Password Protected Shutdown?

I agree, although I don't mind having to press MENU + POWER for a hard reset, as long as it's not instant (for seconds delay at least).

It's instant. It's a logic circuit connected to the OMAP reset pin. It's no different than a little reset button that you have to reach with the end of a pin to press, but this way is much easier and more convenient while testing code that has a habit of crashing the system.

This is a really good idea, actually. Just think about it for a second. If you need to input a password for the system to shut down, then what's going to happen when the battery gets low? It'll just keep asking for the password, but unless you enter it, it won't turn off! Infinite battery life! :lol:
