Linux Journal Goes — Surprise! — Digital

Posted by timothy on from the you-can-print-it-out-like-my-dad-would dept.

Mr_Perl writes "Linux Journal sent out an email to subscribers today announcing that they are going 100% digital. Subscribers signed on for a paper version of the journal, and now have been switched to an electronic version, apparently at the exact same subscription rate. No news yet on why they did it, and no sign of any offers to reimburse unused subscriptions for subscribers who are disappointed."

    I don't think we have the technology to print crap yet. I'm sure someone is working on it though.

    At least I can wipe my ass with it after I take a big shit. I'm not even joking. Magazines and newspapers make great toilet paper substitutes.

    I disagree. Glossy paper just smears the shit around and newspaper gets ink all over your ass. You're better off with a sock.

    That really sucks for the subscribers who either don't have access to or don't know how to use a computer.
