"The bigger issue is that users who do not want to share the data have been told to "fork" off." Actually, no. I first suggested he use the plugin if he was concerned about the data. I suggested he do one of the three things if he didn't trust WordPress … (see comment)

WordPress 2.0.6 Released

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/06/2007

It all depends on the quality of the hosting, mostly the database. Sometimes WordPress.com will get 2-3 front page diggs a day, it doesn't even make a blip. (see comment)

Howdy diggers. You can absolutely get an alright dual xeon for $250 a month from someplace like theplanet or EV1. Those are nice boxes---we're going to have over a hundred in a month or so. At the end of the day, though, it's still a single point of failu … (see comment)
