I'm equally sure that most people display an uptime for their server, since it makes more sense to display that (since servers are rarely switched off).
Can we compromise on it was their PC but it was also their server ... Linux guys (in particular) seem to have a reuse everything philosophy so I can easily envisage a Linux techy running a network for his or her house or whatever and also using it as his/her client PC.

Never seen it (tends to be a proud declaration of their hardware especially if they are some kind of AMD [SPIT!] whackhead) and I defo think that kind of behaviour goes more hand-in-hand with Linux evangelism but yeah, sure, being a Windows person doesn't imply you can't be a dick.
