You can essentially get the same experience with AROS on an x86 machine (http://vmwaros.blogspot.com.au/)
Or if you feel as though you want the PPC Amiga experience, you could get a G4 Mac Mini and install MorphOS (or AmigaOS4 illegally, but I cannot legally condone that).
But, if you really want AmigaOS 4, then you can buy a slightly cheaper PPC system from Acube (https://acube-systemsbiz.serversicuro.it/shop/).

Good point:

IT depends on what you do. I made it for salespeople initially, based on books I'd become familiar with.
It's a good thing you not a football manager, imagine Lionel Messi, Ronaldo,Zinnedine Zidane or Ronaldhino coming to your team. These are some of the best footballers in the world, all speak different languages but can walk on a field in England and beat an offside trap, request a pin point pass through top rated defenders at a speed of 100mph. Most people just don't want to take the time to try and understand someone because the expectation is that you are in America and you must speak english.

In football, you can't go an complain that you don't understand your teammate, you getting paid $200 000 a week, so shut up and make it happen. Park Ji Sung and Patrice Evra became best friends yet one spoke korean and the other french, teammates would laugh commenting on how they don't know how they communicate. The issue is that they were both willing to learn to understand each other, having mutual respect for each others culture but bottom line no football player can use language as an excuse.

My first language is English, so i was amused when moving to LA, an asian girl from UCLA was at one of the teller windows and i guess that she could not fully understand this girl so she just bravely says to here coworkers that "this asian girl is so dumb, how did she get into UCLA, she can't even fill out a deposit slip". The amazing thing is that she felt so natural saying it as she knew other americans will not mind what she said, even though she is a teller and the young girl is attending a top U.S College.

I would also like to add that many football coaches take jobs where they cannot speak the home language fluently but are still successful. I feel that Europeans are more accepting of foreign accents than Americans and i have worked in Europe and stay in the U.S.
This talks about screwing around with the network by acting like another phone to do denial of service. Can't you achieve the same result just by transmitting noise on the same frequencies? If you're blasting out paging responses, won't that be just as "easy" to track down as transmitting noise?

Modifying them to intercept calls/SMS is more threatening, especially as GSM and SMS look like attractive protocols for doing mobile apps and payments in "developing" areas.
So but for you, the folks that read Hacker News would have been fooled by my ruse.

I wouldn't say it exactly like that, Haiku is still moving steadily (it's package management implementation is close to being released) and RISC OS got a second wind with the Raspberry Pi and Beagleboard ports.
Well shoot, the $80 ones from zte_us are all sold out (probably because of this article!) and it's now going on eBay for quite a bit more — I see some $120 and up.

I didn't buy one of these before because I wasn't sure what US carriers it would work with, if any, or if it was strictly for development. But doing a little research, it's a GSM phone, so apparently AT&T or T-Mobile would work, while Verizon or Sprint would not. Someone please correct that if I'm mistaken.

I am surprised that the baseband paging firmware code is closed and has not already been reverse engineered. And if so, it is surprising for me as to why have we never come across any attack like this in real life.

Ditto -- this was a great idea, and I was hoping to see an international roll-out as well.

Sure, maybe the gifts are cheesy (coffee mugs, etc) and limited, but I have always found that a real physical product in someone's hands has more impact than an impersonal gift card. I'm sad to see this service go, but I hope someone steps into this niche.
"That correlates more with any other success factor that I've seen in the world's greatest entrepreneurs. If you look at Bezos, or Andreessen, David Filo, the founders of Google, they all seem to be white, male, nerds who've dropped out of Harvard or Stanford and they absolutely have no social life. So when I see that pattern coming in -- which was true of Google -- it was very easy to decide to invest." -- John Doerr

Anytime race is involved you've got to be careful before playing the "strong correlation" card.

Granted this is about accents, which an be trained. But it's a little unsettling to me how nakedly pg relies on correlation of a racial/cultural signal, without so much as a comment on how obviously racist and sexist Doerr's perspective is.
Is there an aspect of association football that depends on language like a CEO in an English-speaking industry does? My impression is that the majority of success-oriented communication in soccer is nonverbal.
So there was a way for any random app to play whatever video it wanted on my tv? And Google disabled it? Well gee, shame on them.
Never found one that does ask for ID. Is that your point?
Thanks for replying. I guess I should explain further why it is disappointing to me.

