Is this really any worse than shopping online? I sometimes get grocery items delivered to my home. I'm sure their security is no better than that of the supermarket.
Seismic data processing is one of the best uses for this technology. If we could simply have a chip which would do FFTs or Matrix inversion very quickly we could reduce run times greatly. 3D seismic processing is incredibly CPU hungry due to large datasets, high sample rates and the need to really massage the data before its useful.
The article states this could be a problem for all x86 processors. Do older processors even have heat management? Also, wouldn't you need admin access to the system to be able to trigger this?
Having done some teaching at the University level I can sympathize with your frustation with students but your attitude is disturbing. You seem to forget that education is really about students not teachers or institutions. Losing control of a classroom only will only happen after you've lost the respect of the students and the quickest way to lose their respect is to take that nice "You don't like that professor's rules, take your money and go elsewhere - the school doesn't NEED you" attitude and shove it down everyone's throats.
My suggestion is to CARE about your teaching, treat students with respect and be willing to listen even when they are not reasonable (we're supposed to be the mature one's here). You won't need to worry about "controlling" the classroom and students might even enjoy the learning process.

On the other hand... It is the European Space Agency...
