In that case, they may as well take it a step further and have their employees "open" the website when they clock in when they arrive, and "close" the website when they leave at night.
- jrockway 14y agoGood idea! The system can even have a message that says, "Although we plan to open at 9am, nobody has arrived to turn me on yet."
- sharingancoder 14y agoRegardless of that, it still makes no sense to time-constrict a websites uptime. It's not as if websites run on manual labour! (well, it takes some to create one)
- jrockway 14y agoThe irony is that a site that says "someone needs to come in and turn me on" must already be turned on. They've already written an app that has 100% uptime, they just use their uptime to claim the system is down.
