Yeah, sure. You're going to reproduce something that, as far as you, me or the whole world knows has reportedly happened once, ever. Even though we all know that it's not possible?

I'll be going nowhere. I wanna see this.

RE: VERY strange...webcam on with pc off
There could be 3 explanations!
1. She is used to working with a mac, which when you click the on off button on the monitor, it turns the computer off, and then when she switched to PC, she thought it was the same. Thus turning her monitor off and not her computer like she thought she did (unlikely, but a possibility)

2. You found a glitch in the Matrix

3. Jesus didnt want the conversation to end, by unplugging the computer you made jesus sad. Now look what youve done.

are you sure she didn't just turn off the screen that was my first thought too.
I do like this idea though

RE: VERY strange...webcam on with pc off
It is physically impossible for the webcam, connected via the computer to the network, to keep on functioning when the PC is turned off.

When the PC is turned off there is no power to its internal hardware and thus there is no software running. There needs to be power in order for a PC to function.
A normal webcam needs to have at least a driver running on a running operating system, this also includes RAM. When the PC is off there is no OS running, there is no RAM, there is no driver. None of these means no picture...

Note that turning a PC off might take a while (especially if updates are being installed), in which during that time a webcam picture may continue to broadcast for a very short while.

So if it happened it very obviously means the PC was _NOT_ (yet) off at that time.

Again, it is physically (as in 'laws of nature') impossible for a webcam to function when the PC is turned off.
