Here is the fun Stuff:

1. When watching movies on my MBP via either an iTunes rental in iTunes or a MP4 file in Quicktime; I would get one of the following:
        - The top and bottom black letterbars of the movie flicker, and can be manually recreated by pressing spacebar to play/pause movie repeatedly
        - Graphic defects will be present through the movie, and sometimes even created by pressing space bar on and off
        - The entire screen of the movie will either start flickering or just go black with audio only.

2. When playing games either downloaded from the App Store or through Steam Client, games will persistently have performance hangs and graphical defects. (its not network related (ping ISP), or low sys resources, everything is fine there)

3. Apps constantly crash on a regular basis (apple apps and 3rd party), even after fresh wipe and reinstall of macOS. . . do hackintosh laptops behave this way????? 

4. Thermal Throttling and Overheating - well this is obviously the MacBook Pro, but so the sake of it, the chassis will get so hot it burns your finger, wonder if other laptops are doing this. mine gets to 130° around the letter keys and above. do hackintosh laptops behave this way????? 

also any app using dedicated graphics will most defiantly cause MBP to hit 212°, do hackintosh laptops behave this way????? 

I have been thinking about Linux and the fact that it hasnt put much of a dent into Windows' dominance. But the answer has been right in front of us the whole time. Its about software. Now I am not going to say that Linux devs are bad programmers, they are not; but they do not know how to make a good UI that normal people can follow.

That is where Android comes in. It was designed just to do that; Google took Linux and put a good UI on it. And it became popular, very popular, and a lot of money is made in selling its software.

Linux on the desktop is a dead dream. Its never going to happen. But we have a chance, right here, right now, to make an OS so good that Microsoft would have real competition on the desktop. There are a few Android Distros out there, but none of them are doing it right. I think it can be done. There were those who said that no one could make a GUI. Look at how wrong they were. Its a matter of who has the best ideas that will bring in people into using your OS. It can be done. 

Was wondering what you guys think about what kind of degree would one need to go into computer sciences considering a career change? Currently working in healthcare and hate it. Pretending to be someone I'm not and want out. Though considering all the time, money and effort I put into a wasted career being a dr of sorts thinking about bio-informatics as a career switch. Want to work with computers, and design software for healthcare. I have your typical Bachelor of Arts in Neurosciences from undergrad years and a doctorate in dental medicine.  Do I need a masters you think? Also online schools worth it?

Thanks.

But one of the things that I most liked is that it was possible to hear the sound of this event!

More than 1,3 billion years ago.

Me, I never use it. Hell, I don't think I am one.

I don't have the hacker ethic, but I like to {censored} around and change {censored} that wasn't meant to be changed. 

I consider hackers to be those who have the hacker ethic and love to {censored} around and change {censored} up.

Mainstream, unfortunately, confuses them with criminals.

I need to leave this message board (as well as others) for good.

I appreciate all the things the community has done for me, starting with Dax, who helped me setup my first hackintosh, all the way to each member who contributed their hard work to each kext, patch, documentation, etc. You guys are doing an AMAZING job here!

Since then I have bought a real mac (several, now), and I thank you guys for helping me make this transition.

I need to better myself; life is way too short. I want to focus on making myself more socially involved with life, accomplishing things that I've never thought dreamed of.

Of course, I'll always be a nerd at heart, heck, my main source of income is through the internet (by various means of ecommerce stores!)

I've scrambled my passwords and changed my e-mail address so I can't log back in. I feel its the only way.

Sorry for making you all read this blabber, but quite frankly, InsanelyMac is one of the most down to earth, warmest, friendliest message boards on the net. Please stay this way!

Cheers to good health, and remember to follow your dreams -- if you don't have dreams, what do you have?

R.I.P. Prawker, and I hope the best to all!

I don't feel comfortable when that happens.

She makes me feel in Heaven and in Hell at the same time.

She says she loves me for what I am but I don't believe.

How can she like a boring dude like me...

I spend a day with her and she's mostly silent.

Now if the brother is there she turns into the most amused little girl.

I am going to leave her, i am not good enough..

