Surrey County Cricket Club

Best computer Geek Story came from the UK and it apparently involved some rascals from Surrey, including this club I got to visit while visiting my sister and her family when they lived in Surrey («With the Fringe on Top!) for almost a decade.
Legend has it that a bunch of cricket enthusiasts working at a local high speed computing facility that also helps program local power facilities were playing cricket inside the facility since the computers were all housed in steel cages, and it was hard to shut down anything that could do any real damage… or so they thought…
Rascals…
Except that there is this one major red shutdown button behind what looks like more of an ice-​hockey mask then a truly secure shield.
Apparently flying high-​speed cricket balls can get wedged somehow and knock out the big red shutdown button.
Local towns could and did have complete electric blackouts.
Oops.
