Is this how the OSx86 scene is going? - Page 2

Sorry, I was organizing files on my hosting, and I moved it, but I fixed the link.

Here is a PM from Hagar I got in response to my little "fit" as he calls it.

Here is my response

I'm only posting if anyone is interested in how limited the so called expert really is.

I haven't read the thread at all, but i have had my own problems over at insanelymac, but must say that sabr did sort it out for me. But since then my solution is that I always point people to this site for help if I can. I think the main problem is that insanelymac has just become too big.

Holy crap. A lot has happened while I was moving. Looks like I've got a ton of reading to catch up on. I'm not able to see the original PDF though, Hara Taiki... not sure why as I can see all the rest. I'll try it later. I haven't been using InsanelyMac for anything except searching the wealth of knowledge and personal experiences as I try to help others here. A lot of good things came out of that site but I don't want to have to look through all the BS to see the silver-lining. Good on you for calling it out.

Hara Taiki, did I correctly understand that Wiz is only 13 years old now??

If so, I take my head off to him. Not only for his coding skills, but also for being more mature in his behavior than the so-called adults in that thread.

Having now read the attached pm from hagar, I really have to laugh. Its funny but my problems on osx where caused by hagar and I find it sad but amusing that his excuse/reason is that as far as he is concerned pcwiz's coding is crap (which is basically what he said). Hmmm that's not what I would call an intelectual reason or infact the behaviour of someone who is supposed to be a moderator on a site. Maybe just maybe the real problem is hagar and his ego rather than insanelymac.

Hagar's response to my wall of text: Here, and my response to him: here.

I think the issue is that you may be looking from Windows. I made the PDF's with Saft on Safari on OS X, so if you can, try on there, as everyone I show on a Mac can read them.

nope. I'm full-blown Mac. reading this from my macbook. I read the response from Hagar and your reply back... I just can't see the initial posted link as the PDF keeps coming up blank. I'll keep trying it though.

I too have had issues with him mod'ing my posts and PM'ing me to tell me that I am misleading people into thinking this is something everyone can attempt. I wrote a guide that worked for me (and I stated it might not be for everyone) and he tore it apart saying it wouldn't work for anyone else and I shouldn't waste my time there... This was back a few years when I was first getting into OSx86 but I still knew something about what I was talking about and people were helped by it (as later posts confirmed). I really think you might be on to something. He's gotta be better than most, if not all, of the others out there and if he feels threatened he'll turn it around.

i dont know why they pick on ipc release...its the best working one for me and am very grateful for work which all who were working on it, put into this rel.. but still...ive noticed that insanelymac had went mad some time ago but whats happening now is just some bad joke...

ps. guys my keyboard broke, im using onscreen one now. do you know if apple aluminium wired keyboards work on pc with leo installed. sry for offtop i just cant write freely atm with no keyb. want to buy it but not sure if itll work

throttlemeister · #19 02-02-2009, 06:38 AM

AFAIK it is just a fancy looking USB keyboard and it will even work with Windows. Just has a couple of keys you wouldn't expect on a PC.

Well, I've read this thread and I fully agree with R0GUE about InsanelyMac being way to large and out of control. The reason I joined this site and discontinue going to InsainelyMac for help was because this site seems a lot more helpful and always finds the solution to my problems. The response time is also always reasonably quick.

One last thing is that the forum layout seems a whole lot nicer than InsanelyMac's

PS: Taisto, the aluminum wired keyboards DO work on PC's. I am using one right now =)
