Oh yes, very true.
What is that supposed to mean, that you can't respond to my post? I still use linux, I just dislike when people try to advocate it as a serious easy alternative for the average joe, because it just isn't at that stage. I like it's flexibility, but for me, it's just not ready to be my desktop OS.
 
i am on a laptop but still i haven shut down or restarted since last chrimas last year which is like 6 monthes

It means: Yeah, your right, you win, I'm sorry.

but this seems a bit pointless,

why would you need to run a computer to run that long,

and a computer can stay on for aslong as it wants to, as long as the tampreture stays idle.

Because some people leave it running instead of turning it on/off? I know I would if my parents weren't so uptight about it.

its a "lost" reference. Darma replacements in the Swan hatch were identified by knowing the answer to that question, it was how desmond thought locke was his replacement and the guy before desmond asked him the same questions (only losties, like SFR et al, wil get what i just said). Plus it is hilarious
