Well I'm not sure if the "(via internet)" is meant to be significant. If you have a modern machine on ethernet, you can turn it on with a wake-up packet, but I don't know the details of how one generates this packet. So, in theory, I could dial in to this illustrious institution and wake up my desktop machine (were I ever to turn it off).
