my pc is running 24/7 from the time i have adsl at home (juli 2006) some restarts and some electricity cut-outs was the only reason rebooting.

the monitor (tft) goes off after 15′ non using

dont think that the pc + adsl router costs so much electricity

+ speakers go off at night
- my laser mouse is always on (wasting re-chargeable batteries)

But if you turn your computer off when you’re not using it, when are you supposed to download torrents?

Kin, no one knows for sure when the world’s oil will run out, but the latest estimates put it somewhere around the end of this century. So relax guy, take a chill pill…

in 50 years we use the piled up sexual energy of all nerdy virgins here and transform it to electricity. Should be enough for all plus moon and mars. God save the internet and all it‘s inmates.

My PC generally gets rebooted every four to six months or so other than that it’s on constantly unless there is a power cut or something.

Welcome to the wasteful society. A society that is the most unappreciative generation ever. I try to turn off the PC every time I’m going to take a long absence from it (about 1 or so) to save energy. If you want to waste energy, fine, you and I ultimately pay for it in the end. In 50-100 years when our coal and oil reserves are gone you aren’t going to be able to keep the PC on 24 hours a day.
