Keep IRC running while in standby?

[Simon]

Is it possible to keep IRC running while my computer is in standby?

No. Standby mode (ACPI S3) means that basically only your RAM is receiving power to keep it's contents there. No other component should be receiving power besides the RAM.

The best thing to do with that kind of thing is to keep an extra computer around, install Linux and run mIRC(Or whatever it is called for Linux). In this sense, Linux tops Windows.

That's what I used to do.
