And how many times do we have to have to say that copying IS NOT STEALING??? Intellectual property is an artifical construst - one that may in some contexts serve a useful purpose, but in terms of modern copyright/patent/trademark/trade secret law serves no useful purpose, unless subverting the democratic process by a few large corporations is what you consider a useful purpose.
I don't know if you're paid by the megacorps to post what you did, or if you're just misguided,and I have no idea why your post was modded up, but it's all the same old bullshit and frankly I'm tired of it.
And yet another circumvention device is posted on slashdot!
the magic word that unlocked hypercard into the full version was widely publicized in its day - even in 'respectable' publications - the stuff that is now covered by the DMCA in all of its evil was once stuff that the first amendment protected. For shame, US Congress!
And for hypercard of all things - the software that would one day inspire the world wide web.
Your 8500 will most likely run Mac OS X - given that it has a G3 card, and assuming that it has at least 128MB of RAM (more is of course better).
You'll need a utility to be able to do an unsupported install, such as XPostFacto (free) or Sonnet's software for $30, and you may want a utility to adjust your G3's cache.
It's my understanding that 911 is not even close to a global standard number. It's a standard most places in the US, since there is now federal assistance to localitites to implement it.
I was previously aware of 999 in the UK, and from the other posts here, I've discovered 112 as a GSM cell phone emergency number - but I'm not at all sure that it would work on a GSM phone in the US - my phone is CDMA, it does not work on my phone. I get a message that my service does not allow calling to the number dialed.
It would be interesting to have accurate info on the service available in the Andes, and what the emergency number would be.
Oh, and satellite service is available prepaid, I was looking at Iridium service the other day (no, I'm not wealthy, I was just curious) and discovered (among other things) that if you prepay at least $5000 with the company I was looking at, you get a free phone.
Come to think of it, if any company was going to be assholeish (is that a word?) about running out of minutes and not letting you call anything, even an emergency number, it would seem that a satellite company would, since they would not necessarily have any sort of agreement with the country that the phone is being used in.
1 tech support person for a hundred users? It would never happen. I used to work helpdesk for a dialup provider with over 25,000 users, and we had under 20 people to cover a 24 hour help desk. yup, that's less than 1 tech support person for 1,000 users. I'd say that a broadband provider would have even fewer techs per user.
Your 'modest' 15 dollars an hour would more than double what most of the desk was making.
So, that $30/month you quoted for support seems much more like it would be $1.50/month to me.

It won't be running Oracle? Really?

Nope. In TN, we still have cheap ISDN.
I'm paying about $35/month for my line.
I'm not even using it for data anymore, I just kept it because it's cheaper than 2 analog lines.

Question 10: Is it possible to start up from a FireWire hard drive?
Answer: No, the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) boot ROM cannot currently support starting up from FireWire-based storage devices.
I just don't get the relevance of this article...

no, he just summarized why gentoo will never be mainstream - but it isn't meant to be.
I've seen a whole lot more non-geek types lately who are finding linux - and some of the distros are really easy to install these days.

Ripping the rented one now sounds ethical to me.
I'm not sure if paying for the one in November is ethical or not, though.

You should at least upgrade it to 9.1.

You've got to be kidding me.

It's not really a patch, just use ResEdit to change the wfwr resource.
(It's either a change from 00 to FF or FF to 00, I don't remember which. In any case, you can't miss it. The wfwr resource should only be 2 bytes.)
