Description
"While highly rare, it is known, that occasionally individual bits may be flipped in different hardware devices due to manufacturing defects or cosmic rays hitting just the right spot (Simonite March 7, 2008). This is similar to mutations observed in living organisms and may result in a modification of an intelligent system."
