I am somehow reminded of the star trek original series that featured the new M5 computer that was replacing all the old ways of doing things (no need to send people out to do that exploring).
After several attempts to shut down the automated processes (which kept restarting), Kirk ordered some red-shirt to pull the main power plug.
As the engineer got in place to undo the foot-wide plug the M5 decided that a direct energy connection would be more efficient and formed a plasma-arc directly to the power source -- circumventing the need for a plug(and vaporizing the engineer who was pulling the plug).
McCoy commented, ironically, that that one of the great new features of the M5 computer was that it had no 'off switch'.
I thought most people learned that 'no off switch' was not a good feature... back... 40+ years ago?
Beware: those who do not watch ST:TOS, are doomed to repeat it!
that episode was actually ringing in my ears. Imagine the Enterprise run in an Amazon Cloud of opensuse 13.2 with systemd talking all the other systemd's out in the cloud!
this is a better example though
