The usual response to this is "anyone who thinks there is some
intrinsic value to uptime is stupid and/or unsecure and/or needs the
sysctl-uptime-setting patch" (or, marc balmer said it better: "why are
people so proud of their uptimes when it only show they
don't care for their systems?")

(by the way, I can't find that patch, anyone know where it is?)
