Port Mozilla, Collect $3696
An anonymous reader writes "The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga that Amiga programmers will be falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.
The booty currently stands at $3696. Parties interested in making some extra cash to pay off student loans/go on a wild bender can find more infomation here."
Would Moz even be able to run on an 8 mhz Amiga 500.
You overclocked yours? 1337!
Of course it runs NetBSD. BTC: 1NT7QvbetmANwaMzhpVL6
$3676? Hmmm....
/. for insipring your creative genius to aforementioned experiments.
$40 to build a shocking Xbox controller.
$100 to buy a Dremel Powertool to explode Steve Miller Cds to infinity
$300 emergeny room visit to have a RN look at your electrical burns on your hands and to pull CD shards out of your ass.
$3236 To start litigation against
What do you call amigaos 4.0?
"vaporware"
both amiga programmers will be fighting hard to get the cash.
I used to use the GCC tools on the amiga (ADE - or whatever it turned into). But then that slowly went stagnant - and it was 10x faster to cross-compile stuff on the FreeBSD/Pentium166 than to wait for the A3000/'030.
When Amiga/PPC hardware started appearing, I was keen to do some portage of unix-ish type stuff - except the PPC dev toolchain was so woeful it made me want to cry.
sigh.
Cool, but useless.
If they don't want feature complete, here is my entry:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
fprintf(stderr, "IMPLEMENT ME: start running mozilla on the amiga\n");
return 0;
}
it is only after a long journey that you know the strength of the horse.
I ported the Amiga OS to run on the Dreamcast?
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
The 12-16 year old computer literate kids will be all over this
The 12-16 year old computer literate kids will be going "What the FUCK is an Amiga?"
"Information wants to be paid"
The two Amiga users left will have to split the money (and learn how to program), but $1800 or so is still quite a chunk of change. If this were 1985, they'd be able to buy a new Amiga with that kind of cash!

Eww, that furry cartoon holding the amiga beachball is kinda creeping me out.
