Open Source Satellite Control

Posted by michael on from the many-hands-make-light-work dept.

Debra writes "Have you ever wondered how you harness a satellite control system written in three languages, on four development platforms, and deployed to multiple client environments? With open source, naturally. When one wrong move can cost millions, you must rely on teamwork, smart design, and open standards to keep the project -- if not the satellite -- from going down in flames. This article covers software engineering basics, taking advantage of outside solutions, and scripting multi-million-dollar manuvers."

    It will all work fine until some motherfucker hax0rs it and redirects all the tv broadcasts to goatse.cx. Then we'll find out what Open Source is all about, hm?

    Here's what Netcraft says:
    The site www.goatse.cx is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Linux.
    That can't possibly be correct, but Netcraft had it right when it confirmed *BSD is dying, so who am I to contradict them? Since Microsoft is for heterosexuals and Linux is for faggots, Goatse.cx would better be described as a bisexual website.

    The closest thing to a satellite the sourceforge crowd could muster are some floaters in the toilet bowl.

    Lets hope they at least find a junior high remedial computer class to take on the task.
