... Marx @ www.paf.li wrote: "Greg Crinklaw" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... 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. -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer O dear - & he doesn't even realise that he cannot retro-calculate observations beyond the Trecento, _ie_ follow the logic in http://www.paf.li/05%20Evidence.pdf, let alone predict the future. |

I run my file cleaner once a week like clock work and even more often if I have done file creation intensive work. And do you do this ala a user command or a timed batch job? Batch isn't usually done on a realtime system. Do you really take a chance and do the purge system-wide or do you limit it to a directory? A system-wide purge is just asking for Murphy to make visit and there aren't any operators to restore the one crucial file on Mars. ... I also purge my mailboxes of junk and deleted e-mail every other day. My capacity usage never exceeds five percent, unless someone sends me mail with a really humongous file attachment. Does the disk usage report include files that can be undeleted? If it doesn't, then you have lots of crap on your disk that is invisible to you but NOT the operating system. I have see a file full meassage on my computer maybe once, about 12 years ago. For what kind of capacity? Now compare that to the RAM on Mars. Also remember that RAM is memory not disk. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. |
