  1. Right? I learned it several years ago when I had to buy a new computer for data server in my office. The DDRs are way more expensive than the regular ones. I have to google it to understand why that damn thing are so expensive. Turned out, it has additional parity and correction system in it to guard against cosmic radiation.

  2. While they may not know how it happened, every person work in IT will immediately recognize the number. The list numbers are burned in their mind. 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536. They subconsciously memorized those numbers during their training. 4096 .. is 0001 0000 0000 0000. One bit is flipped. Somehow. I learned the reason for the flipped bit several years ago when I had to buy a new computer for data server in my office. The DDRs are way more expensive than the regular ones. I have to google it to understand why that damn thing are so expensive. Turned out, it has additional parity and correction system in it to guard against cosmic radiation.
