Earlier today a friend of mind linked me to what has to be the most hilarious request ever made on one of those freelance coder for hire sites.
Just feast your eyes on this beautiful opportunity. Wouldn’t you just love to win the bid on that? 1-3 thousand dollars for an operating system is quite a fabulous chance to make some easy money quickly.
By far my favorite response has got to be this one:
Hi. I can do this for you next week, when I plan on taking a break from a nonotech based / atomic fission driven search engine thats going to make larry page wet his pants. 6 days to code, 1 to rest. It will be written from scratch and completely original in design, so don't worry about copyright bs. I plan to write the entire OS in C, and blindfolded, if its all the same to you. 100% secure will not be a problem either...In fact the OS will be designed to leverage jedi mind tricks to kill anyone that even thinks about breaking in. (i was thinking maybe make them chop off their feet and jump up and down until their empty would be fair). Anyways, I'm gonna smoke some more crack, maybe you should do the same. Thanks!

Amazingly there are a lot of really serious looking bids there for around a thousand dollars. It just goes to show you that there will always be a team of people willing to write scripts to ensure better bids on sites like that. Tisk tisk.
