That sucks because it will wrap at 49.7 days IIRC. Fix.

Is there actually a way to get proper uptime on Windows?

[zorm]

Yes, using QueryPerformanceFrequency and QueryPerformanceCounter.

The biggest uptime I ever recall seeing on my computers was 84 days+.  I usually notice uptime when I'm checking my network connections for functionality (the window displays connection uptime which is at longest the computer's uptime.

Ironically, there was a power outage last night.

Pwned Did you save your essay :O?

Hehe, that's how I check on Windows too.

Psh... who said anything about Windows?














OK, ok, I can't imagine going 84 days on Linux. 

[Quik]

Turned off my Linux server the other day for a day, before that it had 5 or 6 weeks going.

[Sidoh]

Haha, I noticed deepthought is running quite a bit faster after the restart, even if it was accidental/unwanted.

I don't think any other OS would require such a kludge. 

It's the same idea as finding a host's ip by pinging them.. stuff like that bugs me

[MyndFyre]

I don't think any other OS would require such a kludge. 

Note that I didn't say I would *check* it that way, I said I'd *notice* it.
