Oh look, another peon who thinks he's some sort of computer expert.

Bit flips happen all the time. One stray cosmic ray hits your RAM just

Sometimes computers fuck up without any human interaction.  Has nothing 
to do with the OS or Humans.  Sometimes it's just a random cosmic ray 
and that's bad luck.
