| 652948 | 2008-04-02 02:42:00 | I generally turn mine off. I used to let my 2k box run 24/7, but with the power the beasties chew through these days, well every little bit helps (no, I don't like hibernation). |

The earth is dying check the scientific research about Brazilian forests getting chopped which will screw up the weather and speed pollution. That is just one of the disasters that humans have created. | JUST INSANE (6682) | ||

After a while it would just give up . nah . . . . . . . . win98 had a time limit of 48 days or thereabouts then it'd crap out . . . . . . . . . . . xp ? . . . . i've seen systems running it 24/7 for months/years on end . . . . . . . |

| 652952 | 2008-04-03 12:27:00 | I never use to but I do these days, cause I'm staying at my olds, when I shift into my new place it will be on 24/7 Could you enlighten me as to what you actually do? You did not before but you do now because your "OLDS" pay the bills. The "OLDS" are the caregivers or parents or whatever? When you shift then you will have enough cash to pay the bills so you will do the 24/7. Is that the case? Did anyone teach you how to budget and have you a student loan? |

Several months ago though being curious to power use, we started switching off at the wall the computers and monitors and routers or if needed later in the night, turning off what was not going to be used. Our power bill remains fairly average month to month, since turning off though, we have noticed a drop in power used on the power bill. |
