That's why I took down the Pro-POS website with all the Wiki, forum, public writeable repository offline again. All talks, no code. :-

You all hate me , right?

No. It's just that you have a rather naive approach to it, and you're not the first.

I'd still feel as a greenling newbie to OS development if it weren't for the repetitive "let's do", "can I write my OS in VisualBasic", and "why not just...", which makes me feel more like being apprentice to the title of "veteran".

anyway, i have an idea that will make us all happy:
What is i make a OS named UTOS (United Team OS) with the sources of any os, resulting on a amazing os, with the help of other developers?

Ever heard of "mutually exclusive design goals"?

No, but many of us are frustrated with trying to help you. You have shown too little willingness to find answers on your own, you ask questions which are too broad or too ambiguous, you repeat questions even after they've been answered, and you rarely seem to learn much from the answers given.

Now, these are typical novice mistakes, and it's understandable that you'd make them at first. Perica, for example, was even more hard-headed the first three months he was here (when he was posting under the unnervingly appropriate name 'Berserk'), but eventually he got a clue and has now become an asset to the forum instead of an annoyance (sorry for dragging up ancient history, Perica, but you did make a rather amazing turnaround at the time, which is entirely to your credit). The problem is that after almost a year here, you are still making the same mistakes, with no sign of learning from experience. That is what irks a lot of people here.

All it would take is a quick Google search to find several open source OSes; searchs on Sourceforge and freshmeat bring up dozens. Beyond that, the .:Quicklinks:. thread also has links to available projects. And since the question has been asked before, a search on the forum would also bring up links to several, such as Clicker32 and Mobius.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I would suggest reading the How To Ask Questions The Smart Way essay again, as it has some excellent advice on how to avoid these problems. Despite appearances, we are willing to be patient and helpful for you, but you have to be thoughtful and dilligent in return.

Not that I am the most perfect forum writer ever been in netcity ]:-> - for I tend not to be a Nice Guy(tm), but even I feel quite an amount of annoyance regarding nuno_silvas repetitive questions.

But hate --- no, hate is not the game we play here. This one I decline firmly.

Nuno, you need to grow up a bit. You need to hold what is told to you. Most guys here write in their spare time between bed, breakfast and work. It's not ok to treat them the way you do.

Stay safe

Oh, the generalization trap. sometimes, talking in metaphors can be dangerous.

Beg your pardon, tim.
