first of all let me give a huge thanks Hazard and to m28ew for inspiring me to attempt installing Hazard 10.6.6i on my amd rig, so now i have a fully working osx 10.6.7! honestly, i was sure that it wasnt gonna work cause the distro itself says intel only. well i can confirm that it can work on amd and i was also surprised how little work it took to get it running smoothly...took longer to hunt down the working kexts than to set it all up.
i installed this like 2 weeks ago but havent had the time to type out this post/thanks/guide. remember this install method worked for me on my system. chances are you dont have my exact system, im posting cause i surf osx86 forums looking for posts like this to check out someone elses hardware config and seeing what worked for them. so i will walk you through the process i did, keep in mind it could have been done more efficiently cause i didnt have the 10.6.7 updater til later.
so at this point my lan works but my comp aint close to router so i install the kexts now to get online with wifi and grab the software updates. also, im working on downloading the Hazard 10.6.7 combo update(dont have a hotfile premium)
at this point, the computer didnt reboot correctly it shut down but got stuck and i powered it off. on the reboot it took a long time to boot up and hung on a blue screen for a while. this went away after shutting down normally.
i have to admit im excited about having the latest snow leopard(10.6.7) installed replacing my leopard(10.5.8) and it was fairly easy to do i cant believe this is this is an "intel only" release!(maybe only cause the amd cpus show up as intel...?) oh well thanks again Hazard & m28ew
@ALL - i d/l and installed mac osx 10.6.8 update combo. update ran fine, reboot and the comp was running super slow. some quick research and fixed it the main issue is the Apple80211Monitor.bundle some ppl have only replaced that and the lag has gone, as for me its wasnt that simple. i had to replace Apple80211Monitor.bundle, IOPCIFamily.kext, AppleACPIPlatform.kext, IO80211Family.kext & IONetworkingFamily.kext. i found this nice thread that helped me
so i ran MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.dmg with all other updates and added the new legacy kernel, reboot just fine but on start up it was painfully slow so i replaced the Apple80211Monitor.bundle, IOPCIFamily.kext & AppleACPIPlatform.kext
I have an AMD processor myself (Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz AM3) but have never been able to install Leopard or Snow Leopard on my rig. I have a laptop with an intel processor which I had no problem installing both Leopard and Snow Leopard on.
Every time I try to install SL on my desktop I get "Still Looking For Rood Device". Now I gather it's not seeing the DVDRW drive I'm trying to boot from because it's a SATA drive. Of course I'm no expert so I'm not sure that is the actual reason.
One more thing if I wanted to install SL from an 8GB memory stick, what format would it have to be in? because I tried copying the ISO from my DVD but as you all probably now my computer wouldn't boot of it.
Hazard 10.6.6i is "Intel only" hence the "i" at the end. To install onto an AMD box you'll need Hazard 10.6.1/10.6.2 SSE2/3 AMD installer disc. I had this same motherboard and was able to update to 10.6.8, but it's difficult, and the onboard graphics don't support acceleration of Quartz Extreme & Core Image/Animation so you'd really want a PCIe graphics card that works in OS X.
so yay! i got Lion installed using iATKOS L2 installed to a different hard drive and not a partition. i had to use a custom kext(AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext) to get it to fully load and see the boot source. once in lion i enabled my other kexts for sound & wifi, the graphics were installed with latest nvidia mac drivers install.
I went to hazards site and tried to get the torrent. The stupid pirate bay wants me to install some appware to my computer just to get the torrent. It seems like they are the only ones that have it. Does anyone have another source to get it?
I remember clearly my first experience joining our scientists to collar snow leopards in Mongolia. I was with Orjan Johansson, who had just been hired to begin our long-term ecological telemetry study on snow leopards. It would be the first time in a decade that we had decided to collar snow leopards as an organization. (this story was shared by Jennifer Snell Rullman, Snow Leopard Trust)
We had previously opted out of this research method, due to the risks and limits of technology. However, by 2008, the technology had improved so much, and the gaps in our knowledge about snow leopards were significant enough that we felt it was a risk not to consider tracking snow leopards. We needed to take this leap in order to protect the species.
