hackintosh/macintosh

Need a hug?

I'm pretty sure the first thing ANYONE did in this thread is address the OP - and I think we all pretty much said buy the mac over doing the hackintosh.

HEY! PONIES!

They CHOOSE substance. I use Windows because I work for a living. I can not afford downtime. It's been my professional experience that the computing markets Apple has FAILED to penetrate are the ones requiring uptime and absolute reliability. No one's using XServe (that's why it's now dead). When the industry demands reliability, the apps are running in Windows or a *nix variant. If you're in a professional recording studio, chances are you'll run into an older Mac running an older version of ProTools. But recording doesn't require 100% uptime. But the software that handles the radio station playback automation DOES, and it's running in Windows. You'll find Apple computers in the graphics department of a TV network, but only in creation. The systems that deliver those stills to air are running Windows. The switcher that cuts to that graphic is running Windows. The servers from which the video gets played back, and the computers running Newscutter are all Windows computers. You'll find the same kind of results when looking at other industries where uptime and reliability are important (from healthcare to traffic management to web servers). If OSX is so clearly superior, why did Apple just give up on their servers? Why isn't anyone using them?

Style over substance.

poorly designed pole. both macintosh and hackintosh suck.

Poll. A pole is a round rod, one of the intersections of the Earth's axis, or a person from Poland. Unless you MEANT pole - in which case that's just odd.

strange. i always thought poll meant penis and poll position its exact location, whereas pole is figurative for an election or voting

Exactly the other way round bro..

Put it this way:
If i walk down the street and show people my pole id get arrested.
If it was a poll they might choose 'No Pineapple on Pizza'

Dont get your pole and your poll mixed up in public:eek:

I'm sorry but that sounds like a poorly designed poll.

Hello ladies...

...look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me.

sadly, he isn't me. but if he stopped using lady-scented operating systems, he could at least try performing like me.

look down. back up. where are you? you're on a forum, reading a pointless discussion...

p.s.: I'm on a horse.

my horse is amazing. give it a lick! it tastes just like raisins. at a stroke of its mane it turns into a plane, then it turns back again when you tug on its winky. OOH THAT'S DIRTY! do you think so? well I better not show you where the lemonade is made, sweet lemonade, sweet lemonade, sweet lemonade yeah sweet lemonade. get on my horse, I'll take you round the universe and all the other places too! I think you'll find that the universe pretty much covers everything SHUT UP WOMAN GET ON MY HORSE!!

I'm too lazy to read through all the 7 pages of old spice ads and horse-songs, but here are my two cents:

Get a real Mac!

I have had a close to perfection running hackintosh for about one year now. I can even swap between my Windows DJ partition and Mac OSX and use the same ITCH- and Traktor-databases.
Yet, I still think MacOS X is meant for Apple-computers. Also keep in mind you aren't allowed to install MacOS X on any non-Apple hardware.
While you bedroom or just spin in small clubs, you probably won't run into problems, but I wouldn't risk it.