The popular computer game DotA (Defense of the Ancients) was banned in Barangay Salawag in Dasmariñas, Cavite following an ordinance implemented by the local government there.

 

In a report from GMA's 24-Oras on Wednesday, Salawag Bgry. Captain Eric Paredes said someone already died due to the computer game.

 

Mayroong dalawang namatay na ang pinagmulan ay sa mga computer shop nang galing 'yung pag aaway. Nalamin namin na ito pala'y naglalaro ng games sa computer shop at isa nga dito 'yung sinasabi nila na DotA, ("Two people were killed in brawls ensuing at computer shops. We found out that they were playing games at the said shops and one of them was this game they call DotA,") Paredes said.

 

Aside from this, barangay officials said DotA distracts youngsters from their studies and is a bad influence that makes the youth participate in video game gambling and violence.

Also, I've just put up a petition calling the chairman to pull out the ban and come up with a more sensible law instead:

But what i wanna find out, is what the majority of this community would do if they won £15M ($30M)...

Would you make the whole switch and buy every Apple product, like i would, or simple horde it and live off the interest.

tell us here.

Unfortunately at least 1/3 of Italians are politically illiterate. In almost 20 years they haven't yet learned that Mr Berlusconi is a dangerous clown who has brought Italy on the brink of bankruptcy and disaster.

Not to mention that he has managed to make Italy the laughing stock of the Western World.

Then there is the complete lack of effort at stopping us. One can say that they were trying to stop us back in Tiger, but in retrospect, it was new software that was constantly updated to remove bugs. Plus, back in Tiger, our community had no idea about some of the most important concepts in OSx86 today: DSDT, mach_kernel, EFI emulation, smbios emulation, etc etc. The hacks they designed attacked the symptoms but not the actual problem. What the Tiger developers did was use bandaids for a amputation. They got better and they learned.

Then there is the fact that they are tolerant of certain OSx86 companies, like Quo Computing, which has been around forever selling machines that can have OS X installed on them by the end user. They didn't show that kind of mercy to Psystar, who sold Apple clones directly with OS X installed.

End consumers want PC's with OS X already installed on them. They don't know {censored} about technology and they figure they can get a better deal over Apple hardware. That was Psystar. Conversely, Apple does not put to much effort on chasing the hardcore computer user. It seems to me that as long as we stay out of Apple's core areas they might not really care about us. 

But then there is the Apple culture. Its like Nazi Germany there. Its about complete control. So why would they seem to disregard this mindset for us? Apple legal does not believe in Live and Let live

I said it before, and I will say it again: the real tragedy is not the media circus, but that a young man died. It is a shame that a case in Florida that had a tragic end, and was then capitalized upon by sides who didn't care enough before the event, suddenly were galvanized to "sides" on this case. What is shameful, is that folks aren't really focusing on the larger issues: of race, of violence, of fear, of an increasing footprint of media sources to manipulate and distort issues for an vanishingly decreasing number of interests. Those issues are lost, because they aren't quite so easy to discuss. They are hard, because we are fed by these decreasing number of interests that they don't matter. They they have even been "solved," in some cases.

 

Violence is an end result from frustration. Zimmerman felt that being a hard case to "protect" his community was his only option. He dined on fantasies of "fixing" a problem in a simple fashion. The real issues at hand are hardly simple, and that is why we aren't really looking at them. Hard is not easy to package into a sound bite. We are looking to simplify issues, because we don't really want to look at them too closely. "It's an open and shut case" is far easier to package. Reductionism of issues is easier, because close analysis is not what our media is geared to--not when they are competing for ratings.

 

We have issues in this country. A lot of them. We are watching a middle class be dismantled. We are watching wealth concentrate within a diminishingly smaller number of interests. We are desperate to distract ourselves from these issues by pretending that they simply don't matter any longer. We have a media complicit with assuaging folks that they don't matter any longer. Race is still an issue, and pretending that is not, does us no services. Minority communities are likewise attempting to blame many of their own issues on someone else, as opposed to taking responsibility for some of them. Likewise, we pretend that conditions that impact folks simply don't exist, and we just have to be "harder" in order to keep folks in line. Everyone is looking to blame someone else, rather than admit, that the collective we are responsible for pooping in our own dog dish, and right now, we are looking at doing anything, including watching Sharknado or Jersey Shore to distract ourselves.

