- P2P is just a technology and P2P networks shouldn't be shut down
- The RIAA sucks
- I will say I will pay for music when the price is fair and I can do whatever I want with it
- What about OGG vorbis?
- My underpants smell as they have not been changed in 2 weeks

Thats not much up time, maybe you should consider GNU/Underpants or BSD/Boxers for stability and longevity.

I don't think uptime is the problem. He was complaining about the load average.
Why isn't there a "Cringely" icon for slashdot? It seems that every time he publishes something, it ends up here!
I've been bothering with this for quite some time, and came up with the following 6 reasons to explain this phenomenon:
1) He got a cool name.
2) He writes in tone matches his name - paranoiac, suspicious, and - cringely
3) His look matches his name - that cringely look - the look that can be find in Stephen King
4)/. editors like Stephen King
5)/. editors love any reference to the words 'Startrek', 'cringely' and 'Stephen King'.
6) There's no 6th reason. Move along.
(I'm aware that there's no such word 'cringely', but you got the idea....or not?)
