Would reducing the speed memory is clocked at prevent this?

Yes, it would, as would overvoltage, and reducing the refresh interval. The latter reduces memory subsystem performance, however.

row access counters in memory controller would solve this problem - too many accesses between refresh cycles -> force refresh cycle for that particular row/potentially affected rows

Anything that reduces the number of times memory can be accessed between refreshes can mitigate this, reducing RAM clock (probably) included

It may only have had 128 Bytes of RAM, but it used 4K ROM cartridges, even more than that if the cartridge used bank switching. So Atari 2600 programmes had quite a bit more room to fit inside.

IIRC, early cartridges only had 1 or 2k - the 4k was a limit for a while, but I don't think they all shipped with 4k in the beginning (cost savings). IIRC there was a trick later to allow for 8k cartridges (Pitfall II was 8k, I think, but memory may be failing me).

IIRC, Pitfall II was 2K. 255 different levels in 2K, memorable isn't it ? :)

It seems to be working here. What symptoms do you have?

"More research is needed to see whether the reversal is permanent, say experts."

A single small trial isn't something to base medical advice around.

Great point. As a matter of fact, parachutes have never had a randomized controlled trial. They should be avoided also.

If you want to base your life around the results of single, small scale studies, that's your choice. But I've seen too many studies that seemed impressive, but when people set out to replicate the the study, they failed to get the same results. This is not rare, it happens frequently.

Before I went into medicine, I too might have missed the point I was making, which is that eating less almost certainly reverses the vast, vast majority of type 2 diabetes. I mean, within a day.

Americans eat so much they think overeating is normal. Bariatric patients (morbidly obese people getting their stomach essentially amputated, see Roux-en-Y) are generally told to fast for 24 hours prior to surgery. Their glucose levels before surgery are often normal, for the first time in decades.

The association between food intake and obesity is far, far stronger than cigarettes and lung cancer, even stronger than Hep B and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Asserting that eating less (and I do mean significantly less) needs to be studied more is like saying we should hold off on parachute use until more studies are done.

Engineering != science || medicine.

It can be used in both, and can use science, but that doesn't make it the same thing.

P.S. http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/1524537 is a study on parachute effectiveness

If you're going to be sentenced as if you'd killed someone, even though you didn't, then you've got nothing to lose by actually killing someone.

Not the most sensible law ever created.

Why did someone feel the need to have a photo of a topless 11 year old on that article?! It's not something I expect to see on a page about planes

There are three paragraphs in the article discussing that photo and the surrounding controversy. It would have been annoying to make the reader have to leave the article to actually see the photo.
