My laptop, simple fancy cheap (about $500) locally made Dual Core (1.86 MHz each) with 2 GB RAM, bought on September 8, 2007 and kept on for 3 years!
Using plain old Windows XP (no service packs), still running well, without problem.
:D :D :D

Go sign up to a message board for BSD users and try bragging about your three year uptime there.
1.86 MHz each? Wow. I didn't think Windows XP ran on that kind of processor ;)
Waste of a power bill?

Well if they did, it would take 3 YEARS for XP to boot :D
Sorry for yet another typo, it should be 1.86 GHz... :(Quote:

These days I find my Linux system usually has about 2 weeks of uptime (for near-continuous use) until something stops working for one reason or another. Sometimes X crashes when I upgrade it, or my (closed-source) video driver borks out, or I lock Qt into an infinite loop with a bug in my program. I usually just reboot then, even though I could probably recover by restarting X, because it seems cleaner somehow after I reboot. :)
How about automatic restarting after several hours using at command or something?Quote:

The troublesome are Java applications :( They just randomly crashed, disappeared, without any notification!
So I've come up with simple solution:
:D :D :DCode::repeatme
start /b /wait javaw -jar frostwire.jar
goto repeatme
I seriously doubt that, considering that you bought it in 2007. XP was released in 2001 and usually got infected with Code Red within half an hour after an Internet connection + IIS was activated.Quote:
