Shut down a DELL with a text message


Interesting, if you have a DELL Optiplex GX520 and put a cell phone near the CDROM drive as you receive a SMS/TXT (or perhaps a call) - it will shut down the computer - "The bug appears when you put your mobile phone close to the cd-rom unit of the dell and then recieve a sms/txt. What happends is it goes into some sort of suspension mode from which you can't bring it back without breaking power or holding down the power button for four seconds." [via] - Link.
Usually you can hear clicking and noise through some computer speakers when a phone is getting a signal, or right before it rings - so the DELL might just be triggering a fault and shutting down or something. Cool way to do a remote shutdown :)
