  1. Wiring $1 PayPal... by joestar · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seems PayPal offer $1 to every new account. If all Linux users open a PayPal account and wire the $1 to LWN, they will get millions dollars. I just wired my free $1!

    That's your job - I guess I'll have to settle with selling my body to Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

    Sigh - why do *I* always have to do that.

  3. New business model... by Evro · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if this is going to be the beginning of a new business model: threatening to go out of business and then watching the donations rolling in. It sort of reminds me of these old bands/musicians that have a farewell tour every year.
