An update on the Spirit problem from today's
press conference: the most likely problem is
that they simply had too many files stored in
the flash memory, overloading the RAM required
to handle them all.


We hear about Greg being on that programming
team & now you sit there & tell us that such a
contingency wasn't assessed, evaluated &
programmed for? Do the money providers know
about such awful - no: criminal - carelessness?


For the record I'm not on any programming
team but my own. That was just a joke
somebody made (complete with smiley).
You clearly have diminished capabilities
when it comes to reading comprehension,
if not comprehension in general.


The latter, when it comes to your sort of

Complex systems can behave in unexpected
ways in the real world, no matter how much
testing you do. That's just a fact of life in the
software world. What counts is that they took
every precaution to make sure that any problem
would not end the mission.


With such tripe you don't answer the reproach
that such a contingency, "as the most likely
problem is that they simply had too many files
stored in the flash memory, overloading the RAM
required to handle them all", wasn't assessed,
evaluated & programmed for.

You have less than zero credibility, so your
accusations carry no weight.


If such is your logic to excuse the reproach
we can only be grateful that you were not
adding to the programming nincompoops'
mental powers.

You should really go back to taking your
meds now.


Yes - some sleep is quite healthy & obviously
called for - try it yourself one of these nights.

I'm a just because I mistyped something?


"You clearly have diminished capabilities
when it comes to reading comprehension,
if not comprehension in general."

Has some of your self esteem been restored
now? Get a clue and join the real world.
That might solve your real problem.


But not the world's problem of sci.Stupidity.

Ok, now go crawl back into whatever cave
you crawled out of.
