I'm surprised nobody mentioned Soft errors, except the PP. Alpha particles comes not only from space, but like cellular radiation and everybody fearing the tower while under inverse square law the danger is the phone, alpha particles can come from the chip package.

It's pretty rare, but I have already seen it with recent chips from a manufacturer. The manufacturer acknowledged afterward before the evidence: high exception rate, way higher than what avionics get up in the sky. Material of the package was changed and life went on with usual software bugs..

An Imaginative Use For CCTVs 191

Posted by kdawson from the one-man's-privacy-is-another-man's-publicity dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Everyone knows we're being watched by CCTVs everywhere — particularly in the UK — and virtually everyone (at least on Slashdot) complains about that fact. But have you ever stopped to consider the ways you can use all those CCTVs to your advantage? The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from Manchester in the UK, did just that; they played in front of 80 different CCTVs around Manchester, and then asked for the video via Freedom of Information Act letters. (About 25% of the CCTV owners complied with the law and turned them over.) The result isn't too bad."