Accent is intrinsic to a person's sense of self, akin to their religion or ethnicity (truly). Asking people to change their sense of self for you is a lot.

Imagine I said I couldn't relate to a business person because they were just too, say, Chinese and so I suggest they take lessons to act more Canadian to fit my liking. Yikes.

Then imagine I said that in an nationally syndicated magazine as a role model to young foreign-sounding entrepreneurs. Double yikes.

After criticizing you, I guess owe you a different perspective. The real question I suggest in a business context is "were my expectations met?" Did they clearly explain their idea? Build rapport? Answer my questions? Direct the conversation? Organize a plan? It doesn't matter how foreign they sounded if I got what I wanted.

Accents aren't really important. They vary wildly even in the United States. Is Steve Ballmer's heavy New England accent germane to his leadership's successes and failures? Or did Ross Perot's Texas accent matter when building EDS? Or Scott Thompson's Boston accent matter when turning around PayPal?

Conversely, it's easy to find successful tech CEOs with "strong foreign accents" such as Sridhar Vembu (ZOHO) or Rashmi Sinha (Slideshare) or Mikkel Svane (Zendesk) or Tobias Luetke (Shopify).

On the other hand, of course clarity does matter. Consider Todd Bradley who was passed over for German-accented Leo Apotheker as CEO because (reportedly) he mumbled during presentations (despite running a $41B division of HP)? cf. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/05/08/500-hp-apotheker/

That's different. You can still be clearly understood with a strong foreign accent. cf. Gandhi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yMcNubXqc4

I can get details, or e.g. check out the NSSF's reporting on this (the real gun manufacturer's association).

I guess it could all depend on your definition of 'anytime soon', but 5 years, 10 years from now, will PHP still drink 80% of the proverbial milkshake?
The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary. -- James Nicoll

I submit that, indeed, English is the PHP of human languages. It's ugly, its rules are inconsistent and sometimes contradictory, it follows no coherent logical pattern, instead being a hodgepodge of rules and words from various dialects, and it's spoken by too many people who are clearly uneducated, as evinced by their unwillingness to learn to converse in a civilized and syntactically pure tongue.

> the details end up changing every 2-3 years, so you need to re-compile all your code

I could be wrong, but I think that was part of the original plan: Machine code would be thrown away along with the hardware, only the (implicitly C) sources would be saved, and you'd rebuild the world with your shiny new compiler revision to make use of a shiny new computer. Implicit in this model is the idea that compilers are smart and fast and can take advantage of minor hardware differences.

Compare this to the System/360 philosophy, where microcode is meant to 'paper over' all differences between different models of the same generation and even different generations of the same family so machine code is saved forever and constantly reused. (This way of doing things was introduced with the System/360, as a matter of fact.) Implicit in this model is the idea that compilers are slow, stupid, and need a high-level machine language where microcode takes advantage of low-level machine details.

A half-step between these worlds is bytecode, which can either be run in an interpreter or compiled to machine code over and over again. The AS/400, also from IBM, takes the latter approach: Compilers generate bytecode, which is compiled down to machine code and saved to disk when the program is first run and whenever the bytecode is newer than the machine code on disk; when upgrading, only the bytecode is saved, and the compilation to machine code happens all over again. IBM was able to transition its customers from CISC to RISC AS/400 hardware in this fashion.

As you said, the world didn't work like the RISC model, and we now have hardware designed on the System/360 model along with compilers even better than the ones RISC systems had designed for them. Getting acceptable performance out of C code has never been easier, but going the last mile to get the absolute most means making increasingly fine distinctions between types of hardware that all try hard to look exactly the same to software.

Does anyone know the back story on why Kickstarter is so restrictive?

Kickstarter can't be used to raise money for causes, whether it’s the Red Cross or a scholarship, or for “fund my life” projects, like tuition or bills.

Indiegogo has no problem with it though.

Kickstarter also requires each project team to sign up for their own Amazon payments account. Why wouldn't Kickstarter just collect the money and then wire it / cut a check to the funding recipient?

