That's no better than pulling the plug. You should shutdown first then throw the switch.

You need a remote control plug socket, I use it to turn on the kettle when I'm watching TV in the Living room so I don't have to stand around waiting for it to boil
Here is a link to a cheap one

Does anyone remember when pc's had AT power supplies?
when you shut window down, it said "Its now safe to turn off your computer"

Might be handy to put this into the OS for peeps who are afraid of pulling the plug out!
