Is this how the OSx86 scene is going? - Page 4

@ pcwiz:

I also got my first own computer with 13, but in 1989 this was a C64. That means 0.985 Mhz, 39K useable RAM, 165K per disk... How times change

Too bad I never could learn assembler, it's the fastest and most effective programming language ever, but nearly unnuseable on actual computers.

Damn!! At 14 I was smoking a lot of weed and playing in a rock band. You're going to go a lot farther doing what you're doing!

Be sure to get some proper training in programming techniques - data structures, object orientation, etc. The best thing you can possibly do to further your skills is to work on someone else's code. When I was learning to program, open source projects didn't exist. You have the benefit of being able to tap into a huge base of other people's source code.

Keep at it and don't take any smack from people about your age!

PCwiz if you are 14 now, and yet you`re so skilled with this stuff, i wonder what will you achieve at the age of 20-25

Feel kinda envy haha, wish you many successes

I`ve started at similar age as you but well...it was atari times, loong time till PC as we know them now and oh, whatever im not into this anymore, got a job in whole different area and lost my interest ( or call it time for them ) in programming etc.

If so, I am officially leaving InsanelyMac forever. It's painfully obvious that Fubra cares about nothing more than money, they refuse to reprimand their staff and members and let them run rampant. It's utterly disgusting how they let this go on.

I refuse to associate with them anymore. There will be no more releases posted by me on InsanelyMac, and if the same actions occur here, I will also deprive this forum of releases.

I am disgusted to call myself an InsanelyMac member because of this.

I have shot Sabr an email in hopes that he may be able to do something, whether Fubra approves or not, but again, with all the admins they have, you'd think they would take control of it.

It's a real shame that InsanelyMac is the virtual hub of OSx86.

If you agree and wish to embrace ALL aspects of OSx86 (distro's AND retail, and legacy and modern hardware support) and wish to see an end to this ridiculous behavior, then I implore you to post below and show your support and disgust for the way that Hagar and his cronies treat respectable OSx86 developers, especially one who's put out more incredibly useful tools (hell, even an entire new OSx86 DISTRO!) than anyone else on the scene, which are more valuable than simply posting command line methods and doing nothing more as some do.

i finally can check out what happens on InsanelyMac and i really think that's so sad...
just like u said. No one of them bothered a second to help the community. Shame on them!!!!

Taisto - Yeah dude, just bought that keyboard yesterday, using it right now! =D

As for ~pcwiz. Good on yeah man, I started at around 10 rebuilding computers and discovering that I knew a heck of a lot more than people 3 times my age. Never let it get to you; just shows how immature can be when they're jealous ;-)

p.s. Been trying to get your attention for a project. Send me a message with your email if that's ok.

It's sad to see InsanelyMac admins are so cocky.

ScottXK · #37 02-08-2009, 06:16 PM

I like forums where everyone's post is heard, I think that the scale of InsanelyMac is too big for the staff to control, and that it is too in some ways complicated.

Although, the only thing I really see at InsanelyMac is an archive of install fails and kexts.

newbmac · #38 02-10-2009, 07:23 PM

I keep looking for a new place to hang out. Been playing with OSx86 for 3yrs now.

InsanelyMac is just huge, but nothing else has really ever taken off nor maintained. For months now I have hated it because it is soooo full of newbs who have made NO attempts to learn how to install and ask the same damn questions again and again. The site is SLOW and the search engine is abysmal. The Mods never make threads sticky that should be, nor force a FAQ and delete improper or repeated questions.

I am in high hopes InfiniteMac will be my new hang out

iPC... 14... no friggin' way. Dude, you are amazing! I'm twice your age and WISH i was as competent as you are. Keep it up. Your next release will be even better. I admit the your distro didn't install as smoothly as some others, but i think it's because you were really letting the user choose the exact kexts to install for the sake of vanilla-bility where others had some basic ones that installed by default. Once I figured that out it was pretty smooth sailing. You're doing great man. Keep it up. Don't listen to those bozos. They're just trying to stifle you cuz they're jealous. I don't remember using anything Hagar ever did. And Hara, you keep it up too. I'm anxiously awaiting the iPC boot-132 you posted about awhile back.

Btw, am i to assume that you got your wallpaper? The one with the Mac Pro and the wings? If so, would you mind telling me where to find it? I'd love to have it as the background on my iPC hack

Oh and sorry to drag up an old thread that's probably yesterday's news, but i just saw it and had to give you guys some kudos. I'm definitely gonna spend more time here after reading that. Hara, you said you were going to update on what Sabr told you, but I didn't see a resolution. Kinda' curious as to how that went.

It went nowhere, really. Fubra seems to be in control, they are letting whatever go on. I'll still post on InsanelyMac, but I wont expect it to be as it was before the buyout. InfiniteMac will be my main hangout, but I'm looking to get a MacPro (Nehalem) later on down the line, once that happens, I am probably going to retire from the scene.
