> Remember that scene in every Star Trek movie where the captain shouts "Computer! Initiate self-destruct sequence. Confirmation code Heliotrope Banana Daguerreotype." Let's extend that so that clients can request that a (virtual?) machine shuts down.

Isn't the code the vocal fingerprint of Captain Kirk? That also explains the delay between the Kirk giving the code and it displaying on the screen.
