LWN: On the future of LWN
As most of you certainly know, the July 25 LWN Weekly Edition stated that publication of the Weekly Edition would cease on August 1, as a result of the fact that we are unable to pay anybody to write it. We could never have dreamed of the sort of response we have gotten to this announcement.
We did expect to get a lot of mail and such, and we did. What we honestly did not expect was the incredible flood of donations. Since the Weekly Edition went out on Wednesday night, LWN readers have donated over $12,000. Working with our reader community has always been the best part of writing LWN; there aren't words to express how gratifying it is to see you all trying to come through for us now. You people are great.
The big question is, of course: what will we do with that money, and will we reconsider our decision to stop publishing the Weekly Edition? It will take us a few days to answer that question, there is a lot to think about here. What we can do now is lay out a bit more information on where things stand; a number of you have complained that we have been less than forthcoming in this regard, and that is true.
There are currently five people involved with LWN:
* Rebecca handles the Distributions and Commerce pages,
* Forrest does Development, Linux in the News, and Announcements, along with various system admin tasks.
* Dennis does the Security page and all of our administrative overhead stuff.
* Jon writes the front and Kernel pages, handles the LWN site code, and pretends to be running the show.
* Dave handles advertising and donations, and does occasional front page duty. ...and, of course, Liz remains a director of the company, a supporter, and a good friend.
Not everybody on that list is working full time doing LWN. But the point should be clear: producing LWN takes a lot of work. A "daily news ticker" pointing to external resources is relatively easy to do, especially if you have software that finds much of the stuff (and readers that send in the rest). But as soon as you try to take a higher-level view, pull all that news together, and write something original that, with luck, actually makes some sense, you simply have to put a substantial amount of time into it.
Writing the LWN Weekly Edition takes far more time than can be expected of people "off hours" - it has to be somebody's real job. Which means that those people have to be paid, provided with insurance benefits, etc. Without that, it's only a matter of time before LWN's authors get fed up, decide to get a job that pays, and reclaim their Wednesday nights to be with their families. That point, clearly, has been reached.
So any solution to LWN's problems has got to deal with the salary issue. While we deeply appreciate the folks who have offered to host LWN for us, that does not address the problem (and, besides, Rackspace is already generously donating hosting services to LWN).
The bottom line: with the current LWN configuration, a bare minimum of about $15,000/month is required to pay these expenses. That level of funding does not pay the sort of salary that LWN's staff could get on the market (even the current market), but it is a start.
Advertising, in recent times, has never brought in more than about $3000 per month - and rather less this summer.
In the end, the donations that have come in are great, they are approaching the amount of money needed to keep us going for one month. If we felt sure that we could sustain that level for the other eleven months of the year, the decision to continue would be easy. Back in the real world, we have to look, one more time, at whether some combination of donations, advertising, subscriptions, etc. could be built into a sustainable business. We will get back to you soon. In the mean time, let us say thanks! for your incredible level of support.
[One brief footnote: if all else fails, we will put up our archives as a tarball for those who want it. We also have several offers from people who are willing to host the archives into the future. So the old LWN content will not disappear off the net anytime soon; there's no need for massive downloads of the entire site at this time.] -

Re:English, please
A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
ghostses?" About 90 students raise their hands.
"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
believe in ghostses, do any of you think you've ever seen
a ghostse?" About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
ghostse?" 15 students raise their hands.
"That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghostse?" 3
students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghostse?"
One student way in the back raises his hand.
The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
claimed to have slept with a ghostse. You've got to come
up here and tell us about your experience."
The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with
ghostse."
The student replies, "Ghostse?!? From ah-way back there ah
thought yuh said "goatse." -

It is url redirection
basically about.com is pulling the content and pushign it back to you
That's a proxy, and this About page is no proxy. On my machine, I have goatse.cx and www.goatse.cx assigned in
.../etc/hosts to an Apache server on 127.0.0.1 (otherwise known as localhost), which mirrors pineight.com. I didn't see the ass but rather the front page of pineight.com, which means that my computer requested the content.It's URL redirection in a frame.

America is dying
It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: America is decaying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered web community when recently IDC confirmed that America accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all server usage. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that America has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. America is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking usage test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict America's future. The hand writing is on the wall: America faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for America because America is decaying. Things are looking very bad for America. As many of us are already aware, America continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Dot-coms are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of their core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
America leader George W. Bush states that there are 7000 users of America. How many users of other protocols are there? Let's see. The number of America versus other protocols posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 other protocols users. Web posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of other protocols posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of America. A recent article put America at about 80 percent of the HTTP market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 web users. This is consistent with the number of Usenet posts about America.
Due to the troubles of Congress, abysmal sales and so on, America went out of business and was taken over by Time-Warner who sell another troubled web service. Now Time-Warner is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that America has steadily declined in market share. America is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If America is to survive at all it will be among hobbyist dabblers. America continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, America is dead.
Fact: America is dead. -

Parent links to Goatse.cx. Here's how:Do not click the link in parent; it goes to sickening male pornography. Piece by piece:

The front end to all Google Web searches.?btnI=cache
Anything passed in btnI will activate the "I'm Feeling Lucky" feature, which sends the user directly to the first result.&cache=wheels+of+zeus
'cache' is not a valid CGI variable for Google, so Google ignores it.%20%20%20%20...%20%20%20%20
Used to push all CGI parameters after it off the right side of the status bar. Good thing I have my system font set to Arial Narrow 8; otherwise I wouldn't have seen it.&q=goatse
