008 [Voice]: Emergency Broadcast?

Oct 22, 2008 13:56

So it's a bit late to be asking this, maybe, but I was mucking about with this thing, and started wondering if it's got some sort of built-in emergency broadcast system. Something to make sure everyone hears a notice, like. It'd be a useful sort of thing to have, in case anything more happens.

You could have someone program one in--but you'd have to think of a creative way to get it into every single system so it would broadcast over the entire network when it went off. A simple virus-like program would do the trick.

I'm not quite an expert with this sort of thing. I mean, computers don't exactly burst into flames when I touch them, but something like that's a bit out of my range.

Well, that's usually when you find someone to do it for you...

That'd be why I was asking if there was one, before I went and saw about getting one set up. Be a bit foolish to waste anyone's time with that if someone'd already seen to it. I know there isn't any sort of backup, but that doesn't mean much.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're one of the people who could do it.
