I remember doing that once

It wasn't on a server though - just when we were kids at secondary school. Guy sat next to me thought it'd be funny to "hold my work to ransom" by pressing and holding the power button on my PC. I quickly pressed my finger onto the button next to his, and discovered that if you release and press it again *really* quickly, charge in PSU survives the very outage without turning off. :-)
