Nice one!

If it were a Microchip device, one could handle a "magic packet" which 
could cause the device to detach and reenumerate...

Other than that, placing a controlled relay or so on its power line? 
that runs on a timer or another I/O (RS232...?)

Or finding the hardware address of the USB controller and shutting it 
down... with the due privileges? (a bit tough, I know!)
