Through PMs MrX has expressed concern over my avatar.
For brevity i'll just quote the guy:
Quote from: "MrX"
your avtar is very annoying. please change it


My question is.
Does my avatar bother you?

Of course I am not going to change it because of what MrX says, but if we have a trend here I may just have to consider something :)
Thanks for your time.

I think think this sounds rich comming from MrX, the person who had a fat bloated and annoying sig so Refalm removed it and  he replaced with a far worse one. :rolleyes:

Oh well I suppose his current sig is alright though.

Doesn't bother me.

I would use my little Kurt Cobain avatar, but it's too big for the site, :mad:

Mr X

It wouldn't be so annoying if the uptime numbers weren't so pathetic. :D:p

Heck...my Windows servers (http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/stats.php?op=all&user=toadlife) own his linux boxen.  :nothappy:

Sorry, I was just ribbing you. ;) Home systems don't need uber uptime. Heck, just look at my DSL router's uptime...My son kept pushing the power button on it until I managed to secure it in a location that he couldn't get to.

Best uptime I ever had was on a freebsd box. Which was about 111 days before the power went out. I have an OpenBSD box that I never reboot at the moment. However my power seems to enjoy going out. It was last rebooted upgrading from 3.6 to 3.7.

-bash-3.00$ uptime
10:03PM  up 4 days, 12:52, 1 user, load averages: 0.17, 0.12, 0.09

AND THATS THE MOST STABLE MACHINE I HAVE.

Well theres my firewall...
x11@minamoto ~$ uptime
 12:14:21 up 34 days,  2:46,  1 user,  load average: 1.05, 1.01, 1.00

I've gotten 65 days on Windows 2000, but only 23 on Linux...why?  Because my UPS broke and I didn't buy another for a while and 2) I fucked it up a bunch of times playing with fire.  And by fire, I mean old binary modules! \o/ :D

Currently:

bash-2.05b$ uptime
 12:20:37 up 4 days, 11:59,  5 users,  load average: 0.09, 0.12, 0.09

Ok, it appears we have a consensus.
Well. Before you all started dick-waving.

But dick waving is fun!

BTW: My best uptime for a Windows box was 108days - for one of my IIS5 servers at work. I think i got 115 days for an old NT4 print server a few years ago, but I'm not sure.
