Failed intercept at Dhahran caused by a software error in handling of timestamps
I remember hearing about this in my numerical analysis class.<p>1. I remember hearing the system was only designed for XX operational hours but was being run over the operational spec.<p>2. The time was stored in base 10 so the calculation errors added up over time or something like that so if they had used some base 2 timing scheme it would haven&#x27;t have had issues with rounding errors.<p>My class was in the mid nineties so the details of my 25 year old memory is pretty hazy...at best.
