I agree with all of the above. Furthermore, many servers require as much uptime as possible, making reboots on patch tuesdays less than practical.

Good troll.
I for one am unsure why in the first place the original article was written. So the guy played a character with a vaguely-but-not-quite similar technology some 20-odd years ago, so now his opinion counts? What's next, Arnold Schwarzenegger on Roombas because he used to play the Terminator?

Which country are you from, AC? I know many many baby boomers who were able to retire early, because they could speculate on the value of their houses. Nowadays, younger generations are barely able to earn enough money to pay for their houses.
