Default Possible to permanently disable immobilizer?

Can one permanently disable the immobilizer system on a 1999 Accord LX? I know about using the immobilizer brake code to get a temporary fix when one, ahem, misplaces one's keys.

For the fourth time. This time down the storm drain at Wally-World.

You'll have to replace ECU module and just get a normal one.! costs a couple hundred dollars.

Get a "normal one" ay? No such thing exsists. You can remove the Immobilizer from the ECU if your confident in your de-soldering skills.

Please, share. Show me this "normal" ECU. I would have loved to find such a creature when I needed an ECU.
