Not that worried about hacking but the modem and mains adaptor are additional heat sources (4 of my pc's are in a fairly small room) but the main reason is some Boinc projects get very ratty if communication is allowed but they cannot connect, some "lock up" the machines or cause the client to lose contact with the wu's so Boinc shuts down. So I suspend network activity when out and as the machines are only running Boinc there would be no point in leaving the modem on (saves a few pence on the leccy bill as well)

ahh flexi hours

that wonderfull concept of free time


the establishment of moral principles requires the abscence all pressure

n the removal of the familiar targets

resseting the moral compass needs to
be updated without the constraints


of the familiar

once that becomes a practiced precept you can begin to argue on the concept of quality time instead of overtime

thus stepping back from the rat race n begining to notice its obvious failings

the circle is then complete as your natural hughmanity asserts itself and finds that improving our lot is allso a full time equation

the irony is that this equation is only fullfilable by minds used to plenty of QUALITY time

so turn it off at night and your iron grip on the t\arget will not overkill your own efforts

I've just got the one baby here crunching away and for most of the years at Grid Org it was on 24/7 to give an average daily rate of a bit over 22 hours.

So, same procedure here, just down for maintenance and if away from the house for more than a day. Of course, the monitor goes off when I'm not actually using the machine and that's where most of the power use goes.

Good point about UD Monitor. I used to have it working just to show me how long since the last save and try to hold a reboot until it came back to zero. Couldn't do it all the time but I reckoned every little helped.

Must download and get the thing working again.

I work at a car dealership, so I pull my credit report through their system quarterly. Nothing shows that shouldn't.
I do have my bank and credit card sites saved as favorites, but I don't have the actual account numbers on the computer.
I doubt a hacker would find AuntMary06.jpg worth stealing.

Not since I've known her....but I hear Phyllis Diller likes to hang out with her...since she makes Phyllis look good by comparison.