Also, why does Indiegogo charge upfront while Kickstarter waits until the campaign is successful?

The whole crowdfunding space seems to operate pretty illogically. Are there legal complexities that aren't apparent to an outsider that force their hand?

The number of people using Bitcoin now is negligible, it may as well be 0. Coinbase is perfectly positioned to be a serious player if Bitcoin does achieve the lofty goals supporters are aiming for: Coinbase will make money hand over fist from personal users if that happens. 0% for merchants is Coinbase investing in the long term success of Bitcoin. The money they would make now from charging merchants is inconsequential compared to the money they will make long term if Bitcoin succeeds.

"My impression is that the majority of success-oriented communication in soccer is nonverbal."

No, if payers wore mic's you would hear it is very verbal as well, just lip read sometimes or in preseason watch a warmup game since the crowd is small you can hear all the calls, "wazza backdoor" etc, is mainly between one to three words, but you use everything you have. Then half-time, the strategy sessions are all talk. I forgot to mention when the coach can't speak english or any other home lanhuage but still is successful.
So in short... if anyone gets the chance of an sql injection, they have access to all tables and all schemas from any app that can access your database. Privilege separation is a very good idea. Not opening the database file directly is a very good idea too.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying every application needs it. If you actually use it as a replacement for local files, that's great. If you use a multi-user app containing sensitive data - "root password (wtf, everybody hate passwords)" this is so wrong. Reminds me of "chmod 777 everything" - wtf, everybody hates dealing with permissions.
Coinbase is not instant like advertised, it's identity verification system to level 2(the one that is instant) is incorrect and I try it every day but it will not accept that the information I provide to prove my identity is correct, even though it is. So I'm stuck at level 1 for no reason,

Coinbase's main thing going with it is that they're the only competitor that seems to have not let the entire operation burn down(bitinstant).
On personal exchanges between Bitcoin and other currencies.

Also, on the increased value (deflation) of Bitcoin they already hold from the increased adoption caused by the allure of fee free e-commerce.
I fails to see how HTTPS Everywhere + a nag whenever a form is detected on a HTTP page doesn't make this a complete non-issue. OP is not giving Mozilla any credit.

If OP has ever used Tor, he would know that the performance hit is so huge, that no-one in there right mind is going to leave it on by default, if that's even an option. In OPs myopic view, he's missing the fact the the added benefit built in anonymity to all FF Users far outweighs this hypothetical security risk.

Brandon Keepers - Git: The NoSQL Database
To answer your questions: "What important initiatives and projects have emerged so far? Are you working on a project that returns privacy to the people? Tell HN about it."

We started working on a project a couple of years ago that would allow users to run their own private servers that will talk to their trusted friends and family and allow search and share without leaking data. Its not impossible to spy on, but the hope is that it will not allow mass surveillance. Currently it allows PDF ebooks and photo albums, + an interface to the file system that users can use to store any files, and access it from anywhere. The connection from the browser to their own servers is encrypted end to end.

Clientside JS for crypto? No. Bad idea.

Their reasons:

> Secure delivery of Javascript to browsers is a chicken-egg problem.

> Browser Javascript is hostile to cryptography.

> The "view-source" transparency of Javascript is illusory.

> Until those problems are fixed, Javascript isn't a serious crypto research environment, and suffers for it.

I find that I have to learn how the phoneme is actually said (where is the tongue, etc.) and then practice it a lot with recording(s) of native speakers (i.e. a recorded TV show) to compare with. Once you can make the right sound, practice it until you can say it easily.

If you have friendly native speakers, you may be able to get them to exaggerate the sound. E.G. the difference between thin and then is that the 'th' in then gets voiced (your throat vibrates) and the vowel is different. 'World' has an extra syllable (wur - ul - d) vs. 'word' (wur - d). I'm less sure about your issues with the others, save that certain sounds probably don't exist in your native language.

And those you just have to study & practice. I know how hard it is, though, having learned such sounds as 'ng', the 'eu' vowel in 'feu' (French - fire), glottal stops (yes, those exists in the English word bookcase, but...), the Japanese 'R'-group sounds (they're not 'R's or 'L's as we know them).
