its a pretty amazing hack though
the human body can scale from 1 cell to several trillion without going down for maintenance even once all while differentiating to different functions
it can take a high level of damage and heal without needing a shutdown as well, most software crashes completely at the first exception
cells give you that highly scalable and fault tolerant system that we all want
> without going down for maintenance even once
doesn't it go down for maintenance approximately once a day?
It's more of a "sleep mode". There are still a lot of wakeups, and cron jobs running clean up of temporary files, cache management and backup routines. Background services still run.
