Once you get into the counting of years (rather than days), it's all
down to hardware. How long before that hardware needs an upgrade? Does
your incoming power have fail-overs? I don't currently have any
servers with multiple power supplies, so if anything like that goes
bung, my server's down. Doesn't matter how quickly I can bring up an
equivalent on a different hunk of hardware, the uptime's gone.

But yeah. 300 years? Good luck. I don't think anyone's ever going to hit that.
