Here is a post by tw explaining that he uses a hairdryer to cause memory failures.

You sorry, insensitive bastards. My sister was killed by a hairdryer, in the WTC on 9/11. But she would have lol'ed at UT's last post.

What would UT posted if he understood the previous discusson? "Here is a post by tw explaining that he uses a hairdryer to *locate* memory failures."

UT you changed one word because you complete did not understand or intentionally misrepresent that post. Completely obvious in that post is that heat does not damage memory - does not *cause* damage. Working in IT, then you should know such temperatures don't cause electronics damage - it should be that obvious.

A hairdryer will not cause memory hardware failure. Heat causes operational/timing/program execution failure. A 'crash' created because hardware is already completely defective even if the computer still works fine at room temperature.

Heat from a hairdryer only causes cell phone damage when myth purveyors declare it to be so.

Why completely misrepresent what that "Anatomy of a hang" discussed in Mar 2006? Intentionally misrepresenting what was posted or just did not understand a simple diagnostic technique?
