If you open the shutter for a couple of minutes, you'll get streaks. Even with the 30 seconds recommended in that article, you'll get slightly elongated blobs instead of stars. (Unless you use an 18mm lens or shorter)
But still, it's true - it's easy to get started, and all you need is a tripod, a camera, & a remote trigger. You can skip the latter if your camera has a delayed trigger. (But fair warning - if your hobbies tempt you to get new toys, this is a dangerous hobby to have. There are LOTS of toys ;)
