Glad to see you caught on. Chad, please google up the definition of "passive-agressive" behavior and look at yourself in a mirror. If you don't get it, reread the definition and look in the mirror again. And in the future, please don't engage in it. You don't want to become known for this. As for the rest of you, this is a classic Bikeshed discussion. I'm amazed that so many people fell for it. I guess the collapse of the US financial system has put a crimp on your spending on new computers and your all bored of your old hardware. Chad's post was worth a read. It wasn't worth a response, espically escalated to the rediculousness that some have been. Did anyone bother to think that any admin with 2 years uptime on a system probably has some decent coin into the environment (think, UPS power here) and more like as not knows what they are doing? Chances that your going to get 2 years of uptime on a system plugged into a consumer-grade UPS in a private residence are lower than the chances that Jamie Lynn Spears is going to be offered the job of spokesperson for the National Abstinence Education Association. It has nothing to do with how the server is configured and everything to do with the environment the server is in.
