Mmm, uptime

[deadly7]

Last time Windows crashed when I was up for a long time was when I was at school.  It arbitrarily BSOD'ed on me. :)

Did it say why? I know XP automatically dumps memory and reboots. Error Logger in XP should reveal some info (If this was recently)

I'm frequently forced to restart Windows.  It's really not that big of a deal, in my honest opinion.  It takes all of two minutes.

The best was when I plugged in a perfectly innocent USB mouse that I use all the time and Windows BSOD'd on me.  That made me laugh.

Probably something random, those kinds of things are hard to reproduce / fix.

This was before I reformatted.  Happy to say it hasn't happened since.  Even left my computer up for 35~ days and then turned it off to do some stuff with it.

I've had stranger things happen on Linux. :\

Well, the timing was important.  If I was at home by myself, it would just be annoying.  But I was at work with somebody watching over my shoulder.  That's the best time for something random and humorous to happen.

Aha, reminds me of when 98 BSOD'd while gates was showing it off. Great stuff.

By the way, he's still up:

root@gate:~# uptime
19:55:53 up 182 days,  9:15,  1 user,  load average: 0.13, 0.03, 0.01

Oh, what a secure box that must be...

[iago]

Why secure?

All traffic to/from JavaOp.com and x86labs.org flows through the box, so it's pretty good. :)

I think he thinks you're running Windows, and it's DAMN near impossible to get an uptime like that on a Windows box (from my experiences, at least).

[rabbit]

What Window's command line has a prompt of "root@gate:~#", not to mention an "uptime" program?

root@gate:~# uptime [...]

Yes, it was obviously uncertain as to which OS pool he's using. :P

[iago]

Well, maybe between BSD and Linux, or something.
