Yes.

Think about binary.

0 means off and 1 is on.

0 is off and 1 is on. The power sign you see on a lot of monitors is just a combination of those two. 0s and 1s, it's how a computer works.

O is for off

I like to think of it like 1 and 0, 1 emits power 0 doesn't

I've always (well since i knew about 0,1) thought of it that way lol

actually, that's a great explanation and probably what OP needed. 

I actually went to see what Wikipedia had to say about that,

and I laughed my ass off when I saw a picture of the Xbox 360 RROD to show the symbol.

And yes, the I and O comes from the binary system.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.
