Is this how the OSx86 scene is going? - Page 5

That's too bad. I really appreciate all you've done to help. Hey I've got a MBP, but I do this as a fun hobby, and cuz a Mac Pro is way overkill for my needs. If apple comes out with an expandable mid tower, i'd probably get one of those and not need a hackintosh too. But it's still fun

Any chance i could get a copy of that wallpaper? Or is it kinda' an in-house type thing? That's cool if it is. I was just wondering cuz I love it.

I am getting a MacPro for more than one reason.

- It suits my needs (I do a lot of stuff that requires this kind of power, my current Hackintosh doesn't meet my needs but I'm stuck with it)
- No need to hack it up to get it working.
- It's still expandable (as long as you know how to work things

)
- It's way ahead of the curve as far as consumer computers are concerned.
- It will stay current for quite a while (even with refreshes, they are still current).

As for the wallpaper, they (yes, more than one) are available for download at the iPC blog page on ~pcwiz's website.

lot of the errors people have are from dvds with messed-up md5's..

I want to make it clear that I only helped with the iso (the first one) and helped a bit on the first ppf but the rest of the ppf's I had nothing to do with them and I don't want people to think that I did alot of work on IPC.
Don't get me wrong PCWiz and I talk and he is a great guy but don't say that I did a bunch of work on IPC when I didn't

Trust me, he didn't know what he was talking about with that one. No where did either of us make a claim that you spent more time on it than that.

It wasn't until I stopped thinking this was a shrink wrapped no brainer install that I had success with iPC. I now have good installs on my nice quad core machine with an Intel DG43NB mobo, this was on no ones "compatible" list when I started, and my sister's low end compaq laptop. I read and took notes. Both of the machines worked with the base system and bootloader and a few select items from the distro. Once I started to understand a bit better, things fell into place nicely. pcwiz, u ROCK brotha'. I just joined here, and have only been in osx86 since 4/10. I am a real noob. Had a few macs in the past tho. Still have the EMac I got a few years back. My daughter loves Photo Booth, and I wanted Leo. I almost bought a Mac mini, but the credit card in my wallet expired the day before my purchase, LOL. I started researching, and now have a Mac Pro class machine for the price of a mini. As for where I will do my research and post what tips I can, I guess I will do it here and not worry about im. Thanks again to u Gurus!

As I said in this thread having a community thats split into tribes as if there's some civil war is ridiculous, how are we going to tackle the challenges of OSx86 as a community if part of our community is at war. Many of the long timers at insanelymac are being elitist and don't like the influx of less experienced people. They need to grow up and stop being so childish. Even if I didn't agree with what PCwiz was doing (which isn't true, I can honestly say I am proud to have someone so talented in this community) I wouldn't start flaming him, its bullying and I won't tolerate it. One of the many reasons I turned my back on Insanelymac. So glad that I got the invite from Puttabong at the time I did, I was considering leaving the OSx86 community completely, as I was so fed up. Right on cue Puttabong

Yes, we could need some more active developers. Luckily Andyvand came to us, he'd done some really useful things. And if I take a look at the news of the Voodoo XNU team he will have fixed the kernel of the 10.5.7 update before them. I'd wish that Netkas and LastExile would come to us, they made great drivers for the ATI Radeon HD series.

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.

Yeah I also agree on that...
If you see how they in general tend to treat people...
Some of them over there tend to find it more amusing to curse each other than to do something usefull.
When I compare InsanelyMac with this place I am way more pleased with InfiniteMac anyday...

Teens will always be teens, and unfortunately, some of them don't grow up, especially when addicted to childish things. Where you have immaturity, lawlessness abounds.

As one of the moderators pointed out earlier, it is indeed a waste of talents and resources. And I'd like to alarm a small bell that probably rang elsewhere already, that is, if you combine the time that youngsters and young adults are spending on games, and other unproductive activities of modern era, it comes out to be not mere centuries, but millennia. I'm not suggesting that we go back to pre-TV or pre-Internet days, but we're, in effect, experiencing a true brain-drain in an unprecedented scale, and for that fact alone, as a concerned parent, I'd be willing to take my family a boat ride back to agricultural society with its labor-intensive, family-oriented settings.

Thirdly, and lastly, a more pointed comment for a person of devotion and intellect, namely, PCWiz. I had a friend like him once back in Virginia. He was simply a genius. Back in those days, 300 BPS modem was the fastest connection you had, and this friend, with a BBS alias of Fenris Wolf, hacked into DoD, AT&T and hosts of other government private networks, and private PBX systems. He's probably one of the earliest pioneers of phreaking, cracking, and hacking. I met him through a local BBS meeting once (a group of nerds really), and a year later, he was jailed in a federal prison. It's already a common knowledge why hackers or other intellectuals do this, and I also happen to think that this honorable young man is spending copious amount of time helping others for a similar reason, when he has so much to learn and experience for himself. I'd be forever grateful to PCWiz for all that he has accomplished so far, but if I were his father, I'd even be more grateful if his real life matches the dignity and the legacy he has already imprinted in this community. Sorry for this type of post on a tech board, but having been a witness to the demise of InsanelyMac, I felt compelled to share my thoughts with you. Good day.
