Re: Oops

Somewhere I learned that error checking or parity type memory is designed to
protect against cosmic rays, way up in the EM spectrum, and rarely happens
to anyone anywhere. How infrequently, from where these rays come from and
what they're like and whether this is the primary design consideration for
this hardware I don't know, but would like to.
