who in their right mind would even try to give one person that much control!?!?!? is it just me or does that sound like a really bad idea. I just heard this from a friend but even the idea of it just baffles me!

I am pretty sure this is not true.

It is only in case of emergency, and yes, it does need an off switch, must to our dislike.

If someone is trying to hack into major computers of utmost importance to cause global repercussions.

What, we'd rather have a world war started by a nutjob than have our precious internet turned off for protection?

By what I heard it will not effect most personal computers anyways.

Rumor has started the greatest downfalls. Make sure we have all the information before we fan the flames of anger!!!

Well, hell, the internet has been one of the greatest sources of silly gossip, too.  The evil beast.
