Could you please _try_ and live in the real world? MTBF ain't got a thing to do with it. The article talks about disrupting the memory operation by various real world means such as directing heat or radiation onto the memory module housings. The vitual machine is running on top of an operating system which is running simultaneouly inside the same memory module. I believe that it would be virtually impossible to induce by any external means small numbers of bit errors in the memory without a 99% probablilty of first crashing the operating system. Maybe it would be possible in a lab environment, but not in the typical hacker-cracks-system environment. He pulls out the hair dry, gradually blows in some heat, and presto, the computer crashes.
