Well, I'm the one using the computer the most in this family, and it's common that
I sit up and surf or code late when everybody else has went to bed. Well, sooner or
later even I need to get some sleep and turn off the computer.
In the morning my parents find the computer running and complain on my sloppiness.
Whatever, I must have clicked log out instead of shut down...
(In the morning it's very much whatever-ish reactions from me zzzzZZ)
But! Now I have witnessed that the computer sometimes just boots up,
-all by itself! --Gasp!-- :-$
One night I turned off the ADSL modem and the computer was still turned of in the morning.
(one night though so it holds no statistical value... hmmm then, why am I telling you...)
On other computers I've seen the BIOS option "wake up on LAN" and such, but
this only has "Wake up on PME#" enabled, which a google search revealed was about the same thing.
This in combination with the fact that we have an alarm central connected to a guard
company through the phone line might have something to do with it...
...Oh well I guess I'll have to ditch the theory about little green men...
...Or what do you think?
