Btw, the _real_ bug is clearly in the hardware design that allows you to 
brick those things without apparently even having a lock bit.

I'm hoping Intel doesn't treat this as just a software bug. Some hw 
designer should be thinking hard about which orifice they put their head 
up in.

It used to be that you could fry some monitors by feeding them 
out-of-range signals. The _monitors_ got fixed.
