Hello folks, For those who design, and write software, I just thought of sharing this with you. A few years ago, a good friend of mine had me read this... <from_hollub_com> http://www.holub.com/goodies/ariane5.html Here's the full Ariane 5 Failure Report from the European equivalent of the NTSB. It describes why the rocket blew up back in the Summer of 1996. To make a long story short: someone forgot to catch an exception thrown in response to a float-to-int-conversion overflow. This report should be required reading for all programmers. It makes abundantly clear why you should care about software design. </from_hollub_com> Jeff Gutierrez --- http://www.gra.ph graPH - The substance that makes techies tick! - Philippine Linux Users Group.
