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

True. For example, from a Norwegian perspective:

$10 in 2002 was 67kr - which was aproximately the net pay from 45 minutes of working a
beginner-level programming-job.

Today $10 is 55kr, which is aproximately the net pay from 20 minutes of working a
beginner-level programming-job.

The price of Lwn measured against what matters, salaries, is more than -halved- in these 5
years.

Even if we ignored the increased living-standard and counted only the dollar-fall and
inflation, it's still a price-fall from 70nok to 55nok in 6 years, a significant decrease.

Besides, LWN has "starving hacker" modes for those who have problems paying the "normal"
price, and that is dirt-cheap, the price of a hotdog in Norwegian terms, literally (actually
in many locations the hotdog may cost more)
