Erm ... quite. The worlds economy would come to an overnight halt if "bad bits" were as common as that! Fortunately the computers that control the worlds economy (ie those belonging to banks and governments and the internet)don't spend too much time orbiting above the stratosphere where cosmic ray densities are somewhat more of a problem. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
