@Voxnulla What reboots have to do with the OS is simple. A modern OS is perfectly capable of running for months on end. In the good old days of dos and windows, well still with windows this wasn't/isn't the case. I want my systems to be immediately responsive, so no shut-down. Also shutting down shortens, on average, your life expectancy and heightens the chance for sudden component failure. It is not that hard, even without wikipedia to figure out.

@eitrig I knew that without the help of our mutual external memory. But even if I didn't, It's called "researching" and you should do that sometimes. It really beats "shouting something until you believe you are right".
I do not like rebooting because it is unnecessary. The only reboots I do are, for example, when I compiled a new kernel for one of my Linux boxes. Turing off computers is only for adding or changing internal hardware.

Congratulations you can into wikipedia. Now please tell me what this has to do with the fact you don't like rebooting?

@eitrig Any posix compliant can be categorised under *nix or Unix type. You might want to pay attention to the word "type" I attributed with which I put a bit of nuance in.
Also the Kernel in OSX is called XNU and the posix compliant environment is called Darwin. So Darwin is to GNU what XNU is to Linux.
What it has to do with anything is the fact that these robust OS's do not require frequent reboots, so just let them hibernate. In the end it's even better for the hardware.
-
What? OS X is unix "based" not unix it actually uses its own proprietary kernel named darwin. but what the hell does that have to do with anything?
-
@eitrig People with an IQ over 50 actually know that Unix type OS's can run perfectly for months without shutting them down.

Sorry but you stopped the clockwatch too early on OS X. Finder was not loaded, you should stop it after desktop icons (by Finder), the dock and the menubar are all the three loaded.
