iStorm^ Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 I've submitted a new Poll thread.. This time I'm asking.. "What is your longest Computer Uptime?" :) :D :cool: :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronXP Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Highest I ever got was 2 weeks, I get that urge to install the up-to-date software and OS updates, so I have to reboot :( Two weeks is a long time to wait before i get my software installed. On average I do a reboot every single weekend for software installations. Lovin' Win2k :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deryck Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 My longest is of 6 Days. Have to reboot every week on a Saturday night/Sunday morning, which is some time now, so that the CPU can cool down and I usually do maintanance work to it on the next day to it.

Naughty boy, your OS must have been a huge security risk without any hotfixes or security rollup packages installed. and no firewall updates either? Long uptimes are bad, the longer it is, the worse it poses a security risk, don't just get long uptimes to show off your computer's reliability.

altezza Veteran Posted May 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2002 I was using Win2k when my computer can stay for little over 3 weeks and had to restart the computer because of Windows update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa-b Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 please security updates. after SP1/2 there were no major changes, and firewall, its called hardware firewall. i had ftp and web services up and i had no breaches or anything, no virus, no trojans, etc. perhaps im just lucky. but i really dont care if someone breaks into my computer and looks @ my essay's or photoshop files!!!! my computer is as secure as i need it to be.

mr_daemon Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 3 months, 2 weeks, 5 days and 20 hours :) Seriously. Then VI (text editor) crashed and left a zombie process that i couldn't kill, so I said fux it and restarted the box. Linux servers are big fun.

Long uptimes are bad, the longer it is, the worse it poses a security risk, don't just get long uptimes to show off your computer's reliability. this is why linux rocks for servers. downtime on linux is for hardware replacement.
