Need an Operating System.
A very naive entrepreneur (or a joke) on GetACoder.com:
So I’m posting for a rather large project. I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It’s supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I’m going to sell that operating system later on. It’s going to be called BlueOrb.
The mix of responses is great. Some are hilarious (”My blue orbs will beat your blue orbs”) but are others really taking this seriously (”Well I already designed and OS for Computational chemistry research group…”)?
The mere presence of serious responses, while extreme examples, does show why even attempting to rent coders for anything more than a you-absolutely-couldn’t-possibly-screw-this-up-if-you-tried project is just A Bad Idea.
Sorry Everybody.
You know the 49% of folks in the US that didn’t vote for George Bush? Well, some of them want to apologise to the rest of the world (not the GOP!) Check out their photo gallery, quite cool.
They have published a book, also titled “Sorry Everybody”, available from Hylas Publishing or Amazon.com (.co.uk).
