I don't missed out on applying for the warranty so if my 360 breaks I'm screwed. I'd like to keep it as long as possible, and I know there have been problems. I see a lot of threads with specific problems (overheating, etc.) but I think it would be good for a single thread with all the tips on how to avoid the red ring of death. What kind of things can shorten/lengthen the life span of a 360?

Every console is currently under warranty for the RRoD. 0_o

Plus there is already a thread like this.

Red ring of death prevention?

Oh my bad shoulda looked first.

On the paper that came with my system it said I had to apply for the warranty within 1 week of purchasing, and I never did. Is there a seperate warranty?

MS extended the warranty for the RRoD to 3 years for all 360s a while ago.

Yep. Tis true! We all know why they did that.
