        Unfortunately, the shutdown procedure takes about 5 billion years. Also, the entire operating system is kept in volatile storage. So, once it loses power, restarting it requires reloading all of the storage from scratch. This would mean an extended outage and may have some impact on users who rely on its services. The potential impact to revenue generating activities is considered too great to allow a reboot at this time. We can reevaluate again next millennium.
