Dont you hate it when that happens?

no cuz i'm not stupid to leave it on.

I leave my computer on all the time anyway. I just cut off the monitor. It costs more to just leave that on then just your computer.

-shrugs- I thought most people left their computer on over night.

Nah, I always put my computer to sleep overnight. Save the environment, man.

I just close my laptop.

It ever happens to me. My computer monitor is effed though, so if I leave it on for over 30 minutes when I idle, it shuts off.

I do the same thing. I just click off the monitor. Thats fine with me.. All you have to do is come up to your computer and CLICK! It's on. SHOCKING!

i use the computer ALOt so i almost always NEVER turn it off XD

my comp is on almost everyday . i swear .

i never leave it on, cuz its a family computer and all.

Moved to Technology

Mine is the family computer also.. I keep it on.
Its a sence os sucurity really..
Knowing that you don't have to wait for it to load.. or what not.

I never turn mine off, I have it set to go to sleep and turn the monitor off

I turn mine`s off at night.. cause if my computer is on, I cant go to sleep.

Just turn the screen off or is your computer one of thoughs computers that make noises that it dosen't need to be making?

Wtf, this was a spam topic, Lol. I was hoping Archie would come and close it then warn me again.

^ Guess you're out of luck.

I'm always leaving my computer on. I hate it when the electric bill arrives.

Yeah..I do the same thing too

my computers near my bed so i can hear if its on. ;/ its sorta loud.

mines on 24/7 lol maybe because I download stuff while I sleep and seed for other people gyea.

i never turn mine off

I just put my computer on standby. The for some reason the light on the tower blinks and it hurts when I sleep!!

i turn my laptop off.
several times i have left it on all night.
i hate doing that b/c it wastes battery power.
so yeah, i hate
it when that happens.

i leave it on too

but my parents turn it off

I never turn off my computer, unless I'm forced to.

Yeah. Sometimes I think it shut down but really it's still on.

i do too. and i hate it when people cut it off because it takes forever to start up again. i just turn off the monitor like you said.

i work my pc's like im from the Saddam regime ...no rest, no sleep, ok the monitor can take a breather every now and then but unless the power goes out they r on...hmmm may need to get in touch with APC about some power backup options

Ok people. This is something that really gets on my nerves. TURN YOUR COMPUTERS OFF. Even if it's a desktop. Are you people too lazy or stupid to turn off your computers? Can you not wait 1 minute for it to load from the manufactorers sign, all the way to the start up tune? Do you think it's cool to have, "Logged on for 10 Days" on Aim? No, it's not. It's stupid and idiotic. Even worse for laptops, laptops weren't ment to be on all the time. They get extra hot. It's bad for your laptop, it's life expectancy will drop by half. Your laptop will start crashing and slowing down, and eventually, not working at all for you.

No because I always leave my computer on, and I restart it daily.

OMG IF YOU LEAVE YOUR LAPTOP ON FOR A LONG LONG TIME IT OVERHEATS AND LAPTOP GO BOOM.

Especially if it's a PowerBook G4 or iBook G4. And some Dell laptops.

I always, always turn off my computer. Either that or put it to sleep 'cause using electricity is bad for the environment and it makes Global Warming worse.

ya i just keep it on for weeks; until some windows update makes me restart

Can't leave it on when i sleep cuz my computer will start to lag. And my computer turns it self off if its not doing anything. Its either my sis turns it off or i do. But we only turn it off if were going to sleep. Other then that we just leave the screen off cuz were always using the computer.

LMAO. that was funny. xD

well, i have two primary computers; laptop&desktop.
i use the desktop more, so it consumes more energy.
and my parents get mad at me for keeping the desktop on.
and if i use my laptop, i keep the modem on, too.
&so sometimes i keep my laptop on.
but then when i wake up in the morning, i either:
A) see that the modem is off because my dad checks before he leaves for work, or
B) the laptop lags, so i have to restart it.
>_< lmao.

do you know how many viruses you get can from the internet if you have cable or dsl? i always turn mine off when i dont use it
