...some idiot pressed the big red button you're not supposed to press.

And I think this has happened before. They really need to guard that big red button you're not supposed to press a little better - maybe have alarms go off if it's pressed or something.

What's the saying -- you can never make anything foolproof, for the world will always invent a better fool. Something along that line.

That fact is, it was a complete and utter idiot who hit the BRB. There's only so much that can be done technologically -- an idiot will *always* triump!
