MenuetOS Debuts

Posted by michael on from the next-linus dept.

Eugenia Loli-Queru writes: "OSNews is hosting an interview with Ville Turjanmaa, the creator of the Menuet Operating System. Menuet is a new, 32-bit OS under the GPL and it fits to a single floppy (along with 10 or so more applications that come as standard with the OS). It features protection for the memory and code, it has a GUI running at 16.7 million colors (except with 3Dfx Voodoo cards), sound at 44.1 khz stereo etc. And the most important and notable feature? The whole OS was written in 100%, pure 32-bit x86 assembly code!"

    Green Day - Maria

    She smashed the radio
    with the board of education
    turn up the static left of
    the state of the nation

    Turn up the flame
    step on the gas
    burning the flag at half mast
    she's a rebel's forgotten son
    an export of the revolution

    She is the first voice
    of the last ones in the line
    she'll drag the lake
    to keep the vendetta alive

    Bring in the head of the government
    the dog ate the document
    somebody shot the President
    and noone knows where Maria went?

    Maria,
    Maria,
    Maria, where did you go?...

    Be careful what your offering
    your breath lacks the convicion
    drawing the line in the dirt
    because the last decision.. is no!

  2. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    I just heard some sad news on slashdot - Anonymous Coward's penis was found dead in his boyfriend's ass this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't suck his dick, you've probably enjoyed it up your ass. Truly an american faggot.

    Perhaps the chances of being an ass actually get higher as the UID approaches zero.....
