Mars expedition

Just an observation. I followed the link to the Mars expedition to find out more on this example of priority inversion. I didn't find anything in the body of the text that suggested obvious priority inversion; the text essentially says 'probably the battery ran out and it froze'. It just occurs to me to check the references on *this* article, as maybe this will explain more. But it would be nice to have a smoother linkage to this interesting and prominently featured example.

Indeed there was an External link regarding this. I've edited the page to point users to the link. I'm not sure if it is proper style to point people to External links, so feel to revert if this inappropriate. I just figured "be bold"... Jebbo 21:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Priority ceilings

The second-to-last paragraph of this article, about priority ceilings, should be expanded to include better explanation for non-technical readers. 68.50.203.109 03:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I reformatted the solutions for better readability, this also makes the link to the priority ceiling article more visible. Vinsci 14:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removing "disputed"

Since the statement about priority inversion on Mars Pathfinder is verified and the priority ceiling link is clarified, I will now remove the Disputed mark on this article.

Very well written article - Thanks!

Concise and too the point. Thanks so much! Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 19:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
