Uptime continues. No one has asked how I feel about that. Anyway: 'bathtub curve' — Common term for the curve (resembling an end-to-end section of one of those claw-footed antique bathtubs) that describes the expected failure rate of electronics with time: initially high, dropping to near 0 for most of the system's lifetime, then rising again as it 'tires out'. See also burn-in period, infant mortality.
