The embargo is 2 weeks, and then whatever was there under the $ marker apparently goes off to /dev/null, we can never see it. Or at least theres no obvious link that goes around that time period, allowing us full access to $ stuff after the 2 week embargo. I cannot blme LWN for wanting to be self-supporting, but IMO its utility as a news source was severely reduced by those subscription only changes that appear to permenently restrict the non-subscriber in actual fact. This was not the announced intentions back then IIRC. -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. Soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
