A new rover with the recently invented instruments I hope. And maybe new experiments.
Finding life in Mars, $4million/rover/year.
Introducing life on mars, priceless.
Very true. And instead of finding faults of this 'Josh', management should look at themselves because they are part of the problem. I believe in small sub-groups and code ownership in software projects. Only then you can truly have a 'team' in software development.
I totally agree with you. That's the first thing that came to my mind that the poster is just plain jealous that he doesn't have the skills. As for me, when I meet people like 'Josh', I try to learn and better my self. Make this person my bar and realize that even after the many software you have written, I still can learn more.
Depends really on the type of software you write. Sometimes 'mediocre' just wouldn't do.:-)
And also, I think these bad side is not the rule for really brilliant coders, but the exception. Most just ignore the noise and let their work do the talking.
So are you saying that threads are not necessary?
With the browser as probably one of the key applications in the internet, I think it should make use of parallel processing. Esp. because we are and will be using multi-core systems.
I think it is a problem for American companies to compete with Chinese/Indian/Philippine companies which pays very very less compared to American salaries for a job which can be done if not better, of the same quality as the American software.:-)
I agree. Because these people are not doing their jobs right. And what's worse, they hate the people who can expose these shortcomings.
Much like the full-disclosure issue, it puts some pressure on responsible people to do their jobs right.
Or he may have hired not-so-experienced developers. Clearly with the direction of not re-using available code shows probably inexperience.
Sotware development, either open-source or not should have a drafted schedules/release cycles to follow. The advantage of open-source is that there is little or no constraint with regards to marketing or shipping the product compared to proprietary.

Or it may be Sarah Palin herself...

I think they call it a 'second chance'.. much like ex-convicts should have also, provided they have paid for those previous mistakes.
So you mean they will be suing themselves because they are looking for the people behind Psystar... doesn't make sense to me. :-)
It's not all about uptime. Have you heard about _SECURITY_?

Then how is it different from virtualization software like vmware, virtualbox, etc..?

Most red flags are probably used in Chinese football.
that is so funny. :)
i can't see their site. it's been /.ed.
