OS-Developing Challenge

A good friend of mine, Max, studying computer science in Karlsruhe and I decided yesterday that all currently existing and established Operating Systems suck. This is nothing new. Really not, there are some million users knowing what I’m talking about.
So our goal is to develop an Operating System without any legacy stuff ( No, no serial port support.. ) that is easily extendable and based on some kind of microkernel yet to be developed. And no, we don’t have too much time, just too less fun. Anyway, I’ll keep you updated here. I’ve gotta go back to reading Tanenbaum, great book.

Online Password Storage

The user home screen.I wrote one. Based on Rails, working reliable. The encryption is designed in way that prohibits even the database administrator to access them. I showed it to a few people. The response was that it seems that no one is willing to give away passwords.
But the project is cool. By installing a bookmarklet you can easily login to any page you registered at _my_ service by simply clicking on that bookmarklet.. works mostly. Maybe I’m going to put it online someday, but not until I fixed the encryption so that it happens only in the browser, to prevent any passwords being sent in plain.
I would really appreciate some comments.
