If it wasn't fine, that guy wouldn't be on a hospital bed (he'd be at the morgue).

Bruce Simpson. You read Aardvark or just came across it via some other source?

he was on 60 minutes or 20/20 at some point

I came across it in the newspaper and the latter interviews on TV. I really don't know how he managed to create or purchase a proper TERCOM (terrain comparison) program to keep his missile from crashing. Looks like only a test fire will reveal the truth!

We can aim it for your house Adolf

It's a residential area, think of the widespread damage.
My house? I'll run to the bunker!

Wasn't the ps2 supposed to be capable of such calculations? I seem to recall something about it being a special export for this reason. Not that you could just plug it into a missile of course...

Years ago when PSX was out, that was one marketing ploy they had by sawing that the processing capabilities of its CPU is powerful enough to handle trajectory plots for cruise missiles. I don't know whether that's actually credible.
If that's true, bin Laden may have a whole cave full of PS systems stashed away just in case he get more components to build his own WMDs. The Taliban's known to be Japanese friendly since they used to mount .50 cal. MG on the backs of Toyota pickup trucks. LOL

Wheres the dildo simon?

The PS2 had the power to launch missiles but it was never specifically done. It was some sort of analogy that someone dreamt up but someone worked out it was THEORETICALLY possible.
Simon, was that guy's name Matt? I went to his college me thinks, a year below him.

I don't know if the engineering applications like MATLAB have the ability to do so too, since todays computers are a million times more powerful than the ones they used during the Cold War (and those ones conducted rocket and missile launches just fine). Couple of weeks back, I did a MATLAB program that tracks the trajectory of a rocket and the satellite's orbit on a seconds basis.

Erm "can't you take a joke" implies people are hassling me and I can't take it... I knew you were joking and I found it amusing. At the time. As for whether I can take a joke, see below...

the scary fact is that there could have been nothing done had it crashed into the sky tower.
it would have created chaos, but would have made for some interesting news.
El Matador - September 21, 2005 04:25 AM (GMT)
Chaos? Hardly. It wasn't the result of some cell working to undermine freedom loving New Zealanders. It was some poor bugger who couldn't cope when his marriage went south. That isn't worth chaos.

and yet you can't help but smile at the guy's style...how many people threaten to crash into the sky tower due to a marriage brake up....
