I tried it out when I had the RC29 and it was kind of weird and somewhat convenient to do it. But I realized to restart my phone I just had to hold the end key and turn on and off anyway. I decided to look into it more to see what other commands would effect the phone.
I found out if you press
Return-s-t-o-p-Return you will freeze your phone. Only way to fix is to open up your phone and remove battery then restart.
So I'm glad after getting the RC30 update this has been removed.
I didn't feel like removing my battery if I accidentally type in another command. Thanks Google.

You really need to post a warning about that picture for those of us that are squeamish about bugs. LOL.

So the Android process is running around as root on the underlying Linux installation? Holy****, that's a rather large oversight on Google's part.

Can someone with a "jailbroken" phone PLEASE do a "ps auxwww" or "ps auxwwwf" and paste the results here?
