You might want to think back to your basic chemistry before talking much further.
You can discriminate against gender, you can discriminate against race.
Ever hear of Bona-Fide Occupational Qualifier? Hooters successfully utilized that in court to get away with hiring only female food servers and hostesses.
It's only a matter of time before Universities get the same ability, or figure out how to obtain it for themselves.
"Private businesses can decide who do they do business with, but there's a few things they're not allowed to discriminate against, such as gender and races."
This is patently false. Age discrimination happens ALL THE TIME, OVERTLY EXPRESSED even, but it's A-okay because it doesn't fucking count unless you're over the age of 40 by Federal law.
Don't believe me? Jobrivet is one of those companies. I had a profile on the site for job applications wiped because I am over the age of 26.
" In fact, as menuetOS doesn't seem to have ASLR or W^X"
That's all going to depend on the.reloc in your APPLICATION executable, not the OS itself. You could at least be up to speed on your ASM before talking.
You obviously don't live in southern California. Here, they just drive down the HOV lane and try to cut across 5 lanes of traffic just to make an exit. Or, lanes be damned - they drive on the divider line!
"Moving your head while playing a 3D game (or watching a movie) doesn't affect the scene."
Yes it does. You either see the screen, or you start seeing less of the screen.
"When it comes to VR with head-tracking, you need another level of speed and fluid motion entirely."
Anyone that's played the standup VR head/shoulder mounted mech game you could find in arcades can tell you that's bullshit, too.
" It's not like a mouse where you've moved it to a precise location and the engine knows already exactly what frames are to be rendered next. You're organic, and it's using accelerometers and infrared head tracking to measure as carefully as possible (without the pinpoint precision that, say, a cursor or controller button has) exactly how you've moved your head, and correctly predict (it already needs to be rendering the frame before it flips it, because by then your head's moved again) what the next one's going to be."
Then maybe Oculus should use technology that's been KNOWN to work and is already tested - like the arcade mech game mentioned above.
"A fixed viewpoint 3D render like you're discussing is much "cheaper" processor-wise,"
That sure as fuck was NOT the case when Crysis was first released and I'm pretty sure that holds true still to this day with whatever iteration of the latest 3D engine and the game code some random dev spews out.
"What was actually accomplished that's worth anything?"
I can turn my computer on and pretty much INSTANTLY use it after POST.
The only other OSes to do that have been purely command-line.
The entire OS can fit within the L3 or L2 cache of modern processors, leaving the RAM entirely free for applications. Got a linux distro that will do that?
It also demonstrates the absolute shit bloat code inefficiencies of today.
MenuetOS is the demoscene of operating systems. It does what any operating system can do, faster, with fewer resources, in much smaller, tighter, SUPERIOR code.
Also, because of the code being pure ASM, most nimrod 'hackers' won't even be able to touch it, as they know jack shit about bare-metal programming. It's more secure by its nature, not by obscurity.

That is absolutely and categorically FALSE. Ever since the bringing onboard of a couple of SJW mods, there's been a HUGE attempt at controlling speech, jokes, and more. Mysogyny is NO GO but misandry is A-okay.
Slashdot, if you had ANY integrity, you would never run a piece on this lying sack of shit known as Drew Curtis, ever again.
"Importantly, "all hardware design files schematic, PCB layout and bill of materials are free for you the community to download, modify and use."
I guess you people have never heard of Allwinner, a fairly serial GPL violator. They're also pretty hostile towards the OSS community.
No Linux device tree that I can tell, which means no support for shit.
Oh, also - $9 computer with $20 shipping cost? That's the oldest eBay scam in the book. That thing only weighs a couple of ounces at most - $5 maximum even WITH insurance.
A 64-bit memory bus is like the slowest available memory bus for GPUs. Minimum 256-bit wide memory bus path is recommended. Many GPUs are gimped specifically because of the low bit-width bus.
Slashdot Mirror
Because it's designed to strike fear into you by using a negative term.
The metabolites are stable for a long time. They can transfer from paper money to your oil/sweat-laden fingerprints.
And it's usually $1s and $5s that test positive for cocaine metabolites, and cocaine itself.

Yep, it was called webring listings.

You're only losing driver and application support because you're not using Windows 2003 drivers, and applications that would work with Windows 2003.

That's what a chauffeur is for.
"And nobody in their right mind is going to write a modern standards compliant web browser in assembly."
Better look again. Kolibri has one and it works just fine last I checked.
"And it wouldn't even help, because it would still have to run bloated javascript."
Yea, no. Works just fine on my auction website. No Javascript needed.
You talk but you don't seem to have the experience.
"afaict, menuetos is not a real-time OS"
If you can't be bothered to read the first sentence off the MenuetOS main page, you're retarded.
"MenuetOS is a pre-emptive, real-time and multiprocessor Operating System in development for the PC written entirely in 32/64 bit assembly language."
"What was actually accomplished that's worth anything?"
I can turn my computer on and pretty much INSTANTLY use it after POST.

Well, not BY NAME. But it does exist.
I remember doing 60FPS 3D Gaming back on shutter glasses.
At 2048x1536.
Years ago.
On FAR WEAKER hardware than a GTX970.
What's your excuse, Oculus?
No, it's more likely those with current mod points were born in the late 90s and thus totally clueless about the awesomeness of Ren & Stimpy.
No, I'm not kidding. You get with other people that have patents, you start your own business.
Worked just fine for me and others. Find a market.
You look to become a business partner, not an employee.

And has the tax documentation to prove it!
The shipping even over seas for that absurdly low weight is no fucking more than $5.
Source: I sold LED panels and shipped them globally. Those things weighed POUNDS and didn't cost more than $15 to ship from USA to Australia.
Why are you using the Android browser instead of Firefox or Chrome?
