<@ryan> Uptime: (1w 5d 4h 12m 2s)

[LollipopLustKil]

2 days and 8 hours.

[d0rk]

[xzxzzx]

Hmm. *looks for uptime counter in Windows*

*finds it*

71262858 seconds, or 1187714.3 minutes, or about 19795.238 hours or about 824.801 days or about 2.259 years.

That's not right, but that's what it says. God I love Windows for things like that. HD speed? "12000000 RPM!"...

Hehe.

[Fickle]

1 hour 28 minutes. My computer is in my room. I can't sleep with it running.

[LollipopLustKil]

My computer is silent, so I don't even notice it on when I'm sleeping.

[xzxzzx]

My computer sounds like a 747 engine, but I sleep with it in my room.

*note to self: replace CPU fan*

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

Mine's not so bad. I just put little post-it notes over all the LEDs so they aren't lighting my room up at night when I'm trying to sleep.

/me goes off to design a dimmer mode for his computer

[Fickle]

since it's normally on when I come home, It's easy to spot if I was drinking the night before if my family walks into my room after I get up and the computer is on with the monitor off.

[horse-fly]

my compy is bi-polar

[Fickle]

sometimes it's happy and working, and other days it kicks you in the nuts and spits on your writhing body? Oh, wait, that's pms.

Linux Box:

[Mike H.]

About 13 hours. I don't have an uptime counter because I had one before, but it would continue to count when my computer was in hibernation mode.

[glnflwrs]

42:08:16:41

I guess that's 42 days, 8 hours, 16 mins, 41 secs.

I never turn my machine off if I don't have to.

[s0be]

well...
my uptime is...

code:


bash-2.05b$ uptime

 01:52:44 up 11:19,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.06, 0.23

but

code:


bash-2.05b$ uname -a

Linux doorstop 2.6.5 #1 Sun Apr 4 14:30:45 EST 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

bash-2.05b$

should explain it

[fwgx]

code:
[paul@bluebird paul]$ uptime

 09:17:32  up 4 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.91, 0.93, 0.42

[shizawn]

My work system here has been up for 9 hours and 59 minutes.

My computer at home is rarely on for more than a few hours at a time. I usually turn it off when I'm done.

[xzxzzx]

Can I play with the big boys?

code:
bilbo root # uptime

 20:34:43 up 42 days,  3:41,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

[edit]P.S. Yes, my Linux machine is named "Bilbo".[/edit]

[Mr Jones]

Go me..

[mark]

~24hours.

anything longer and it gets unstable or really slow...

[Too-DAMN-Much]

i try to keep it to 12 hours or less, otherwise it's almost useless till the next reboot
..kind of

[lostonline]

About 6 hours as I normally switch it off at night.

My Sun Ultra 5 was once up for nearly a year, but then I didn't have anything to use it for so shut it down (and it hasn't been back on since).

pah! i still win!

although that's impressive on windows. i turn my windows box off when i go to bed though, so i can't really test it for days on end.

[Mr Jones]

It's not bad is it, it's even better when you consider it's only been up for 47 days due to a physical power outage to the building, causing the machine to reboot.

Other than that, I think the previous boot to that was just into the new year, thought I'd give the box a break over the xmas break, and prior to that it was a forced software update that booted the machine towards the end of October.

I like to keep my windows logins to a couple of times a year maximum

You know, by the time you post your uptime, it's no longer your current uptime.

Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal. For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever.

35 seconds... Dammit Windows!!!
17 seconds... Dammit Windows!!!
15 minutes... Dammit Windows!!!

(just kidding... 3 h, 25m, 20s)

[dlinkwit27]

this many!

[beanboy89]

2days, 6hours, 43minutes

[godoncrack]

idk
two, three minutes

[Bilbo Baggins]

LOL xzxxzx.

Mine has been running for 1d, 2hrs and 27mins and counting...

[xzxzzx]

I'm still the best cuz Windows says my PC's been up for over 2 years. That can't be true, but I choose to believe spacetime has been warped around my PC. That would explain why it's been so fast recently...

[BMWboy]

mine's been on since at least 3-22(22-3 for the europeans).

[mark]

europeans are more likely to say 23/3

How much power computer consumes when it's on idle, and monitor is off? I know it depends on your computer but is there any way to measure it? I always shut it down because I don't want to pay huge electricity bills..

[drewbar]

Let's do some bad math. A decent power-supply for a desktop is 300 watt. The processor takes a lot of juice, but so do motors. Spin down the hard drive and the CD/DVD-ROM drivers there is a lot of power you are not using right there. Idle the CPU and it doesn't require as much power either. And unless you are doing heavy stuff you are not sucking all 300 watts from the power supply. So I would think half or less is a reasonable estimation for a PC when idle.

150 watts. A normal light bulb is 60 watts.

Not too bad. A CRT monitor is the biggest power draw of a computer system usually. So, in the long run a sleeping computer probably isn't too expensive.

[Lapikas]

Hmm.. That doesn't sound too bad. I did some searching and found out that it might be even less. Between 50-100 on idle..

This was a bit off topic.. Sorry!!

[zootm]

the introduction of my linux box didn't have any noticable effect on our power bill, if that reassures anyone. it's a really old (P200) dell, though.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

If you're good with exposed electronics (note: I don't recommend doing this unless you're highly skilled), you could always hook a multimeter up to your system while it's running and measure the total power draw.

...back on topic.
