No Linux content but a droll dissection of the 49-day crash

(hang)” — you know, what you call crash — after exactly 49 days,
17 hours, 2 minutes and 47.296 seconds of continuous operation.
The reason you didn’t notice this bug yourself is that you’ve
never kept your PC running that long without crashing for one of a
thousand other reasons.”
