Posted by timothy on from the no-one-can-hear-you-bleep-in-space dept.

jrepin writes "On day two of the 2013 Embedded Linux Conference, Robert Rose of SpaceX spoke about the 'Lessons Learned Developing Software for Space Vehicles.' In his talk, he discussed how SpaceX develops its Linux-based software for a wide variety of tasks needed to put spacecraft into orbit—and eventually beyond. Linux runs everywhere at SpaceX, he said, on everything from desktops to spacecraft."

    Okay, somebody ban this guy, or if you can't do that, then impose a maximum length restriction for postings.

      Set up a SPAM filter. Most of his stuff is copy-paste.

    The moderation system is there so you can impose your opinion on otherwise reasonable posts. That's what it's used for, that's what it's best at, Slashdot refuses to change it (I'd say fix it, but it appears to be working as intended)

    Oh, woe is you.

    The slashdot system is so bad it must be the worst [*] site on the internet. Oh so sad. :( :( :( :( :(

    And the editors refuse to fix it because they're so biased. I'll bet they ignored all of your brilliant suggestions.

    Oh the humanity. :( :( :( :( :(

    So what is your brilliant moderation system that prevents (a) a dedicated pool of corrubtible moderators (b) scales up to a site the size of slashdot and (c) is not easily gamed by spammers and lamers and (d) is completely impervious to the whims of popular opinion?

    I await with interest, but little hope.

    Oh, and can I gt a side order of fries wth all that smug?

    [*] Except the rest. Have you even seen the internet?
