Feb 18 13:52 |

The issue with no one requesting. |
Feb 18 13:52 |

is that projects like autopackage and 0install get left to suffer without large numbers of developers. |

Feb 18 16:14 |

On the day The BoxeeBox Cookbook was published — despite promises of “unlimited site bandwidth” by HostMonster, our webhosting service provider — visitors were greeted with this lovely page..” |

“In other words the company “reserves the right to limit” the bandwidth of a website to whatever it decides is appropriate, based on current loading conditions, and can periodically disable the site — without warning — to enforce those limits. So much for “unlimited.”” |
