*promote not coz i like it, but this makes me feel much more normal.

1 more thing. I bet this would be a fine way to teach someone programming. I mean it's wierd, but I bet you could learn it in an afternoon.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, November 13th, 2010 12:09pm PST - promote requested by marinara.

Graphics suck.

Quote from reddit:

"Yeah - I moderate a message board where this guy used to continually post (until we banned him) - he's a little mixed up.

My favourite quote was him saying that God had told him to use only 640x480x16 mode.

So, uh, yeah."



Still upvoted...

Oh and you should totally check out his kickass music at

and

http://www.losethos.com/hymns.html

Well of course he's a single man.

I did some digging around since I found this guy's personality to be intriguing... from what I found he's off-the-deep-end religious, off his rocker in his ire for Linux AND networking in general, and is generally ego-driven and makes internets only to promote this OS... anyone so much as says 'boo' and he freaks the hell out.

so says osdev.org,gamedev.net, Dr. Google, and his own site.

Fascinating!

[edit] this site has what I was trying to say here:

http://warmowski.wordpress.com/2010/11/13/losethos-when-god-tells-you-to-build-an-os-you-build-an-os/

He'll wake up from the organized religion eventually; he's too smart for that stuff to continue to compute. ;-)

This is amazing! Upvote for anyone willing to sacrifice their time to forward even the idea of an alternative OS. Hooray!

pretty cool, but it sounds like his nervousness is going to explode in a glorious oral outpouring of cheetos and mountain dew.

Am I the only one to think that the guy sounds so stoned?

Sounds like 350lbs of lonely nerd to me.

"You can get a free demo version and try it out yourself and then decide if you want to buy it or not"

Who on earth would want to try that crap out, even if free...??

If the Soviets ran Silicon Valley...

wow. just wow. He needs 8-cores, 12 GB ram, 64-bit OS, to do what a 12MHz 286 running DOS could do 25 years ago ?

Seriously, why did he make a whole OS ? (or half OS, because it doesn't support multiple users, like unix did in 1970). He could have just made a custom shell for "recreational programming" that has all the same features, but would just run in user mode on top of linux/unix/windows (under cygwin at least).

If his goal was to create an RTOS, he certainly didn't show off any real-time features.

This could quite possibly be the most insecure OS ever, everything running in kernel mode, and everything can see all areas of memory. Although doesn't look like he has network support, so no big deal

If you want to do recreational programming, or teach a kid how to program I recommend Squeak (based on SmallTalk)
http://www.squeak.org/About/

If you want to learn x86 assembly, get a DOS virtual machine and use NASM.

Anyway, uh. So, uh. Now, uh. Let's uh.

Throw in some random videos from a basement dungeon and he could almost review movies.

And a virgin, just like me.

Who needs graphics? Text mode FTW! I still use command prompts, DOS, text-based programs (e.g., ssh, mc, ncftp, wget, aria2c, tin, BitchX (sometimes epic), mutt (used to use Pine), etc.).

Aspergers, Aspergers everywhere.

It looks like a much less polished, much more hardware bound knockoff of Oberon I'm all for people trying novel OS ideas, but this looks like a massive kludge with no coherent, or interesting, features, that are not already well developed in existing OSs.

Sure doing this is hard, but hard ≠ worth doing.
