It is illegal to build your Hackintosh?

I really want to buy a Mac Pro, but it's too expensive. I heard that you can add your RAM and build a Mac computer or a Hackintosh, which acts as a Mac Pro but costs less than $3,000. Is this a violation?

The license agreement for Mac OS X requires authentic Mac hardware.

So yes, it is illegal to run Mac OS on Apple hardware.

--------

There are many more less expensive models of Mac that can run Windows (in addition to the Windows license).

Models silver Mac Pro tour in 2009 and later are still a very good computers today and are affordable and readily available on the used market. They are the more traditional design with PCIe slots and bays of disks as well. Many owners of these would buy the same or similar models today, if they were available as new.

  • Use the margin CSS-follow up of form "build your first site.

    I just finished the tutorial of DW part 6 build your first website in Dreamweaver CS4, which were great!

    Do I have a recurring problem with the 'margin' in CSS Tho files '.

    When I view my page in my browser, it is not centered (despite stating the margin: 0 auto; in the CSS page). Furthermore, when I am formatting the text in the main_image div spacing between my heading 3, heading 4 and paragraph do not respond to the commands of the margin for the corresponding CSS. Regardless of the height of setting, or margins used the text won't format because he should offered in the tutorial. The same is true even if I use margin_top:, margin-bottom: etc.

    In view of these two problem together am I missed something concerning the order of the margins. I posted all the files generated by the tutorial to the folder:

    www.malcolmshield.com/public_ftp/check_magazine/

    I've also attached the more critical (check_magazine.css & index.html)

    Thanks in advance!

    You are having problems it is because the margin: 0 auto can be used to Center elements only if the item has a declared width. Although your container

    width, is the reason why the page isn't centering is due to a mistake in your CSS:

    #container {
    width 968px;
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 10ox;
    overflow: hidden;
    }
    

    The colon is missing after width. It should be this:

    width: 968px;
    

    Without the colon, the rule is not valid and ignored.

    If I have a Dell with Windows 7 pro 64-bit I will be able to upgrade to a reasonable

    I spent 1/2 hour, trying to find how to post on this site. I doubt when I come

    return to see if he has all the answers that I will be able to find the answer.

    It is not necessary for the things this difficult and WHY?

    For better or worse, Dell offers are more important options for building your own system as they did in the past. So if that's what you really, you can be better to buy all the bits and pieces you need and build your own system.

    If you want to Win 7 on a Dell computer, better hurry you. Microsoft recently said OEM such as Dell to stop selling systems with Win 7, but then they hesitantly, and maybe they extended last date OEMs can sell systems with Win 7.

    No one knows what Microsoft intends to do about the cost of upgrade to Win 10. There are rumors that Microsoft might give Win 10 free, but maybe only to those who Win 8 (8.1), but it's all a game of guessing at the moment, and the rumor mill is full. So don't expect Dell to sell you a system Win 7 upgrade now with rights to win 10 who probably will not yet be released until the next spring.

    You might consider a system Win 8 now and just install the classic interface (free) or debut8 ($5) that save 8 behave more like Win 7.  And then, if MS decides to allow the free updates to win 8-10 Win, you'll be ready.

  • Build your own Windows Home Server 2011

    Hello

    I downloaded just WHS2011 and you want to build a new machine to install it.

    I know that specs official recommended (1.4 G CPU, RAM, 64-bit...), but I'm looking for hardware clients and advice, like "how to build a quiet server"...

    In fact is there something specific for WHS or I can read Web sites that helps you build any type of server (Media Center,...)

    Can I go to TigerDirect.com and buy any case/mother/CPU board?

    Thank you
    Laurent.

  • BMP file do not build in the executable


    The problem with the help of absolute paths, is that they are never the same from one PC to the other unless you deliberately recreate the path.  In your case, you have the BMP stored on the desktop and the path to the desktop of one PC to another is probably not the same (depending on the user name and the operating system that is used).  It would be better that you can use a VI like the one below (get system... directory in the file menu of constants) which returns a system on the desktop path and build your way up from there.

