That means that someone isn't patching...
I never get past a month.
When I'm not using my PC, I'll put it in standby. So, technically, it's not shutdown, but it's not "on" either. Would that be considered "uptime"?
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
Can anyone explain why you would want your machine "up" for that length of time?
I do for one box because that is my file/print server and remote access machine. I also seed torrents from that box.
Do you pay the electricity bills?
Yes, unfortunately.
Do you have the faintest idea of health and safety?
It's no longer safe to keep you're PC on? News to me...
Do you care about your environment and the legacy you are creating?
Don't understand how much damage you can do...
Or is it just the usual pathetic grade school "bragging rights"?
I wasn't bragging... but I do have a want (not need) for as much uptime as possible. The only time I'll turn that box off is if I'm going camping or going to be away in an area where I know I won't need remote access. That only happens maybe half a dozen times a year. I have to be away for at least a weekend. If I'm only gone one day... I'll leave it on.
I await intelligent responses with interest
Never said they were intelligent. But they ARE responses.

usually my xp can stand up 1 month average ~ it not goes down due to XP failure (usually) - instead it goes due to power failures.
About nihil questions:

p2p (bt & e-mule) 24x7 seeding and sharing here.
Do you pay the electricity bills?
yes. But its very cheap here
Do you have the faintest idea of health and safety?
Those computers are in a room. Usually dark (and unattended). They have all kind of protection, including gas...something lightning protection. No fire danger here.
Do you care about your environment and the legacy you are creating?
Bah, we dont use fossile fuels or related to generate eletricity here. 90% of power are generated by water falls... So, i'm cool about that
