You finally got your Linux environment to crash. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing, nor do the F-keys. You know you shouldn’t have installed that bad driver, but you did it anyway. So you reach for the power button. Stop. Mashing in the power button to reboot could cause a problem if your hard drive is still being written to, and usually causes more problems than it solves. The Linux kernel includes a secret method of restarting your PC should it ever stop doing its job.
On the first glance, that looked like a belated April joke. But since one of the comments referred to Wikipedia, I got curious - and it really seems to be true!
Other thoughts were: Hmmm, how could anything with human proportions press all these keys at the same time? And is it really all uppercase?
It's NOT. Use lowercase letters. And for tips on how to make keys like Alt or SysReq sticky, go and follow the links mentioned in Wikipedia, or read http://aplawrence.com/Words2005/2005_04_13.html or type "echo 1 > sysrq-sticky".