Since 2008, Ojan has gone on to collar more snow leopards than anyone else in the world, becoming a leading expert on tracking snow leopards in the wild. His groundbreaking work has helped fill in crucial knowledge gaps about snow leopard behavior, diet, habitat requirements, cub survival, dispersal and denning behavior. This data provides valuable information to help prioritize areas for conservation. In fact, it recently played a critical role in the designation of a new National Reserve in the Gobi, where a viable population of snow leopards shares the land with nomadic herders.
None of this would have been possible without using tracking devices like the satellite collars we have fitted on 32 snow leopards over the past 13 years. But our decision at Snow Leopard Trust to use telemetry devices is not made lightly, as it is vital that capture procedures are planned and executed in the most efficient and ethical way. Orjan and his colleagues recently published a paper that articulates guidelines for planning, designing and implementing telemetry studies with a particular emphasis on snow leopards. The publication, Guidelines for Telemetry Studies on Snow Leopards, describes the necessary steps to ensure that captures are conducted safely and with the least amount of stress to animals.
Telemetry studies that are undertaken with clearly-articulated purpose, well-vetted and comprehensive protocols, and a sustained commitment of resources can prove essential for filling knowledge gaps, especially for snow leopards and other low-density, rare species, and can ultimately play a vital role in conservation.
Hi Isabel, no cats have ever been harmed during our trapping and collaring operations. Our scientists are very careful and very experienced, and are always quick to arrive to make sure nothing goes awry. We have contact with veterinarians around the globe just in case we ever do face an issue.
This makes snow leopard-spotting an essential complement to any attempt to peer into the future. So our next-generation foresight team at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security compared notes and identified six under-the-radar phenomena to watch. These are not predictions (for those, check out our list of top risks and opportunities for 2024, and our expert survey forecasting the decade ahead). What follows are trends and developments already underway whose disruptive potential, for good or for ill, we are overlooking.
Imagine painting 1 percent or 2 percent of the entire planet in this heat-reflective white. According to one calculation, this could entirely offset the additional warming associated with ongoing carbon emissions. Though applying paint to structures at that scale would probably be impractical and costly, applying it to cars, roofs, and roads worldwide would create islands of coolness in a warming world.
Take a global landscape of rising multipolar tensions and partnerships, add widely available dual-use technologies like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and voil: A new era of proliferation is increasing the challenge to arms control and the potential for conflicts around the world to escalate.
The proliferation of long-range precision-strike technology to nonstate actors has further confounded arms-control efforts. Iran has exported ballistic missiles, cruise-missile technology, and armed UAVs to Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Both groups have used these weapons in attacks in the region. Just in the past several months, the Houthis have attempted several missile attacks on Israel and targeted international shipping.
Politically, Palau has long had a special relationship with the United States, with commitments on both sides that extend beyond those of the typical alliance. The 1994 US-Palau Compact of Free Association gives the United States exclusive military operating rights in Palau, including the right to establish defense sites. In return, the United States is committed to defend Palau and provide it economic assistance, among other forms of support. Under a May 2023 update to the original compact, Palau stands to receive $890 million from the United States over twenty years.
Perfecting forward-osmosis processes for wider use should cut the cost of desalination dramatically, in turn allowing lower-income countries to create desalination facilities. With the right investment and scaling, it is possible that more of the world will have access to affordable, life-sustaining fresh water in the years to come.
To survey the future, we polled global strategists and foresight practitioners on our most burning questions about the biggest drivers of change over the next decade. Check out their forecasts on everything from the likelihood of war over Taiwan to the future of AI.
But while leopard seals play a unique role in the Antarctic ecosystem, they are still largely misunderstood and mysterious as a species. As we will demonstrate with these 10 leopard seal facts, however, this amazing Antarctic animal is well worth a closer look.
Female leopard seals, the larger of the two sexes, can grow up to 590 kg (1,300 pounds) and 3.8m meters (10 feet) long. Their bodies are long and slender, and their heads appear to be almost too large for their serpent-like bodies. This streamline shape, combined with their unusually large fore flippers, can help propel leopard seals through the water at speeds of up to 40 kph (25 mph). In terms of polar marine life, only elephant seals and walruses are larger than leopard seals.
