OSx86

Hmm. First things first: Watched The Fountain yesterday. The quality of the release definitely detracted from the film but...so did the quality of the film. It is meant to be grand and epic sci-fi, unfortunately, it doesn't get there, IMO. It really, really tries, though. Golden man in ecospheric spaceship with his tree, rhesus monkeys, Queen Isabella and 16th Inquisitors. However, it's just lacking the spark that it needs for greatness. Lots of comparisons to 2001, which I think is fair. FWIW, I don't like 2001 either...Sure, it's a classic but, well, it's not enjoyable, it's art.

Now I'm watching The Good Shepherd. Interesting but very slow paced. Damon is great as the quiet Edward. Good supporting cast too. Distinct lack of Jolie's nudity but, apparently, we've seen the last of that now. How unfortunate.

Anyway, OSx. I am seriously considering using, or at least trying it on the new system. Of course, I have severe reservations about it. Mostly, I just don't think it's going to be very stable, robust, or well supported. Also, I am not entirely sure it will work nicely using parallels with poker. Or VMware for OSx (Fusion). I will be able to keep *nixy stuff on this desktop. Another downside is OSx86 seems to be leet and is full of all those warez morons that I left behind. E.g.

OSX 1048 AMD FINAL

Requirements SSE3 or SSE2 cpu, PATA HD on nforce4

Notes:

SSE2 support is still not 100% perfect but it works so even jews with a ghetto cpu can use it :P

512MB Nvidia Cards aren\'t working, don\'t install the nv40 package if you have one

Merry Christmas and a big fuckyou to apple and its X86 clones with a broken bios and partition table. Hopefully you\'ll go out of hardware business asap

Um, great.
