I reached out by e-mail once, out of similar curiosity to the parent, and got a string of replies that made about as much sense as his comments here. The mails kept coming, several minutes apart... I was actually worried I'd stepped into a situation I didn't want to be in. I'm convinced there are some real psychological problems there that startup advice won't help with... > I'm some kind of terrorist lab animal, in jail--shrinks abuse me and shit. > All I can do is post to HN News and yell at my shrinks. > I get fake downloads and no emails. Total terrorist lab rat abused by shrinks. It is sad. I hope he does see those shrinks.

From his comments and yours, here is what might have happened: He developed an operating system by himself, spent a lot of effort in it. Despite spending a large part of his life on this project, not many people are interested. In despair, and alone, all he thinks about everyday is losethos, as you can see in each comment. In his mind, everything links back to losethos in someway. `I could do USB but keyboard and mice aren't any better, possibly worse from a compatibility state. Memory sticks would be really nice. Now, we're in the domain of distinctive drivers for similar pieces of hardware. Can't do that. Might be able to.` He seems to have related this article to how he didn't implement drivers for those accessories in his OS. (Schleps) I am guessing he was sent to a clinic by his parents. `I don't know. I don't even care. I don't care about one person. Parents are enemies. I pay them $600 they take care of me, but abuse me, I prolly abuse them. This is heaven -- argument clinic and I'm telling truth all the time, except for wild speculation. I don't know shit about reality.` His frequent references to God suggests someone close has given him a bible, in an attempt to help him. He is able to comment on HN probably because he still has access to his computer and internet. Pouring your life into a project, only after finding nobody cares much about it, while living alone for years... I can see how I'd become mentally unstable too. =( `Frustration over my reality being bogus, sucks.` http://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=K3sfeO8PZb http://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=K3sfeO8PZb He was probably told that by doctors. Could it be caused by long-term denial? Here's more of him elsewhere: http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18514&start=15 http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18514&sta...
