"LWN: Are you aware that this revelation has really made it hard to get through to you?"

Trust us, we noticed. Our bandwidth is there, but our poor server is sweating under the load. I think there's people at Rackspace standing by with fire extinguishers.

That's why we should have released the article under subscription - it would have kept the load down.

Seriously, though, it's clear that a stronger server has got to be in our future plans at some point.

It's ok. If your server is sweating, it means lots of people is reading this.

Lots of people reading this can only be good. Let it sweat. Keep the extinguishers handy.

Let this be a notice to all of us who aren't currently subscribed. LWN is not just looking to make a few bucks. They published this openly because it's very important that the community they server know this now! If you like LWN, think about giving up two cups of Starbucks per month and support these guys. I just did.

And why doesn't somebody like OSDL just buy y'all? Wouldn't it be great if a n industry wide consortium of companies interested in Linux gave back to the community that way?

You can change the color scheme any time you like; just go into the customization section of the "my account" screen.

Awaiting your subscription...:)

Color changing is easy.

Sure enough, I changed the left column background to #ffffcc and I'm back to classic LWN color. Changing "Headline background" to #ffffff pretty much completes the look.

That was easy.
