Hey Brad,

Whats the significance of allowing people to ignore themselves?

Is that feature really supposed to allow someone to ignore themselves?

seems like some sort of a bug or maybe an undocumented feature. Kind of like what was in the HP-1000.

HP-1000 had a feature where a simple card with the proper instruction if fed thru caused the system to crash. Instead of fixing it to perform a clean shutdown, HP decided to market that as a quick way to crash your system if it was infiltrated by unauthorized person(s).
