    Except that it's CMP media. They're not an IT publishing company, they're an entertainment publishing company. They are to the IT world as Rush Limbaugh is to Repulicans or the Tappet Brothers are to mechanics. Amusing for the masses but rarely containing anything of particular use to industry professionals. Surly the link from Linux Today was an error, for I seriously doubt that they could have found anything of substance to link to on a CMP web site.
