Or even to other subscribers who are also paying for themselves. :) I would tend to agree that the relative value of the content here beats any other Linux journal/zine/news source I might read -- I read them when they get posted here, because then I know there's something worth looking at. It would be a nice option to have, and still modest at $15/month. It's both donation to the cause and pay for services rendered. Worth considering?

double-plus-ACK. That's another huge value-add of LWN, they read the net for me and post a short summary with the link to the article for me, saving me time.

I don't think that aspect of LWN is "monetised" other than through ads. FWIW, I wouldn't object to LWN showing serveral additional banner ads on the news page to non-subscribers. (no idea if they already do, other than a small set of google ads, given I subscribe ;) ).

Further ACK's from here :-)

I'm actually a starving hacker (ie. a student at university) and as my first year of subscription was running out, I opted for the next "level" of subscription, to show my support, even though money is limited.
I treasure everything I read at LWN, thus makes it more than worth it.
