That's like saying: "You know you're a midget when you're under 130cm". I AM THE ALMIGHTY SYSADMIN! ALL PRAISE MEEE! MEEEE! MUAHAHAHAHAH! edit: MUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

NO! Bed checks MUST be performed! If you are not chained to your rower at the same time as everyone else, how can the ship go in a straight line? (Get the feeling I worked for too many asinine companies/managers?)

Sounds like my local ISP: Its network status page always shows everything is working acceptably as it is not updated when there is a fault because no-one would be able to access the page until the fault is fixed. I also know of a large Data Centre which has an Up Time running into several years (probably decades now) as it excludes scheduled downtimes and unscheduled downtimes from its stats.
