just link up a bunch of switches, buttons and a car keystart thingy (buy at an autoparts store) and then you got your very own super switch of doom]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/

The Japanese product page describes this as a "Jibaku" box. "Ji" meaning 'self' and "Baku" meaning 'explode'. Arming this on your car would imply an installation of a self destruct mechanism.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/

Boss, "What's this thing do?"
Me, "I don't know? Push it and see?"
Me, "Oh god, a blue screen?!!! I was working on the crap-cess employee database and hadn't saved it!!"
Boss, "Holy crap! Did we loose the production database?!"
Me, "I am afraid so."

if you need to destroy your data in a hurry (say, the cops were about to break down your door and book you) this would be a very stylish way to do it

i was all set to visit Akihabara on my lunch break to get one, too. What a great way to launch a game of Wolf:ET. ^_^]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/
So what'll happen?

That's just it. We don't know. Maaaybe something bad. Maaaybe something good! I guess we'll never know. 'Cause you're going to guard it! You won't touch it, will you?

Oh, how long can trusty Cadet Stimpy hold out? HOW can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existance? WILL his tortured mind give in to its uncontrollable desires? CAN he withstand the temptation to push the button that even now beckons him ever closer? WILL he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history at the mere push of a single button?!
The beautiful, shiny button!
The jolly, candylike button?!
Will he hold out, folks?
CAN he hold out?!

Only once did the entire network go down because one of the sysadmins got so pissed off with corporate ploitics, that he walked into the room and slammed the switch. I'm surprised it didn't happen more often actually, but then again, I wasn't allowed access to the room :->]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/18/the-big-red-button-of-doom/rm -rf /]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AM
