Thats not how it appears to us non-subscribers. 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.
