happily hacking away at your computer, and the doorbell rings
unexpectedly (or rather, the window shatters). Sort of an emercency
halt for the machine, specifically taking this nasty "RAM in liquid
nitrogen"-problem into account.
If you're afraid of the "RAM in liquid nitrogen"-problem, I suggest

Funny, I've actually put DRAM in liquid nitrogen when I worked at Intel
over 25 years ago. Interesting things happen to DRAM at very cold
temperatures.
