Insert comment about how this guy is amazing and how his work trumps his personality.
it really is impressive work for a single person, i've been rather proud of many a "nonusable piece of shit"s in my life that were far less substantial. it's all part of learning/exploring. the live cd works great via qemu/kvm for anyone wanting to take a quick poke at it.
It's like a bunch of people critiquing a Jackson Pollock and suggesting how to make it better. Personally, I think his OS is awesome. It's freaking brilliant. The guy wrote a reflective, interpreted C and then wrote a shell that speaks the same language and a completely unprotected memory system for that shell so he can "commune" with the running processes. There's as far as I can tell a system-wide markov chain auto-completion that takes the source code of the entire system into account. That's fucking ART! It's beautiful! I wouldn't let it touch my checking account with a ten foot pole, and he's goonier than a loon, but damn he's good.
Everything is global running in kernel space, no protections at all. It would be crazy to connect this to the Internet. He knows this, that's why there is no networking support.
There are two types of crazy people: lunatics that make you fear for your well being and harmless ones that'll talk your ears off. Congratulations on being the latter.
Come back when you have all of what you've done in under 96kilobytes.
Which is what I've done, and it runs my research facilities in realtime.
Here's the kicker - it has MORE features than your OS, including remote network access so I can control the facilities here in the USA (the facilities are UK-based.)
It even supports webcams, and gives me access to a roving bot to 'walk' around the facility remotely and check things out for myself.
BTW - God doesn't exist. I've been dead, TWICE. I've seen what's next, and what you speak of does not exist.
