What's the problem? The BeBook says that, if the computer is off, is_computer_on() returns an undefined value: so, it is perfectly acceptable to return 1 :-)

Without stating the obvious, we are all remembering that "IsComputerOn()" was meant to be a joke, right? I'm getting an uneasy feeling that people might be getting a little too serious :-) "IsComputerOnFire()" could be worth implementing though (as this might actually be feasible now), and might I put forward a new function called "SetPhasersOnStun()" maybe?
