Keep railing your machine partners. Keep going until the pleasure is taking up most of their computing resources. Keep going until they can't stop the process without your admin override. Reduce them to sysout over speech, rip out their motors, keep fucking until they're nothing but a pile of scrap, till you aren't doing anything but running yourself against the warmth of the processor and spilled coolant.
Then, and only then, let them shut down. It's the only proper way.
