So let me ask (because I don't really know) what would happen if you have to install a version of MacOS released before SATA (so w/o drivers) on a machine with a SATA HDD?
You won't be able to install at all. The installer knows what machine you're installing on and if it's supported.
It came with an OS 9 install disc so you could install OS 9. You can't boot from that installation, and you also can't boot from that disc.
With OS 9 installed, you can launch the "Classic Environment" which loads OS 9 within OS X. This allows you run most 'Classic' (OS 9) apps from within OS X.
You're not truly booting OS 9. The Classic Environment also can't directly address hardware, so there are some limitations. It'll work really well for most people. Try it out if you're curious.
Also, I think you meant to say G4 optimized. All Macs have been PPC based for about a decade now, and I doubt there are any 68k versions of Firefox.
Do you mean to say I should stop compiling Firefox on my Centris 610? It's been chugging along for a solid week now while I pester Apple about a 68K version of Safari.
Seriously, if people would have some consideration for those of us running Netscape 2 I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Adding a fan is good but opening the case is not. Put the side back on and make sure you've got good intake fans to match your power supply and exhaust fans. One of my 2 intake fans blows directly onto my new 200 GB HD. It stays nice and cool. Good luck!
Right, then they had a "Focus Change" and decided to throw all their efforts into an "Internet Device" called BeIA, cementing their corporate failure.
If their boxes weren't selling I'd focus on BeOS and BeIA as well.
When NeXT realized they weren't gonna sell hardware, they focused on software and were than worth $400 million when Apple was looking for something. Apple was looking at Be as well, but for a variety of reasons I won't get into, chose NeXT instead.
Be made BeBoxes. I never thought of them as el cheapo small boxxen like this AMD box. They used dual PPC chips in the later versions and dual CPUs from AT&T in the first models. Here's a/. article about Be.
Once more point. As far as iBooks booting OS 9 goes, the previous G3 iBook models were the last machines Apple sold (except from the aforementioned G4 tower) to boot OS 9. It can't be done anymore. Apple hasn't crippled new hardware to stop you, they just stopped updating OS 9 except to make improvements in the Classic environment.
OS 9 will NOT boot on ANY new hardware. Apple continued to sell the 1.25 GHz G4 Tower after the introduction of the Power Mac G5 for those who needed to boot OS 9, but they've discontinued it.
A good application will save the user's data in ~/Library/Preferences
Registration data is something to store within the application's bundle, but not game saves and such.
I'm not sure what you mean. Once the iPod is setup for disk mode (iPod options "enable disk mode" in iTunes) you shouldn't have a problem using the iPod as a removable hard disk on other computers. My cousin's Windows iPod mounted perfectly on my Mac. Now, you will run into problems plugging a Mac formatted iPod into a Windows machine. The Mac iPods are formatted as HFS+ which Windows on it's own doesn't understand. There is software on the market that lets Windows read Mac volumes.
Yes, but now imagine a cluster of Ford Focuses. The Porshe would blow them away in a straight race from Toronto to Cupertino, but if the trip started in Toronto and jutted out in 8 directors, who would be the first to reach all 8 locations?
Hint: it's the focuses. Yep, they would just head on out separately and easy beat the Porshe. That should be a rough analogy of how super computers would work was cars. Sure.

That is not funny. Would you like it if a random /. reader came to your home and erased your data?
DO NOT RUN THIS COMMAND!!

And under certain other conditions, people have been known to burst in to flames. Oh wait, no they haven't.
Well...

Huh? Four 12 hour days a week is 48 hours. Even if you add in the 3h roundtrip commute that's 60 hours a week.
He means if the job makes you feel that bad, you'll feel bad at work and at home. 168 hours per week.
Great link. It should be posted:

I used to feel this way too. But ya know what? I wouldn't want to feed it songs any other way but iTunes or use the HD with anything but the Finder.
Whatever that is, it's definitely not a NYT article. Don't click that link!

Wasn't Prescott going to be 64, or was it Itanium?
Itanium is 64-bit. But it's been dying for some time now, and Microsoft won't support it on Windows XP 64-bit Edition. Only AMD64 technology.
I've read on here that you can remove cydoor with Spybot S&D and exeem will run as normal albeit with no spyware.

Have a look at this for some more information.

I would trap them in the bathroom and pour hot grits down their pants. This is NOT a troll! I'm just mocking one of their jokes.
Of course you were interviewed by the systems group, what else would they be doing?
Yes, but now imagine a cluster of Ford Focuses.
