I have to confess that I was the one who did it once. I was supposed
to test a new UPS for a VAX 4200, but I forgot to turn the UPS on.
UPS was supposed to send a shutdown command with 15 min. grace time, but
when I flipped the switch, everything just died. I did that after 18:00 but
I forgot that there were programmers trying to catch up with deadlines.
To make the long story short, I almost got myself lynched. Fortunately,
it was Friday, not Monday. Have you noticed how touchy people get when
someone switches off the power? People should really be much more
tolerant toward fellow human beings, even if they are sys admins.