  • Build the new Application (.app)

    I'm in LabVIEW 8.5.

    I would like to be able to create programs that run on a mac, but also a PC, and this page makes it look like I can do it by changing just the extension of .exe to .app under the target file name, well that whenever I have try and do it, it will automatically change it to .exe

    Also, when I right click Create specifications, he said "New-> Application (exe)" so it looks like in the version I can't .exe

    Is there an add-on application builder that I maybe need to download or purchase separately?

    Change the extension does not as magically make it possible for a file to .exe for Windows work on a Mac.  They must be compiled separately on each operating system.

    So build your application on a Windows computer that runs LabVIEW to create an executable file.  Then carry your VI to a Mac running LabVIEW and build an application here to create an executable file that can run on a Mac.

  • Can not build an installer, because it seems to have deleted the files required

    LabVIEW does not locate the Installer source of a component necessary to build this installer. LabVIEW finally found the missing element in the following distribution:

    The distribution name: NOR-DAQmx 8.6, disc 1
    Last known installation path: C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI-DAQmx\8.6\NIDAQ860-1

    Search source for NOR-DAQmx 8.6, disc 1 Setup and build your installer again.

    I think I must have deleted the files required from my C drive.

  • Help me build a stepper motor control in LV?

    I need control a single linear axis slide that is driven by a motor nema 34. It will be very simple move, start, move at a constant speed, stop, return. I do not have the engine.  I can use a controller and a software company that sells me the slide, but prefer to use Labview.

    I currently have a PXI chassis with a 6713 or 6704 available, or a '2 M Gate FPGA and cRIO-9073' with a NI 9401 I'll take delivery of every day now. I don't know much about the system in real time, but I have to learn it soon in any case.

    Can I use my existing hardware/software to create a stepper motor control, or at least can I use Labview to interface with a motor drive step by step if this is not possible. I am currently looking at a 34T 1 Vexta engine, but do not know much about the stepper motors and do not really want.

    Edit: Should have mention that I LV 8.6, with no motion software.

    Engines step by step to have two power circuits creating magnetic fields perpendicular to each other inside the engine (in mathematics a certain sense anyway) you can consider working like pistons on a crankshaft which are out of step 90 degrees. You can use LV to manipulate these two. Want to make their vector sum in different directions while moving. Imagine making a point on a chart around the origin orbit. You need to consider things like the speed at which you can start the dot in orbit. Engines step by step can't go very fast if you add the requirement that the application start and stop without having to build your own ramp.

    But it would be a big enough work for all, but more simple movements. You will need to learn less about stepper motors if you buy a motor controller that supports ASCII strings on a line of serial port as its instructions. I did recently with good results. LV must compose strings and write to the serial port of the PC. Having the engine go to a post 2205 units requires composing a string like this:

    d 2205

    go

    It works fine without another component or software purchases.

    I did something a little more complicated and wish now I had started with a decision to use the material in motion control of OR, or at least look at more the issue. When things are more complicated, using a serial port as the bridge between the PC and whatever the microcontroller is located in the drive motor starts to introduce limits you can schedule around with a lot more trouble.

    You have many options depending on your purpose what is and how much trouble, you have to take.

  • Why run exe file run more slowly than vi format when we build application exe?

    Jin

    We build the file vi drifter but exe file to run slower than the file vi. I check several vi and get the same result, which is slow, why?

    Thank you.

    The executable runs on the same PC that you have developed it, or on another PC when it is running slowly?  (Thinking that if it's on another PC, it hangs on errors for things that cannot be installed on the 2nd PC.)

    Where is the current slowdown?  Is it possible to have errors that happen that you do not see (as in the communication of the database) and which is at the origin of things run slowly because of time-out errors occur?

    I recommend you build your VI with a code debugging in it.  As indicators to show which are the son of the error.  Maybe create a simple Subvi who will save a timestamp and a description to a file and that scatter around your code, then you can connect at run time.
