Dr. Dobb's Journal Going Web-Only

Posted by timothy on from the times-change-and-sometimes-that's-good dept.

paleshadows writes "The first issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal (DDJ) was published in January 1976. A few days ago, Herb Sutter (the chair of the ISO C++ committee and a long-time DDJ columnist) announced through his latest blog post that, 'as of January 2009, Dr. Dobb's Journal is permanently suspending print publication and going web-only.' This follows an earlier announcement that PC Magazine is to become digital-only, too, as of February 2009. To those of us who enjoy reading such stuff away from the computer these are bad news, as there seems to be no other major technical programmers' magazines left standing."

    It is called the "Cow Tax." They are trying to TAX farmers for owning cattle which "might" release greenhouse gasses. Beats releasing a bunch of broken glass from one's back orifice. For more details, see the link, but beware!
