you need to push all the floor buttons

There are some elevators that detect that and clear all the buttons if it happens. I think they implemented it in Japan.

Hm I came across an article on crosswalk hacks. Apparently the FBI shut that site down when they posted crosswalk codes to walk anytime, etc. :Q

rightfully so, b/c it was causing traffic accidents when people would use that hack.

Not rightfully so.. Rather, that's a blatant violation of First Amendment rights. Instead of going after the site posting the hacks, the FBI should go after the companies involved and force them to create a crosswalk that requires a key or something.

Dude this has caused thousands of dollars in damages not to mention put people in harms way as a result of punk kids using it, last time I checked the 1st amendment does not cover that. Anyways, it's not like there won't be a thousand other places that you could learn about it, places were not any idiot who is surfing the web will come across it, ahm..usenet...ahm.

The scope of the damages does not allow for infringement of Constitutional rights. Sure, the government could enforce the law much better if they allowed police to enter any home without a warrant - but the Constiution prevents that.

Essentially, you're stating that it's okay for the FBI to prevent people from learning how the crosswalk works because they can cause damages with it. People cause damages with guns all the time - should the FBI prevent people from learning how to use guns?

I'm saying the crosswalk has a fundamental problem... and instead of the FBI stepping in and trying to prevent education of the problem, the manufacturer of the crosswalk is liable and should be forced to fix it. Duh..

Your first amendment rights have limits. Especially, if your speech will cause harm to others. Read up on supreme court cases about freedom of expression.

Edit: in this case it was clear that the expression was causing harm to other citizens whether intentional or unintentional
 
I prefer the ones, where if you have a key card - it automatically clears all the floors and takes you straight to where you want to go. 🙂 If you use the card when calling the car, it's even better. It will stop at the next floor, tell everyone to get out, and then come immediately for you.

Try avoiding it when your on the 13th floor of a powerhouse and you're late for lunch.
It's selfish and called for.

Unlike you, I am not impatient, rude, and greedy. I'll respect other people who wish to use the elevator.
 
If you're alone on the elevator, screwit, I'd do it. Besides, how do you know you're skipping someone if you're on the way up/down?

You don't. However, that doesn't give you the right to be impatient and rude to others, does it?
