I'm seriously disappointed in all of you.

More seriously : well done JPL, looks like you made it!

Now we've just got to wait for two years to see if they find anything ...

Just want to be clear that HTML and Javascript had nothing to do with the success of the mission. Long live C/C++ and its derivatives C# and Java the real languages that propel our future.

On the contrary. If they used JavaScript we'd probably have Mars bases by now because of the improved productivity. Type casting couldn't make rockets go boom, because JavaScript only has one number type. So there.

... to the GNOME project as well (well at least looks Metacity to me).

@Erisan:From what I could see last night, it looked more like CDE. Or something similar to it... could even be a customized Metacity...

Great news ... just watched the landing ... I missed it live. Quite the relief when it sent back the first images.

Good to see they fixed the imperial/metric system bug,...
Edit; Thanks Sven!

@PaoloM:
Clearlooks Theme for Metacity/Compiz, which is also default in Gnome

One of the GUIs based tab and button styles looks like unstyled Swing (Java GUI toolkit), although another GUI looked unfamiliar, possibly Motif/Lesstif based.

All the workstations are Sun, so it's probably whatever motif theme ships with Solaris...

Don't worry... I'm a doctor.
That's the imperial system. Empirical is something else entirely.

Here's a thought for SteveB: did NASA pay Microsoft for the patents in Linux?

Type-casting happens all the time in Javascript. Difference is that the programmer doesn't get to choose when or how it happens - it just happens under the hood without telling you.

@PaoloM: I think that was the default the last time I used Solaris running on a Sun workstation (which admittedly was a few years ago). Technically are they still Sun workstations or Oracle workstations?

It was nice to watch live streamed on the web, had the boys with me. NASA did a good job too, as they had guys with headsets on telling us what's happening in langauge for the lay man.
I'm also amazed how few thruster pushes it took in the atmosphere to line up with the landing site. Just the fact that they can throw something from earth at another planet and plop it right where they want to....amazing.
