Side reason for leaving your computer on all the time:

SETI@home

I mean, this forum has been set up for a 4X space strategy game with more types of aliens than there are ants on this miserable little world. Who doesn't want to help sniff out REAL intelligent extraterrestrial life?

I thought SETI@home was finished now- that they'd processed everything that needed processing.

I turn my computer off because it makes no sense to leave it on overnight. It only takes less than 30 seconds to start it up...

I leave my computer on, because otherwise it doesn't scan for viruses.
