Currently i'm using windows 7 home premium and my laptop processor is i5 with 8GB RAM and 640GB hard Disk. I wanna install the original Mac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 without using virtual machine. But I wanna keep my windows 7 as primary. Is this possible?
wtf... I'm currently digging around a software project from a previous employer of mine. There's a slight problem with the deployment at some client. So I replaced a binary on their site with one from my repository, didn't work. So I compiled a new one and replaced it again, didn't work again. So I started to compare version numbers and they're all identical, because the script that adjusts them is never run in the build process...
Hackintosh or OSx86 is Mac OS X running on non-Apple hardware. But since the software is still by Apple (most of it), is one allowed to ask questions pertaining to a Hackintosh here?
Unless it is a clear call for warez, discussion of DRM should be given the benefit of the doubt.

ffmpeg "x264" encoding is pretty clearly illegal in any country that respects US software patents (including, quite clearly, Germany, until/unless they change their laws about agreeing to abide by / respect US patents). Likewise, hackintosh is pretty clearly illegal in the US, but elsewhere we don't know. Sounds like Atwood says, if it could be legal anywhere then it should be allowed.
as Diago answered quite some time ago, the moderation team has decided to discourage these questions. Furthermore, Stack Exchange is a US company, and is therefore beholden to US law. — nhinkleApr 16 '11 at 21:53
I just don't like it when the community and StackExchange is inconsistent and allows one behavior falling unambiguously into category X while also censoring another behavior falling unambiguously into category X
ffmpeg encoder discussion is unambiguously just as illegal in the US as hackintosh, so we either ban both, or neither
IIRC, the team has instructed the moderating staff to keep their hands off of several legal-related issues. If these types of questions would pose a legal problem for SEINC, then I'm sure they'll take care of it

I've seen questions about pirating software down voted and closed. I'm wondering if Hackintosh questions are also disallowed? If so, why?
