Haven't been logging on to the ol' PF as of late, but I'm hoping that one of you may remember more details about something I seem to recall.
Probably a good 5 to 8 years ago, I recall there being a video somewhere (this preceded YouTube!) demonstrating the robustness of an FPGA-based computer system (as I recall). The video had a picture of a guy taking potshots at a board with a rifle or a shotgun, and with the claim that the computer was continuing to chug along and (if I recall correctly) and with the display continuing completely uninterrupted.
Would anybody recall the name of the company or research group behind this, or better yet, the video itself? My Google-fu is too weak to come up with anything, so perhaps I'm merely re-imagining the printer scene from Office Space?