 

Until we face these issues, within education, within our economy, within our justice system, with our own attitudes on race--and yes, I'm looking at the Asian-American community as much as white America and the African American communities as well--these will remain issues, because the distractions don't really address the larger issues. In part, because they are hard, they are complex, and that doesn't make for easy issues to throw money at, and right now, we have a lot of folks who are competing to get slices of the pie, and use them for their own pet projects, and the glory of said projects.

 

This means demanding better. Not just of our media, not just from our communities, but from ourselves. To educate ourselves. To help educate and open lines of communication, and KEEP them open. To avoid the cloaking of "sides" as being matters of simple Me versus Them. In part, we keep forgetting that we are in this together. As Americans. As members of a community. And right now, we keep shaving down those tribal gradations in order to make it simpler. My community is under fire from "them." It's the drug dealers fault. It's the junkies fault. It's the fat cats' fault. It's Wall Street's fault.

 

No it's not. It's our fault. We keep shaving down the lines, and making finer and finer points of belonging because we don't want to admit that when we want to cut spending, we don't really mean to our people, we mean cut spending on things we don't like. Rather than looking at the issues from a larger context, and their impact, we just want simple lines. We don't want to consider ramifications. We don't want to consider context. We don't want look any further than Us, and screw Them. We keep shaving down those lines, and not taking some gottverdammt responsibility, we are going to eventually have to shave them down to not just one's family, but immediate family, and EVERYONE ELSE. That's not helpful. It is shameful and selfish, and folks keep wanting to celebrate the selfish and laud those who cannot look further than their own doorstep, because they don't see themselves in context with anything else. And THAT is the largest issue we face: Us versus Other, as opposed to We.

 

We the people. Roll the phrase around a bit. We. That's how the nation started. We the People. We included a lot of folks, many of whom were not overly fond of one another, but we included them, because they are our neighbors, our allies, our friends, and even rivals, and we are part of a larger society, and we need to stop thinking about the simple black and white issues, and start looking at the shades of grey, and looking not just at what impacts just ourselves, but look at how it affects folks around us. Because, oddly enough, those things do come around to affect us.

 

Demonization of crime and drugs, and a draconian approach to "law and order" has exploded prison populations, whose job prospects are vastly hindered once they are released, and we wonder why recidivism is so high? We continue to siphon off jobs, and siphon off opportunities, and we wonder why folks turn to crime as an alternative? We limit education, which further limits opportunity, and then we wonder why folks make their own, and see "us" as the other?

 

We need to step up. We need to do better. Not just for ourselves, but for all of us. We need to look at these issues not as simple matters, but matters that have context, that have layers. We need to do better than demand simplicity in an increasingly complex world.

Anyways, is there an actual limit on how small something could actually be? The smallest that we know of right now are called Quarks, and that is subatomic. With the way our universe is, could size be infinite on scale of big or small?

And, on the other side, we have a limitation on what we can see. When something becomes too small we can longer observe it with our eyes. Could the converse be true (objects too big that we cannot process them)?

Edit: observer effect has nothing to do with the second question of observing small or large objects. Making this clear.

The scientific world is not that much in turmoil for what should be the global event of the third millennium.

Of LENR or cold fusion 20 years since he speaks with ups and downs but I've never seen the site Defkalion Green Technologies.

I can not believe it seems to be the site of an electric company, and know which is the most advantageous offer for the home?

A "Hyperion" just a small nuclear reactor to cold fusion .....

This is what I wrote as a comment in a blog:

I was born in a different culture, I am Italian. You are supposed to laugh spontaneously when something is really funny, not to be told when to laugh with a pitiful trick. Can't people decide for themselves?

I love much of the Anglo-Saxon culture, but definitely not laugh tracks. And as it has been said by so many people, you get laugh tracks even when something is not remotely funny.
