So doing some review queue stuff a few minutes ago and I [came across this item][1]. The original question is about remotely shutting down a PC that has no apparent RDP connectivity. The answer I wanted to delete was basically recommending building a [Rube Goldberg contraption][2]:

> Find an old computer with a CD-ROM drive. Install linux. Name it
> HOMECOMPUTERSHUTDOWNROBOT. Find a plastic stick, about 2 inches long.
> Superglue it to the CD-ROM door so that it sticks straight out from
> the computer. Position the old computer so that the stick points at
> the power button for the computer you want to shut down. Use old books
> as necessary to prop the computer up to the needed height to do so.
> 
> When you want to turn off the computer, SSH into
> HOMECOMPUTERSHUTDOWNROBOT. In the terminal, use the `eject` command to
> eject the CD drive. The plastic stick will push the power button of
> the computer not supporting RDP and turn it off.

Okay this is a cute idea that shows a creative use of an ejectable optical drive mechanism. But come on? I failed an audit for saying this idea should be deleted?

The question has [a very good accepted answer][3] as well as [a much higher ranked alternative answer][4]. This joke answer was posted hours after those other answers and really adds not much.
