The real world is analog, not boolean. There is a gap between the maximum proper operating temperature and the core meltdown temperature. In this gap, many more or less tiny dysfunctions can happen. For exemple a single bit error which transforms a 1 into 0 or vice versa, changing the meaning of an instruction and causing the segfault of the process executing that instruction. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
