How long do you leave your computer on for?
During the day, I'll often leave my machine up and running so that I can just come back to it much easier later on. During this time I'll probably be running a defrag or doing something else worthwhile, like downloading a large file.
Some people don't like leaving their shit running all day and night though.
You?

Have you ever given any thought to immigrating to the west? You seem like a really bright cookie who could go far in an area with a decent economy.
I really need to reapply the thermal paste etc. but I really cannot be arsed mainly as it's a HP and it's the biggest ballache in the world taking it to bits my old dell was brilliant (and still runs) you just undid about 12 screws and you could get at the whole thing.
Any outstanding tasks (backing up, video conversion) I will leave it on for but set it to shutdown once they're finished, if I'm leaving/sleeping.
On a rare occasion I leave it switched on in case I need to log in from somewhere else. But I never really need to do this; I carry important files on my memory stick/phone.
Gotta' pay demz bills, yo.
