i agree about the os but i dont agree on the attempt part
dont attempt it. do it. a computer is not that complex of a machine
at least a pc. an os is all theory and vision.
u can think up an entire os away from any pc.
u could then just go in and code the entire thing.
the hard part is thinking up what it is that u want
and how it has to work. the coding and so forth
is the easy part. this is the exact project i am working
on now

Can we please have complete sentences, some capitalization, proper
grammatical structure and standard punctuation please? It's not even
worth my time to try to make sense of this chicken scratch.

Get used to it, folks ... it's that "text-messaging" mentality taking over.
It's where kids who can't read and write are trying to send messages in text
on their cellphones, since they don't really have anything to say, either.

OK. But "getting used to it" in no way implies "sitting still for
it".
I kind of enjoy the fact that I think & speak hillbilly. I flatter
myself that I can still impart that regional flavor, when I want, to my
communication without trashing my grammar and spelling.
As far as 3V17 H4x0r language, or a wannabe ee cummins, I
just put 'em on Ig and forget 'em.

Bah!
A cell phone is a lot like a hard-hat. A necessary nuisance that's part
of my job.
I watched a guy in L.A. this year walk into a very expensive restaurant
ahead of me with his phone attached to his ear. He was seated at the
table next to me, and ordered, ate, and paid for his meal without ever
interrupting the conversation. It took him 3 or 4 minutes to order,
because he literally never stopped talking. In whose world is it
acceptable to A) carry on a conversation while your waiter stands there?
B) carry on a phone conversation with your mouth full? or C) insult a
really good meal by shoveling it in while you do business?
Mobile communication is a bane.

If he were to have said that it was because he has no arms and is pecking
it out with a mouth stick, or entering text in hex in a Kim, ...
then we would certainly be more tolerant.
If it is being done in order to be K00L, then it doesn't work here.
