I found this ... Free Magazines?
Be careful with some of the magazines, especially eWeek. They started sending me eWeek about 5 years ago and I have been trying to unsubscribe for at least 4 years. In the last two years, they started calling my office trying to sell other things/services, I usually tell them that "I don't want your magazine and anything else you may have, please stop contacting me", they politely apologize and hang up. Of course I will get a new call in a few days to a few weeks. I noticed the callers from eWeek acquired Indian accent. The funny thing is, I am beginning to wonder what happened to eWeek if they do not call for a month or two.

You don't like my "Fixed" messages? :sigh: I could add some "Broken irrepairably" messages if you feel that would help.

I do, but having seen three threads today with a simple "Fixed" reply I got suspicious about another bot impersonating you. Never know what ASP.NET can do to us... And some video footage would be a nice change. :)

That old thing? That's been up for hours. Just one of those things we thought "hey - I wonder if this is useful to anyone?". One thing led to another and up it went. The coffee page is a result of constant in-fighting between the refined, sophisticated and educated Australian-based coffee lovers on staff and the unwashed North American staff. There is money on the outcome.

But as often: Only for Americans! Why? Because Germans don't read? Europeans don't need it? :confused:

I'll ask TradePub if they can expose more international stuff. We're kind of at the whim of what publishers offer in this.

pretend it's 1908. boil a pot of water on the stove and use it to warm your bath to something bearable.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

The one I signed up for is Dr. Hobbs Journal. Do you get that one? If so, is it any good?

Hi, I'm not from eWeek and I'm wondering why three, yes, count them, three people would make "Hi, I'm from eweek" posts without even noticing that someone else made essentially the same post". Maybe they are from eWeek! [edit]Oh wait. Two of them are from the same person! Maybe the other one is just another login.[/edit] Marc
Errr, my second posting was part of the joke, somebody else got in between :P
I'm largely language agnostic
After a while they all bug me :doh:

ROTF! It's so funny when that happens. The bandwidth of text posts is so limiting. :) Marc

Over the years I have been relocated within the company and my office number has changed at least three times, somehow they can still get me. Maybe one of my coworkers was secretly working for eWeek.
