Parking Meter Repairman Steals $170K In Coins 7
61-year-old William J. Fell (not from Sunnyvale Trailer Park), is accused of stealing more than $170,000 from parking meters in the City of Alexandria, Virginia. Police say William, who worked as a meter repairman, took a few coins every time he fixed a meter for over a year. Police spokesman Jody Donaldson told the Washington Post the city suspected something was up because revenue from the meters was falling short. "He'd take a little bit each time," Donaldson told the Post.

Sounds useless, but to answer the question - using the power switch could cause file system corruption.
All the better. If the kid would have listened in the first place their console wouldn't be a brick.
After months and months of good behavior and begging, maybe they get a new console. You can bet the next time you tell them to turn it off, if they have half a brain, they'll listen

Yeah, I was going to say, did anyone else feel bad for it when that guy kicked it? My initial reaction was 'Well that wasn't very nice.'
Submission + - Open Linux Router Project Announced
An anonymous reader writes: Phoronix has delivered word on the project announcement of the Open Linux Router. The Open Linux Router project hopes to start off where The Linux Router Project had left off. The Open Linux Router is looking to combine the functionality of several network services all into a single box (similar to m0n0wall or Smoothwall), but will feature expanded possibilities with its "true modular" design so that the end-user can quickly and easily customize the software. The first release of this Linux distribution will not be out until May or June, but some of the code is presently available via SVN. More information is also available through their new project website.
