- skidzilla, on 06/19/2008, -1/+9'rm -f /tmp/'
'mkdir /tmp/' - alecks, on 06/19/2008, -0/+8wow.. you sound so smart... They should hire you.
- alecks, on 06/19/2008, -0/+7It's 127.0.0.1
Happy Hacking... - utzig, on 06/19/2008, -1/+8If I remember right, the mars rovers also had a problem with flash memory overflow when they first landed. It was bad enough to impede normal operation of the rovers and they had to hack around to get them to boot to console or something equivalent. Sounds like the JPL memory management code in this area could be buggy?
- Joomal, on 06/19/2008, -0/+6Wow, this is great. Anyone have the IP for Phoenix? I've always wanted to hack NASA :)
- oxymoron69, on 06/19/2008, -0/+5I heard it was something that started with 192.168 hahahahahaha
- yojiffyskippy, on 06/19/2008, -3/+8This just in....
"NASA Engineer Charlie "Smartypants" Osborne discovered that he plugged in his personal 1G thumb drive into Phoenix before liftoff INSTEAD of the required 16G drive. In addition to dataoverflow problems with Phoenix, Charlie is also missing his 1G drive and his car keys that were attached to it" - diothar, on 06/19/2008, -0/+5Now you're just splitting hairs.
- jcaino, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4'mv /tmp /tmp. ; mkdir /tmp ; chown bin:bin /tmp ; chmod 1777 /tmp ; nice rm -Rf /tmp.'
- TheSuperunknown, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4I'm curious exactly how much memory Phoenix has but at the same time I'm afraid to find out because it's probably inexplicably low.
- duckyinc, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4Martian hackers launched buffer overflow attax!
- FKnight, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4rm -rf /tmp/*
- rootbeerinacan, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4How's about just
*right click* > Empty Recycle Bin ?? - SirPopper, on 06/19/2008, -2/+6Hello "Is there anybody out there?"
Pink Floyd asked this years before! - Laminarcissus, on 06/19/2008, -1/+4So is it a coincidence that a few days ago the lander discovered some so-called "white stuff" on the surface of Mars, and now it's filling up its memory with a constant stream of nonsensical data?
- marc54, on 06/19/2008, -1/+4Someone forgot to delete Cookies, History and the Temporary Internet File.
- fracai, on 06/19/2008, -1/+3rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.*
- Icetype, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2That wouldn't free up any space anyway.
- jstahnke10, on 06/19/2008, -1/+3It's probably another government scam to hide proof of alien existence.
Tell us they lost photos... Alien photos... - baylat, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2Autobots are messing with us.
- chapter78, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2Duh are you forgetting the song called 'Is There Anybody Out There?' from The Wall?
- ghuytro, on 06/19/2008, -1/+3It's Gary Sinise trying to email unresized digital photos back to Earth from his trip with the Martians.
- df12, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2Monolithic filesystem FTL..
- rootbeerinacan, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2*right click* > Empty Recycle Bin ??
- dafragsta, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Wow. No Bowie fans?
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1I thought space was infinite in size
- Dajhan, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Hmmnn, the maybe the Sith is on the move again. Truly a work of a Sith Lord.
- Dajhan, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Umnn, 512 MB?
- protogenxl, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2Nasa and their Rock Pr0n
- Joomal, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2Wow, did you think that up all by yourself? My god you must be a networking wizard
/sarcasm - electroandy, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1Duh, how much does an extra couple of gigs of memory cost?
- skidzilla, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1I'm assuming Phoenix uses the VxWorks E/OS too, so it does seem strange for the issue to re-occur.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VxWorks - joeanon, on 06/19/2008, -3/+3For like 400 million dollars.. I expect less
ISS and the space shuttle are failures. NASA isn't really offering much these days in innovation or discovery.
Then even helped cover up climate change data.
The competing space programs get things done for a fraction of the NASA costs and screw up less.
I guess every failure is new contract potential. - Regbooker, on 06/19/2008, -3/+2Hope the scientists watched Species and don't clone the genetic code the ETs uploaded into it.
- sublimemm, on 06/19/2008, -2/+1Its "is there anybody in there"... pretty much losing all reference when you quote it correctly
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home? - dafragsta, on 06/19/2008, -6/+4My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there - playmusic, on 06/19/2008, -3/+1Maybe they were trying to submit a story to digg.
- stefano1234, on 06/19/2008, -3/+0don't tell me that this is another story of the first man on the moon?
- MetalPig, on 06/19/2008, -5/+0Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter
Let the diggin down begin mother *******! You know you chuckled on the inside! - das7282, on 06/19/2008, -6/+1I tried telling them not to use Windows Vista! Dang it... they never listen!!!
- RockStarMVP, on 06/19/2008, -7/+1Isn't NASA supposed to be full of you know 'rocket scientists' you would think they would have all this figured out hahahahah
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -12/+3The team who control Phoenix is so clumsy. I couldn't have imagined such a thing like "filling up memory without any knowledge" happened for a very important project. Don't they check it at least every day?
NASA should have outsourced it to some Indians.
