in front of a computer doing work or surfing the web. I'm much more nerdy that he is. When I was his ago, I had an Atari 2600, then later an Apple IIe, so I had my share of geek toys to play around with. But I also played outside, played with toys (Lego), played sports. My parents enforced some balance to my life, and I try to do the same for him.

I guess that's fine, as long as you didn't force the computer to read the comments. That would certainly be the birth of Skynet.
