    So what, if your goal is to overclock, and they get destroyed due to a flash flood or other natural disaster, they still failed due to overclocking? That just makes no sense.

    I agree, that sentence makes zero sense. Nice to see you come to your senses. You've seen CSI, tho, right?

    (unless, of course, the goal was to check unit survivability in a flood)

    If you jump a hooker and catch the clap, and your wife gets it from you, and then the gardener....oh, nevermind. I've made my point :)

    ...this is how most people delude themselves in the name of 'science'.

    The goal was to overclock...if they fall off the bench and break in the process, they failed due to overclocking.

    Reminds me of how in Japan, if you are injured in a car accident, and don't die within the first 12 hours, you are not counted as a traffic fatality.

    Parachutist dies from the sudden impact with the ground, not because he jumped out of an airplane?

    Man eats glass and dies....not because he ate glass, but because he swallowed? - c'mon....

    Possible sighting of Beagle probe

    Monday, March 8, 2004 Posted: 6:43 PM EST (2343 GMT)

    LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Beagle 2, the British space probe which disappeared as it descended towards Mars, may have been spotted on the surface of the Red Planet, scientists say.

    No signal has been received from the craft since it was due to land on Christmas Day last year, despite various attempts by Mars orbiters and telescopes on Earth to make contact.

    But photographic images of the area where Beagle 2 was to have come down show four bright spots, dubbed a "string of pearls" by scientists, which may be the remains of the probe.

    "It could be the lander with its air bags and parachute," said Lutz Richter from the German Aerospace Center, who helped plan the Beagle 2 project as part of Europe's first solo mission to another planet.

    The marketing is in Japan, primarily - point being that is the target market, logic, etc...people outside of Japan aren't really part of the mix in terms of being expected to factor in, so to speak. There's no question the plan will work, believe me :)
