SAVE A SOUL ...uptime

[Jason]

I don't know if I would want an uptime that long...  

That is awesome though...  I have a server at work that is going on 350 days 
and went down because the data center lost power and the generators didn't 
kick in...bummer!!  It was at about 150 days at that point.

685 days means you are on a really old kernel....  No?

I'd sacrifice the uptime for an up to date kernel
