He's clearly not enjoying that brightness, Stu! :p
Anyway, apparently this is a car bomb explosion. I just thought I would post it here.
Absolutely ing mental. |

Its an IED and a car bomb, what is referred to as a VBIED or Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device.
An emplaced IED would not usually produce an explosion that big (most emplaced IED are old 152mm pre-invasion artillery rounds) and are meant to be easily hidden along side a road.
That was def something you'd stick in a truck (many artillery rounds, or possibly older aerial bombs, or even ANFO). |

Actually, that would be a good argument, because you'd have to assume he studied at least a bit about the subject before he wrote the code :p |

Why would he? What standards is held to? As a scholar and scientist, your field or research and publishing is held to appropriate scrutiny. As QA at an engineering programming and CAD development company, believe that mine and my programmers' work is absolutely held to a standard, especially when it comes to quoting manufacturing standards and our clients' expenditures, as you might imagine. :p
Who seriously might sit down with what he does and tells him how fantastical and unrealistic it is? Who might hold him to any standard, as a peer? For real question, as I am both skeptical and curious, especially considering how none of his supposed military contracts seem to have actually gone through to testing, much less earned him any compensation. Or am I wrong about this fact?
//To be clear, I love what Nou does, it's awesome. As a hobby, it's completely respectable. He just shouldn't have ever let us know he doesn't get paid for it, ever. |

I don't know, I imagine his clients want his simulator to be as realistic as possible, so he'd have to know quite a lot about what's supposed to happen in order to make the simulation... I could be wrong though. Even if he's not been paid yet, and it's an issue with how real the simulator is(n't), I'm sure he's passionate enough about it to read all he can about it... |

| Wait, who does he work for? If he's self-employed, has he never sold anything? :conf: |
