In WinXP:
Save all your work.
Open a command shell and type "shutdown -s" without the quotes.
In Linux/OS X:
Same as above, except just type "shutdown".
You have thirty seconds to figure out how to stop the countdown. (Hint: Ctrl-Alt-Del will not save you.) Good luck. :]
CS majors need not apply--the answer will come too easily for you.
And no, you can't ssh into one of the Windows PCs in Mudd or the CS lab and do this--you would need root access. (Otherwise, there would be nothing to stop you from running a script that does this on every computer in Mudd the week before finals. This is for your own good--you'd be lucky to have your eyeballs after the resulting lynch mob was done with you.)
