–Linux Journal, LLCFinal Letter from the Editor: The Awkward Goodbye
by Kyle Rankin
Have you ever met up with a friend at a restaurant for dinner, then after dinner you both step out to the street and say a proper goodbye, only when you leave, you find out that you both are walking in the same direction? So now, you get to walk together awkwardly until the true point where you part, and then you have another, second goodbye, that's much more awkward.
That's basically this post.

The local Barnes and Noble still has a bunch of glossy British Linux magazines. Something is messed up in the US publishing industry.

Hint, it's the readership, or lack thereof.

Secret.... B&N has places where you can sit comfortably and browse everything they have. They hope you'll like whatever you're looking at enough to pay for it.
Another secret, though I have to admit it has been forever since I tried it so I only assume they're still doing it.... when you're using B&N's WiFi with a Nook device you can read anything they publish for free up to one hour. Great way to decide if you really want to fork out money for the whatever. It resets daily. I don't know if that applies to the Nook app as well or just the hardwired readers because that's what I use.
This sig for rent.
