    How many churches have websites in America

    @ ,

    What is the number of church websites in the United States? Yes it’s quite a herculean effort to count the exact number and I’m not sure there’s research money to pull off such a census. Plus the wide range of differing theological definitions for what is a church exacerbates any attempts to quantify them. First,…

    @ , ,

    The timing of Steve Jobs’ death hit the news cycle last night and will be the topic of conversation for days and weeks to come. While it leaves many of us speechless, and there’s not enough words to convey all that his life has meant to humanity, that doesn’t mean we should stay silent and…

But do the math, and it turns out that 99.9% allows for 43 minutes of downtime per month or over 8 hours in a year, while 99.99% uptime is up to 4 minutes of downtime per month.

    posted on 

    @ ,

    As we watch the big-box Borders close its retail bookstores, it gives us pause (and some, anxiety) about the post-print world. I had to ask, why would Borders have to shut down while Barnes & Noble stays open? View “Why Borders dies while B&N survives” on Storify In a post-print world, there are signs that…
