[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;27727717]Well, a good deal of people have done it.[/QUOTE] I know but what I was trying to say is that it isn't as simple as popping a disc like you do with windows, if any of my PC's were able to hackintosh I would have done it by now.

[QUOTE=robmaister12;27725937]also, I'd love to build a white desktop, case and all. With that GALAXY graphics card of course... It would be a nice deviation from the black with some red/blue you usually see.[/QUOTE] Not sure if there excists white motherboards, but the NZXT Phantom White is very nice. I'm thinking a black/white look, with a Phantom white, black components, black cable sleeving and white ram coolers

[QUOTE=Sgt Pringles;27727524]Price isn't a issue if you aren't 13 and have a job (not that I am implying you are its just a statement) And you couldn't just instal it and bam OSX is magical and working, it depends on your hardware your using and whether drivers/software to make it work even exists on OSX.[/QUOTE] that statement is completely backwards.

[QUOTE=LemONPLaNE;27728847]I wonder how long it takes until he actually gets a customer.[/QUOTE] Fixed.

Yeah Stickguy kind of missed it...

I feel pimp I just ordered some headphones (All mine are fucking dying, Why at the same time?!) and [url=http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6602]This[/url]. I feel boss.

Resolder your headphones. Wires to speakers, it is easy. Unless you have in-ear ones, then it is pointless. My headphones have broke 2 times, from inside. And the case or whatever has been broken atleast 4 times. Philiphs SHP2000

What headphones

[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27726251]They never get viruses because there are all of 10 of them, a few of which are already contained. I believe it has to do with the 6% market share and all that, simply a matter of numbers.[/QUOTE] MacTrekkie shut the fuck up already

Hate it when people ask me to spell something for them and they are standing at the fucking computer with both Google and Word open, just fucking spellcheck it yourself and learn!

[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27726251]They never get viruses because there are all of 10 of them, a few of which are already contained. I believe it has to do with the 6% market share and all that, simply a matter of numbers.[/QUOTE] Macs are used in great enterprices, by musicians, movie producers, and so on. They also averagely cost more. It's also got a reputation of having no viruses. It's the logical choice to make a virus for. No matter how you put it, you're gonna end up with some piece of information that can have great value for the rest of the world. Where with Windows, you're lucky if you'd end up with somebody's WoW account or facebook, which is worthless. But whatever, just keep telling yourself there's no viruses for mac.

So why doesn't Linux get viruses?

[QUOTE=meppers;27731598]So why doesn't Linux get viruses?[/QUOTE] Because the guys creating those virii know that: 0. There isn't enough unsecure linux machines to make cool botnets 1. They are using linux themselves. that wouldn't be cool to shit on their own platform, would they ? 2. There is not that much vulnerabilities, and they are patched in a matter of a few hours 3. Many people using Linux are too smart to get a virus. (4. nobody gives a shit about linux) Actually some might be running BSD

[QUOTE=PiXeN;27731648]They are using linux themselves[/QUOTE] "Linux is an illegal hacker softwaer:downs:"

[QUOTE=robmaister12;27726344]no it's because the people who make viruses want to affect as many people as possible, and with Windows having the number of users, it just means more potential credit card info keylogged, more potential computers infected with malware, etc.[/QUOTE] what are you doing you are not supposed to agree with the other person that is the point of a rebuttal

[QUOTE=PiXeN;27731648]virii[/QUOTE] Sorry, just want to point this out again. [url]http://www.ofb.net/~jlm/virus.html[/url]

I should probably reinstall windows sooner than later, just realized that the built-in image viewer doesn't work and explorer is anything but useful right now. Errors: [img]http://ace.haxalot.com/pictures/random/zscreen/SS-2011-01-29_20.05.48.png[/img] The Top left is what I get when I try to open anything, the top right is when I click anything and the bottom left is me trying to open a image. I didn't think windows would die this badly from two killed processes. It's astounding to say the very least.

Have some camera illiteracy: A friend was telling me his camera was better than mine on Facebook, and I assumed he had a DSLR and asked 'What body/lenses do you have?'. He replied: 'I have a canon eos 450d, and a long range lense, a widescreen lense and a normal lense :P' [quote] Me: elijah i laughed so much at your comment about your camera on formspring Him: XD Me: 'widescreen and normal lenses' lol Him: i actually have a £1000 widescreen lense Me: just say Canon 50mm f1.8, 18-55mm f3.5-5.0, 50-300mm f5.6-f7.0 etc... widescreen lens doesnt say much Him: mehhh, i dont read them Me: Then what is this widescreen lens of yours? Him: my normal lense is a canon 28-105mm Me: Cause I really doubt you spent £1000 on a lens considering your body is a 450d Him: 450d's are soooo much better than 1000d, the 450d was £900 but i gtg speak more some other time maybe earlier too? bye - He goes offline[/quote] He then sent me a message saying: [quote]oh shit, i actually meant 550d, i dunno whether that's better or worse, but yeah :P[/quote] Oh and if anyone tries to call me out on this I know a 550d is better than my 1000d, and the 450d is slightly better, I just find his general illiteracy hilarious.
