Ten-year timeline part 4: the end and the beginning

LWN is the only computer related mag (on- and offline) that I bother paying a subscription
for. The reason is that all the rest of them have become product review or preview magazines,
where even most of the articles try to sell me gizmos or software. Oh, they usually have
"developer pages" too - of the learn php/python/gimp/something else in 5 installments,
blatantly ripping off some online tutorial (and usually doing worse). And to top it off, they
have some month old news.

All in all, LWN is the only place writing about what's interesting in a timely fashion,
cutting the crap and the disguised ads. Which makes it well worth my money. :)

BTW Did you actually throw that party? I believe I explicitly tagged my donation as "for
beer". Was it good? ;)
