A few days ago Ragha sent me a message and telling me that Ampli5.org had run out of bandwidth and asked me to fix it. This was odd since I had set the maximum bandwidth for that account to 10 GB and it wasn’t likely that all of the people with blogs on the account [...]

Vijayalayan however got a reply after emailing the same address [...]

You know, the reason we don’t have the Government messing around with the Internet in India is because they’re all old people who don’t really understand how the Internet works and don’t have the time or patience to learn it. And they don’t employ young people since youngsters in India are magically less knowledgeable than [...]
