Never even heard of a device like that from bellsouth. I can't even find a google reference to something like that.\n\nYou could just unplug the computer and hide the power cable. Or just tell him to stay off of it. If he won't do what you say then unplug the computer and wack him with the power cable across his head.\n\nOccam's Razor will win out on this one.

a 400 to 500 watt power supply would solve the problem

you should try hibernating it. this will save power and will save you time when you start your computer up. right click the taskbar, click task manager, click shut down on the top, and click hibernate.

Go to CONTROL PANEL and then click POWER OPTIONS and choose how long you want your computer to be on when you're not using it.

It should not be that much to run your computer. The main power users in a home are: 1. Refrigerator \n                                              2.Washer and dryer\n                                              3. Electric heaters \n                                              4. Electric ranges\n                                              5. Freezers\n                                              6. Air conditioners\n                                              7. Dish washers\nAnything with a heating or cooling element will be a big factor in you electric bill. Things like lights and computers do not use much energy so if you leave it on overnight, do not fret about it for that reason alone.

make a solar cell that will light up a lightbulb. Figure out how by doing an internet search

Yes because sometimes lighting can get through the electric lines and damage your PC if the building does not have proper "earthing".  Safer still, after turning off the computer, remove the plug from the socket too. Replug only after the storm has gone

just a crt and some mostly random web content i think. It works for me. 20 minutes or so, a crt and a pc, maybe half a kilowatt hour.

go to control panel, power setup and you can choose what response you want whenever you hit the button.

You can use oil to do it.  Some people have started making computers at home that are submerged in oils of all sorts, since it doesn't conduct electricity.

I am an electronics student and this has camu in class one time. It is usually safe to turn it iff every night if you want, and it will take longer for the fan and power supply to burn out. But whenever you turn the computer on there is a higher than normal surge of electricity that run through your motherboard and every circuit, this surge isnt big and it only happens for a split second but excessively turning on your computer can damage some of the circuits but this usually doesnt happen.\n\n  I myself usually just leave it on and restart about once a week, and at times I have turned it off every night. I have had my computer for 5yr's and I havent had to replace anything so its really up to you, its not anything I would worry about too much though.
