          Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering why the hacker didn't demand for more money.

            Why not just cut off electricity to the system and let manual override kick in? :doh:

              Because they could pay that out of petty cash without clearing it through any executives.

                Foot override a la Chuck Norris would be better

                M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
