I may be asking too much in looking for a reputable source such as CNN, but that's kind of what I'm looking for...

Thanks for those though.

Ah, sorry. Tried CNN and MSNBC, but nothing there...

Found this, though: http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/m0NEW/2000_Dec_26/68501911/p1/article.jhtml?term=%2BHussein+%2BPlaystation
Apparently Sony says it's not true. Although slightly less than certainly.

When they first made the PS2, if you took it apart and built it the right way.. you could fire a missle with it.

Fucking morons. I think Sony made it all up for pubilicity. Remember the 75 million polygons per second it was supposed to do? That went down to just 5 million or so. heh. Linking cpus? 12-15 of them? Ya right retards. It would require something in the middle to connect them all together or something. And afterall, PC Dual Cpus doesn't help because the software has to be capable of it. It would be hell to try to write software to run on 12-15 cpus...

The whole idea is bullshit.

Uhh do they have scematics of the PS2's and uhh how do make the device, uhh just wondering, for no reason, just to kill, yeah kill, who oh yeah, uhh time. yeah that'll work. I heard of that though, I just tripped the kid after he said that, it left me quite satisfied actaully.

That's the thing, it was be extremely difficult to design a "device" to use that many cpus, and then programming for it? Fucking forget it.

You think we'd ship Saddam PC's? The PS2 is considered a toy. That's why he'd be able to get them in the first place.
