Re: It's not the fault of Linux
"Anything that causes memory corruption on hardware level is, IMO, a hardware fault, and therefore grounds for returning the hardware to the retailer as unfit for purpose."
All electrical and mechanical devices will fail if you take them far enough out of their normal operating regime, this is no different.
This is the equivalent of taking an ordinary road car, and driving it constantly up and down a road full of potholes, until parts fall off (the clever bit here is they've tuned the potholes just right to make the bit they want fall off). It's just not something that's going to happen in normal daily operation. If you have to drive over bumpy roads, you buy a vehicle with better suspension, if you're hammering your DDR then you buy ECC.
